Faulkner

The sandwich that eats like a meal.

Wait. Is it “bakery” because of all the cakes on display?

I’m surprised I’d never seen this before: a four-way conversation about film between Vivien Leigh (fiercely intelligent and eloquent, wielding a cigarette like a sword), critic Ken Tynan, and studio mogul Samuel Goldwyn on a 1958 episode of Edward R. Murrow’s Small World. It’s a great watch, and I love how Vivien so strongly defends Orson Welles. There’s an odd bit at the top when Murrow addresses Vivien, then just 45, as “Grandma,” which Vivien laughs off. (I suppose if she’s not offended, why should I be?)

Lauren Roman. She does favor Jill Larson a bit.

Is that Tommy J. Michaels? If so, he grew up quite nicely. EDIT: It IS him. Wow, he’s gorgeous.

Indeed.

Nothing from Sheryl or Sara on this.

I don’t get these late year clay tournaments. Isn’t it jarring to go from clay to grass and then clay again and then hardcourts? In any case, this isn’t Dominic’s first time at the rodeo. Every year we say this, and nothing changes.

McKenna certainly looks older but has aged into DILF status. Torpey still looks adorable. Geiger, I have no words. I guess he looks glad to be there, which is something.

No Mia Korf/Kassie DePaiva shot?

I know many players don’t care about the 250 tournaments because not a lot is at stake, but we’ve seen some woeful performances from Thiem, Kyrgios, Chung, Tiafoe, and Coric this week. Chung at least has the excuse of returning from injury in his loss to Ryan Harrison (ugh). Kyrgios just can’t stay healthy. Not a good look before the North American hardcourt season, and he has points to defend from the Cincinnati final

Ha. I don’t get why a lot of actors don’t train lower body. Obviously there are aesthetic benefits, but developing glutes helps tremendously with posture, which is great for an actor. Maybe having a big ass makes it harder to fit into pants (and PF is also a model)? I dunno.

Lol. You’re the Ass Police, and I love it.

Julie Chen is suppose to resume The Talk on Monday. This article asks what might happen to Chen as the walls close in on her powerful boss/husband. https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/julie-chen-leslie-moonves-cbs-future-1202888951/ I’m angrier at our craven, cynical, clicks-and-ad driven media than I’ll ever be at the man in the Oval Office. They helped him get there, as Les Moonves so crassly said. So I take all the fake outrage from Anderson Cooper and his peers with a huge side eye. It’s the 24-hr Trump Show, they are loving it, and I certainly won’t be helping them profit from it. Speaking of $$$, I do worry about Ronan’s safety given the money at stake with these powerful people. Weinstein was on the downward slide, but Moonves is a huge scalp.

The story. There’s more, of course.

Meanwhile, Ed Westwick won’t face rape charges due to “insufficient evidence,” prosecutors say. https://variety.com/2018/biz/news/ed-westwick-no-rape-charges-1202888205/

What can The Talk do? It’s the elephant in the room, just like Sara and Roseanne, but this one hits FAR closer to home. Will they go into reruns, if they weren’t luckily scheduled for a summer hiatus already? Vacation for Julie Chen?
