I think there may be some dress code counseling in the future.

I think we are going to find out pretty soon.

Back and forth strawberry and banana, strawberry and banana, strawberry and . . .

I know where you're going with this.

Bend, chest on to the bench.

Nothing like a nice versatile daddy. I always had a crush. Short muscular guy.

And in both senses of the word.

I assume you are just kidding. Otherwise I guess I will have to preface everything I mean in a facetious way by writing "I am only trying to be funny here but . . ."

tassojunior: I was into the summary interview for the first show before I remembered that she is British. She's got not only that central PA accent down but the disheveledness and the attitude also. I wonder if a big murder really only gets a county detective assigned to help her though. And that guy has got to turn out better than he appears now. Totally believable show easy to immerse into. ps- I hate the way HBO does one-episode-a-week instead of letting people binge from the start. For some reason the Forum is not letting me directly quote anything. At any rate, I agree it will be interesting to see how the newly assigned detective (can't remember his name) and Mare's relationship develop along the way. Moreover it does seem odd that he would be the law enforcement assigned when there was already a complaint about the force not solving a previous case. The little I have seen so far is a little like the relationship between the detectives in Broadchurch (oil and water). And I totally agree with you that HBO won't allow a subscriber to binge on a series if they want. Perhaps you would be able to if you pay the extra for the new HBO streaming.

Just damn flexible.

I DVR'd (or whatever one does on one's cable). Is it the play or simply part of the play during which other plays also appear?

I began watching this HBO crime thriller which takes place in a close knit community in Pennsylvania. Kate Winslet stars as a police detective Mare) assigned to investigate the murder of a young mother while under increasing pressure by the town to solve the disappearance of another young girl. She is insulted when the higher-ups in the department call in another detective to help her with the two cases. Of course, her own home life is in shambles despite the fact that her mother (Jean Smart) is trying to help her as best their personalities can allow them. While all this mess is transpiring she meets a handsome, semi-successful author (Guy Pearce) who wants to pursue a relationship with Mare while she realizes the limitations of her present circumstances. I have really liked the series so far and actually look forward to its progression. Some have compared it to the BBC series Happy Valley which I have not seen so I obviously cannot compare them. The only small complaint that I have is that the writers seemed to have tried to insert a very large number of characters into the story in a short amount of time so that it has been hard for me to keep track of who is who and what relationship they are to other characters. Kate Winslet is great so far. I am always amazed how British actors/actresses seem to be able to master an American accent for a role. For instance, I first saw Emily Mortimer (perhaps the name should have tipped me off) in Lars and the Real Girl (a great movie) and saw a very great American actress speaking a Minnesotan accent. I then saw her on some talk show and heard her speaking her native British accent. I was amazed. Any way, in Mare, Winslet masters a specific accent spoken in a certain area of Pennsylvania.

I am going for the mid-section so back off guys.

Just follow the sign Pietro. Thanks.

Vander!!! ChaosMen extraordinaire.

Getting ready for a game.

"Burning peaches" means something else to me.

Lucky Mark Henderson.

Well, based just on his ad and its photos, plus the fact that he finds "helping a thousand children in extreme poverty to have a very Merry Christmas" to be his greatest life experience I certainly would be more than satisfied (or at least try to be). I guess I will definitely need to make plans to attend Palm Springs 2022.

Training, travel, and obviously walking around in a very small towel. P.S. He could also definitely qualify to be in the Blow Job Lips thread.

"The new West Side Story was scheduled for last Christmas and has been moved to this December." I don't know if I am looking forward to this or not. I really liked the original a lot. And I don't think that Spielberg has ever directed a musical or not (that doesn't mean imminent disaster). I guess we will see.

Ruffalo was brilliant in his role and I guess that what was made it so disturbing for me to actually watch in its entirety. In general I do not think that Ruffalo the cognition he is due. It must be my age but I do not mind watching a movie at a movie theater or a big screen at home but I really can't comprehend much smaller and watching on a phone should be punished by law in my estimation.

A Chicago star.

Not the song, the voice - Not my favorite but love the spirit of the song and actually another great voice - And by the same artist But there is so much more . . .

Viola Davis knows what she's doing. The nuances in all her roles are generally breathtaking. She gets into her characters in a way most actors just can't.
