I’m being entirely serious. I rarely go to concerts these days because ticket prices just seem insane to me now. Taylor’s not my cup of tea but I think playing a 3 hour show packed with everything her fans want makes the cost seem a little more reasonable. A couple years back, I saw The Cure and their set was over 3…

Britain’s defamation laws being what they are, the guardian is going to be a little more introspective when editing op-ed’s, as dramatic flourishes might actually cost them money.

Hey, those dream kitchens of hers don’t come cheap...

Slagging off Netflix appears to be the new l0w-hanging-fruit sport for everyone since they made the apparently unforgiveable decision of raising their monthly price by five bucks. I will never understand it. For years, Netflix was pretty much the only place you could get a decent streaming selection of both good…

It’s paywalled, but The Wrap’s piece on this is good. Of that $150 million she was asking for, a full $80 million would have been “above the line” costs for the actors, directors, writers, etc. Netflix has to pay more upfront because they don’t do residuals.

Thor: Love and Thunder was basically a $250 million rom-com.

I’ve seen several stories like this one which make it sound as though it was obvious the boy had a gun but the school administrators did nothing, but the AP article says the boy’s bag was searched and the gun wasn’t found. If that’s the case, then where did it come from? Was he hiding it under clothes, like a baggy…

Even better question -

Eh I will stick with the “you must remember this” podcast for my lurid old Hollywood gossip. This film sounds exhausting but it does make me want to finally watch whiplash. I LOLd at the mention of an avatar reference. I still don’t understand why Disney made a second one and felt it would be well received. 

In their defense (and I can’t believe I’m typing that), they at least make comedies. Even a bad comedy is usually easier to enjoy than whatever Blonde was...and I say that as someone who will never willingly watch a Kevin James movie but who tried to sit through Blonde.

Adam Sandler and Kevin James keep making terrible movies for so many reason$.

He could have made it and said nothing and let the critic/fan duality argue out the merits but like every auteur he has got some opinions.

Listen, I love a biopic. The messier the better, ok? But this movie was TORTUOUSLY BAD and I say that as someone who regularly rewatches that “The Jacksons: An American Dream” miniseries recreationally. 

I’ve given it 14 seconds of thought and came up with this scenario:

* Football player, having gotten away with/been vindicated from whatever he is alleged to have done, decides to get some coffee
* Katie Meyer is there, having just gotten her coffee
* She sees him and yells at him/confronts him
* Football player starts…

Something is really off about this story. The L.A. Times is reporting it an an unwanted kiss and that she spilled the coffee while riding her bike.

I mean, unless they are trying to say that she charged in on her bike like a jouster with a lance and threw coffee on him at 25mph, it seems pretty easy to write that off…

If he didn’t want it, he wouldn’t have been hanging out in a coffeehouse, especially at that time of day.  

I am pretty sure Stanford was trying to send the message that they definitely sanctioned him whining about trivial bullshit.

First, did Stanford ever ask what this football player was doing in public? Why wasn’t he home studying or in class? If he’d been where he was supposed to be, instead of out with his friends, he wouldn’t have gotten coffee spilled on him. Assaults never happen at home or in class, and he should have known that.

I’m convinced rapists must love being admitted to Stanford. 

From the same campus that brought you Brock Turner comes this absolute bullshit.
