There is nothing better

I don't know, the universe is a big place. Saying there's nothing better might be a bit of an overstatement, but I would agree Bugs was the coolest cartoon character.

I've been watching people slap each other. Seriously. I did a short binge on this (I promise it was short). Many years ago on TV I saw something about people having slapping competitions. It seemed so stupid I assumed it was a sort of joke or a short-lived fad, but apparently now it's a big competitive sport (sport? game? athletic competition? I don't know what it's supposed to be). There's lots of "professionals" doing it and it sometimes draws pretty big crowds. It's even got rules. Yeah there are rules about how to slap somebody in the face. Sometimes someone will slap somebody so hard they almost lose consciousness. I thought sports were supposed to be fun and stuff. This doesn't look like any fun to me. I have no desire to slap anyone and even less desire to get slapped. And another thing - I thought men were supposed to throw punches, and women were supposed to slap, but here we've got men slapping each other. This is all too weird.

I've heard of that program. No idea it was on Hulu. I'll have to check it out.

It has Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange. I only saw the first two episodes, though.

Susan Sarandon is a good casting choice. She has those big beautiful eyes Bette had. Probably the most physical attractive feature in a woman IMO.

Some researchers speculate Bette Davis famous eyes were actually the result of Graves disease, lol.

Interesting. I wasn’t aware of that.

@MehGuy is missing Jezebel on TCM. One of the roles Bette Davis was at her most beautiful besides her Mrs. Skeffington role.

Dream Scenario. Great movie and a terrifying look at the cancel culture and youth of today

Finally watching the Fraiser reboot.

Sad to see Martin's death written into the script of the first episode... not too surprising given the real actor John Mahoney died a few years ago. Still... it was sad to see.

Modern Family

 

[iluvatar5150]

Aquarius on Netflix, which was originally -surprisingly- on NBC. I say "surprisingly" because it's been eons since I've found anything on broadcast tv I thought was good.

 

[MehGuy]

Everybody Loves Raymond.

Watching this amusing little anecdote about reality
