Manhattan

A very entertaining movie with good performances. Don't look too deeply into the script and its meaning and you'll enjoy it. The director overworks metaphors and symbolism and loses the thread, but it's still fun.

If you use your notoriety as a performer to promote your views on gender, neurodivergence, vegetarianism, Palestine, and Christianity to the public, then I think it's reasonable for a member of the public to include all of that in their critique of you as a performer.

If you can get past a bunch of 30 something's playing college kids, it's an enjoyable watch. I don't remember seeing anything shocking or repulsive. I think it's worth watching just for Holmes' performance as Carmen's roommate Hailee. She's funny,

It kills me when people add a useless comment instead of doing a simple search for information. Jay was described in this thread a month ago.

Chase from Paw Patrol is probably too young to work as a masseur. Sad, because he's cuter than the guy in the photo.

Ugh. Isabella Ramsey. They are non-binary so we all have to pretend that they are great on the show. Truth is - she's neither non-binary (that's not a real thing) nor is she an actress. The universe created a woman with no talent for acting. Science fiction created a non-binary hero. Ugh.

Comfort TV. Nothing challenging, objectionable or particularly funny. If you in the target demographic you will recognize attitudes and tropes of our times such as the presence of a guitar as an intolerable intrusion. The acting is what you'd expect - with Domingo and Calvini at the lower edge of the spectrum and Kerri Kenney-Silver at the top. I preferred Tina Fey's writing and productions when they were offensive and very funny. After apologizing for 30 Rock's treatment of race, she's become a kinder, gentler and less interesting presence in the industry.

funjoe - you answered your own question about Liam on May 6! "I thought to give a try Liam. My Exp: Avg built body. Chinese guy. Around lower 30 I thought . Massage ok, may be good side. I would not complain at all. but not like wow"

I had a similar experience with Liam, who is a fairly cute Asian guy in his early twenties. The massage was okay and he was eager to please, but the overall effect was meh. Same treatment at the end, "please tip 100%."

Was this Jason at Sunny Boy years ago and W Men after that?

Friends won the Emmy in 2002, so you are in the correct century!

Name a successful American TV comedy series from the 21st century that you managed to never watch - because you KNEW you'd hate it. Mine - The Big Bang Theory

"And the world heaves a collective sigh of relief."

Does Alvin offer a gluten-free option?

It's a tribute, not a documentary. It's entertaining, but nothing is revealed about Liza that we didn't already know.

As a native New Yorker, I have to say that Mikey Madison did not get any kind of Brooklyn accent "pitch perfect". In fact it evoked a lot of laughter in the Brooklyn theater where I saw it. Trained for a month on pole dancing? Why? She danced exactly the way most young women do at any event where men are present. Hearing "how the soup was made" makes me wonder how much better the movie would have been if they had spent some time working on the acting or directing.

I had an appointment with Jay at Batman Spa last week. He was very polite, gave a really great massage, and we both seemed to enjoy all aspects from beginning to end. He does give one of the strongest massages around There was no upsell. No negotiation. He gave great service and I tipped accordingly. As for his looks, I'd say he's a regular looking guy with a nice body. Not a model. Probably in his early to mid thirties. His hair is a really bad orange blond which looks terrible on him. And he could use a visit to a dermatologist. If the right guy meets him and gives him a makeover, he could be handsome.

I'm always cautious about asking for a masseuse.

Fair enough, but I'm skeptical when someone's first post on the forum is a negative comment - particularly one telling people to be "cautious" of a provider based on an annoying phone exchange.

Wow. That massage did wonders for your creative writing skills. I hope you tipped well.

Mike White must be playing with the idea of vagina dentata. Aimee Lou Woods, Charlotte Le Bon and Parker Posey all have absolutely terrifying mouths. I stopped watching after episode 2. I like entertaining trash and I can tolerate bad acting and accents, but there's no excuse for bad (or nonexistent) orthodonture.

Interesting story. Of what should we be cautious? Dumb jokes? Sounds like he knows you and rejected you. Move on.

Successful Broadway shows have a very nice profit margin and big name stars are generously compensated for working 24 hours per week (although most don't play all 8 performances). Denzel + The Shubert Organization? I'd rather give $500 and three hours of my time to a worthy charity. Or at least to a worthy masseur.

I have to disagree. The customer is the person who acted poorly in this scenario.

The only thing I ended up wondering is why you would take the time to link to another user's posts? You may think he's negative, but who cares? Pointing at a member's quirks and trying to get others to join in is a pretty crummy way to use this forum.
