On War Horse: An Illustrated Review
"Spielberg made a big deal about casting an unknown actor as the main dude, but he's really just a hunk ..."
Back in the late 70s, director Carroll Ballard took the same approach to casting the boy who starred in "The Black Stallion." She wanted a total unknown -- the only stated prerequisite was that the kid had to know how to ride.
I knew how to ride, so my mom took me down to a casting office in Manhattan where they were having an open call for the part. We filled out a form, and then they took a Polaroid picture of my face and said "thank you." We never heard from them again.
See, I didn't know about the "good looking" part or I wouldn't have bothered. The kid they ended up casting was cute, it seems. I guess that's why they took a picture of my face rather than, say, giving us a "how well can you ride?" test at a stable or something.

On The Man-sturizer
I man-sturize regularly. But not as much as I did eight years ago.
Wait ... what are we talking about again?

Today's culinary climate is so polarized.
It's amazing that we, as a nation, can get any meal prepared these days!

Maybe cashews are like cilantro?
Could people be genetically predisposed to either love them or hate them?

@meattubs Actually, I love cashews. But I cannot argue with the power of the anagram.

"Eat my ass, cashews!"
Actually ASS CHEW is an anagram for CASHEWS.
Coincidence? I think not.

On Poldark: A Cornish Maxiseries If You're Craving Pasties and Freckled Bosoms
Angharad Rees (she of the "freckled bosoms") was fodder for my adolescent fantasies when I watched this show on Masterpiece Theater back in the 70s. Her name may be unsightly, but she sure wasn't!

Which Molly is this one? Is she one of the Mollys, or just a Molly?
