I’m definitely seeing it again - the only bummer is that the official “I am Kenough” hoodie won’t start shipping until after the movie has left theaters, so when mine comes in I’m organizing a girls night in to watch it on whatever streaming service it lands on.

The very thought of Ben Platt as a Ken makes me nauseous... but Cera played Allan so well that I can’t imagine Groff in the role, as much as I love him.

Seems like awfully suspicious timing, given The Meg 2 hits theaters in two weeks...

Having seen it this weekend: No you cannot. The sound mixing is pretty bad in places.

Seriously - they don’t get paid to audition, but you gotta audition to get paid, so a high day rate for the actual working days makes perfect sense.

I’ve already created a plan for Saturday. I’m a huge fan of Cillian Murphy and also of Greta Gerwig, and normally I might’ve spread the viewings out by a weekend or two, but Barbenheimer is such a fun concept that I can’t resist.

We need scientists to develop and show us the supporting evidence/details as to why it’s bad. Saying “it’s bad because logically of course it is” is not a great argument. Knowing that sea life declined by a whopping 43% vs some indefinite number (that can be imagined to be smaller by pro-mining lobbyists) is important.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve started writing a hot-take comment and had to stop myself to google whether my assumption was actually true, then abandon the comment because my entire premise was proven wrong. Happened just five minutes ago. I love seeing people be so confidently wrong, but I hate when it’s me.

NO a/c during a historic heat wave?? Not even the tiny trickle we’re used to during tarmac delays? I want to know if that was the pilot’s bone-headed decision or a Delta policy (or secret policy).

My guess is standard-issue road rage, but drugs could certainly be involved too.

I ... wasn’t aware we transported human waste in large quantities on public roads. Apparently the company that owns the truck (H.I. Stone & Son, according to the AP article) drills and maintains wells... maybe they were coming from a septic tank job? Any other ideas as to why we’d ever need to cart human shit around?

I did not literally assume that citations are issued equally - my comment was rhetorical and intended to make the point that they aren’t.

Drowning is the method of dying I’m most afraid of. Suffocation generally, but specifically drowning. I physically recoiled at the headline of this article... I feel terrible for them and their families.

Genius idea, honestly, assuming they’re issuing citations to elected officials and cops along with the rest of us.

Ah, there’s your issue. Jalopnik is a blog. They’re not held to the same standards as (sorry, Jal team!) “real” journalists.

You’re incorrect about the 19-year-old. He applied to Guinness before the dive because he wanted to be on record as the first person to solve a Rubik’s cube at the bottom of the ocean. (Guinness turned down his application but he decided to go anyway.) His mother gave an interview a week or two ago where she says he…

He wasn’t arrested. Re-read the article.

Is it relevant?

She paid her own way through college without loans and bought a house just 3 years later? HOW? I’m begging you to explain what jobs she had that made all that possible without any parental help at all.
