The Last Man on Earth returned yesterday after its winter break with a triumph episode starring pretty much just Kristen Wiig giving a brilliant performance. Yet, there was one scene that has left everyone talking about it.
The Fox sitcom takes place in the future, and yesterday’s episode took place around 2020. During that time, the 46th President of the United States Mike Pence rules America. When and how he took over from 45 we don’t know, but what we do know is that he dies from the virus that is quickly wiping out almost all of the World’s population. Since it is killing everyone in its path, we also lost POTUS 47 Paul Davis Ryan, Jr, POTUS 48 Rex Wayne Tillerson, POTUS 49 Steven Terner Mnuchin, POTUS 50 Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III and POTUS 51 Betsy DeVos. I guess that is proof that 45 really will kill us all.
Crap they just took a hilariously funny moment and made me just want to go ball up into a fetal position and cry until there is nothing left to cry.
No seriously, if you are not watching The Last Man on Earth, you are missing out on one of the funniest shows on television that is full of heart. A lot of heart and that is why I love it so much. While most of Apocalyptic shows, end up with it being about humans vs humans like The Walking Dead, Z Nation and Leftovers, on LMOE the surviving human become a family. That is why I get bored with all of those Zombie dramas, which are no longer about people vs the Undead. Instead, they are about survivors battling it out with other survivors. How can humankind survive that? You know what I mean. I want to believe if there were only a few of us left, we would get along and not try to kill each other. Just like on Last Man where the nerdy dude gets to procreate with almost all of the last women on Earth. A tough job, but somebody has to do it. I said, ‘do it!’
On that note since that is Tandy’s (Will Forte) humor, I will once again implore you to watch The Last Man on Earth every Sunday at 9:30p on Fox!
Say what you want about Molly Ringwald, but she made Pretty In Pink what it is. I could not imagine anyone else but her in the lead role, can you?
Well, Jennifer Beals told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she was offered the part of Andie. She said, “Frankly I am really glad that I didn’t take it because Molly Ringwald is so fantastic in the movie.” Then the Bravo host asked her why she didn’t take it, she told him, “The funny thing about Flashdance I wasn’t in school, the character is not in school, so you are not an age. And I thought if I play somebody who is in high school, then all of sudden I’m back there. And also I was going to college.”
Did she make the right choice? For herself, no. For us, yes. I mean, I can’t imagine loving the movie as much as I do with her in the lead role. I cannot see her being a good match with Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, James Spader and Annie Potts. To me, Beals plays every role the same way. Monotone with a hint of bitch. That works for the roles she has been getting since The L Word, but would not have worked in the teen angst classic.
On that note, her next big movie after Flashdance was The Bride with Sting and it stalled her fame until The L Word came out nealry 20 years later. Yes, she continued to act, but no one really knew that she did because the Frankenstein movie was rightfully panned for being pure crap. So awful. Sting should never ever should act. But this not about him, it is about her making the right choice for us.
Remember when Scott Foley was on Grey’s Anatomy and he died? Well, he told James Corden on The Late Late Show that they made a cast of his dead head to make his death scene look more realistic. The real cost of a prosthetic head is a lot of money, so they kept his around just in case they needed it. Thus, whenever most people die on the nighttime medical soap, you will see a familiar face. His.
I would scream Scandal if they did not pay each time they used it because in a way it is like he was on the show again. I mean, isn’t giving good head a requirement when someone is looking for a job in Hollywood? Or does that have a different meaning then the one I was told that it means?

We fell in love with Pretty Woman because the whore found her rich Prince Charming, but that is not how it originally ended.
About a year ago, Diane Lane, who auditioned for the lead role, told James Corden on The Late Late Show that the original ending was with Gere throwing Roberts out of the car like she was trash. That was one version of the not so fairy tale ending.
Last week, David Katzenberg, who ran Disney at the time, shared a much different ending at a Q&A. According to Page Six, he revealed this ending, “As a script, ‘Pretty Woman’ was an R-rated movie about a hooker on Hollywood Boulevard.” Then he added, “By the way, in the original version — it’s pretty dark — I think she died of an overdose. So convincing [people] that we should make that at the Walt Disney Co., and that it’s a fairy tale and a princess movie, a lot of people had a hard time seeing it. But, as they say, the rest is history.”
Is it wrong that I want a movie studio to make the original version? As sweet and as RomCom the original one was, I want to see the darker version. Bella Thorne could play the Lady of Night with Jon Hamm as her John, and they could get Oscar noms for their work in Not So Pretty Woman. It wouldn’t be a hit like the original one, but you wouldn’t need a bottle of wine to go with all of that cheesiness.
Which ending of Pretty Woman do you like the best?
This weekend Logan was the #1 movie and Ryan Reynolds wasn’t going to let his arch nemesis Hugh Jackman have all the glory. Therefore, he released a little teaser for Deadpool 2 and we say his Deadpool 1 and Deadpool 2. In other words his butt as he changed into his costume in a thing called a phone booth. Yes, they supposedly still exist.
Now we know why Superman always wore his costume underneath his costume. There is not enough room to change in a phone booth and it takes for ever to put on those tights! Granted woman already knew that!
