yes, Dane is still working and is still as handsome and sexy as he ever was.  I think even better.  I have known him for over 10yrs.  

I think Colin wanted to sit like this :-)
(Gay-Film buffs will know what movie this still is from)

She was 87, she was 87.

As noted before Robbie GK the barista has a more cut physique than any of the actors playing hockey pros. 
 

IDK, I think Christiana Chang did a great job as the mom. Sorry, I don’t picture Cho doing it any better.

I can't take her seriously… There was another one in which she comments on the hotel room scene in episode five and she doesn't even mention my former roommate's dresser dominating the scene from the corner of the room.

Looks like I’m going to have to signup for MGM+. Really stoked that they’re bringing T.J. English’s 1990 true crime book The Westies.. on the Irish Mob in NYC’s Hell’s Kitchen to a streaming series. It premiers July 12, has J.K. Simmons as the mob lead and thinking back to when I read the book back in the mid-90s, it’s gonna be brutal. 
 
 

I was hoping Titus Welliver (Bosch) was the star, but I can see from the trailer he is not.

The reviews are good but I must say that I really did not enjoy the movie.  It’s too sad for me to be enjoyed.  The movie only showed one doppelgänger and not the other.  I was waiting for an epic battle to defeat this awful curse but of course that didn’t happen.  The ending was not satisfying.  The two looked so sad 

I don't think it works as a horror movie or as a morality tale. The idea of male intimacy being initiated through violence is overdone. Both "couples" have to throw rocks at each other as foreplay. It's hard to feel sympathy for Naim since he is a stalker and a snitch. 
Everyone in the movie is depicted as a one dimensional monster. The three young men are assholes, their families are shitty, and the religious figures are evil. We really don't need a supernatural force, they all seem perfectly capable of inflicting misery on each other without it. 
So what was the point?

I watch Dan Murell's movie reviews on YouTube. He recently did a Top 10 list for the first half of 2026, and he included Leviticus. I may have to take a look.

I loved it.

Watched the trailer. Scared me to death.

That's exactly right. It can get complicated quite quickly. Colin was most confused when Ray was being kind to him. Like when he grabbed the hot pot and burned his hands (which I don't understand why he did), and Ray lovingly tried to tend to his burned hand. And Colin was utterly confused when he returned from his motorcycle ride and was met with compassion and tenderness. 
I don't understand enough about submissive relationships to know what was accurate and what was Hollywood. So that makes the ending harder for me to figure out. And at the very end, when Colin begins a new relationship. He sets limits before it begins. 
Learned a lot from the movie. But again, I have no idea what was authentic and what was movie story telling. 

Wet Wipes and Doxy don't do shit against C. diff and trust me you do not want that one. Cedars quarantined me for three nights, and I don't have immune issues.  Body to body contact is a risky game, biology can be cunty.

Everything I've ever heard about him makes him sound like one of the greats.

I thought "Young Mungo" was good; grim depiction of Glasgow after the shipbuilding ended and Thatcherism arrived but sweet love story too

You hit it perfectly there.  When you have every reason to expect a deep makeout session and your tongue gets blocked right away, it's worse than disappointment it's treachery.
 

Yes, John Boy!  
IMO Richard Thomas and Julia Garner should each win an Emmy.
Also liked Nathan's bible beater sidekick Annalise.  Great actress, Jane Mcneill.
 

 

I'm not sure how I feel either, just watched the last episode last night. Too early for any spoilers, but wow, SO much happening...I had so many theories about how it might end and pretty much scored a zero. I've not watched the retrospective 'making of' yet, probably tonight.
OMG - that was John-Boy Walton as Wendy's father?  I totally did not recognize him.  Yes, he was great.

Fun Home, a critically acclaimed graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel, is one of those books I bought thinking
 "I ought to read that."                                                                                                                                         
 
It sat on the shelf way too long.   
Anyway, I started yesterday.  I'm half way through it.   Clever and funny, but also sad.  A lot of interesting literary references.

 
Spoiler.   
I'm debating what to think about the father, his darker side.

Wow, it’s by Douglas Stuart, missed that he had a new book out. His first book Shuggie Bain was great. Thanks for the tip!
