I can think of many other charities that are far more deserving of this level of attention and money. As far as I'm concerned, the Met gala has turned into Halloween for billionaires. I haven't given them much attention in a very long time.

He and his wife are show runners and producers. I think it's a miracle we got what we got. I did love seeing him cup his junk, but who does that anymore? Just goes to show you can't please everyone. I enjoyed the other seasons, but I prefer when the leading ladies are friends, and I'm finding many more jokes this season that actually make me laugh out loud. Loved all the stuff with Cherry Jones and Leslie Bibb. The four were fabulous together.

Wow, was I surprised to see Paul W. Downs do a nude scene in last week's episode. It's too bad the editing was way too fast. The word bedbug almost gave us a full frontal. The boy sure looks good naked on a white bed. Great ass. I think this last season is among the best in the series.

How can anyone tell anything about those photos when they are so small? I don't like rentmen for that reason. Their user-interface is so 1990's.

I totally agree with this. Whoever did his hair and makeup was on crack.

Sadly, there appears to be no legal difference in NYC. It mostly comes down to what a provider prefers. My former partner accepted a lot of cash payments for his hair services, and many thought he was very expensive. He did not enjoy dealing with the money exchange. He did not want to endure that action between himself and his customer. Even when he worked out of our home, he hired someone to handle the customers.

It was nothing like what I expected. Considering it began in a basement of a Gristedes, imagine watching it with the smell of raw meat in the air. Their calling it a jukebox musical, and those do have a history of being nominated. I think Jersey Boys won a Tony. There were only 6 new musicals this past season. I think the lowest in a very long time. Not many producers around willing to take the risk these days. As far as I'm concerned, all the award shows are corrupt. Nothing more than a fancy marketing scheme. But I'm a cynical old gay man.

It's a little too feminine for me.

I've seen a few behind the scenes videos. They relied on CGI. I thought it was masterfully used.

Please tell me, where in the world can you find that?

I think I agree with that. True love can be a seriously mature subject. Crazy lust is no easier to teach. The late 1700's was a crazy time to live and have sex. The idea of a "great love story" has changed dramatically.

If you didn't see the movie, the jokes might go over your head. It also helps if you are a Celine Dion fan. Not only am I a longtime Celine fan, I loved the movie. I think James Cameron is a genius.

I guess a part of me would love to share the details of my 20-years of suffering with American health care. You damn right, it's emotional. I would love to warn others what can and does happen. You can have a million+ in the bank one day, and the next day it's gone. I would love to get therapy to help me cope, except I can't afford it. I can't even afford a gym membership. Cardio does help with stress. I also don't want to burden strangers with all the boring details and my very personal trauma. I remember what the Affordable Care Act did for me. Most importantly, it reduced my monthly insurance payment by almost $300. I was fortunate, I did not lose all of my doctors. Seeing the ugly changes to the ACA stirs up ptsd. That's why I felt the need to share the article.

Talk to any doctor and ask him or her what they think about health insurance companies in America controlling our health care.

I didn't realize that Bowen Yang is a producer on this show. Here is what happened at the show on the day the Tony nominations were announced.

I've been watching some movie critiques on YouTube. Social Media did not love this film. There are a few comments that align with my thoughts and impressions. The movie is striking to watch. The artists and creators who created this dark world did a fantastic job. The lighting, the set design, the clothing, the fabrics, the color palate, the cinematography; all spellbinding. Much to my surprise, Margot Robbie is miscast. Not only does she look too old for the part, she is too old. I did not realize that the Heathcliff in the book is described as darker skinned, and one production cast him as Black. I did not care that Jacob Elordi is white, but I can understand why the book lovers were opinionated about his being cast. The actors playing the younger parts were terrific. I was pleased to see Owen Cooper. Alison Oliver, from Saltburn, was terrific as Isabella. Hong Chau was terrific as Nelly. Martin Clunes was great as Cathy's father.

So many important realities of life are political. I'm sorry this board chooses to shut down important discussions that are vital to an older gay man. But I understand what can happen when moderation is an issue. It is not easy or enjoyable to moderate political discussion. I wish to thank everyone who expressed kindness. The situation happened a long time ago, and time has a way of dulling the pain. If I knew then what I know now, I would have behaved differently. Of course, things could be much worse. I could be homeless, or have alzheimer's. I still own my apartment, I survive on Medicare, and I receive Social Security. Trouble is, these things can always change. It is never good to take any good thing for granted.

When it comes to money, there is no other way. So many people do not know how to talk about money, or self-worth, especially young, inexperienced people. It is something that needs to be learned, especially if you're a freelancer. My former partner traveled the world with celebrity clients. Not only did those lucrative jobs have a contract, my partner and the celebrity had what they call a "rider." The rider spells out everything related to travel "needs." Simple, often direct language, with no stone unturned. When it comes to money and financial expectations, guessing games are not permitted. A self-employed individual must set the road blocks, the boundaries, and the expectations. The bank paying for the service can then decide if the person-for-hire is worth the expense. If you don't learn how to behave like this, you risk becoming known as unprofessional. Of course, if you struggle with talking about money or your self-worth, and putting those words to paper, then you're likely to fail. Without the right tools of success, you risk encountering a lot of unanswered questions, enduring false assumptions, and feeling bad about yourself, the client, and the entire situation. The only way to win in any transaction, both parties need to get what makes them happy. There's no point in obfuscating. Be honest and clear. Once you get all details out of the way, you can get the job done, and possibly have fun.

Not at all. Emerald Fennell's 2026 version just hit HBO. Hard to believe it grossed $241.7 million worldwide against an $80 million budget. Considering the movie is mostly about mad love and mad lust, there is no nudity. Not even an ass crack. Makes no sense to me. Although I have to say, I don't think nudity would have saved this story, but it would have been fun to see Jacob Elordi do full frontal. This was the perfect vehicle for it. Considering the story takes place in 1790's, Elordi could have had a full bloom of pubic hair, and both actors could have smelled to high heaven.

Strange movie. Did not enjoy the story. Never read the book. At times, I felt like I was watching Frankenstein. Visually, it is interesting, but mostly dark. It could have been a vampire movie without blood. In many ways it is a vampire movie.

I remember watching this series and thinking I liked it. I did not know White had anything to do with it, yet he was a character whose performance I enjoyed. What can I say? I only know Jennifer Tilly from Bullets Over Broadway, one of my favorite films. I also know her from poker. She deserves a fabulous juicy part in something.

I haven't seen any great reviews. Mark Kermode says it's a talented cast in search of a good story. Meryl Streep's smug, my-shit-don't-stink face is everywhere. She seems to be over-acting at every turn on this one. So many people seemed hyped for a sequel. I think getting the OG cast together was a win-win no matter what. Where else can the Sex In The City crowd go?

I don't see how this ends well. Until universal coverage becomes the law of the land, many, many people are going to suffer like never before. I lost my life savings to the cost of caring for my sick parents. My dad had a stroke and my mother had cancer. No one should go bankrupt over the cost of healthcare. I do agree with those who say this is immoral. Sadly, so few in America agree with me. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/business/obamacare-enrollment-decline.html

So it looks like they just hired Laura Dern and Jennifer Tilly. I find both actresses talented and interesting, so maybe this is turning into a positive.

Just saw Ep 2. Wasn't expecting any of that.
