Thanks for the tip! I like the idea of a mental “jar” I can use to measure progress against. Otherwise, my old brain will just keep falling back on habitual behavior and never change.

I did too! Also it lets my youngest son play Cuphead without dying. He loves old cartoons, and he’s not interested in beating games. He just likes running around their virtual worlds. I shared that I did this for him somewhere else and so many people jumped on me for enabling him cheating or saying he wasn’t really…

Betty White, John Madden and now Sidney? Really if you’re up there you keep taking the wrong ones.

If Die Hard can be stretched to be a Xmas movie (it can and is one) than it’s not nearly as far of a stretch to Consider Nightmare both an Xmas movie and a Halloween movie.

the movie won’t stand as “hilarious” on its own - it’s only funny in reference to something else.

Beetlejuice is one of the most unique and original films to ever receive a greenlight from a major studio, with Oscar winning make-up and a career best Michael Keaton.  

I watch A Christmas Story every year. No shame here. Good movie.

the pacing is slow (especially a New Hope)

It is likely that it has been copied so often it seemed unoriginal to you.  This is a big problem with classic movies, especially comedies.

i had a bar regular who would, when people started making weird big dick innuendo, tell his favorite joke:

The festival calls to mind other similar instances, such as The Who’s 1979 Cincinnati concert where 11 people died, and dozens of others were left injured, leaving us all wondering, just what is it about the concert environment that turns an otherwise friendly event into a stage set for mayhem?

Listen, I’ve worked with Couric on a video shoot and she is incredibly genuine and kind. I was basically just a gofer at the site where she was filming (i.e. not part of her crew), but between takes she made a point to chat with me. It was a literal dream come true - she was a role model to me when I was in journalism…

It’s “prostate” cancer.

I actually hope Olivia and John made it work, and then add a third named Newton.

Management didn’t “kick them off the set” they quit and were told to leave. Which is what happens when you quit a job. I certainly don’t blame them for quitting, but management wasn’t “actively trying to get rid” of anyone. And the AV Club article is wrong. Shocking, I know. The prop master didn’t quit and there’s no…

There were no non-union members brought in. Film armorers aren’t union. They do work with union propmasters but film armorer companies are private. According to Deadline multiple armory companies declined because the budget was too small to accommodate the amount of gunfire the production called for. The production…

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually feel really bad for Alec Baldwin. Not because his picture is everywhere but because he accidentally killed a human being.

This phrase is, for me, the very best evidence I’ve seen in favor of other commenters’ theory that this is some Red Pill/MRA false flag operation. Mind you, I do not affirmatively believe that is actually the case... but this is conspicuously bad advice!

Guardian did a profile with a couple of their leaders some months back, there really are just some women out there whose reaction to dehumanising misogyny is dehumanising misandry as some kind of “owning the libs” situation.

Not sure why that would be the case. In the end I’m never noticed much of a moral difference in men versus women. Oh, don’t get me wrong - men are worse, but only because they have more power to actually do crappy things. In even environments both groups suck equally.
