Re: Gene Hackman, 94, being hounded by tabloid

So a somewhat related personal grooming topic to laundry is shower frequency. Growing up, I took a shower every day, sometimes twice a day, but in recent years, especially during the pandemic and...

I think this is a good example of what you're referencing regarding time horizon, but I actually see having a good haircut as not very important. My opinion is, as long as it looks professional, I...

I've seen this and mostly liked it. Jesse Plemmons was completely miscast though. There's another show, Candy, that is also about these events, which I have not seen, which was produced around the...

Re: Why do older people lose so much weight as they age?

Thanks Captain Steel. I think you've provided the most well thought out and reasoned answer that could explain this outside of the presence of chronic disease, which is what I was looking for. Are...

Re: Why do older people lose so much weight as they age?

Thanks for these helpful thoughts, Captain Steel. It is certainly true that everyone loses height as they age, but what is the connection between losing height and losing weight? Logically, if...

Re: Why do older people lose so much weight as they age?

It's not just Eastwood and Hackman. I know many older people and it is quite common for them to become thinner as they get older, so I don't think it's just a case of cherry picking. Does it happen...

This question was prompted by seeing photos of Gene Hackman in the other thread, who at 94, looks incredibly thin relative to when he was acting. Another actor who this has happened to as well is...

Re: Gene Hackman, 94, being hounded by tabloid

I don't think taking photos of him when he looks extremely old and frail and commenting on how he is wearing the same clothes, or a variation of them, is a smear. It actually sounds like it might be...

Thanks Stirchley. I am very much a problem solver, so I've been trying to figure out how this could have occurred and appreciate the helpful explanation.

Interesting comment. I'd love to learn more about what you mean here. Why do you think the movie would have been better if Clint Eastwood directed it?

Re: Curb Your Enthusiasm

I think this was one of the better episodes of this season. It was amusing, at the very least. Two more episodes to go. They don't appear to really be making any effort so far to wrap up storylines...

Re: Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story - Jerry Seinfeld directing

This movie looks like it will either be very fun, or terrible, and I don't know which it will be. I'm looking forward to finding out.

As Yoda suggests, I think you can enjoy art without tracking what you've read or showcasing your selections to others. I use Goodreads and I've honestly never considered posting a book for...
