You honestly have no idea? I think it’s pretty obvious why the (non-Muslim) writers of a Netflix romcom have absolutely no appetite for lampooning mainstream Muslim cultural and/or religious practices.

What I've heard about the Hadrian situation is that he was a bit too touchy-feely with young Antinous and that the boy's fatal fall into the Nile may have been due to a lover's quarrel with the Emperor, thus his extravagant grief and all the statues of the deceased.

You’re not understanding the point then.

Not having sales(and having the price at 30 instead 29.99) is just them being upfront about the minimum they’ll take and always taking that minimum. I used to work for a company that did the same thing, no sales ever, which meant that people would never feel like they missed a…

That’s the point of the scene though. There’s a weird inappropriate romance brewing between their characters. (and the peach has clearly been fucked, and he knows it.)

Yeah, though it’s weird that they are now offering a straight-up revision of that story. Granted, I think it’s much simpler to be like ‘yeah, that was the monster crashing into the water at the end’ instead of the convoluted mystery box story that played out online about a satellite, Slusho algea, etc. but it’s also…

Back when the move was released I was very very active on the imdb message boards and the prevailing theory was that it was a baby looking for its mother but it didnt come from space - the satellite that fell awoke the baby who is really a deep sea monster. It further fed off of the main ingredient for the Japanese…

Related but not sure if anyone heard but Orson Welles just revealed that “Rosebud” from Citizen Kane was the guy’s sled.

Imagine being a person who has to have multiple accounts on a site to solely go around insulting people with the same insults over and over. All the while trying to paint a picture that other posters lives are somehow more pathetic. Its honestly really sad.

That or something like this:

I want to see a full season order of Black Frasier. 

“Even if we might desperately hope for something a little more ambitious than what we ultimately got.”

Good thing they have other great adult swim shows to fall back on like Tuca and Bertie- oh wait they just cancelled that one. But hey, there’s always evergreen classic The Venture Bro-wait, they cancelled that, too. But look at all the great shows they have in developme- oh wait, they have nothing because WB’s new CEO…

No, it’s not because she died. She was recognized well before her death as an outsized talent with an absolutely unique style, who sounded like no one else. Her voice and personality, coupled with the great songs and near-perfect production and arrangements on Back to Black (i.e., vintage soul, but not dated), brought…

She was insanely talented and, yes, you’ve missed out.  Love is a Losing Game is a gem and Back to Black is a solid album, back t0 back.

Somehow the best quote I’ve seen emerge from a Nepo-Baby actress. All they have to say is ‘Yeah having famous parents helped me get in the door, but I’m good at this otherwise I wouldn’t still be here getting gigs.” Its hilarious that Maude Apatow and Lily-Rose Depp are just so fucking arrogant they can’t even…

Neill was great (and got to use his real accent) in the Taika Waititi film Hunt for the Wilderpeople. I recommend it.

I’m a big fan of the sub-sub-genre of “movies where Sam Neill goes nuts” - In the Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon, Possession, etc. Think of how much better the terrible final Jurassic World movie would be if Sam Neill went crazy and started thinking he was a dinosaur and killed and ate Chris Pratt!

From The AV Club review of the show:

Aww, starring in a movie wasn’t fun enough for her? Daughter of multiple billionaires had it so rough
