Thank goodness that Halloween is over and we can go back to a streaming movie schedule which doesn’t feature wall-to-wall horror movies, nor be greeted by foul Halloween decorations at every turn.
Of the loathsome pumpkins, we will not speak.
Also — and I must issue a stern Puke Alert here — we are also spared the appearances of celebrities and harlots (considerable overlap) in “fancy dress” costumes, an example of which can be found below the fold:
I have to admit that I’ve always enjoyed Bruce Dern’s little girl Laura in her movies. She’s not pretty in the traditional Hollywood sense (whatever that is), but she’s rather sexy.
And I loved her in Rambling Rose:
Now, at an advanced age (for Hollywood) she gets to play with the hotties:
Laura Dern has admitted she felt ‘so lucky’ to be able to perform a racy sex scene with younger costar Liam Hemsworth in their new movie Lonely Planet.
The romantic drama, which landed on Netflix on October 11, sees Dern’s character Katherine Loewe, a successful and respected writer, travel to a Moroccan resort to finish her latest literary novel – which is where she meets Hemsworth’s character Owen Brophy.
New Wife and I watched Lonely Planet the other night, and it was quite enjoyable despite its obvious unreality (when was a rom-com ever realistic, anyway?), because in no small part Laura’s performance made it credible. (And the “racy sex scene”? Compared to some of her other efforts — e.g. her bedtime activities with Nicholas Cage in Wild At Heart — it was brief, and unlikely to cause Hemsworth’s family much embarrassment.)
Anyway, here’s Laura over the years:
And she’s now 57?
Lovely.
What can you say when a popular high school football player is cut down in his prime, taken too soon and is a victim of gunfire?
Perhaps the little asshole shouldn’t have crashed into a Halloween party and shot nine people, before being gunned down himself by another armed partygoer who didn’t much care for his attitude.
The latter part only came out after everyone was calling our scumbag footballer the victim, instead of the aggressor he actually was.
Best part is that the hero of the story isn’t going to be charged with any crime — self-defense duh, not to mention saving innocent lives — so we won’t have to bring out the tar and feathers for the local prosecutor.
Tell me again how EVs are safe, good for the environment, etc. etc.? They are?
Until they blow up in the night for no apparent reason, that is.
Financial question: Would this be the time to short Mercedes stock, or would it be best to short all EV makers’ stock? Asking for a friend.
Parallel thought: how much longer is Elon Musk going to ride this dying horse?

Remember this?
The Nevada Supreme Court ruled Monday the state can count mailed ballots that arrive without a postmark up to three days after Election Day on Nov. 5.
…and no checks on the validity of said ballots, either.
…and similar measures.
