Jack Dawson was from Chippewa Falls. ‘da Vinci’ means ‘from Vinci’.

Women also go to the movies.

If they’re all like ‘The Zombie King’, a movie of his from 2013 that I once heard two guys discussing on a train, that’s because they’re all shit. These guys knew the director, and it sounded like production was a totally grim/hilarious low budget shit show. Like, genuinely sounded like the plot of a wry British…

There was also that one video last year of TayTay and some friends with sparklers that Tumblr gossip detectives said showed Tom Hiddleston cuddling a dude in the background and was SWIFTLY (geddit) deleted when people asked questions. I doubt we will get similar videos of dubious cuddling this year and that’s a damn…

If you’re having difficulty telling them apart, just remember that Alden Ehrenreich is the one with screen presence and charisma.

According to Wikipedia, it’s believed that Dali may have only ever masturbated for sexual pleasure due to his fear of being touched, so in the unlikely even that this woman does turn out to be his daughter, we’ll know for sure that he got the P in the V on at least one occasion.

This story is presumably what inspired the whole Ambrosio/Matilda subplot in The Monk, which I’ve tried to summarise here several times and can’t because it’s far too convoluted. Suffice to say, everyone should read The Monk, it’s huge amounts of fun.

It’s my life’s mission to comment on anything I see related to Taylor Swift and/or Karlie Kloss with #kaylorisreal so - #kaylorisreal. I don’t even like either of them I just once found a Tumblr which laid out all the evidence for it and now it’s just so obvious.

I am very confused about this Rebel Wilson thing. Is the upshot that the only thing they published which was actually false was the claim she lied? Isn’t the ‘family history’ thing her claim that she’s related to Walt Disney when she’s actually not and that was only ever a story her grandmother told her which she…

‘My atoms love your atoms’ and Karlie forgot to finish the caption which should say ‘but my heart and mind love Taylor Swift’ #kaylorisreal

Regarding Corbyn’s policies, the most useful comparison I’ve seen was from a Norwegian man living in the UK, who was perplexed as to why the British press was screaming about Corbyn being a dangerous communist when his stance would be unremarkably centre left in Scandinavia. So think about how the Scandy countries…

Well we all know where she learned that kind of behaviour.

I’m British too, I know about Sadiq Khan. I like him a lot, I’m a bit of a Corbynista so I don’t agree with him on everything, but I think he’s a great mayor and a decent guy.

(Did you mean US in that first comment or have I completely misread what we’re talking about?)

And they only know who Sadiq is because Trump has tweeted nonsense about him on multiple occasions.

Surely the fact that both France and the UK have experienced terrorist attacks like this shows that neither model is at fault. Saying it was wrong for people to blame the French assimilationist model for not stopping terrorist attacks in your country and then turning round and blaming our multiculturalism model for…

I think the key thing here is “the king’s image is not supposed to be deployed for commercial purposes.” It sounds like that’s more of an issue than any disrespect or mockery, and that’s fair enough tbh.

I saw this in my Kinja notifications and thought it was someone saying ‘Yep that happened’ sarcastically until I saw that you were the OP. Was fully getting ready to argue the point.

Another detail about the blind auditions - I seem to remember reading that for the first orchestra that tried it, the proportion of women being hired went up again when they told women not to wear heels to auditions - even when they couldn’t see who was auditioning, the panel could hear heels as they walked in/out and…

On Hannibal, and now on American Gods, Bryan Fuller always makes a point of adding more women to male-heavy stories - Hannibal had a few gender-swapped characters, and he’s beefed up the stories of female characters in American Gods (especially Laura Moon). He makes a conscious point of doing it. But I don’t see…
