I saw a HULU preview for Showtime's Ray Donovan that had Susan Sarandon and Jon Voight

in the advertisement. So many thing came to my mind. not the least is which they both achieved the results they wanted. Needless to say the free Showtime preview did not entice me in the slightest, and I won't be watching it

I've been such a fan for years. Monster talent. Rocky Horror alone has had an almost profound effect on not just the cultural landscape, but on mainstream American values.

She was the therapist on Rick and Morty this week, voice acting. Just brilliant. Dead pan delivery, perfect timing. A joy to hear.

But she had enough privilege to actually TELL people not to vote for Clinton. I think Clinton's failure to attract voters was mostly her campaigns fault, but the stubborn Left played a small role. She's not Polanski, she's not even Mel Gibson. I think maybe she's truly sincere in her incorrect beliefs. And the only people we get to blame for 2016 are Clinton and Trump. But I think her safety and insulation gave her the freedom to be so unmoving and uncompromising.

There were literally a thousand other celebrity endorsements of HRC.

How much power are we talkin' about?

I've never seen Dead Man Walking or Thelma and Louise. Is the acting THAT compelling?

supposedly opposites ended up with the same goals.

Extreme cold and extreme hot both burn
