I don’t think there’s anything stopping New York State from prosecuting Santos, and if I were Letitia James I would be seriously considering it.

A Biggest Loser trainer?

Alec Guinness as Obi Wan Kenobi telling Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker “you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

I remember watching him in Oz in the 90s and thinking “wow, he looks the same as in Ghostbuster.” Then he showed up a few years ago in Grace and Frankie looking the same!

I really enjoyed the new one, after doing a reread of the earlier ones. Hopefully we don’t have to wait another two years for the next one.

That’s a really sweet moment when Angela mentions Ingrid Bergman and meeting Pia during the making of Gaslight.

Was it in Blithe Spirit? I saw the Broadway production, and she certainly deserved her Tony.

That’s an odd stance to take, considering Mary re-homed her cat because her boyfriend (Dr. Jeff), who is never shown at Mary’s condo, was allergic. Of course Libby is much better off with Estelle.

He has the confidence of a man who believes a beautiful woman is into him for his looks and charming personality.

A frame from the comic strip Mary Worth featuring Wilbur Weston and Fabiana frolicking on the nonexistent beach in Bogota. Both are wearing minuscule bathing suits.

Why are the color ones even more disturbing than the black and white ones?

To borrow from Dorothy Parker, this isn’t a book to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.

I read about 2/3rds of it and thought “why am I torturing myself with this?“

I love this one especially.

I know the Prehistoric Man from On The Town is supposed to look like Jules Munshin, but to me he sure looks like Victor Mature.

Dorothy: Honey, how's your back?
Blanche: Terrible.
Sophia: What did the doctor say?
Blanche: Well, after saying I am the most spectacular specimen of the female anatomy he has seen since Miss
Julie Newmar, he said I have a back problem.
Dorothy: Thank God you went to a specialist.

That’s fast! I follow you for your legal analysis, but I also really enjoy your running posts. I am also a fan of Tracksmith running clothes.

It’s a minor point in a much bigger story, but he’s telling them to call up the NG and (as things stand now with the shutdown), they won’t get paid.
