  1. Lord of the Flies and 1984 . . . I thought both were excessively overrated. I had to read both for high school and I think that's why I strayed from the classics for a while. I remember reading I Never Promised You a Rose Garden in high school and it made my brain hurt. I am stymied that it's considered a classic.
  2. Scheana looks frighteningly like a Kim Kardashian doppleganger in some of her PHO-tos (thank you, Tyra Banks). I love Flat Iron. There, I said it.
  3. I thought this was a good episode and did not see the judge's decision coming. Very, very disappointing. Agree with the other posters who said it would have made more sense if the case became a "he said/she said" as a lot of rape cases are. Clearly the guy who took the stand was a cocky little shit and I could see him lying about what really went down versus admitting that they never had Evie's consent or believed they were filming a video. I did love seeing Barba riled and Carisi has grown on me.
  4. I don't think they dragged the canvas back in because the inktestant was female. I think they did it to amp up the drama and because the inktestant told the canvas to fuck off. Was it necessary to bring him back? No, not really since the judges had already watched film of the interaction. I do think that if the canvases sign up for a free tattoo during biomech (or whatever) week, they should be told that is the exact type of tattoo they are getting. Period. If the judges aren't going to use how the inktestants handle their clients as part of the criteria for being Ink Master, then there is no point in production sending in difficult people to attempt to rile up the inktestants. Personally I couldn't care less about the drama. I just want to see the tattoos and I wish everyone would be judged on that and they would do away with the rival nonsense, the canvases that quit in a huff, etc.
  5. I personally think it's some straight up bullshit that Julia wasn't sent home. Telling your canvas to fuck off should eliminate the artist immediately. I didn't see Julia's canvas being any more difficult than some others we have seen in the past. I thought for sure she was toast when she was told by the judges they had watched every minute of her interaction with her canvas and what he said jived but what she said was purely revisionist crap. Major props to Don for telling Julia she's not the only one in the competition under stress and pressure. That's not being a dick, Julia, that's showing that you aren't the only one with issues. Must every artist at some point say "The other artists don't know what I can do!" Gee, I don't know . . . why don't you show everyone what you can do?
  6. Good Lord, I think too much about this mess but reading some earlier comments about the barf bag made me think about how they showed a pic of it last night. Both of them sounded like delusional teenagers, not over 30 adults who were both married to other people. Did these two ever have a conversation about whether or not they wanted to destroy two marriages and families? Did they ever have a serious conversation about what their lives together would be like? Not "opening a bar on the beach" or "making love every day" crap or even having a million babies but real conversations about where they would live, how they would live, if one or both would keep working, how Deano's son Jack fit into this, about the baby he was supposed to be adopting with Mary Jo, etc. Or how about returning to LA and taking time away from each other to be sure what they were doing? It seems zero real thought went into their actions. What I wouldn't give to have that shrink tell the both of them that Dean clearly married Tori for her name and (supposed) money and connections and Tori chose Dean because she couldn't handle having a nice guy like Charlie and was drawn to a jerk with an addiction who would ultimately cheat.
  7. I am sad and pathetic enough to remember that Deano Googled the pic for Tori. So apparently he didn't have it on his phone. But still doesn't answer who she was and why they were texting. Irrelevant I guess when they need to have sex 16 days in a row and Dean has Smores to make.
  8. Are we talking cooking meals or cooking meth? Charlie Sheen probably has the second option down.
  9. I had bronchitis and pneumonia at the same time once and was not hospitalized. Certainly not quarantined. Seeing how skinny she was last night, I think Dangerous Minds nailed it with anorexia.
  10. I forgot to mention that was I guffawing when Tori said she was disappointed in seeing that Dean was wearing a wedding ring when they met - - oh the sads, he's married. So was Tori! So crazy that she apparently overlooked that little fact.
  11. Oh good, I thought I was the only one going to hell in a handbasket for thinking this. He has definitely put on some weight in the last six months (while Tori continues to lose it). I'm sure the stress in that household is not helping at all. Exactly what I was thinking. Finn is young but I went to preschool when I was 3 and it was more about socializing and being around other kids the same age. And it was only mornings. Girl, you read my mind. I understand why she let her businesses go, although if she is the main breadwinner for her family it is irresponsible. She certainly could have jumpstarted her businesses by dumping Dean, polishing herself off and rebranding herself as a single parent. Tori has said for years that she worried that she would lose Dean the same way she got him. I don't think it was a huge surprise but I do think she expects for her friends to understand why she and Dean cheated on their respective spouses to be together. I don't think she realizes that cheating is cheating and it's all pretty much the same. I will say that I was absolutely floored when she admitted during the pre-show thing that she and Dean moved in together immediately, got pregnant immediately, then weren't pregnant and then immediately began trying again. These two barely knew each other and seemed gung ho on procreating together so that was a recipe for disaster from the very beginning. The only thing more galling was that after that, and after how Dean clearly acted like a spoiled child who couldn't get his way after she got pregnant with Liam, was that she had THREE MORE children with him. Speaking as someone who was cheated on by her (now ex) husband, I can say that no matter what the other woman looks like, you're probably going to think she's ugly because of what she's done with your partner. Consider Tori - - clearly not the most emotionally mature person. Dean had told her that she had no reason to worry about the woman he was texting with because he showed her a picture and reinforced her belief that because the texting woman wasn't super attractive in either of their opinions, she had nothing to worry about. I'm amazed that Tori (and her quack doctor) weren't asking more questions about WHO exactly this woman was/is and why Dean was texting with her. Was she a former coworker? Mutual friend? Another parent at school? The unanswered questions in this thing drive me nuts.
  12. I don't believe for a moment that Dean watched 90210. He was out of the age bracket for it and even if he did, he said he was doing activities that teen boys do - - he wasn't a teen any longer when the show premiered. So BS. He was interested in Tori because she's a Spelling, plain and simple. Funny how they acted like it was no big deal to cheat on their respective spouses but boy, it sure is a big deal now!
  13. So Jax and company manage to escape many a gunfight with nary a scratch and yet some two-bit hookers get the jump on them? Shit, they need to sign those hookers up for the club. "Abel's acting weird" = just another average day in Charming. Seriously, when hasn't Abel acted weird? Put that kid in a clown suit and I'll shit my pants. Gemma, if you're going to confess to jabbing a fork into your daughter in law's melon multiple times, it's best to make sure the door is closed. Especially when you think your son's cronies are waiting just outside to drag you away and off you. Happy and Rat telling Jax they were scared of Gemma was hilarious. She's frightening, sure, and she's a complete nutbag at this point but I really think they should be considered getting the hell away from the future serial killer that Jax spawned. Unser believing Jax' "I give you my word." HA HA HA!! Clearly the cancer packed up and moved to his brain. The fact that Bobby was driving by himself and did not notice the caravan of suspicious vehicles behind him and the black SUV with tinted out windows that drove past him took me out of the moment. Shouldn't every member of the MC assume that EVERYONE is out to harm them at this point? A caravan of suspicious vehicles should be like Jax taking off his cut and putting on gloves - - shit's about to get real. I was happy that the Sheriff wasn't present last night. I think everybody's going to die in this mess.
  14. Given that Deano is 6 years older than Tori, he was no longer a teen when 90210 premiered. Tori is so freaking skinny. Her shorter hair looks better but she needs to gain something like 20 pounds.
  15. I am still laughing over the notion that a "teenaged" Dean McDermott was crushing on Tori playing Donna on 90210. I'm calling a big BS on that.
  16. Lovecat, I found Columbine to be a very fast read because it was that engrossing and I couldn't put it down. According to Amazon, it clocks in at 442 pages so definitely shorter than And the Band Played On. Re: Ebola. So true.
  17. I am not conflicted either.
  18. No, they normally do the updates at the end of the last episodes. None tonight. Overall, a boring episode. Yawn.
  19. I have a book review site so depending on what books are chosen, I'd be interested!
  20. Out of everything in this episode - - because random pointless killing is just another day for SAMCRO and Gemma will clearly outlive freaking anything - - this is what pissed me off most about this episode. Other than the first season, Wendy never struck me as stupid. So no way in hell would she EVER still love Jax in any way, shape or form outside of some benign "love" because he's Abel's father. Seriously? First Tara and now Wendy? Does Jax have an amazing technicolor penis to go with his White Sneakers of Truth ? Because I don't get it. Wendy should just take Thomas and the candidate for Future Serial Killers of America and get the hell outta Dodge. Not like Jax would even notice - - he's too busy shuffling all over Stockton and shooting people for kicks. Speaking of - - the guy with the Impala who took out some of the Grim Bastards . . . how long has that car been parked out on that street? It took THAT long to find it? Shaggy and Scooby could have sniffed it out faster.
  21. Please don't buy the books - - borrow them from the library. Don't line EG's pockets any more than they have been.
  22. I've read a handful of books on the Lindbergh kidnapping and I've never believed that Hauptman was involved. Regardless, I do think there were far too many questions and certainly reasonable doubt to justify the death penalty. Oy. This makes my brain hurt. How can they NOT know? I don't know of a good book on the Standford White case but if you enjoy that time period, I would recommend reading "Cast of Killers" by Sidney Kirkpatrick - - all about the 1922 murder of director William Desmond Taylor. And author William Mann came out with a book on the case today too - - "Tinsletown." I'll be buying that!
  23. So true. It really was incredible how many half truths and flat out falsehoods were reported to the media and by the media as fact and accepted as such for years. I've heard the same thing with regard to events like shark attacks - - shark attacks haven't necessarily been on the rise but when it's a slow news summer, the media will bust out coverage a la Summer of the Shark. And the public guzzles it down like poisoned Kool Aid.
  24. He always has, Persnickety. Seems the VPR was BH's lead in the first season and then things were flipped up last season with BH leading in. Very surprised that's changed although it does give us a few months more of Lisa Vanderpump's fabulousness. I can't stand Kristen and yet I'm oddly fascinated by her. She always looks like she was just pulled from the tumble dry cycle of my dryer. From day one I've always been stymied that the Toms (Flat Iron and Schwartz) chose gals that look so sketchy. Katie is okay, I guess, except for that crazy hair last season. But Flat Iron flat irons his hair, waxes his forehead and puts on concealer - - shouldn't he be with someone who buys more than cigarettes and Red Bull? I am also still snorting over the idea that Kristen was a model. Maybe for the cover of Vogue Carrie Bradshaw made about being single and fabulous. He he.
