How sad for your wife.

Are you TRYING to drive readers away? And wtf and is that stupid neck thing you’re wearing?

“reliable news source”

The only thing she’s qualified to give a masterclass in is being a brainless twat.

Do you have to work at being so goddamn irritating, or does it just come naturally to you?

You’re seriously trying to criticize a film you haven’t even seen, and clearly know nothing about (and for which you clearly misunderstood the trailer)? You’re a moron.

You give yourself away as a complete and utter moron within the first 12 seconds of this video.  Even just going by the trailer, it is clear that the film is not in any way what you somehow believe it to be.

Not to mention these “reviews” (or whatever they’re supposed to be) are just fucking annoying.

That doesn’t make the prank not a prank.

Lol.

How would flying a person out for the event make it not a prank?

How many 56+-year olds do you encounter “making a terrible racket and being a vandal” and ““thrashing” on the public library steps" on, say, a weekly basis?

Uh, ok.

“Academy voters ostensibly believed that the film, which takes place over a period of at least 24 hours, was filmed from front to back in one continuous roll of film. How do I know this? Well, besides the technical achievement, there wasn’t much else happening in the claustrophobic 119 minutes.”

That have one like that where i live as well. The area used to be overrun with drugs / drug deals / other sketchy shit and was getting more and more unsafe to even walk by (it’s right near a bunch of residential properties, so there is regular foot / cycling traffic) - it’s a constantly-used park now and is much safer.

Ok, well you made a blanket statement that simply is not true in all examples. I was providing you some information you were clearly missing, as I thought perhaps it might be helpful.

They work really well to prevent such things in the city where I live. I rarely see anyone skateboarding on public property outside of skate parks, and it used to be a big problem here before the parks were built. At most, it’s an occasional person rolling calmly down the sidewalk to/from work - those who do that here…

The phrase is used to mean “raises the question” (essentially what the OP is saying it does not mean) by writers on this very site (obviously) - as well as by reputable news outlets / commentators and people in business and casual conversations. That you may not frequently see / encounter / notice it doesn’t mean it…

Dumb response, but that doesn’t surprise me.

Oh, I didn’t realize that the motif was part of the book cover design...
