  1. Maybe they’re ordering pizza for a post-coital snack.
  2. I love how she’s lamenting the man who got away while tightly surrounded by a dozen men (the musicians), shown mostly in nighttime shadow, instruments glistening in the dark, and after hours, when the supper club has closed. It’s as if they are circling as her mind is elsewhere, far, far away. The aching, vaguely desperate “last call” quality of the set-up is something Cukor no doubt knew well. The unused outtakes of the scene are quite different, and in them you can see the director working out the right tone. Cukor at his best. Bradley Cooper, who also directed the Gaga version (his directing debut), has a lot to live up to.
  3. Not in the trailer she isn’t. He’s the (dirty) blonde. As for me, I used to be brownette, but I dyed it back to “natural.”
  4. Mrs. Norman Maine is a brownette!!!
  5. "Bicycles on the lawn" was the big giveaway in that Dear Abby classic. Communists, obviously. Happy Birthday! С днем рождения!
  6. $50,000 in 14 months? OMG. That’s more than $100 a day. That’s more than the daily cost of a whole gram of meth, three liters of Ketel One, or 28 Big Macs. Addiction is expensive.
  7. The first recorded recipe for apple pie was written in 1381 in England. Given your wig, you should know that. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/07/apple-pie-isnt-really-american/
  8. Dinuguan is a Filipino stew made of pork meat, mostly offal (heart, liver, intestines), cooked in pig’s blood, vinegar and spices. And it is indeed offal/awful. The one time I tried to eat it, I made spit-up.
  9. Sean is excellent. I was cautious because, in my experience, I have always preferred deep tissue to Swedish, which is his method, but he was a real surprise. It turns out that, despite his name, Sean is Swedish -- born and raised there; being trained in Swedish modalities in the Mother Country is quite different from picking up the colloquial American method, which tends to just mean light strokes, often untrained. He uses long strokes, kneading, stretches and a sequence of other techniques, which always leave me feeling thoroughly relaxed. (I've been a half-dozen times.) Therapeutic, but HE included -- and at around the 45- or 50-minute mark, so that it becomes part of the overall relaxation: The massage continues on for another 10 or 15 minutes.
  10. You agree with that because you are stupid. A.) "the press" is not social media. B.) Hillary has been abused by the press for decades. Many of the male journalists who stand accused of sexual harassment were on the forefront of covering the presidential race between Hillary and Trump. Matt Lauer interviewed them in an official “commander-in-chief forum” for NBC. He notoriously peppered and interrupted Clinton with cold, aggressive, condescending questions hyper-focused on her emails, only to pitch softballs at Spanky and treat him with gentle collegiality a half-hour later. Mark Halperin and Charlie Rose set much of the televised political discourse on the race, interviewing other pundits, opining themselves and obsessing over the electoral play-by-play. Rose, after the election, took a tone similar Lauer’s with Clinton — talking down to her, interrupting her, portraying her as untrustworthy. Halperin was a harsh critic of Clinton, painting her as ruthless and corrupt, while going easy on Spanky, who actually is corrupt. Glenn Thrush, currently on leave from The New York Times because of sexual harassment allegations, covered Clinton’s 2008 campaign when he was at Newsday and continued to write about her over the next eight years for Politico. A pervasive theme of all of these men’s coverage of Clinton was that she was dishonest and unlikable. These recent harassment allegations suggest that perhaps the problem wasn’t that Clinton was untruthful or inherently hard to connect with, but that these particular men hold deep biases against women who seek power instead of sticking to acquiescent sex-object status. You know, Shill; sort of like you.
  11. @Corporate Shill was thrilled Roseanne was coming back to TV precisely because she is a MAGA conspiracy theory loon. "She can do whatever the hell she wants" SHill trilled in his OP post. No, she can't. She was responsible for the hiring of hundreds of workers for her show, and now they are all screwed by that kind of MAGA -- and libertarian -- insanity: http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-roseanne-crew-20180531-story.html
  12. Snap out of it, fool. "Liberal darlings" should get a pass. They make human mistakes, but they don't support a bigoted conman. Roseanne is a loud supporter of a racist president* and hurled a racist slur against an African American. Scr*w your holier-than-thou hypocrisy. You need to learn some humility.
  13. She’s still begging, via this tweet today: “I begged Ben Sherwood at ABC 2 let me apologize & make amends. I begged them not to cancel the show. I told them I was willing to do anything & asked 4 help in making things right.” Oh, and she said she thought Valerie Jarrett was white. Maybe that was the Ambien part.
  14. Plus, you’d have to be crazy to marry Tom Arnold.
  15. Since “the author” does not in fact talk about “how looks are not important” in the graph you quote, perhaps you should look into a good therapist. Or priest. Or ophthalmologist.
  16. This hits on just the reason that I’m happy the show has been cancelled. It was peddling the bullshit myth that Trumpism is fueled by economic anxiety. Roseanne’s tweet that brought it all down was symptomatic of raw, vulgar bigotry — Trumpism’s actual fuel.
  17. A bunch of the homos on the forum are homophobic. Self-loathing is real.
  18. @Corporate Shill is a war monger. He gets excited over the ‘manliness’ of it all.
  19. Sometimes the level of misogynist stupidity just goes off the charts. Please, get help.
  20. No, she has been saying this sh*t for years. You don’t pay attention, do you?
  21. Presumably that's a typo. But apparently Roseanne has been drunk-tweeting for years: https://www.vox.com/2018/5/29/17406014/roseanne-racism-abc-trump-twitter
