Inquisitionist

Ford was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer two years ago.

I may have to give Talk of the Town another try. I watched the first 20 minutes a few months ago and could not get into it.

i.e., she styled it differently, hence, a new hairstyle.

The only top-flight law firm I know of that is predominantly women did not set out for that status. Brune & Richard: The article is from April 2013. Since then, Hillary Richard has retired and Susan Brune now heads Brune Law.

I'm wondering if Schwimmer already gets "opportunities" but declines them. Given his prior earnings and his other interests (such as his ongoing involvement with the Lookingglass Theater in Chicago), perhaps he's working just as much as he wants to in TV and film?

I watched "Hey, Look Me Over" last night for the first time in ages, and it didn't grate as much as I had remembered. I mostly hate what they did to Hawkeye in the later seasons. He seemed much more perceptive in the early years.

I thought you were making a sarcastic joke, but having seen other people refer to this, all I can add is "Eeeeeew."

I missed the last few minutes due to DVR issues (and Madame Secretary running waaaaaaay over). Did anything of substance happen after accepted the invitation to celebrate Lucca's promotion?

Well, THAT sent me scurrying to Google pronto. LOL!

Agree (as you might suspect from my comments above), though I strongly dislike the Nurse Kelly episode.

Oh my gosh, I remember seeing that in a movie theater when I was 10, one of the very few times my whole family went out to see a movie together. We laughed so hard. When I saw it on TV a few years ago, I thought it held up pretty well. "Ee-mare-gen-cee. Everybody to get from street." Hee.

It's from Kitty Kelly, but sounds totally plausible to me:

Did Carrie miss deadlines? I recall many references to her needing to work to meet a deadline. She actually seemed conscientious about that. And I'm no Carrie apologist! :P

I don't really blame Carrie for sending Aidan to help Miranda that one time -- Carrie had a legitimate professional commitment that she couldn't drop out of the blue because Miranda demanded her attention. BUT, Carrie could have handled the follow-up much, much better than she did. Miranda was right to call her out on the "bullshit bagels."

Agree re Teri Garr -- she was terrific! But not re Lange. I thought she played basically the same character in Frances as she did in Tootsie and I wasn't that impressed with either performance.

Alan Sepinwall interviews Alison Wright about playing Martha. Not spoiler-y. Hadn't realized that she's another Brit. Here she talks about doing an American accent:

From Rolling Stone: Keith Emerson, Emerson, Lake and Palmer Keyboardist, Dead at 71 A cause of death has not been disclosed.

Slightly OT: I met Matthew Morrison after seeing him perform at a benefit a couple of years ago. What a sweetheart, and soooo talented as a song-and-dance man. His version of Send in the Clowns almost had me in tears.

She did. From what I've read, she had her hair cut and permed at the start of the trial. As it dragged on and her perm grew out, she didn't have time to get a new perm (and perhaps didn't want to), so she had it cut into a style she could blow-dry easily. Anything she said to that clerk would have ended up in the tabloids the next day, in an unflattering way. I think she really had no alternative but to remain silent, as awful as that had to be for her.

And that scene did not appear in The Godfather. I watched a few hours of the epic On Demand last night, and found most of the reinserted "deleted scenes" to be superfluous at best, and laughable at worst -- especially Michael on his bed after the explosion swearing vengeance at Fabrizzio. My advice: watch the movies, which are masterpieces, and skip this epic, which removes much of the poetry of the original pacing and inserts some trash that was rightfully discarded the first time around.

When one has an acrimonious divorce, as it appears Marcia and Gordon did, it's difficult to trust that what the other party is offering is genuine. I suspect Marcia feared that agreeing to a "temporary" arrangement of the boys living with Gordon during the trial would have led to him and his attorney using that against her in the future, arguing for Gordon to have permanent primary custody even after the trial ended ("the boys are settled in here now, it would be unfair to uproot them," yadda yadda yadda).

According to this article, the LAPD changed many policies and procedures after the Simpson trial illuminated certain problems.

RIP to George Martin. He added so much to the Beatles' music, and seemed like a humble individual despite his many accomplishments. 90 is good long while to have lived and loved what he was doing.

Such a talented cutie! Cat Ballou was the source of my crush as well. ;-)

There's an actual heated campaign in process for US State's Attorney for Cook County, and this is just the primary. Kim Foxx has wracked up a ton of endorsements in her quest to unseat Anita Alvarez, who assumed office in Dec. 2008, and who has come under fire for her handling of the Laquan McDonald case.
