Two and a half hours later and I’m here to tell you it’s a gorgeous film. I liked it a lot, but it is not a translation from book to screen. It is its own thing, sharing more with the Karlov movie than the novel. Phenomenal cast. Shocking at times. No, I didn’t find Victor or the monster sexy. YMMV

If I did Monday through Friday, I could do

- Greater Chicago Food Depository
- Midwest Access
- Doctors Without Borders
- The Anti-Cruelty Society (where I got my last dog, Lucy)
- Viewers' Choice

Whadda y'all think?

The biggest gift. The best gift.

But doesn’t he need a Tammy Faye? Who’s this creep’s ride or die? (BTW, I did my absolute best to insulate my kids from this clown show. And that he was included in the last season of LDaR had me puking.)

Me, too. We must do better. Three years is a long time, and a lot of damage can happen. Frankly, I don’t know how we go back to you or anyone else in good faith and claim that this disaster will never happen again. ATM, we don’t have the ability for that sort of national introspection.

We are clowns on the world stage but are too foolish to see it. We’ve soiled ourselves and continue to pretend the stains and stink do not exist. In the end, all we have are our principles, and America has eschewed even paying lip service to those for faithlessness and rank corruption.

We need to strike his name from everything when he is gone. The family name should be made an albatross, a stigma, a stench no one wants to be even distantly associated with.
