I have to admit I've never been much of a fan of her writing, but her blasts at Rump make me laugh like hell.

Don't care for either of Goldman's books, on Elvis nor the one on Lennon (Goldman tastes too much like sour grapes in both, IMO), but Parker gets no more than his just desserts in it. That he was a leech who stifled Elvis' possibilities for branching out career-wise, and probably was no small...

He'll appreciate the fact that he's getting more attention than Elvis this time around.

Very bad for the kidneys, and when you're reaching the age perimeter that suggests those 'Depends moments' may be getting more and more frequent probably best to stay away from it.

Right on! You'd be most welcome as a guest commentator on the thread I started on him on the Actors board. An incredibly talented and versatile man, and from what I've read, a true gentleman in real life as well. It kills me to this day that I never got to see him perform live. Had two chances...

You and I must think alike on at least several things; count me as another viewer who wasn't at all entranced by Sherlock...thought the show was a hot mess, and was not at all impressed by BC, whom I still regard as one of the most absurdly over-rated actors of the last twenty years. Your...

Absolutely--in fact, if it's an engrossing book, I find it very difficult not to visualize as I read. The downside is that it's extremely rare for me to see a film/television adaptation of a novel that comes satisfactorily close to what I've envisioned--two of the few that came close to having...

I can't help but be vulgar enough to wonder what she's doing with that hand that's out of camera range.

I wonder how many 'Americans' tend to forget that the continent they're living on doesn't look like that map of the USA floating on top of the sea, and that there actually are bits attached to the north and south of the thing...

One of the signal bands that sums up the Eighties: good dumb fun.

Actually, if it has a plot that will be something of a first for the franchise.

OMG. Please. They just need to stop this. Was the appalling Jim Carrey live-actioner not torture enough? And is there anything the Cumberbitch will not stoop to in his apparently never-ending whoring for attention these days? The fact that they keep pushing back the release date of this turkey...

Are there any realistic ones, lol?

Attention whore. I know this may draw me an enormous amount of flack, but as a 'second-wave' feminist I'm personally sick to death of seeing the appalling reality of rape being trivialized by this type of shit. No sympathy for her whatsoever.

Curiously enough, it appears Manson wouldn't have it any other way. He's stated in the past that he actually didn't want to be let out of jail, assuming he'd be the target of some other psycho who'd be seeking glory for being the one who killed Charles Manson. He has his followers inside, and is...

Brosnan has never been and never will be JB for me, but I'll re-watch this one for three reasons: 1.) Jonathan Pryce 2.) The fun of seeing Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer reunited 3.) Jonathan Pryce Pity he wasn't given a better film, as he made one of the best Bond villains of the...

Not one of these really needs to happen. Looking over the list, one sees either films that were mostly perfect enough in their own right that a remake can only be diminishing next to the original, or mediocrities that there can't be much reason to think a remake of will be any improvement. Then...

Every other film Batman after West owed something to his performance, whether they choose to admit it or not. He was also a lot of fun on Family Guy, and I admired the way he bowed to the inevitability of his identification with the Caped Crusader role with a good bit of grace and humor. R.I.P...

And then we could have heard the critics raving over her pitch-perfect handling of Great Ape accent...

He has a wonderful essay on the 'boy's papers' that were popular in England from the late 1800's into the era just prior to WWII. So Eric Blair could also delve into popular culture, Youth Division with a lot of good insight. Can't recall the title of the piece off the top of my head, but it's a...
