  1. Does he have a problem with Kate? We've seen interaction, and she squealed 'Hi, Randall!' to the phone when Kevin told her he was talking to him. Did I miss something indicating tension/animosity between them? Taking care of triplets, it looks like. If she has an outside job, so far we haven't seen it, I don't think. Kate either.
  2. well, I might be the only one, but I'm bummed. I came to really love this weird little show.
  3. That's what I want for Kate. I've got weight issues as well, so I get it, and appreciate that a big girl can be on TV. But I just want her to have a LIFE that's not all about the weight. Most women--even we big chicks--have lives, rich, full lives with all kinds of interests and involvements and fun. Even on Mike and Molly, which did address weight, often, and often for a joke---both main characters had full lives with jobs and hobbies and interests. Weight was just one factor of the storylines. It IS only two episodes in, so maybe that will happen here too. I just really hope so. A size 18 on tv would still be viewed as obese and gross and only worthy of fat jokes, most of the time. Katy Mixon, who played Melissa Mccarthy's sister on "mike and Molly' is not a small woman...i'm guessing she's about a 14-16. She's in a recent (and really good) film called 'Hell or High Water', in which the Jeff Bridges character, a sheriff working a case, refers to her as 'the big girl'. And she's on a new upcoming sitcom, the original title of which was 'Second Fattest Housewife in Westport". If you're over a size six in Hollywood, you're pretty much just fat.
  4. Oh, was it? I missed that! Did we see him, or did you just recognize his voice? I am more than ready to see Evan Peters. There is an Anne Rivers Siddons book, a horror novel she wrote as a sort of homage to Shirley Jackson's "Hill House"...called "The House Next Door", a true haunted house story. This house--which is sleek and new, not old and falling down--seizes upon the weaknesses, fears, guilts, etc of its occupants and uses it against them in the worst ways. In one scenario, a man is caught in flagrante delicto with a neighbor wife, but his, and her, faces are described as being shocked, empty--there is no passion, no joy, no pleasure, they have been forced to do this thing by the house. That's what Cuba's face looked like, it's what the scene called to mind. Creepy as hell. Leslie Jordan!! I love him!!
  5. They said it was cake. The jizz/lambs homage was clear, but I choose to believe it really was cake.
  6. I'm finding myself increasingly annoyed by the fat girl storyline. It's as if it's her ONLY characteristic. In this episode. she even SAYS 'the weight is everything, it's all i am', or something like that. Does she have a job? Friends? Pets? interests? Fat people manage to have all of the above, plus love interests, AND manage to not cry all the time, or only talk about food. I want to like her, and do like the actress, but so far she is strictly ONE dimenion: fat. And I still don't like her boyfriend. He tries too hard to be funny, he's crass n tacky and that weird little splotch of hair on the front of his head bugs me. Also, not all fat girls only have fat boyfriends. Melissa McCarthy, Delta Burke, Oprah. Monique, Jill Scott. All with average sized significant others. Nothing wrong with a fat hubby, but on tv/flicks, the fat guys get hot slim wives but the fat chicks only get fat balding guys. The twist at the end of the episode left me with mixed feelings, but I'm not really ready to speculate that Rebecca cheated on Jack. I hope not. And I love justin Hartley, and unlike many here, I think he's a good actor, but it's hard to feel too bad for his character...poor young actor guy, making three mill a year but stuck with a job he doesn't like. Um, shut up, pretty Kevin. I absolutely choose to believe the story about the cat.
  7. I thought the sisters moved in in 1989.
  8. lily rabe is a goddess, honestly. talented like her mom, but even more beautiful. I love sarah Paulson, think she's brilliant, but I have a serious girl crush on Rabe. even in just her talking heads, she's very affecting, I think. Cuba was grossly miscast as OJ, but I don't think he's a bad actor, and I think he seems fine here, so far.
  9. I now must know what that terrifying movie was. I often go see horror films that are described as really scary, and come away disappointed, even when I like them. Like you, it's the quieter ones, without the gore or fx, and/or rooted in some reality that really wind up frightening me most. I'm always terrified when I see an animal in a film or tv show with a dark bent, always horribly certain it will wind up mutilated or boiled or nailed on a door. I felt awful enuf about the pig on the doorstep, it'd kill me if it were a beloved pet. So I kind of hope they don't get any guard dogs. Wait, she went back in time? I missed that too.
  10. right? I keep seeing people here and there posting that Blair Witch was boring, that this episode was boring, but this kind of slow burn, ramped up tension thing is what tends to scare me the most, much more than gore and overt violence. And that visual at the end of Blair Witch terrified the bejesus out of me too.
  11. I think we did get a glimpse of beautiful Wes there at the end. Evan is one of the main reasons I watch, always. I already liked him from a few small roles before AHS, but tortured pretty Tate killed me. Metaphorically speaking. I will be so pissed if they hide him under pig man makeup.
  12. This, so far, is right up my alley. I found it creepy and spooky as hell. Very Blair witch. No, we did not see all the actors listed in the credits yet. Not sure lily rabe could be called less attractive than Sarah Paulson on any planet. They're both stunning. I also laughed at Marcia Clark being married to OJ Simpson I'm hooked so far. Not hate watching
  13. i'd happily do either, honestly. I liked this episode. Nick is, frankly, pretty much the only reason I've kept watching consistently; I find Frank Dillane a really compelling actor and pretty, too, like a baby Johnny Depp (and we kind of need a new one these days), even when he's grimy and has stupid hair, which is usually.
  14. I never had a big wedding, but I've read a million different times that lots of couples are so exhausted from all the festivities that they can't even muster up the energy for sex after. so starting the day with a bang seems like a good idea. of course, Sam and Jason are just so very lusty (snore) that I'm sure they'll do it multiple times again after theirs.
  15. I fervently hope that nelle is somehow carly's daughter, come to seek revenge and wreak havoc, and will eventually seduce sonny (gross). it'd be fun just to watch bobbi shrug and say 'karma's a bitch, honey'.
  16. Leon waxing rhapsodic about Paul Reiser's genius and not getting the credit he deserves after watching all of 'Mad about You' was, like, my favorite thing ever.
  17. I get finding Franco more objectionable than mobsters, I guess---I just don't happen to, but I get it. I find Sonny and Julian, et al, more offensive cuz at least they try to explain away Franco and Jason's murderous tendencies with traumatic brain injuries or tumors or whatever. Sonny and Julian are mostly mobsters and killers cuz they want to be. I find that grosser. Full disclosure: I love roger howarth and tho it's ludicrous that they made him Franco, I remain his fan and am more willing to overlook his character's horrible behavior than actors I am not fond of. I'm shallow. And I like his hair.
  18. Roger howarth is extremely attractive to some people. Probably even a lot of people. Soap operas have a long and sad history of turning rapists and murderers into leading men. It's stupid and it should stop, but if I remained morally outraged by every character to whom this 'transformation' has occurred, I'd pretty much have to hate every other male soap character. And that probably holds true more for GH st this point, where mobsters and hit men are our 'heroes'. I hate Sonny and Jason, always have, always will, so I get hating Franco as well. But I don't. Jason---and I once loved billy Miller---seems far more offensive to me now, so Franco insulting his smug, bloated, art-hatin' self made me laugh.
  19. Hover board bride was endlessly annoying and boring. These insecure, attention hungry people who are self proclaimed 'over the top entrance makers' are needy energy sucks. Her friends are clearly exhausted and irritated by her. Ugh.
  20. Is this Hannah's first/only dip into the lady pool? Cuz going from some macking to full on vagina eating is a big leap. Ambitious.
  21. I love the casting of Robert Morse as Dunne, because so much of Dunne's writing was a reaction to, and reflection of Truman Capote's life, going so far as to create a character, Basil Plant, who was a Capote doppelganger...and Dunne was fully as much of a starfucker and gossip as Capote. Morse played Capote on Broadway in 'Tru' and won a Tony for it. He must find that symmetry kind of delicious. I do, anyway.
  22. I love Gillian, and more especially Scully, and my boyfriend would definitely agree about the shagging her thing, but I'm the exception to the rule,I guess. I have no interest in shagging her. But David duchovny remains on my permanent laminated list. (And none of it is sour grapes that GA has gotten to work intimately with him AND number one on my list: Mads mikkelsen) I'm just hopelessly, boringly straight. I do believe GA has more range, probably, than DD, and she can sure make me cry, but I think DD is really underrated, and has evolved into a pretty fine, subtle, intuitive actor. And I have always loved mulder, and he has always had the potential to break my heart,,but this mulder---the older, wearier, sadder, adrift but still sardonic mulder---I find him utterly heartbreaking. I do not see boredom, not in his performance or his characterization.
  23. I liked it. Too much for one episode, yes, with some clunky exposition. But the MOTW was scary, and the 'downtown' murder, set to the jaunty music, seemed a definite call back to 'home' and was genuinely disturbing. Scully made me cry. And I thought she and mulder were very dear tonite. Read an interview with glen Morgan---he recently lost his mom, and the whole quarter on a necklace thing was taken from that experience. His mom had that, and none of them knows why. I wonder if we'll ever find out what it meant to mama scully, or if it'll stay a mystery, like Morgan's mom's is.
  24. Yeah, she seemed jealous and bitchy to me as well. With perhaps some real concern mixed in, tho that didn't especially make it all more palatable. Liza is an adult, aware of the possible problems of an age difference in a relationship, and able to make her own call on it all. The friend was out of line. When I was forty and fairly newly divorced, I fell---quite accidentally--in love with a 25 year old musician who was also my subordinate at work. Could not have been more inconvenient or inappropriate. A long time married friend told me to get a 'real boyfriend' and to stop acting like 'an old whore'. Liza's friend was more tactful but the message wasn't terribly different. (Nearly 12 years later, my inappropriate honey and I are still together and great. The friend? I see her on FB and that's about it). Ack, the quote above was meant to be with this post. Stupid phone. Or I'm just a clueless oldster about technology.
