I wonder if this will be the film that finally gets South Korea an entry into the Oscar’s Best Foreign Film category.  

Too many of these K-pop groups have a ridiculous number of members in them.  How many singers does one group need?  How do these guys even make any money?

And since Pattinson would presumably be playing a young Batman, a la Batman: Year One, he wouldn’t have to look super muscular.

Warners will actually be one of the most solid streaming services assuming they put all their properties together. They own a ton of content, including Friends as well as everything from Warner Brothers, the classic MGM library, DC, Hanna-Barbera, HBO, New Line, and more. Friends will never leave that site once it…

With this story and the Ronald Sullivan case (a lawyer who lost his position as head of a Harvard dorm for advising Harvey Weinstein), I hope there isn’t some momentum growing towards judging lawyers based on their clients. Few lawyers work with morally pure clients all the time; that’s not how the law operates.

True, I’m not sure why Yara and the Iron Islands are brought up as if it is out of character for her to want to be part of the alliance. It was already established that Yara was not the popular choice as ruler and the Islands must be seriously depleted of men after Euron’s campaign failed. Surely she would want the…

Early and mostly positive reviews (a few are comparing it to Pulp Fiction in style and even quality) are coming in from Cannes now and while none have revealed the ending, they all comment on how wild the end part is. So there could well be some historic revisionism.

I think that movies and TV have given us false ideas about how many real hitmen are out there. Most of them are probably fronts for the police. The only actual hitman I know about was when my historian father interviewed a former mob hit guy who retired and ran a restaurant in Tampa. When Dolly Parton performed one…

I’ve wondered for awhile why Robert F. Smith isn’t much more famous, especially as a tech role model given his accomplishments in Silicon Valley and being a former chemical engineer. Perhaps this will be the boost he needs to get into the public consciousness.

I notice there’s some separate theme naming going on with the couple’s boys and girls. I suppose they are hoping the boys will be holy and the girls will be good at geography? Or Kanye is allowed to name the boys and Kim the girls or vice-versa.

You can certainly argue too that Lawrence is a subversion of the White Savior trope as the movie definitely questions just how much of a genius strategist Lawrence really was or whether he made any kind of positive difference.

Not to defend Federline too much, but he has done a lot to help take care of their kids.  I think he currently has primary custody of them.

I think there is still some ambiguity about Jaime’s intentions.  Maybe he did intend to kill Cersei or convince her to give up and changed his mind when he saw she was about to die alone.  And he may well have been the one to ring the bells of surrender, which would have shown that he was not really being honest with…

The headstone was really something. It said this: “Great by birth, greater by marriage, greatest in her offspring: here lies Matilda, the daughter, wife, and mother of Henry.” 

There are so many female writers in fantasy nowadays that I’m not sure they really need specific spotlights anymore. Even five or ten years ago, that wouldn’t necessarily have been the case but things have really turned around for women writers in fantasy and even in science-fiction in general. If anything, there…

Thor’s attitude towards Mjolnir shows how he has developed as well.  In Age of Ultron, he was nervous over the idea of someone else wielding the hammer.  In Endgame, he was delighted that Steve could use Mjolnir and clearly no longer depended on that weapon.

Getting black voters in the Midwest as well as white ones is needed. But you know who is by far the frontrunner in both groups now among Dems? Joe Biden and it isn’t even close when it comes to black voters, including women: https://www.essence.com/news/new-poll-says-47-percent-of-black-women-would-vote-for-joe-biden/.…

Florida doesn’t have sasquatches. We have skunk apes: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/skunk-ape-research-headquarters!

Testimonies don’t necessarily mean a lot. There are thousands of people out there with stories of damage from vaccines. Some are legit - vaccines can have bad side effects. My mother has a friend whose two kids developed epileptic seizures right after taking the HPV vaccine and their account is very convincing. But…

I’m impressed that he had such a sizable estate given that he probably only got big paydays for a few of his films like the second Fast and Furious and had a large family to support. He must have been a savvy businessman.
