I've now seen most of Blue is the Warmest Color on Netflix. Not sure what to say about it. There's more explicit sex than any movie I've ever seen--including some stuff that's been labeled porn. But it's "highbrow" and (to me at least) extremely long and slow m...

Speaking of the Oscars, how many presenters were drunk or otherwise high last night? I count these: Harrison Ford, Zac Efron, and John Travolta. Also, Kim Novak scared the hell out of me. Matthew Mcconaughey's speech was obscenely arrogant. Jared Leto couldn't decide what was most important...

Didn't a couple of his exes insist that a lot of that book was self serving--and that Cheetah wasn't nearly as much of a lady killer as he made himslf out to be? I've even heard it whispered that more than half of the thing was ghost-written by some guy that never even checked with Cheetah on some o...

I think he gets to call most of the shots in his family. I've pushed eliminating our land line and cable tv on several occasions. I don't make the rules, though. Everybody would have to agree, and that's never going to happen. Maybe he ended up with a mate who agrees with him on everyth...

It's definitely a "hot button" topic. (I think that's the right expression.) The only interchange I've had on it was on twitter. I made the (admittedly pop-psychological) point that Woody Allen had always seemed interested in maybe too young, but always post-pu...

Ah, another helicopter flick.

I don't see why I shouldn't get as much benefit from placebos as the most credulous people do. Those who don't want to make use of this ability of their brains to heal their bodies, may, of course, differ. For them, I suppose, it's more important that an experiment be double-blind t...

Wow--thanks! I'm going to buy some of that stuff right away. It's funny because I was embarrassed this morning by all the shit I'm already taking each morning. There's a "men's" one-a-day (with digestive enzymes), an acidophilus with pectin and hcl (thanks,...

They should have published your comment, Rita, and they wouldn't because I'm guessing June is right that Woody would not allow anything he writes to be touched. So there was the embarrassment factor. You're a really good editor. Even though that sentence is a big mess, I'd never hav...

Hi guys--I only have a minute. (I signed into the the local library internet to do this, since I lost my internet thingy when it turned out somebody else really owns my house, and they only give you 20 minutes to surf here.) Anyhow, I'm hoping the medical insurance is as good as it soun...
