My brother used to be a film critic for a local weekly in Chicago (if it sounds glamorous, it wasn’t). He saw it at a screening with a bunch of other critics and, when that truck completely flipped over, the entire theater broke out in spontaneous applause and cheers, even though it was pretty much exclusively people…

Opening day for the Dark Knight. With my best friend at Universal City Walk, we waited our whole lives for this movie, so we paid extra to see it in IMAX. This is not the fake-MAX you find at some theaters, this is the full sized 76 foot tall tilt your head to see the whole thing IMAX. We had never been to it. The…
When I was in high school I worked at an AMC that showed Rocky Horror on Friday and Saturday night at midnight. Most times it was a shit show of drunks and idiots and it was a mess to clean up (not because they did the movie right, but because they would bring in outside food, get sick, etc.).
Two top my list:
Of course, that’s still ethically fraught
“What I’ve learned on TikTok is that I can’t shop at thrift stores because I contribute to the gentrification of thrift store prices,” she says. “But I also shouldn’t shop at fast places like Forever 21 because they use child labor sweat shops.” She can’t afford high fashion either, and can’t shop from Amazon because…
My grandad, a hugely devout Catholic, mass everyday, having the father over for dinner once a week, was sent to Italy during WWII. He never returned to church again after visiting the Vatican. They had so much wealth and used none of it to help the victims of the war. They hoarded it and continue to hoard it.
Amen.
They’re not. Archbishops are just dicks about it, get rebuffed, and sulk for a while. Canada’s Jean Chrétien (prime minister in the ‘90s) got the same threat from his archbishop.
Are they icing out anyone in the Italian government? How about the Irish government? How about Poland, Mexico, or Portugal? And on the flip side, are any Catholic governor being iced out because they don’t categorically grant clemency from capital punishment to prisoners? Are they going to ice out Catholic prosecutors…
If churches are gonna start taking political stands then they should have their tax exempt status removed.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - Hillsong is a cult. The congregant here was completely right, the pastor was definitely testing the waters and seeing if she’d be DTF and this isn’t the first time he’s done it. It’s gross, predatory behavior.
So what if it wasn’t a “bad? picture? That’s not for you to decide. It’s not like him and Rachel are currently friends, they hadn’t spoken in years. I don’t want my current friends tagging me in photos I don’t like, and I especially wouldn’t like some random person I went to high school tagging me in photos for clout.
I’ll admit I’ve pondered getting my brows done, but I think that’s from the rest of my face being covered for over a year, so I’m more aware of how nuts they look if I don’t at least comb them, and am more bothered by them being uneven than I would be in a normal time of life.
Rogan likes to say “don’t listen to me I’m just a dumb monkey”, but then spouts out conspiracy theories and lets guests meander through lies with no accountability of what they are saying and knowing that people are listening to that garbage as if it’s fact. I remember back before the election how many times he…
I know (otherwise) smart people (all men, natch) who won’t shut up about how “revolutionary” and smart and well-rounded he is and it makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills. As an aside, I find it fascinating that women are stereotypically seen as the gender that blindly follows celebrities and TV self-help…
Huge failure as a society that we let these guys get THIS RICH. it’s obscene!
Generally, I’m not inclined to trust Musk-mostly because he’s a real life Hank Scorpio-but in this specific instance my mistrust is because I’d like spacefaring technology that does not fall apart in extremely harsh environments like space or a rainy afternoon:
