Heh. I was half-expecting "Only Zuul.".

if you die from "complications from a suicide attempt", isn't that just suicide?

It is, unless there's a statute of limitations on successful. Maybe if the medics say you're still alive, it starts the clock over.

"He was searching most of his life for his identity," Merry-Ellen Unan, a close friend of Dryden, told the Canadian press. "He truly didn't know who he was." The effort to prove his parentage led George Dryden to become estranged from the family who raised him.

He was obviously mentally ill, seizing on the who's my daddy as his problem to blame his failures on. Once he's grown, unless daddy was lending him a million to get started, or left him property in a will, it doesn't fucking matter who daddy is.

Stick war? That's fucked up.

I'm sure it started out as a thumb war and things escalated...

I just read a little article about season 2 of Lucifer and it pissed me off.

Spoilers for the season finale so put in white:

In the finale, after Lucifer returns from Hell, we learn that someone has escaped hell and is loose in the world - his mother...so now there is speculation about which actress will play Lucifer's mum. This is the article that pissed me off:

"Now which TV or movie actress would get the role of Luci’s mom? As of the Season 1 finale, it was not revealed whether Luci and Amenadiel share the same mother. Regardless, the show bosses could choose a young early 20s or older mid 40s actress to play the role. Age should not be an issue, but assuming Luci’s mother is bad, then she must be vain to the core. One of the most crucial criteria then should be an undeniably strong presence."


Apparently, it is beyond our collective imagination that the woman playing the mother of Tom Ellis's character be older than mid-40s - when he himself is 39. And yes, I get that as immortals that rules might be a bit different, but I don't really think that's what is going on here. It's the usual bullshit of women over 45 being basically invisible as far as Hollywood is concerned. If they were casting someone to play the father of an immortal who is played by a 39 year old man, I fucking guarantee they'd go for an older man, probably in his 50s or 60s

If it makes you feel any better, that shit pisses me off too.

Julianne Moore would be a good candidate for Lucifer's mother. As would, God help me, Julianna Margulies, but, I just can't stand her.

Oooh, Meryl Streep.

Here's a list of 50 actresses over 50:
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/famou...es-over50.html

Some really great casting choices,

I might add Andie McDowell, fucking Betty White would be awesome. There are a ton (48x140lbs* = 6720lbs, so three tons) of other great actresses.

*average weight of 50 y.o. American female from the low end of the curve assuming that career actresses have, with some notable exceptions, generally kept their weight down.

It's a sad note that when entering the search term 'female actors' (as opposed to actresses) Google's search suggestions are, hot, sexy, under 30, under 40, still sexy under 40, hottest, etc.

Typing in 'over 50' gets similar results, with a few nods towards their ability rather than how well they've aged.

I guess I'm glad that I didn't get Did you mean Over 50 Hot actresses?

I clicked through that list, and was wondering what happened to Terri Garr, and then saw a report she has Multiple Sclerosis. Bummer.

Both of those are way too nicey nice.

Although I did love Betty White's delightfully foul mouth in "Lake Placid".
