Are you allowed to rush Martin Scorsese?

I have longstanding, irrational love for James Caan.
Me too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
quester,
apparently a comedian Whitney something sold two shows this year. In the first, she kind of plays herself in a comedy with her live-in boyfriend. The thing that gets me (I hadn't ever heard of her before) is her sarcasm (to me, in the ads) is hilarious. And her BF seems down to earth.
It's on NBC.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Jason O'Mara's accent!
Added bonus to seeing him on my screen again.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The only other question is whether the particular author is able to judge that effectively.
Well, that is why it is addressed in "Style Guides" - it is a matter of style, not usage.

thanks le nubian!
Well until my reception improves, I'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The sarcasm in the ads totally loses me, leN. I disagree with just about all of them. It only makes me wonder "who is she?: and "please don't try and be my friend."
I want to see Real Steel. Not Footloose.
