Luke Macfarlane confirms that he's signed on to do another Christmas movie with the Hallmark Channel: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/luke-macfarlane-platonic-bros-barbie-interview-1235526625/

Taylor Swift? I assume her membership is based on musical contributions to some film project, having seen her "acting" in Valentine's Day...

I think some of his major roles have enough edge to them that villainy should be within his range. Certainly Mad Max: Fury Road and Renfield demonstrate that he can do batshit crazy well if they want to go the mad scientist route with Luthor rather than corrupt tycoon. But agreed, just based on looks/type Hoult is no one's idea of Superman, whereas Corenswet might convince people with vision defects that Cavill remained in the role using de-aging VFX.

Yeah. Really rough for mass media entertainment in general, but when I consider just the effect on Warner Bros' upcoming promotions the idea makes me laugh and clap.

Miller must have picked up a whole bunch of tiki idols while they were breaking into people's homes in Hawaii!

Presumably a ghost could ride the spare seat of a tandem bike, but a living person would have to be powering it.

Wasn't there some craze for the horse head masks among the younger folk back in the mid-2010s?

And hotter, don't forget that.

I was unaware of all this, but now I've gone from vague dislike of the two to not being willing to use a fire extinguisher if either should be burning to death in front of me.

Honestly, I think Wonder Woman is the only DC movie in the last 15 years that could have delivered on that.

If it doesn't open to box office numbers the WB execs hope for, will they threaten that Miller will break into our homes and assault us unless we buy tickets?

I remember Dad letting me have a sip of his Budweiser when I was a little kid, which was quite effective at eliminating any desire I might have had to drink alcohol during my most of my teen years. It took a college trip to the French Quarter to overcome that aversion.

My understanding from friends who like hard liquor far more than I is that you can run cheap vodka through a Brita or similar water filter several times and get smoothness typical of the top shelf brands. Of course I doubt the water filtration systems will advertise that fact!

I blame the damn screaming pig from that Geico commercial.

Maybe he just couldn't figure out whom to step away from to avoid suspicion with that many LGBTQ people in the room? He's used to it just being one personal assistant or somesuch and having an attention-hungry D-list starlet ready at his side to clutch. This time it was half the attendees and his date was apparently CJ Uzomah.

I assumed that was the case, since showering and re-applying would reset the clock.

While I find that the deodorants I've tried generally work well enough day of use (If I get sweaty enough to stink I'm clearly in need of another shower anyway), claims of 48 or 72 hour protection make me wonder if they're being used by people who sit motionless in cold environments for days at a time.

I saw a recent trailer or presentation that was very Michael Keaton heavy and featured Miller playing both the version of his character from Justice League and one who is apparently one of Adam Sandler's developmentally disabled man-child characters. I suppose Warner Brothers hopes that will draw in the people who'd like cringeworthy comedy mixed in with their dystopian apocalypse movies. HARD PASS

I would prefer that babies with full diapers stay as far away from me as whatever studio that commercial is being filmed in.

The actress is pretty enough that's no mystery to me. Missy's also pleasant and generally well-meaning, without the minefield of dark secrets that everyone else seems to have. I think Missy and Gus seem to work reasonably well in a sanitized sort of way. Though the inlaws situation is awful enough to rule him out without the red flag of his bailing at the canceled wedding and making it look like he also blamed Missy for his grown-ass sister's decision. Cash is so immature and impulse-driven it'd be like adopting an oversized kid rather than becoming a couple with an equal partner. With him Missy keeps the same in-laws she already knows and loves, but she's part of the McMurray Family either way, so I don't see that she has much to gain. Tucker being the villain behind everyone's financial woes is just ridiculous. I don't see how someone who runs a dinky pawn shop has so much power over this whole town (especially when the mayor is a good friend of the family he's always causing trouble for), or apparently the whole Colorado rodeo circuit. And his claim that Cash had ruined his reputation was laughable—with whom? The people who bet on one rodeo event and won money from him? Tuff's sudden overpowering desire to go touring with Janine came out of left field, though I guess it could work if you view it as wanting to get away from the constant crises and drama at home. Is the rest of the band just waiting around for him to make this decision, or would they have to form a new one? All I can say is they better not have a storyline where Janine gets him drunk on the road and gets pregnant, or I will drop this show like a piece of lava.

Yeah, I saw that one for the first time today and wondered if he was going to be dipping crackers into the tub he was bathing in. That association in my mind isn't exactly making me eager to buy Philadelphia cream cheese, advertising agency!

Is Phil Laak (the Unabomber) one of the featured players in the commercials? I have it on good authority that he's a real sweetheart despite his style choices mirroring those of a domestic terrorist.

Back in the 90s one of my roommates' cats would grab a corn chip out of your hand on its way from the bag to your mouth.

My cats started out as alley kittens behind my apartment building, and being used to foraging in garbage dumpsters, would eat anything—including the power cord to my laptop. But thanks to a bladder sediment issue I had to switch them to prescription Hills Science Diet years ago and they now turn their noses up at even steak and lunchmeats if I offer them treats from my own plate. Only barbecued pork and canned tuna seem to have kept their allure. (I guess it stands to reason; their swanky kibble costs more per pound than the meat I buy for myself at the grocery store!)

I fill out a lot of marketing surveys online and am tempted to respond as if my two cats are 10-year-old children just to see how it reacts if I indicate that I feed them prescription cat chow as a staple.
