What exactly is hotlinking?
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What exactly is hotlinking?
There were monkeys! Terrifying space monkeys!
Is there ever any other kind of space monkey?
Also, has there ever been a movie about a monkey sent into space that came back... wrong? Like, The Space Chimp's Wife ? And no, Burton's remake of Planet of the Apes doesn't count. Just because.
One for the Unjustly Forgotten Screwball Comedies Department -- He Married His Wife.
Two years ago, Valerie (Nancy Kelly) and Randy (Joel McCrea) married. One year ago, she divorced him because he was obsessed with horse racing and his stable of race horses.
Now, Randy is tired of paying $1500 a month (in 1940 dollars) in alimony, which Valerie doesn't really need. So when Ethel Hilary (Mary Boland) invites Randy, Valerie, and Randy's old friend Paul (Lyle Talbot) -- as well as Randy's lawyer, Willie (Roland Young) -- to her country house for a long weekend, Randy decides to encourage Paul and Valerie to marry each other. Not that Paul needs much encouragement, having loved Valerie for years. But then mysterious Latin lover Freddie (Cesar Romero) becomes attracted to Valerie. Yoga buff Dickie (Elisha Cook, Jr.) and Ethel's niece Doris (Mary Healy) complete the menagerie. Comedy ensues.
Loads of fun. If you've seen The Women, you know Boland's style (she's the Countess who's always talking about "l'amour"). She's equally entertaining here as the much-married mistress of the huge country place. Cook has too few moments as the junior Gandhi. Kelly balances her pursuers nicely. McCrea fumes well when it looks like Freddie is getting somewhere -- and has a pratfall that rivals his getting out of bed in Palm Beach Story.
Main weaknesses -- The movie is of its time as to gender politics (especially when McCrea tries to put his foot down), but many movies are a lot worse. Talbot never shows any real presence, and it isn't clear why anyone thinks Valerie might want to marry Paul.
Still, it's a very entertaining hour and a half. And a chance to see Boland outside The Women.

Don't hire a space monkey, unless it has good references.
What exactly is hotlinking?
The most evil hotlinking is when you use an t img tag to display a picture from a server that doesn't belong to you right in the middle of your page (or post). Many hotlinking prevention schemes make it so that you can't just click on an t a href tag straight to the image, which is why she provided a link to the whole page.
Oh! Seeing the monkey movie tonight. Am psyched.

That's a given. Although I think Owen could give a space monkey a run for its money.
Right, okay. Thanks. I'm not computer savvy.
Also:
To be fair, some of those photos are a couple of years old.
Is Emmanuelle's top lip naturally like that, or was it a result of injections?

I think that happened to her when she was in space.
