Her breakthrough, of course, was playing Selena. A movie in which the heroine dies. Just saying.

My mother just told me that she heard the intermediate level Sudoko in the UK is sold in the US as advanced.
This isn't really an annoyance, it's just a horrible reality.

Are these puzzles supposed to be fun?

That is the hollwood way (pace Hollywood).
Had hollywood producers had their way Othello and Desi would probably have a burgeoning family and be living in a very well decorated Palace on the Rialto.
Cambridge University Professor of Electrical Engineering, Sir Charles Oatley, in October, 1948, along with his student Dennis McMullan, began the research that led to the production of the first scanning electron microscope in 1965.

It's not the ending I want to change. It's the middle. That, of course, should make for a more interesting ending.
That shit cray.

Oh my - my father just told me that it was supposed to be with totally new music.
Why call it Carmen then? Just make a movie with a happy ending with J-Lo singing and call it Jenny from the block lives happily ever after.

Just like "Aida" huh?
At least they kept the music for Carmen Jones, even if they did update the lyrics some. (BTW, if you have not seen this, you should. Dorothy Dandridge was one hot mama!)
And speaking of Beyonce -- she's apparently starring in a movie of Dreamgirls.

But do you find Jamie as annoying as Dakota? I don't. Of course there are degrees of annoyance.......

I only said "apparently" because that far off, who knows what might happen?

I think Beyonce has at least three movies about to come out. I am relieved that I am unable to name them all. Does she need her own thread? Only asking.

The attraction to Katie Holmes is inexplicable to me but even I'd switch teams for a rendezvous with Beyonce. As long as she doesn't make me listen to her music.

This Fucking Old House, episode 14:
The toilet in the “master” bath has been running. Mr. Mora (who is TJ, by the way; I would like very much to stop referring to him here as “Mr. Mora”) purchased replacement tank innards on his last trip to Hell's Depot (sometime before Christmas) and finally had the time ( a “day off”) today to do the job, which he started at 3:30 this afternoon. At about 3:45, he interrupted me at my computer with a request for some decision-making assistance.
Two flights of stairs later, I was greeted in the bathroom by a severed toilet tank lying on its side in the tub, and a toilet bowl lifted precariously off the crumbling tile and rotted subflooring beneath it. TJ had broken off the tab on the back of the bowl when whacking it with a wrench trying to release the bolts securing the tank to the bowl. And then, of course, discovered the disintegrating floor.
I'm still not clear on why he needed my assistance with the decision to go buy a new toilet.
We returned home after an hour and a half round trip to Hell's Depot with a sprightly new model on board, along with a half sheet of 3/4 inch plywood with which to attempt replacement of the subflooring beneath the toilet. While I concocted dinner, TJ wrangled with the mess, then took a quick trip to a buddy's house to borrow jig- and reciprocating saws.
Until such time as we can afford to have a professional
well, someone with some rudimentary carpentry skills, come in and do the job sort of right, the corner of the bathroom floor will remain an abortion of torn-up tiles, sawn-out subflooring, and new plywood, all topped with a spanky new toilet.
My husband is not a domestic aesthete.

as long as everything goes where it should. (this is all purpose advice, by the way.)
