They committed a wrong and paid the price. Thiel just funded the very just lawsuit. Gawker was the party in the wrong from the very beginning.

Exactly right. Tired of them playing the victim, when they published a man’s ill-gotten and secret sex tape. It wasn’t news/journalism, and they paid the correct price for committing such a stupid mistake.

Hot yoga can actually be quite harmful, as the heat allows some people to stretch further than they should, leading to injuries.

In this part of the world (Australia/NZ), most companies shut down between the 22nd of December and the 8th of January, if not the 15th! And most accept that the first couple days back will be spent trolling through any unread messages (which would onky be from overseas contacts anyway...).

“Fleshy colored”...? Whose flesh?

I have never felt a minimalist before! I travel with:

My parents were abusive alcoholics. In addition, my mother was addicted to demerol and was a pathological liar. My stepfather managed to convince my father to sign off parental rights, then adopted me and my brother, forcing us to take his last name and lie to everyone we met about our true father. He was a Dr and and…

I just went ahead and moved across the world. ;)

I live where all the theatres have assigned seats, but totally with you on #2. I have also actively avoided trailers - esp for all the Star Wars movies. I’m going to see them, so I don’t need my excitement stoked. The only exception? Deadpool. Most of his “trailers” are just Ryan being weird. :)

Nope. Distributors never take 100%. I worked in accounting for a large movie theatre company with screens in three countries. The second poster has the correct split of revenues.

When I moved to New Zealand 11 years ago, I discovered that all of the theatres have reserved seating. It was amazing to me! No more lining up hours before a movie, or dickheads wandering around trying to find a seat at the last minute. No trying to save seats with coats. It was life-changing and I don’t think I could…

Careful, your racism is showing. The white settlers did far more damage here...

They are pretty cute in person - and look like something Seuss dreamed up. Their call is kind of a moan.

After seeing what they’ve decided to do with the Amazonian outfits, giving this movie a hard pass. WTF, Snyder.

I’m in New Zealand, so the culture is a bit different - most offices have showers, so lots of people shower outside of their homes at some point in the day. My husband showers almost every morning at the gym and goes to work. And while we don’t have a lot of black people here, there are many other people of color who…

I could only make it through half of it...

I gave up on Mayim when she said she had never been harassed in Hollywood because she wasn’t pretty enough and/or because she dressed conservatively.

Yes, by dumb-dumbs. Oh, wait...maybe that IS the entirety of the US now...

Completely agree. For me, it’s not so much “spoilers” as revealing plot points out of order. If the trailer reveals too much, I sit in the movie wondering when a particular scene is going to happen. This happened with Atomic Blonde - the scene with her in the hotel room kicking ass is at the very tail-end of the…

I remember soon after buying my first home, I was attempting to put together an IKEA chair and chatting with a good friend - keeping him updated on my (pathetic, soul-crushing) progress. :)
