The first one from Married With Children where David Ruprecht plays a snooty mall owner. And like the Lakeside Mall, it’s got it all - a dead Santa, a catatonic Marcy, and a rare happy ending for the Bundys.

Rydz with the rizz #WCDarts

Much like RDJ’s return, I didn’t cry my make-up off during “Endgame” for this to happen lol

I predict garbage. Also, what is it with these male morons reading Dickens and thinking "I want to go to the darker places he wasn’t allowed to write about." (Steven Knight, the twat). deadline.com/2025/10/john...

Michael Keaton and Terri Garr did it better Also, this notion that married heterosexual men are absolutely clueless is tired. Like you serious don’t know where your daughter’s schools are? 🙄🙄🙄

What?

As plenty of women have always known, it’s easy to sucker a man with a big ego into pretty much anything you want if you just let him bang on about his obsessions, flatter him, and don’t let your own personality intrude.

Adam Sevada walking on to AC/DC’s Hell’s Bells. I want him to win.

That’s a minor character who appeared in 3 episodes of The Sopranos in season 5 if I’ve ever seen one.

Joe Comito, mamma mia.

one kid came in, licked a bath bomb, and then went crying to her mum that her tongue was fizzing and it tasted horrible. her mum was somehow - incredibly - furious at us for this

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

This kind of versatility doesn't get enough credit IMO because it's considered more critically respectable to maintain a distinctive style and keep returning to the same themes.

Horrible and upsetting news about Rob Reiner and his wife Michele.
