Your premise is inherently flawed. Sure, both narrative film and sports tell a story and have conflict, but it’s the scripted, controlled, and contrived nature of film that makes it art and sports not. Sports are objective and skill based while films are purely expression based.

Some might say the purpose of art is to…

I am not at all interested in seeing a slight variation of the same game being played yet again for the many-thousandth time while cheering for some team simply because they happen to be the nearest geographically collocated team.

For that reason, I’ll never understand anyone who loves film and television but shudders at the idea of a sporting event.

Even if you position it as “fiction,” if a reasonable person would view it as a statement of fact, that can serve as the basis of a defamation claim. Here, this was positioned as a “true story” with some wiggle room, so I think a reasonable viewer could absolutely have assumed that was a factual statement about…

This guy is clearly a cop.

If you let the cops in, you’re basically giving them consent to search. There’s flavors and variations in laws. But one trick police will do is they will say, “Mind if I come in to talk?” and they’ll lean forward and angle their body as though it’s a foregone conclusion that you will let them in. That’s a sure sign…

I got a very painful condition known as Jumper’s Knee from playing too much beach volleyball. It sidelined me from any explosive exercise for six months, and still bothers me today - 10 years later.

why? why would i want an unseasoned layer of plant matter on top of an otherwise carefully planned and executed sandwich?

Unfortunately hotels have used the pandemic as an excuse to cut all kinds of things and have been pretty slow in bringing any of it back.

I’m the opposite. Everything is awful and sometimes some low-stakes celebrity gossip can be a nice palate cleanser after reading about the new and exciting ways everything’s just burning down around us.

This one is funny to me!  I have no issues killing animals for meat or as pests, but possums are harmless outdoor roombas and killing them just means I have to pickup more dead animals and garbage. 

You write, “For example, setting no-kill traps and then relocating animals may seem compassionate, but according to the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA), it’s neither a permanent nor humane solution.”

possums are ugly but clean up all the bad stuff such as dead birds and snakes.

Similarly, I have 3 rules: Don’t lie to me; Don’t beat on me; and Don’t cheat on me. Break any of those and you can just move on down the road. Most anything else is negotiable.

Step 1: Don’t be dating me.

Same. And I know she feels the same and I’m glad of it.

While I do respect the idea of second chances, if my wife cheats on me, it’s game over. 

Just a thought but maybe, oh I dunno.... start writing scripts that actually work in the run time of *a movie* rather than limited run TV show? Good lord Infinity War only ran 2 hours 40 and while Endgame was 3 hours that was the *one* movie that could definitely get away with it considering the obvious demand. It’s…
