I didn't like Bonnie or Christie either (both just horrible people) but the one I really couldn't stand was Violet. Wanna know why?? Because she made me want to defend Christie. And that's some unforgivable bullshit right there!

Ehh, I'm 46 and while I know who Martin Short is is be hard pressed to name something he was in. I would imagine that Gomez, who is much younger than me, would be weekend less likely to know who he is. I remember Steve Martin mainly from old SNL sketches I've seen and Father of the Bride.
Martin and Short are from a very different era and have been tested 6 very differently than Gomez by the media so yeah, she's likely going to be much more reserved than them. She's a young Mexican American female who a lot of people only think of as dating Justin Bieber (regardless of her own accomplishments). I'm not going to fault her for her reserve when compared to two strong personalities such as Martin and Short during media interviews.

Okay so weird question: do NYC apartments not have window screens? Is that a tv thing or a real life thing? All I could think of is how so these people not keep flying bugs and birds out???

Incompetence is one thing, but this guy is just a crook. He steals money and I bet his favorite customers are women alone. He figures he can wear them down with lies and excuses (I was half-expecting him to say "family emergency" or his grammy died, but even he knew that wouldn't fly), blow them off and they won't have the nerve to fight with ZZ Top from The Hills have Eyes.
The P's reviw is here:

I was wondering if that was her. Once they said Florida I needed to know where this guy was

I would pay food money for a Harley Quinn and Wolverine (gotta be Jackman) movie. That would be hysterical.

I actually didn't hate the first film even though I didn't think it was all that good (Batman v. Superman was what got all of my rage), but I definitely thought this was superior by far. Much better directed, the laughs were stronger, I actually ended up caring for almost all of the main characters, and the story and main villains were generally stronger. Not perfect, but a contender for the best out of the DCEU line-up. I know he might not be for everyone but between this and the Guardians of the Galaxy films (even the second one, which I liked more than many), I think James Gunn really excels at these types of films.
Still debating over who was the standout. Margot Robbie was once again pitch perfect as Harley Quinn and got much better material here. I certainly hope she keeps doing this for however long she wants to (and, hey, Gunn managed to film her in a way where she was still extremely gorgeous, but didn't practically duct tape a camera to her ass like David Ayer pretty much did in the first film.) While Bloodsport definitely had a lot of similarities to Deadshot (wouldn't surprise if the initial drafts were him and got changed when Will Smith decided to not come back), Idris Elba did an excellent job and avoided some of the "straight man" traps, and still made him a fun character. David Dastmalchian is one of those recognizable faces that I enjoy seeing (including Kurt in the Ant-Man franchise), and he was great as making the ridiculous sounding Polka-Dot Man (and his equally ridiculous outfit) actually compelling and interesting. King Shark was fun as expected and Sylvester Stallone was a good fit.
But I think my MVPs are between two performances that are different in their own ways. First, there is Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher. Not familiar with her going in, but I'm a huge fan now. It's a bit cliche, but she really made Ratcatcher the "heart" of the team, and I thought she made the character very relatable and sympathetic. The flashbacks with her dad (Taika Waititi!) honestly hit more with me than stories with way, way more scenes and build up. Hopefully this isn't the last we see Ratcatcher, but either way I hope Melchior goes places, but she was a real standout here.
The second is John Cena as Peacemaker. As my screen name might suggest, I was definitely a fan of his during his wrestling days, but have been a bit more mixed with his film work. But I think his turn here is more proof that he excels best with comedy, because he had me laughing almost every time he said something (and sometimes he didn't have to say anything. His bad dancing in the club scene almost had me on the floor.) And while I still won't say he's going to be a thespian anytime soon, I do think he established good rapport and banter with some of the main talent: especially with Elba. Curious to see how the spin-off show will go; especially after Peacemaker's heel turn at the end; but I'm looking forward to seeing more of Cena in this role.
Even with limited screen time, no one can command the screen quite like Viola Davis can. She really makes Amanda Waller more chilling and even scary compared to ones with all powers and whatnot.
Most films would be satisfied with Evil Scientist Peter Capaldi as the main villain, but of course this film would just have him be the appetizer for the main course: Starro the Conqueror!
All the deaths were fun, even if I predicted most of them: from Captain Boomrang's "surprising" early exit to Polka-Dot Man being the last one to go right after his heroic moment. Only main surprise was Rick Flag, which is kind of ironic after finding him to be one of the weakest parts of the first film, but actually kind of liking him this go around. Still, it was fun watching a parade of familiar faces go out in creative ways, like Pete Davison getting an especially graphic death (have to imagine both Gunn and Davison knew what they were doing there), and Gun mainstays Michael Rooker and Nathan Fillion showing up as well. And, of course, James would make sure he has a nice CGI role for his brother: this time as Weasel!
The whole gag with Milton the driver and how that played out reminded me of the whole Peter bit in Deadpool.
Bloodsport and Peacemaker unknowingly taking out a rebellion camp to "save" Flag was some grade A dark humor: especially once they realized what happened.
Harley's massacre of the henchmen was both beautiful and likely a good way to avoid an NC-17 rating with how brutal it probably was in real time.
After the surprising disappointment of Wonder Woman 1984, I'm back to cautiously hoping the D.C. Films might get their act together again. Which means I probably should prepare to be letdown...
I agree about Cena. I'm not really familiar with his wrestling days but while he's not the best actor he's got something about him that makes me like watching him on screen. He just seems like a nice guy who's having a blast and he's just enjoyable!

glad he didn't win, for the sake of the show. But Dave does have a job as a conflict mediator, doesn't he?
Ehh, depending on the size of the town he could likely do both.

Mentioned it having a lot of heart, but I've gotta mention I was a big fan of Harley and Flag's friendship
Yes!!! I really liked that part a lot.
Outside of Sebastian, Flagg and Harley I think Polka-dot Man and Milton were my favorite characters.

I love (still) the first for seasons of West Wing. Once Sam left I was done though. Rob Lowe and Sam brought such a sweet earnestness that was lacking afterwards. And I get why Lowe was pissed, it was sold to him a one thing and TPTB got sold into Bradley Whitfield/Josh (who I did like a lot) but forgot they needed to balance him out.

Just finished the first season and that was..... interesting. In a good way though my utter fear of cockroaches was almost a deal breaker. The rat on roach love. I just don't even know what to say.
I'll be honest, Cliff and hammerhead may be my favorite characters (Rita is a close third). Jane probably my least.
I binged 15 episodes in a little over two days, I'll definitely do season 2.

New food for the Minnesota State Fair.
Personally, I plan on trying: The Banh Mi sausage roll, The Kerala Fried Chicken Kati Roll, Carmelized Banana Pudding and The Naughty Biscuit (Pork Belly, arugula, pickled red onions, candied jalapeños and a beer-cheese sauce.)
I will report back in August.
Listen if you need help properly evaluating the carmelized banana pudding and/or the pork belly dish, I'm 100% here for you cause that's the just kind of internet friend I am. We just got work out the minor issue of me living in Florida.....#friendsdontletfriendssamplebananapuddingandporkbellyalone.

I have a g&t almost every night. Most times it's fever tree tonic (Mediterranean of I can't find it), Bloom, Hendricks, or Ford's gin & muddled red grapefruit.

I mean he has been a steadily working actor in tv and films for about 20 years including big budget stuff like three Spider-Man movies.
I mean it's more than a joke than anything but he just seems so...irrelevant and kind of like a last minute addition to the things I've seen him in.
Edit: wait he was in Spider-Man?? Seriously! He just does not make any sorry of impression on me, does he???

You can lockdown by the tweet which is what she did in this case.
Well that's disappointing (but probably smart).

So has phylicia always had her Twitter locked down to comments or is this recent?

I wanted to give a plug for press on nails. They have come SO FAR since the Lee Press On French manicure days. I mean, they are truly amazing. I buy Dashing Diva online and Kiss Impress at the store (which I FIRMLY believe are the exact same). I get so, so, so many compliments. The adhesives are easier on my nails, and give more of a warning when one is getting loose. They say you can wear them for up to 10 days, but I get bored and want to change after 5 tops. I've also found that Family Dollar has some as cheap as $1.50, though they don't come with glue or as many sizes. But they are still a fun choice for very cheap.
Honestly, for $10 and not even 15 minutes of your life (takes longer to separate and size the nails than to put them on), this can't be beat. If you are into doing your nails even a little bit, I can't recommend giving press ons a try. However, I have not, nor do I a plan to, try the press on pedicure. Just...no.
100% agree. I've used the press on a few times and get ALOT of compliments.
Downside (?) though is that shit can be hard to take off!!

My guess is that Gloria did have to retrain for nursing. But nursing has always been more willing to accept women and people of color into the profession, so she was able to get hired in a way that she couldn't as a doctor.
I have no idea why Abishola and Gloria were in surgery. That confused me, too. I think it is probably just the tv nonsense of all medical professionals covering every specialty, like how a lot of shows have surgeons who are as likely to do open heart surgery as they are to do a bowel resection or work traumas in the ER or operate on someone's brain for whatever random reason. TV doesn't seem to care about making much sense in that regard.
Yeah, this. I can't think of one TV show or movie that understands that nurses aren't interchangeable.

Jenny and Cassie are idiots. They're also obnoxious and think they are better at this job than they actually are. Jerrie is fine, if rather one note. I rather like the marshal. He's weird and smart.
JW and Rand are dead and I couldn't give a shit about who did it. I still like Cheyenne and either she or her mama needs to put a bullet in daddys head.

I really don't like that they went down the formulaic trope with Tayo. We can dislike the guy for being a dick without him being all evil and wanting to steal his son away from his mom.

Oohh we're getting a culver's here (grand opening is next month I think). I may have to try it once the craziness dies down.
