Okay, this is LOLarious. Pity about the dude from _Lewis_, though. (I have already mourned Gina Carano)

My life and my perception of the world are slightly worse for being aware that this movie exists.

[minoanmiss]

So are mine! I need company in the pain.

Shared joy is increased, shared joy is decrea

WELL THAT CERTAINLY IS SOME HEADER PICTURE.

My Son Hunter, which takes place mainly over one debauched night in 2019 in the hookers-and-blow-filled Chateau Marmont suite of the prodigal younger son

For the first 40 minutes or so, the protagonist seems to be Hunter himself, a drug-crazed, sweat-glazed, pitifully self-deluded but not entirely unsympathetic figure as played by the nothing-if-not-all-in Laurence Fox. Fox is a British actor, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art who appeared in supporting roles in Robert Altman’s 2001 drawing-room mystery Gosford Park and the long-running ITV detective show Lewis

Joe Biden himself, played by John James of the 1980s soap opera Dynasty

OMG the soap opera fans are going to be crushed by this one

I never had a chance to become attached to Gina Carano, but I was distantly benign toward Laurence Fox as the child of an actor I liked and then he flushed himself down the drain of alt-right radicalization and I felt sorry for his family, none of whom as far as I can tell share his views. [edit] Oh, I missed the Pride flag swastika! Such a charmer.

Also, my brain hurts now.

Oh wow....I missed that story too. He's like the British Kevin Sorbo.

[dine]

oh, wow. just, wow

I am sorry about Fox - I quite enjoyed him, before he took a header into insane Right land

I've been disappointed about Laurence Fox for a while now, I loved Hathaway in Lewis.
Then again character is not the same as the actor, so I try to remember that. (Pity that unlike Morse, Lewis is not based on books so the only Hathaway we have is the televised one)

[ororo]

I used to love watching Laurence Fox. Now I can't bear to rewatch Lewis, which is really unfair to Robbie Lewis, and Morse before him.

Well, that sounds terrible.

It does at least sound as if this chunk of the right is pulling away from Trump.

For what that's worth.
