Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Lesley Ann Warren usually plays characters that bother me. All her recent stuff...well, she's coasting on Mission: Impossible goodwill.

Have you seen CHOOSE ME? It's from a while ago (and sad of me to think of the 80s as a while ago) but she pretty much got a free pass from me for that movie. It's a touch mannered (especially Keith Carradine's character, though I like his performance), but I adore the move. Plus a steaming Teddy Pendergrass soundtrack.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. I love Choose Me also, though it is as Frank notes, mannered.

I bet Scrappy's a fan too.

Our wings are not tired.

Iirc*, "Choose Me" is an Alan Randolf ("The Moderns") movie. I really loved it at the time, but haven't seen it since.

  • I am on a Google-search hiatus when it comes to looking up stuff I really should strive to remember instead.

Pretty Good Rescue Me tonight, except the horny chiros were a bit of a return to old bad habits. And, ok, Franco's a Truther...we get it. But, as Tommy said last week, if he could harness the energy he uses chasing tail, he could save the world. Also, in my head part of that last Tommy/French Chick exchange went like this: TOMMY: You just want to pump me for information... FC: What else do I want to pump you for?Ew, never mind. just for the Spuffy shout-out...

You are correct.

Pretty Good Rescue Me tonight,

Agreed.

except the horny chiros were a bit of a return to old bad habits.

And also this.

If that was the end of Gina's run on the show, I'll be sad to not see her regularly. She doesn't get enough (decent) work.

Art Crawl!!!

Could things end with Tommy that cleanly?

It seems out of character.

I also agree. It was definitely one of the funniest, too. I just hope the secondary characters get a decent story arc: Mike and his bar aren't very interesting.

I'm thinking they aren't done yet, because they wouldn't really need to bring her back for that, right? They could just write her out without showing her, plus, if memory serves, Peter Tolan digs a chick fight. He will probably not be able to resist a Gina & "Marina" throw-down of some sort. (I remember the French chick from the L word, but don't remember her name on this show.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Genevieve. I remember because it's one of my fave french names.

I like it too, but I guess it was so expected, it didn't make an impression. It's true that the guys tripped over themselves trying to say it like she did, though.
