Ya to the Mitchum centennial!! Haven't realized that he and Susan Hayward were so close in age. He was terribly underrated so it will be great to see an appreciation of him.
Maybe we'll hopefully see the return of the Smackdown next month? Fingers crossed.
The mother! trailer is out. It was a bit of a bore.
It wasn't a trailer, it was a teaser. It certainly didn't look boring.
Can we expect any tribute to Sam Shepard in the coming days? I didn't realize he and Jessica Lange had broken up back in 2009. They apparently did a fantastic job of keeping their privates lives private.
