Don't know why they'd be worried, I think the National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes is a pretty cordial, un-litigious group.

Not sure where you are, but in the US, shots are 1.5 oz, so almost twice that - about 9 pints. quite a lot for an hour and a half, and maybe pushing alcohol poisoning for someone on the petite side.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer when I was like 4 or 5. I ran out of the room in terror when the Abominable Snowman appeared and refused to come back in the room. It's almost 40 years later and my family still give me shit about that every Christmas.

Absolutely true story of horrible people: I grew up in a small town, and there was a family that had two boys, and when the wife got pregnant again, she really, really wanted a girl. Of course, she had a boy. She named him Brick.

Their last name was Wall

The whole makeshift infection containment thing just seemed kind of pointless to me…wasn't there a refrigerator or freezer they could have shoved it in? didn't they have like a half an hour?

If he'd stuck with it a while longer, he would almost certainly end up cast opposite a love interest his granddaughter's age

Fun fact: Roger Moore is 2 years older than Sean Connery!

It was odd to have finally gotten around to watching the second episode of the Player right before this came on…a lot of deja vu with the ex-special forces guys turned jewel thieves/armored car robbers

Is it really beyond belief that this just isn't that great a movie, and the reviewer gave an honest, accurate review? You seem to have as many preconceptions about the reviewer as you claim he does about the film.

Um, it's 49% on Rotten Tomatoes (and those reviews were out before the box office) so I'd say only 51% of the secular press didn't think it was a good film, and of those, "hated it" and "ripped it to shreds" is a somewhat overstatement of their negative reviews - although the latter is an aptly literal description of

Cool, now I know how I'm spending my birthday!

I don't know about "most" overrated, but I did just throw in the towel at about page 250. I just didn't give a shit about any characters or anything that was happening.

Don't leave Rick & Morty off of that list of tremendous first seasons!

And it would be in their best interest, too. Instead of films that exclusively 'preach to the choir', a well-made, thoughtful film with some nuance in its central argument might even give them a chance to reel in a few converts

It's too bad for them, i suppose. If they keep throwing their money at films that are basically crap except for the message they are looking for, they aren't incentivizing anyone to bother to put any effort into doing anything better.

I just read that this movie was the second highest grossing of the weekend. Making 11 million on the first weekend on a 3 million budget. It makes me wonder, is there so little "faith-based" media that the crowd it appeals to will go to anything, regardless of quality? or does that crowd actually think this was a

A lot of it goes back to the overlap in the groups. I'm in the Seattle area, so there's a pretty big and open kink/alt lifestyle community, and a lot of people are pretty open about being kinky/poly/whatever. You meet some people at alternative clubs events, run into the same people at a party with a bunch of tech

I've been in several with a couple of SOs, mostly with my most recent. She was very bi, and our social circle is a cross section of poly/kink/gamer (there's a LOT of overlap in those groups!) so people were generally pretty cool. Flirtations at parties generally lead to future dates. Safer sex practices minimize risk

But they do care about victims, victims like poor Josh Duggar, exploited and seduced by pornography and forced to attempt* to find partners outside his marriage on the dirty, dirty internet.

I think you're probably right. If the porn pay-per-view was even a small amount of noticeable revenue for Hilton, they would still have it. I think instead it was more like "how much do we make from this stuff? $22.50 a month? Sure, let's make the bible thumpers happy"
