OOOUUUHHH the people at Jezebel are gonna so mad when they read that title!

I take it your live somewhere that is predominately warm and dry?

People will continue to crave the communal experience of watching a movie with an audience. Drive-ins can supply that while maintaining germ mitigation.

Sorry I got tired of feeling ripped off paying 14 bucks to see a shitty 90 minute comedy or worse, going to see a 2 hour blockbuster in an auditorium filled with people with no common civility.

I got an Alamo and a Violet Crown about two miles from me and didn’t go often enough in hindsight. So mad at past me. 

Add in if you have any kind of disability, movie theaters are nightmares.

In that “I could kiss you, Della” scene, it jumped out at me for the first time that Rylance—intentionally or not—seems to be chanelling Barbara Hale’s voice as Della occasionally.

I like that our hero is a good man but has an anger management problem. Nicely nuanced, and relatable, from only anti-heroes or villains losing their tempers.

They’ve already killed that mandate, at least temporarily.  Now anything that was intended for theatrical release before corona hit is eligible even if it never gets shown in a theater at all.

Those goddamn cell phones will never stop ringing, and people will never stop talking. And theater seats are filthy and the floor is sticky. Worrying about catching COVID is just another problem. When drive-in theaters come back in vogue, people will wonder why they ever tolerated the annoyances of indoor theaters.

I wasn’t allowed to being my lucky dinosaur pencil sharpener to my GMAT test (actually happened). I don’t see why women should get to bring feminine products (/s (because some of you are slow)).

I took it in CA a decade ago and you were only allowed a small clear bag with specific items, like pens and your (turned off) cell phone. I didn’t have my period that week, thank God, but now I’m wondering how women who did handled that shit. I suppose, in the end, you’d just have to put tampons in there and endure…

I think my cousin took a clear ziploc to his bar exam. Only clear water bottles are allowed, and the labels have to be removed. For the medical step and board exams, there are lockers to keep personal items in. We have to empty our pockets on every entry and exit. Absolutely nothing allowed inside the test room except…

It’s different state by state. I took it in California and you could only take in a clear bag with very limited items (ID, pencils, keys). I think you were allowed to have cough drops and tissues, I don’t remember about tampons and stuff. But you def couldn’t bring in your own purse with a bunch of stuff inside.

When I took the Florida bar, everything I brought with me had to be put in a clear gallon Ziploc bag. I was allowed to have writing instruments, my ID, a credit card, my ear plugs, and chapstick/meds. Also my hotel key, or my car keys if I had brought them, but bottom line everything was subject to screening before…

Bar exams are ableist as fuck (also racist and classist) and should just be permanently canceled. What it really tests is your ability to pay a bar prep company thousands of dollars, take two months off to study full-time, memorize books worth of outdated and unnecessary law, and then sit still for 2-3 days, 8 hours a…

I’ve never taken the bar exam, are you allowed to bring your purse with you? I always have a couple of tampons rolling around in there. Do they search your bag and your pockets?

First I have to question if you’ve ever seen actual righteousness or indignation.

thank you for reminding me of Jean Teasdale. I think those columns must have been subconsciously lingering in my head while reading some of these mommy blogs

The audio recording of her is pretty damning, but Depp’s got a checkered enough history that I’m not quite ready to think this is a one sided story.
