“But muh covaids!”
I thought the Disney sycophants had finally moved on from that excuse.


Are we really pretending Barbenheimer (brilliant marketing BTW drove that) isn't the exception these days?

They need to finish the PBS Victoria series and just roll from there...Did Albert's giant dome work ?


Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes were so good as Albert and Victoria. I'm still pissed about where they ended that one. It was my understanding that Daisy Goodwin wanted to continue it but with the cast moving on to other projects and such it wasn't possible.

Has anyone seen the original set in Italy with Scott Glenn as John Creasy?


I did a few years ago. It was decent (there's more folks in it than you think) but I thought it kind of coped out on the ending. I can't help but compare it to the Tony Scott adaptation which I prefer.
I really loved the movie with Denzel and Dakota Fanning, so I'm admittedly hesitant to watch. Good to hear it may end up being good though.
Could be good. Post-Victoria you have:

- Edward VII modernizing their Navy, dying during a Constitutional crisis.

- The name change to Windsor due to anti-German sentiment.

- Edward’s abdication/Wallis Simpson

- Elizabeth’s Dad and the connection to his cousin Tsar Nicholas II (Romanov)

- Elizabeth II’s Dad (who fought during WWI) and World War II

Nah. It’s called personal responsibility for his behavior. And stop pretending like he’s sitting in jail somewhere.

It wasn’t just sleeping with film students of consenting age. Doing things like removing the modesty guard during sex scenes with women is an issue.
I’ve never been banned but I pretty well stick to some pretty non-political, niche forums.
Eh. It was more than just banging his students. He was doing some rightfully creepy shite.

quote:

Franco has also attracted attention for controversial behavior on social media. In 2014, he used Instagram to ask a 17-year-old British girl he’d met outside a New York theater if she had a boyfriend and whether she was 18. Even after learning her age, he asked for the name of her hotel and if he should rent a room.


quote:

Katie Ryan, who met Franco at Playhouse West and took several classes at Studio 4, said the actor “would always make everybody think there were possible roles on the table if we were to perform sexual acts or take off our shirts" in his projects.

She said that for years, she received mass email requests from Franco to audition for roles playing "a prostitute or a hooker."


quote:

In 2015, Franco asked Tither-Kaplan to play a prostitute in another of his projects, the feature film “The Long Home,” with a cast that included him, Josh Hutcherson, Courtney Love and Timothy Hutton.

The part required her to perform nude, and she agreed because she considered it a big break. In fact, she signed nudity agreements for each of the films she made with Franco.

But one day on set in May 2015, a producer approached her and other women to ask if they wanted to film a “bonus scene” of an orgy. In it, Tither-Kaplan appeared fully nude, she said. A handful of other women were selected to appear with Franco, who simulated performing oral sex on each of them, Tither-Kaplan said. But in each case, she said he removed a clear plastic guard that covered their vaginas — and continued to simulate the sex act with no protection.


Good on him that he recognizes that his behavior was shitty and he’s remorseful. But, he brought it on himself.

I don’t know anyone who realistically wants this. It’s a terrible idea.

Because we haven't had this discussion here before. :lol:
Looks like the more severe stuff is gonna skirt below us, thankfully. Had a rough round last night with some wind damage and flash flooding in the area.

Only a Tennessee fan would suggest women’s basketball is comparable to men’s. I don’t even need to read your word salad further.

Yep. Handling future FIL/MIL estate (and older with experience as well).

He would be "intestate" but if you need help, ask Chicken to send my current email and will do what I can. Some thoughts, just not the conversation for here and my old email may no longer work.


Thanks, Cheese. We have a family-friend/lawyer looking into it (via my fiancé) and seeing if we can do anything proactively. I appreciate the offer and will reach out if I need it. :cheers:

You’d think this, but too often things go sideways and it splits families apart.


This is true. Can also be true is there's adult grandchildren involved as well (I'm seeing this with my Grandmother right now). She's begun giving things away because one of my cousins has openly "suggested" that she receive my Grandmother's house and other items that she could potentially sell off even though in her will the house is to be divided up between the grandchildren (there are three of us at this point).

I tell her all of the time she needs to make sure that will is good and updated because there's almost certainly going to be some underhanded shite go down. And my Uncle, who's the executor, has his own issues that doesn't lead me to believe it'll be handled well.
My Dad refuses to do any of that (funeral planning as well) when we just went through the shite with my Mom 5 years ago when she passed. All I know is he has life insurance and he wants to be buried with my Mom. That’s it.

Thankfully it’s just me at this point so I won’t have siblings to deal with. But it sucks.

Do they realize what an insufferable Gen Z bitch Ava is? Is it on purpose?


That’s pretty much the bit between her and Debra.

So far enjoyed it. Ava did crack me up at being disgusted over the sex worker being a magician. When she pulls the blanket up over her tits when he starts to show her a trick, I was dying.

Great Mayor of Las Vegas appearance too.
