DRW50

Now that Theon is gone and got a decent sendoff, all I really want to know now is whether Davos will have a decent finish (I have no idea if his wife and sons are still alive or not). The Dragonstone group, long gone Catelyn, seasons 1-4 Sansa (who apparently did not have meaning as she had not been raped) and Theon were always the heart of the show for me. I would like to see at least one of them end on good terms.

So The Hound is dead now, along with all the caca about how he is Arya's ideal father and so special and wonderful? About 5 years too late, but oh well. Best of luck to the actor, anyway...

I had no idea she was even ill. I loved her work as Norma - so much of the show's style and emotional underpinnings came from her work. It was criminally underrated work and so true to the noir spirit that the best of Peaks exuded. My two favorite Norma scenes, aside from her reunion with Ed, were when she disowned her mother, and her car scene with Ed in FWWM, where you feel like you were there with them, enjoying that stolen moment. (it's about 2 minutes and 50 seconds in)

I'm so sorry to hear of his loss. I guess it must have been sudden.

Both shows are anti-gay, to the point where Sabrina encourages viewers to laugh at victims of child abuse if they are gay. I'm tired of self-hating gay men running TV shows. I think they are scum. And I will never read Archie Comics again after they encouraged a show that is so racist and homophobic. I'll never forget seeing Betty Cooper drug and try to murder a black man as viewers cheered "girl power."

How do you feel about it?

I'm glad you are still posting about the show. I have a really hard time sitting through it - I haven't in months. The Victoria and Jacob stories just upset me, especially Liv blackmailing an abuse victim for cash. @I Am A Swede you're a big Emma Thompson fan right? She's hosting SNL tomorrow night. Their videos go up on Youtube. I don't know if it will be geoblocked for you. They also have shorter versions on their Twitter. Not sure if that is geoblocked. She has two promos up on there already. Also I don't know if you are a Freddie Jones fan but this is a 1974 half-hour play he appeared in that was put up yesterday. (I should warn there is some anti-gay and racist language). It also has the actor who played Trevor Thatcher, NYE Estates manager of 1978, looking very dashing in a poignant role.

And Trump is going around trying to get John Kerry prosecuted. This is insane. And incredibly dangerous. Yet no one cares.

I mean the man is getting paid big money to go around and tell us Trump is a liar and sucks the life out of people. No kidding. Everyone here has been saying that for 4 years. Where are our checks?

I mostly associate Castro and his brother with the hope that someday we will win anything in Texas, which I don't see coming anytime soon. I haven't followed Yang much but his supporters give me Bernie bro vibes.

I could say so much (like how Trump is doing all he can to take us to war with Iran and yet half the country is numbed by him and the other half blindly support him, so no one even really cares anymore) but instead I will just say how disgusted I am that Jim Comey, after ruining our future for self-preservation, gets a [!@#$%^&*] town hall on CNN. This man is the epitome of how privilege means zero consequences. And of why I never, ever, ever go near cable news.

Those questions were so easy. I would've cleaned up. Love that they mentioned the secret diary.

I wasn't watching SNL on a regular basis for most of his run - when I did I just remembered him smirking and saying "Really?" over and over, which was the type of frat boy flipness that drove me away from the show (he's not that bad when I look back but it annoyed me at the time). I don't watch his show that often but when I do he offers some of the few critiques of Trump or Dems that I can accept in late night comedy or cable comedy - most of the others are trying too hard with the jokes, smirking at their own cleverness, or just seem phony. I feel like he's grown up a lot in recent years, leaving the very insulated and privileged bubble that is Lorne Michaels and SNL. John Mulaney said recently that Trump has made him realize the biggest lessons he learned about political comedy at SNL - that you can find the humanity in everyone - aren't true. I imagine that is also the case with Seth. Still, he isn't a bare knuckle brawler, and he, like all the others at SNL, clearly adored her father. He would have given her a chance. She gets so very many free passes and chances because of the love that many in the media felt for her father, and she just burns those bridges every single time.

I have to laugh at the pouting and fuming from boo hoo baby Jr over a Republican not towing the McConnell line. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/08/senate-subpoenas-donald-trump-jr-1312707 Speaking of unappealing and untalented oxygen thieves who only get support because of their last name, Meghan McCain is on a pout fest and her scumbag husband is on an unhinged rant because Seth Meyers didn't kiss her ass. https://www.gq.com/story/meghan-mccains-husband-cuck I saw someone going on about how upset Johnny Carson would have been. Yes, let's all talk about gentle Johnny Carson. He would have wiped the floor with her...when her makeup artist was done, anyway.

I love those photos of Sheryl and Ray. I'd never heard those Lucy promos either. The "whole town" one is brilliant.

He was in straight porn, I think, although he was known for [!@#$%^&*] a turkey in one scene (a Butterball turkey - not a live turkey). He also wrote a tell-all that scandalized the industry, and he and Loring appeared on talk shows multiple times talking about his porn career. And they met on the set of a Traci Lords movie, which pretty much says it all about why P&G would have been no, no, no, no, no.

The worst was when people were gushing if any generic white straight guy wore some color or wore a dress. I saw someone gushing about how Jared Leto, of all people, had helped "kill" toxic masculinity. Pathetic.

Already been denied.

It was only a decade ago that Nathalie was still on Hollyoaks, playing what had become a truly sad character who was mostly there to be a slampiece for an older, white mob boss. I never thought she was that much of an actress, but she had real screen presence. I think she has grown as an actress, while maintaining her charisma and poise over the years. I hope she has a lot of good things ahead in her career.

In Lemay's book he said P&G objected - he never suggested that the actor who played him had a problem with the role. Did he say this somewhere else?

I wonder if Saundra Santiago would have been any better if they'd cast her as I think they had planned to. I never knew there was another Antonio. I wonder if Malone ever thought of bringing Maggie back for the Angel Square story...

@Vee @SFK Someone put up part of an April 1992 that I had never seen any of. You get Andrew, Jason, Tina and Cain, Elaine's Dorian and Mia's Blair, and also more glimpses of that Maggie Vega character who always seems so odd that I keep waiting to hear she was actually a psycho. You also get Max at his self-righteous shithead worst, and LeeAnn huffing and puffing because the Buchanans are just so cold and dismissive and Viki is so MEAN. Alongside this we get a hilarious scene of Viki getting her Tori on in cold rage when she wonders what LeeAnn's SECRET...MISSION is. I can see why Erika was less than thrilled with this stuff. Gottlieb obviously had such a different view to the Buchanans that Rauch did. I wonder how viewers felt at the time about the whiplash.

I read about that this morning. It made me angry, but I wasn't surprised. Creepy Joe and perma-smirk Mika have carried more buckets of water for men accused of abuse and assault than Jack and Jill did in all their trips up the hill. I still remember when Mika tried to strongarm victims through their show. They are nasty people, wastes of airtime and of skin. They are no better than Trump.
