in all the (appropriate) memorializing of Shelley Duvall as a performer in the work of male auteur directors, spare a thought for her own auteur work: Faerie Tale Theatre was one of the few actually good media products aimed at children in the 1980s, but because it didn't sell toys it's forgotten

She was almost always the best thing about any movie, especially Robert Altman's.

It is reasonable to want to be informed. It is another thing entirely to slowly cook your mind on this platform and/or Twitter reading arm-chair analysis, rage-baiters, endless speculation or graphic descriptions and images of conflict. You have limited mental energy every day. Be kind to yourself.

It's basically a documentary about a sheltered Victorian mill owner suddenly having to make his way in the modern world with none of the idiomatic knowledge or social skills. They should put this on National Geographic.

Toronto! The weather is getting truly gross, but the upside is that all this humidity is perfect for tomorrow's free See The North screening of TU DORS NICOLE at the TIFF Lightbox. Come for the air conditioning, stay for the sticky Quebecois ennui!

That's bizarre -- the rest of the thread is still up. A newly published paper suggests over-the-counter antihistamines like Zyrtec and Claritin can prevent COVID infection becasue they bind to the same receptor as the virus.
