Is Romans name actually Roman or Romulus?

I believe Romulus is just a cute little nickname his dad calls him. He tends to say it when Roman is on his good side.

His namesake, of course, being famous for killing his brother and becoming king. A subtle hint?

Pickle: Inspected.



quote:

According to author Brian Hoey, who wrote the book At Home with The Queen, it involves a footman bringing Her Majesty a tub filled with sawdust with folded pieces of paper.
On the paper is random messages and predictions for the year ahead.
The Queen and her guests then select a piece of paper at random and read out their supposed fortune for the year ahead.
Brian writes: “Each member of the Royal Family takes a lucky dip and if their particular forecast is not very favourable the poor footman gets the blame.”
I'd love to see what verbal abuse they give the footman.

...and then my toast came out soft.
This might be old news but: Kieran Culkin was on Conan’s podcast this week and said he was originally asked to audition for Cousin Greg. Also that Jeremy Strong was originally looking to be cast as Roman.

Here’s the moment in the episode:

The funny thing I can see Strong being Roman based on his bit in The Big Short. He has awesome range

E: And dial up the awkwardness and self loathing for Kieran, and he'd be a Greg. A kinda diff one but still

Don't worry, like they say " It's all good! "

Does Tabitha appear in season 3 at all? And anybody else find it weird that Naomi doesn’t show after Kendall almost drowns in the pool? I’m sure Logan banned her from the wedding like he did on the boat or maybe they ended things after the 40th.

Banger show. Mike White (the creator) is very talented. He's also been on Survivor multiple times.

White Lotus is definitely something I would recommend, although:


It's disappoointing that the Aussie hotel manager won't be back, he was superb.

Dr. Leon Adoso Sumbitches (prounounced soom-'beh-cheh) (born January 21, 1935) is heir to the legendary Adoso family oil fortune.





Regarding the final scene with the manager and the suitcase, my dad said "I've definitely thought about doing that before".

Really?? Cuz I've been mad at people but I've never thought about doing that!

Sobbed like a baby at the ending...it made me angry, sad, and happy all at once. What a strange, strange show. I was completely hooked the whole way through.

Bring on Season 2 of White Lotus! (And Season 4 of Succession.)

Just caught up and finished season 3.

Loved the finale. I hope Tom and Cousin Greg come out on top when it's all said and done.

James Cromwell is pretty much his character from Succession. He's been a radical activist his entire life. Worked to get Black Panthers out of prison back in the day.

Enter your name pilot!

So like his character on the show. Claims to be an activist but when it comes time to prove it he does a little as possible. Of all things going on in this country right now, thats what he wants to protest, loving plant based milk? Oh no his coffee might cost 15 cents more.

In the show he has the money and power to actually do things. But when it comes time like voting out his brother in season 1 he flakes out, or he gives his money to greenpeace.

Clearly the answer is that either no-one protests anything, or everyone protests against the exact same thing since every single human is identical.

Soon.

I guess this is the general thread for this show? Haven't seen S3 yet.

very very very happy about the S2 finale. kind of thought the show was losing track of Kendall this season (his rap in the baseball jersey was... weird, and he was like a sitcom dope about the actress in that one episode) so it was great to see him fight back

has this ever been called 'Breaking Bad for brunch liberals'? :D

question: did they ever give a reason why Kendall didn't try to go to Bill, the guy who let Tom in on the cruises issues? With him and Greg that's two eye witnesses who can verify the cover-up and at least one that knew what was going on directly.

Is it bullshit though? Plant based milk costs a lot more for the same volume than cow milk. What do you propose we do?
