Una Merkel is third billed and she didn't show up until halfway through the picture! But then she did cartwheels, so I guess it's okay

Comment inspired by Week-End in Havana. Here she plays a quirky shopgirl. Faye is primarily a (marvelous) singer, and her acting is usually fine. But quirky she ain't. She does much better later in the picture when she's arguing with John Boyle and has finally has something to play.
DVD cover of Week-End in Havana. The movie stars Alice Faye, Carmen Miranda, John Payne, and Cesar Romero

I just now realized that Querelle is directed by Fassbinder
Criterion Collection cover of Querelle. It's a picture of a sweaty, muscular man in a tight tank top and tight pants. The words "a film by Rainer Werner Fassbinder"  are rather prominent

Intermission at The Notebook. Pretty good so far They're using the multiple generations really well. Keeping most of the singing to Ally and Noah was a good call. Now I'm even more surprised it didn't last longer on the Broad way

I was very happy not knowing who or what “Dobby” was. Dammit.

he was 400lbs at one point and drank til he had the shakes for like 30 years. I know we like our “fat guy with aura” posts but he almost certainly had a convo with a doctor that was like “you are not going to make it to 65 if you live like this”.

Watched on Sunday 8/2 Turns out I'd seen this one before in a Culture and Media class in college. It was my introduction to "Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat" (it's fascinatingly racist. Like worse than Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's)

Ugh. In my day, young person, pornography was also rich and plentiful!
I think one [reason Gen Z is having less sex] is, frankly, the internet and smartphones, where there's kind of a substitution effect. You could get dressed up and go out on a date and try to find someone to sleep with, or you could scroll your feed and watch pornography at home and not have to make all of that effort and fear rejection. So the technological climate has a lot to do with it.

When you want to mention the lyric change in "Arabian Nights" but don't mention the lyric change in "Arabian Nights."
Did we see a sudden increase in violent threats from Arabs and Muslims when Disney’s Aladdin was released and people argued it was a negative and offensive portrayal? No. In fact that wasn’t even a blip on the fucking radar.

A minor but revealing tidbit
His campaign noted that he had not hidden his tattoo since receiving it, taking off his shirt in photos, at the beach and at the gym. 

"I've lived my entire life like a regular person with a skull and crossbones on their chest," Graham Platner said on a liberal podcast in October, after showing video of him dancing shirtless at his brother's wedding. "At no point in this entire experience of my life did anybody even once say, 'Hey, you're a Nazi.'"
