if you die from "complications from a suicide attempt", isn't that just suicide?

It is, unless there's a statute of limitations on successful. Maybe if the medics say you're still alive, it starts the clock over.

He was obviously mentally ill, seizing on the who's my daddy as his problem to blame his failures on. Once he's grown, unless daddy was lending him a million to get started, or left him property in a will, it doesn't fucking matter who daddy is.

I just read a little article about season 2 of Lucifer and it pissed me off.

Spoilers for the season finale so put in white:

In the finale, after Lucifer returns from Hell, we learn that someone has escaped hell and is loose in the world - his mother...so now there is speculation about which actress will play Lucifer's mum. This is the article that pissed me off:

"Now which TV or movie actress would get the role of Luci’s mom? As of the Season 1 finale, it was not revealed whether Luci and Amenadiel share the same mother. Regardless, the show bosses could choose a young early 20s or older mid 40s actress to play the role. Age should not be an issue, but assuming Luci’s mother is bad, then she must be vain to the core. One of the most crucial criteria then should be an undeniably strong presence."


Apparently, it is beyond our collective imagination that the woman playing the mother of Tom Ellis's character be older than mid-40s - when he himself is 39. And yes, I get that as immortals that rules might be a bit different, but I don't really think that's what is going on here. It's the usual bullshit of women over 45 being basically invisible as far as Hollywood is concerned. If they were casting someone to play the father of an immortal who is played by a 39 year old man, I fucking guarantee they'd go for an older man, probably in his 50s or 60s

footfootfoot 05-08-2016 01:35 PM

If it makes you feel any better, that shit pisses me off too.

Gravdigr 05-08-2016 01:46 PM

Julianne Moore would be a good candidate for Lucifer's mother. As would, God help me, Julianna Margulies, but, I just can't stand her.

Oooh, Meryl Streep.

footfootfoot 05-09-2016 12:34 PM

Here's a list of 50 actresses over 50:
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/famou...es-over50.html

Some really great casting choices,

I might add Andie McDowell, fucking Betty White would be awesome. There are a ton (48x140lbs* = 6720lbs, so three tons) of other great actresses.

*average weight of 50 y.o. American female from the low end of the curve assuming that career actresses have, with some notable exceptions, generally kept their weight down.

It's a sad note that when entering the search term 'female actors' (as opposed to actresses) Google's search suggestions are, hot, sexy, under 30, under 40, still sexy under 40, hottest, etc.

Typing in 'over 50' gets similar results, with a few nods towards their ability rather than how well they've aged.

I guess I'm glad that I didn't get Did you mean Over 50 Hot actresses?

I clicked through that list, and was wondering what happened to Terri Garr, and then saw a report she has Multiple Sclerosis. Bummer.

Both of those are way too nicey nice.

Although I did love Betty White's delightfully foul mouth in "Lake Placid".

I haven't actually watched the show, but I like to cast against type.

DanaC 05-09-2016 02:32 PM

Meryl Streep would be teh awsum - but I suspect she's too big a movie star for a little genre show on Fox.

And, yeah, foots, that does make me feel better :P

i don't even really mind of they end up casting someone younger - given they're immortals, who take a different shape when human, they could cast a 10 year old and it would probably work (not to mention being seriously fucking creepy). It's more the way the article was written - that they didn't even consider the possibility of someone who actually would be old enough in human terms to play his mum.

Some awesome actors there. My personal choice, for an older actor in the role, would be Ann Dowd. She is magnificent. She might not fit the bill if they want her to be the beautiful, glamorous type - but my God she can be terrifyingly intimidating with just a look. Her performance in Leftovers was chilling.



.....and if they did end up going down the woman in her 40s route: Liv Tyler was also magnificently unsettling.

Old actress?

DanaC 05-11-2016 12:16 PM

Apparently, AMC, the channel that brings so much gore in the Walking Dead, the characters are literally drenched in it, and has no problem showing people's heads exploding, has censored a glimpse of Tom Hiddleston's bum

Quote:

It became one of the most iconic scenes in The Night Manager when it aired in the UK, yet it seems #Hiddlesbum didn't quite make the cut in the US.

When AMC aired the fourth episode last night (May 10) in the States, the beloved shot of Tom Hiddleston's derriere in that steamy scene was censored.

Gravdigr 05-11-2016 12:35 PM

Guess his bum isn't as nice as Walter White's.:right:

DanaC 05-11-2016 02:11 PM

It's because his bum was being shown during a sex scene.

Oh noes, sex! Think of teh children! Imagine the damage it will do to their morality if they see a sexy bum in amongst the extreme violence on tv

BigV 05-13-2016 05:12 PM

CHIPS! Oooooooo, luxury!

We had to bite our own lead paint, straight from the window sills....

monster 05-13-2016 10:59 PM

You had teeth? you jammy bastard! Our parents used to pull ours and sell them to the gypsies. then they'd spank us til we grew some more. We had to suck our lead out of the paint. backwards.

Undertoad 05-14-2016 02:06 PM

We prayed every night for paint. We had to walk down road and find pieces of metal just 'oping that they had lead in them. Father would use a file and make shavings to put under our tongues. Still, those were good days.

sexobon 05-14-2016 03:13 PM

During the war, we had to turn all our leaded paint chips in to the gov'ment refinery so they could make bullets. In return, they gave us pencil leads to eat; but, those were actually graphite and we went into withdrawal. If it wasn't for our dog chasing cars and snatching the lead wheel weights off them, we would have starved to death. Good Loco: it was the first and only trick he ever learned.

they paid for the tattoos with teeth. it's nice to be able to admire your naked body in the mirror while you suck down your pureed burger and fries

There are so few tattoo artists skilled enough to tattoo teeth onto the gums that they can charge exorbitant prices.

monster 06-19-2016 10:40 PM

I wonder if the tooth fairy is inked?

xoxoxoBruce 06-19-2016 11:34 PM

You'd be amazed at the range of foods that can be eaten without teeth, just by taking your time and gumming the hell out of it.

When growing teeth in the lab gets cheap, the tooth fairy is in trouble. :yesnod:

I rode all day yesterday in shorts. Sunscreen attracts a lot of grime, so I had greasy grey shins. I had to shower last night at 1 am when i realized that I could, in no way, get into my bed like that. This morning, I was happy that I didn't have to shave or shower. But.

I forgot deodorant.

It's going to be 92 here today. oops. I hope that skip a day thing is legit.

infinite monkey 06-20-2016 11:13 AM

I remember an insult from an old book of insults I had when I was a kid:

You're on the sixth day of your 5 day deodorant.

To what did that refer? This:

I put a bit on after the shower last night. The antiperspirant aspect is more the concern. My pits smell like roses.

My son brought his middle school yearbook home today. He was showing me where he appeared as a little speck in various group pictures. But my eye was drawn to all the stuff people were signing in his book. Apparently he somehow got the nickname HAGS because many of the notes were addressed that way. I didn't want to pry, but I was curious, so I asked him about it. He ignored me at first and didn't answer me, changing the subject. So I dropped it for a minute as we talked about something else in the book. But I asked again, and that's when he rolled his eyes and told me it means Have A Good Summer.

Oops.

Lola Bunny 07-12-2016 01:31 PM

Not sure where to put this, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say it in Facebook either. However, I just want to say it somewhere. The other day, Bruce's co-worker showed him a flyer of an organization that calls for violence not just towards the police but also to firefighters. They claim firefighters are as bad as the police. Bruce's co-worker just wanted him to be aware. I was relieved that Bruce is not a policeman. We live in a small town that adjoins other small towns. I'm not scared for Bruce's safety, but it does make me nervous. Society is going crazy.
