So, let's imagine that you have an "influential" morning news show, and let's also imagine that a bombshell story broke the night before about the president's henchmen possibly plotting to assassinate a US ambassador, what do you do: a) Spend 15 minutes talking about baseball b) Spend another 20 minutes talking about he said/she said at the latest debate c) Wax nostalgic about those wonderful days when you were running for office because, as we all know, it's all about you d) Pick your toenails e) What was the story again?

This show is hysterical, I wish more people were watching and talking about it. I honestly never thought I'd see Damian Wayne refer to himself as a lil sweet potato pie 🙂The whole talk show things was a riot! I love the world they've created and how all the villains superheroes and regular people interact.

This show is awesome. It's delightfully unhinged. I didn't stop laughing for the whole 22 minutes and I nearly died when from the Queen of Fables being trapped in the US Tax Code by the Justice League because they're bitches. This is definitely my kind of nuts.

I think the Flamingo is Cree Summer. A different world was mentioned in her package last episode and she was on that show. She's also short at 5'3".

I must be the audience this episode was aimed at because I loved every minute of it. The over the top music the pointless melodrama of labeling the acts, the constant stream of tears rolling down Vera's face, I thought it was all awesome! And, it gave Rami the chance to really blow the doors off acting wise when the big reveal came. Earlier in the season, there was a scene with Mr. Robot and Elliot's mother and younger self in a boardroom saying they were waiting for someone to sit in the chair at the head of the table. I thought it was maybe going to be a big reveal of another alter, but this episode provided the cathartic event that will allow Elliot to be in charge now, maybe for the first time in his life. He will sit in the big chair. He is the storm. On a side note, first Wellick and now Vera: Elliot's catnip for psychos.

There are too many voice overs on this show and one of them needs to go. And I don't mean Rachel Maddow. I'm just not interested in the wangst surrounding Sophie. She's hiding her sexuality, she's got a husband, and yet she's got herself assigned to Mary so she can pump her for info about Kate. I know where this is going to lead: "I luv you, but I can't hurt my husband! Whatever shall I do? Oh the drama, oh the tragedy!" and then a safe falls on hubby's head, and the second season is entirely about Sophie feeling too guilty to move on with Kate. I don't want to see any of this! Why can't Reagan be Earth-1's version of Maggie Sawyer, who was working undercover as a bartender? I think Katherine is responsible (probably unintentionally) for the car being so heavy the bat-cables broke. Maybe she was smuggling U-238 for terrorists or something. I also think she faked the bone fragments and Beth's DNA in order to get Jacob to move on with his life with her. ETA: I really like Mary. She reminds me of Felicity where she was first introduced; bright, bubbly, and fun to be around. Even better, since she and Kate are sisters there won't be any romantic wangst and love triangles to suck the life out of everything. I hope she finds out soon and joins Team Batwoman.

Have you tried a streaming service like Hulu, Direct tv, or youtube tv? I ditched comcast over a year ago because they were too freakin' expensive. I'm pretty sure all of those services offer TCM.

Rottweiler is James Van Der Beek. I found a video of him singing on You Tube and it's his voice. I agree with Ken that Skeleton is Martin Short. I have no idea who the others are.

It burns me up every time I see Marlon Brando mumble his way through Luck Be A Lady while Frank Sinatra is forced to to stand by in silent horror. Who thought that was a good idea? As for movies that might benefit from a remake: how about Cat On a Hot Tin Roof?

Just finished watching Bunny Lake Is Missing. And what a strange, creepy film it was! I was absolutely convinced it was going one way, right up until Keir Dullea opened the trunk of his car and then you could have knocked me over with a feather. Carol Lynley had such an other wordly quality to her. I've mostly seen her on tv. She did really well in this particularly considering that she had so many scenes opposite Laurence Olivier.

Just got around to watching Dodsworth last night. What a wonderful movie. It was so much more than I expected. Like so many have said, it's so modern it could have been made today. Walter Huston played the character with so much warmth , charm and sincerity. Sure he was just a tourist roaming pointing at things and bubbling over with excitement, but he was so honest about it that anyone who looked down on him came off as an insufferable snob. You know, like his wife. Ruth Chatterton did a fantastic job playing Fran as increasingly ridiculous and delusional. Man, that scene where she tells fresh-faced, young Mary Astor that she hopes she looks as good as her when she gets to be her age is both hilarious and cringe worthy. The scenes where Fran gets smacked down, first by Kurt's mother and then by Dodsworth himself are so satisfying. I haven't seen much of Mary Astor beyond her hardened femme fatale in The Maltese Falcon so this aspect of her was a revelation. She was just marvelous.

Does anyone else get kind of a Taxi Driver vibe from this? I've been trying to ignore this project, but the preview has got me interested. I love JP's laugh. It's not quite Mark Hamill level, but it's pretty darn good.

Here's the new poster. I'm going to miss Bucky's flowing locks, but he sure does clean up good.

Don't know how accurate this source is but, the Spider Man thing might have blown over already. https://cosmicbook.news/spider-man-deal-7-movies-avengers

Well, that was a direction I wasn't expecting the show to take, and I don't mean the Germans winning WW2. It's going to be awkward around old Stately Wayne Manor in the future. I'm surprised Esme got it so soon. I was sure she would have at least one more meeting with Sykes. I wonder who did her in, the Ravens, the No-Names, or the British governement? They're all sadistic murders. My money's on that police inspector that was threatening Alfred.

I don't actually like An American in Paris that much either (is shocked that I had the nerve to say, er, write that out loud). I only first saw it about a year ago, and it was such a huge universally beloved classic that I thought I'd love it too, only, it just didn't work that much for me. I absolutely fluv Singing in the Rain though. I could watch the Moses Supposes number on a loop all day.

Count me in on that Unpopular Opinion. Sometimes Brando was great, other times he chewed the scenery, the props, the other actors. It was always a crap shoot on what you'd get with him.

Yeah, I loved it! It was a really well made B movie. There was a remake in the 50s (can't remember the title) but this is the good version. This one also has Chester Morris and Allen Jenkins, two actors I just enjoy in everything. I was watching Pillow Talk off my DVR a few days ago, and the old man operating the elevator seemed awfuly familiar. I was wracking my brain trying to figure out who it was and then suddenly I was like, "OMG, it's Allen Jenkins!"

I love 3:10 to Yuma! I think it's better than High Noon. Ford gives such a complicated, seductive performance.; while Van Heflin excels as an everyman who takes a dangerous job just to get enough money so he and his family can survive and then has to face fear, temptation, and a growing need to do the right thing. Those last few minutes when they try to get to the train are real edge-of-your-seat stuff, and put to shame similar higher budget efforts. And, that ending where Heflin's wife is waiting by the tracks to see if he made it out alive, and he waves to her from the train and it starts raining is one of the most satisfying endings ever. Ford and Heflin made this movie. I've always loved Ford, and I think Heflin is the best actor I've ever seen. He wasn't the most attractive guy in the world, and I suppose that stopped him from becoming a really big name star, but he was just so damn talented.

This was a disappointment. It felt like a particularly slow moving episode of the X-Files. From one of the later seasons. Too much time spent on nonsense and vines creeping on people before we got around to swamp thinging Alec Holland. Also, unless Crystal Reed shot Virginia Madsen's daughter just to watch her die, I don't care. I floved Doom Patrol, Titans irritated me with it's wangst, and this is boring and a more than a bit gross. So, that's 1 for 3 for the Dc streaming service.

Remember when Drogo fell off his horse and his khalasar fucked off with a new leader? They didn't even stick around for the funeral. The Dothraki turn on their leaders if they show weakness, and getting shanked by her boyfriend was weakness. The Unsullied may honor Dany's memory, but the Dothraki stopped caring about her before her body was even cold.

I mean, wow, I don't know where to begin. This show is the most insane thing I have ever seen. Beard eaters, sure. Sentient Gender Queer streets, ok. Giant cockroach and rat same sex lust, why the hell not? And, still the whole thing was deeply character driven. Chief caused everyone's "accident" in order to achieve immortality. Does that include Vic's as well? I mean, Silas knew that's what he'd been up to, but he didn't make a connection between what happened to Vic and what the Chief had done to the the others. Was he just being obtuse? Also, Danny's now a brick. That's not as much fun as a street. They can't have the karaoke bar on a brick. They can't fit a haven for all the misfits on a brick.

From the moment anybody on this show ever met Dany that had to listen to her drone on and on about how self-important she was, how entitled she was to rule, and how if they didn't bow down to her they would meet a violent end. But, of course, Sansa giving her dirty looks is exactly the same as burning people alive. The people of Westeros are better off having a tree rule over them. At least they won't have to sit through 15 minutes of vanity titles every time they need to go and see him.

When the Northmen return with tales of the unimaginable horror Dany rained down on King's Landing and how it was the Stark children who ended her, brought peace to Westeros and independence for the North, it's only going to solidify Stark rule. The Starks have ruled the North for 8000 years. Those that opposed them or failed to honor oaths are all dead. A Stark rules in the North and the South. The North's not going to turn on their rightful ruler now because of petty politics or because Jon shanked the crazy foreign queen who burned thousands of innocent men, women and children alive. If anything the outcome of this mess will only strenghten their belief in the Starks.
