"In A World....." Movie and TV Show Trailers
Tom Holmberg replied to OriginalCyn's topic in Commercials
That show's been on for quite a number of years now. I've never watched it, but I always assumed to draw is more the "Naked" than the "Afraid." I'm afraid. Why they don't have a show "Naked Golf" I don't know (it might actually make golf watchable), or even better, "Naked Celebrity Bowling" (I'll be copyrighting that tomorrow). -

Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads

The ad with Eric Roberts says their tubs drain extra fast. Another ad for these things says something about a heated seat that keeps your butt warm while the tub is filling. -

My father whenever he was annoyed by a driver of a big ugly car called it a "big Buick" no matter what make it was. So people do have a certain idea of what a Buick is. -

All these investment co. ads have millionaire customers worrying if they'll still be able to take cruises and winter in the Bahamas and ski at Aspen when they retire from the corporate job. The same worries most people have, not! The average amount Americans actually have in retirement savings is around $85,000. That's enough to live on for three years with Social Security added. -

Miracle Workers - General Discussion
Tom Holmberg replied to Meredith Quill's topic in Miracle Workers
Reminded me a little of the play "Steambath", where God is a Puerto Rican steambath attendant, who does all kinds of horrible things to people, then brings nice weather to Puerto Rico (he must have been sleeping during the hurricane, though). -

77 Sunset Strip - General Discussion
Tom Holmberg replied to Meredith Quill's topic in 77 Sunset Strip
Julie Adams, who appeared in five "77 Sunset Strip" episodes passed away. Best known for starring in "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954). "Universal Studios once declared her legs "the most perfectly symmetrical in the world" and insured them for $125,000." Those were the days! :) https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/julie-adams-dead-creature-black-lagoon-actress-was-92-1047543 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0011105/?ref_=fn_nm_nm_1 -
I wouldn't mind seeing that. He did something stupid 30 years ago. He originally apologized, but everyone piled on anyway. Then he gave that second press conference (which didn't help him any and made matters worse-though it didn't matter because everyone was already saying he was a dead man walking). For me the issue is that if you do something stupid years ago, does it not matter everything you've done since? (Unlike Steve King, who Northam was unfairly compared to, who is saying this stuff now.) If that's the case, almost everybody is a target. As with Joy Reid, the response should be to admit you were wrong, apologize (not a fake "I apologize that you were upset" apology), and say you are not that person now.
