  1. Isn't it that Kidman and Bardem are about 15 years older than Lucy and Desi as portrayed in the movie? Also, Kidman has had so much work done to her face that it doesn't move, and part of Lucy's schtick was her facial expressions.
  2. I didn't realize Robert Duncan McNeill was a producer and director on this show.
  3. Unless it was added in post-production. The baby was only in one scene, wasn't it?
  4. Bravo. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I'll go one further. Once something has aired (in whatever format), it's not my responsibility to ensure you (the plural you) remain unspoiled. Also, I don't get upset if I do read a spoiler about a show I watch. I mean, it's just TV. On the subject of Betty White: while I found her funny in her signature roles (Sue Ann Niven, Rose Nylund), she wasn't some comedy genius, and I never understood how she came to be perceived as a comedy god. Was it just her longevity? It's sad she died, but c'mon, she was 99 years old. She had a full, apparently happy, life and remained active throughout.
  5. I just watched the Teddy mustache episode. He is just the worst. Why do the writers think emotional abuse/blackmail is funny? What he does to Bob and Linda in the name of "friendship" is painful to watch. I so want Bob to beat the shit out of him.
  6. I know! I miss those days when feeding Christians to the lions was just good family fun. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
  7. Aren't those "two days early" things just payday loans that you have to pay back before the usurious interest rates kick in?
  8. You can always decline the premium when making a donation to a nonprofit. There's usually a box to tick or you can just write in that you don't want the item. I do it all the time.
  9. The various iterations of "The Brady Bunch" also fits this category. After the original sitcom ended, the Bradys returned as musical/variety show hosts (with nuJan), then a Christmas movie (with nuCindy), and finally a "dramedy" (IIRC) with nuMarcia.
  10. I think I have one that fits. "The Torklesons" was an NBC sitcom in the 1990s that featured Connie Ray as Millicent Torkelson, a poor, single mom with five kids struggling to make ends meet in a small town in Oklahoma. She takes in a boarder, and her eldest daughter talks to the "man in the moon" to share her dreams and desires (not in a crazy way). The next season, Millicent has taken a job. With her three children in tow, she moves to Seattle to become the nanny for a rich widower (Perry King) with two teenage children. The series is now called "Almost Home."
  11. To be fair, she's a terrible-to-mediocre sitcom actress who got lucky.
  12. Nothing to help you get in the Christmas spirit like watching "Xmas Story," Futurama's first Christmas episode. "Your mistletoe is no match for my TOW missle!"
  13. Gene and Teddy are two of the characters I like the least, but for some reason, the writers are enamored of them. To be fair, Bob's business is barely holding on. In the real world, Bob's Burgers would have closed years ago.
  14. There's one for Tefeflora that should be heartwarming, but I kind of hate it. A little girl gets flowers from her grandmother, and the card says that grandma can't be there in person. The little girl is devastated. She pretends that the floral arrangement is Granny, so she carries it everywhere so they can spend time together and have fun together. I've seen two versions, so I'm not sure of the time frame, but at some point, she's getting ready for bed and we hear from off camera, "Good night," and it's Granny after all! What a POS trick to play on the kid.
  15. So was my response, hence the wink emoji. The birth of Jesus Christ? Since my joke seemed to go over people's heads, I will now bow out of this discussion. Merry Christmas ๐ŸŽ… ๐ŸŽ„
  16. It's a good thing I don't let the Internet do my thinking for me. ๐Ÿ˜‰
  17. Interesting I watch a bunch of true crime YouTube channels and The Crime Reel recently covered this. The Chippendales Curse
  18. Because at one point, one of them said it was their favorite or they liked it and now Big Data knows everything about them.
  19. *Throws down gauntlet* "Die Hard" is not a Christmas movie! ๐Ÿคฃ
  20. How I Met Your Father coming to Hulu. So the guys who fucked up HIMYM with an absolutely shitty ending get to do the same thing all over again? I thought the concept of this show died in the collateral damage from the disastrous end to HIMYM.
  21. I can't find a forum on this show, so I think there must not be any interest in it, but I've watched "Tacoma FD" for the past three seasons, and I enjoy it. The show follows a fire company in Tacoma, Washington. It's on truTV (which used to be Court TV). I think it's one of their first scripted shows. It's by the guys who did "Super Troopers." The humor gets raunchy, but never overly gross.
  22. I'm feeling the same way about another commercial that I can't remember the product -- a little girl builds a snowman and along comes a kid who knocks it down. She freaks out, grabs the snowman and shoves it into the family's refrigerator's freezer (throwing all the food out onto the kitchen floor while her lame-ass parents just sit there). We follow the kid and the snowman all through the year until the following winter when she brings it out and sets it on the snow ... until some kid (different from the one who knocked the snowman down last year) runs his bicycle over it (which makes me laugh every time). She starts to rebuild it, and the kid who knocked it down in the first place starts helping her. I think he's supposed to be her brother, but we never really see him in any of the other family scenes of the girl and her parents, and I'm thinking he might be autistic or have some other developmental issues. It just bugs me because they don't make the family relationships clear, plus the weak parents who let the kid's dirty snowman take up the freezer for a whole year.
