Remember when someone with dignity, grace, style, and genuine affection for the next generation occupied the office?

Reese, because at least you’d live.

“...but let me be clear,” he continued, “when I say there is a mother and father, I mean that in the absolute singular. There is a mother and father whose child will have insurance. That will be determined by a lottery. The rest of you little shits better hope you don’t get sick.”

I just realized, with that blonde wig and unnatural skin tone ... he’s one of the servants of Vaal.

Or possibly the Tednugenti or Kidrockawa.

Update from Germany:

Marketing, that’s how.

I mean, 55 fucking thousand pediatricians signed on to say this shit dmages kids brains.

UK Update:

I didn’t think it was possible to get worse than the lady at the town hall back in 2010 who wanted the government out of her medicare, but this guy managed to do it. Congratulations, Don Riscoe!

Well, it contains gelatin, for one thing. This is actually the norm among non-Greek yogurts, though, and gelatin is used as a thickener in all sorts of foods you wouldn’t think of; even Frosted Shredded Wheat uses gelatin to make the sugar paste stick on!

Nobody is having difficulty accepting that. The statement isn’t disbelief that Pullman didn’t see it. It’s that it is odd that he didn’t. That’s it. It’s strange that a guy who was an actor then, and became a “Movie Star”, missed one of the biggest films of all time. Star Wars wasn’t “like Jaws” or the Bad News Bears,…

I liked it, but a lot of it was way over my head, especially…

Spot on. I think there are some people on here who weren’t around when it happened and have no concept of how BIG that film was. Everybody saw it... maybe not literally but it cut across every cultural and economic strata. So Lightning Louie’s insistence that its not unusual for Pullman (an actor, to boot) to have…

Thanks for all this - read a bit more and yeah; clearly my anecdotal experience was way off. It honestly wasn’t until the prequels came out did it register with me THAT much and I was in my early 20's by then.

I’ll second Hush! I love horror movies where the protagonist is ACTUALLY INTELLIGENT. (The director/writer also wrote/directed Oculus, which also had refreshingly intelligent protagonists.)

So enlarged tonsils are one symptom of Tangier disease. Maybe that’s actually God’s attempt to give them gills.  

What makes you think he sees a reflection when he looks in the mirror?

If the producers didn’t get the idea for this from A Knight’s Tales’s Paul Bettany’s young, hip Chaucer I’ll eat my best cap.
