$500 million, according to Wikipedia. It may have been widely derided, but lots of people went to see it anyway, if only to see what everyone was talking about.

There was literally no point in making a movie of this piece of poorly-written wank fodder and not making it NC-17.

I remember reading an interview with a real-life dominatrix who talked about forcing men to read the book as a particularly cruel punishment. "No, mistress! Anything but that!"

Hopefully by then we'll be on to complaining about the robot overlords or something.

I wonder how many decades we'll have to get into this century before the media stop grousing about 'millennials'.

Isn't being melted by acid what happens to all food in our stomachs anyway? If you find this disgusting, you probably shouldn't eat anything. (Or at least don't look in your stomach after you do.)

If you look in the wrong places on the Internet, you can still find plenty of people getting worked up over the gold standard.

More accurately, The Master was the beginning of the end of Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I don't know what makes something 'great art', but Boyhood has stuck with me more than any other film of recent years. I think it'll age pretty well.

I remember sitting down to watch one of his shows (Raw or Delirious I guess) with my gay flatmate in the first week of college. In my defence, I hadn't seen his stuff before and didnt know what to expect. It got awkward very quickly.

That was a low-budget movie with no marketing campaign, on a highly uncommercial subject. It's pretty hard to argue it 'failed' because of Emma Watson rather than those other factors.

Still, at least Facebook makes money. I believe the same is true of the likes of Snapchat, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and LinkedIn, in one way or another. Twitter really stands out as a big social network that is also a massive money sink.

There are other websites with even fewer restrictions on comment than Twitter, and they tend to be filled with racist conspiracymongering, spam, and really nasty pornography. I mean, if that's your bag, go nuts.

I kind of feel like Twitter is destroying their core USP here. Like, I'm sure there are uses for a Twitter account besides telling famous people you dislike to get raped and die, but I'm not quite sure what they are.

I genuinely find it hard to imagine how someone could find nothing to distinguish between Clinton and Trump. I can understand people voting for Trump, but I cannot understand someone whose values are so skewed they see them as identical.

I've just discovered that there's a tribute band that plays the soundtrack in Transformers cosplay costumes. That's so ridiculous that it becomes cool again: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

"No other film that decade captures with pure, lunatic Dadaist abandon
the nagging suspicion that maybe the world really could just up and end
on December 31, 1999."

Oh go on, tell us which MP…

Well, as someone living outside of the United States, I am 100% sure he would make me less safe. I'll take the refugees instead, thank you very much. Enjoy your fascist state.

Oh right, I forgot how many lives Trump has personally saved, and how many bullets he's thrown himself in the way of.
