This story brings to mind Pansy and George Kotolaris - mother and son ‘funeral crashers’ of Seattle. They didn’t steal gifts, though.

That was partially addressed in the ‘building of’ video. After they took out the back seats and tried to start the car it threw error messages. Don’t know if they were emailed directly to Musk, but it was a telling moment.

He was so sweet and real as Ian in Only Lovers Left Alive

Yes. I’m still not ‘over’ his death.  I honestly could have gone without knowing how it happened, but I do, and it hurts.  Yes I know people suffer and die in awful ways every day... but Anton...

Is there any truth to what I’ve read elsewhere (sorry, can’t recall source) that human females are sometimes excluded from pharmacological testing due to concern for possible pregnancies?

With you on that! I was intrigued by the trailer, but definitely won’t be watching now.  Life is gross enough, I don’t need this (literal) shit.

It certainly doesn’t hurt that look that she’s 6 feet eleventy inches tall

If the kids re-test and pass their SATs, they should be allowed to compete for placement in other schools IMO.  They shouldn’t be punished for their parents’ wrongdoing.

“Oh, Cardinal Pell

I’ve got a small aluminum tree that my family bought when I was nine, I’m 58 now.  49 years old, and even with the rough handling it’s had over the years, it’s got all of the branches.  Some of those branches are “crunchy” and battered, but I stubbornly put it up every year.  The little rotating light thingie is…

This is exactly the sort of (maybe glorious, I’ll never know) film that I’ll refuse to watch because, for me, the taut, thrilling line between humor and suffering = *cringe*.

I’m at a position in life where I’m better off without a partner, and so glad of it. I don’t trust any of them so I’m completely single, and loving it. Don’t have to worry about DV when there’s no D (lol?)

More like Evil pooped its pants in Texas. Beto almost did it.  I think  Evil’s been put on notice.  I’m gonna give some $$ to Beto so his campaign can recover.

ugh, I’m sorry about that.  Truly.  I love your city and wish you all the best.

I read the book “It” nonstop over the course of a few days.  From that point on, I would spook at the color combo of orange and blue.

Cosmic terror is the worst. Because of a strange recurring dream I had as a child, where all the planets were too close to us, I used to fear that Mercury would come unhinged from its orbit and crash into Earth.

The difference is her talent, though!

The soundtrack showed up on the digital jukebox at my local dive bar, and I had to play some of it** (but it was missing ‘La Vie en Rose’)

**queue a couple of crusty ex-fishermen denizens saying “what the heck is this noise?”

I just want to watch this film over and over until Ally’s performance of La Vie en Rose is seared into my brain forever. Thanks.

That tribute was amazing.  And so was the toga dress with the gold strappy-straps, which I must have now.
