Disney: embracing creative bankruptcy to achieve the complete opposite fiscally.

Just had a vivid mental picture of Angelina Jolie LUNGING across a table to strangle George to death.

Parents. Parents asked for this. In this case, parents of at least one PG rated child, possibly celebrating a birthday or celebrating another kid’s birthday, and just trying to keep their shit together for two more damn hours.

Yeah, echoing what Patrick says, and adding: There’s kind of an internet echo chamber that assumes lack of interest from particularly internetty folks (who tend to be a bit more aware of reviews, buzz, wahtever) applies to the culture at large, and that just isn’t the case. By any metric we have (and granted, they are…

It was #4 worldwide for 2014. It grossed $757 million dollars on an estimated $180 million budget. Even if you limit the conversation to domestic gross, it was still #8 and beat out franchises like X-Men and Spider-Man. So to answer your question, there is a sequel because the first one was popular and profitable and…

But they should not be making this. Or Lion King. Or Dumbo.

This the end game of “the rich” on any societal problem.

You said it. The conservative faithful won’t buy the official explanation for a minute; they’ll be screaming for more watchlists/travel bans/deportations/public beheadings any minute now.

Dear Dude who did this,

You don’t really get or understand sarcasm do you?

You’re thinking of hipsters. Hipsters are really into fabric crafts and canning and compost toilets. Hipsters will survive the apocalypse on accident and be really unhappy about it, which is good because that’s really the only reasonable kind of reaction.

This is America. Buying stuff > learning stuff. What are you, some kind of nerd?

Great read. It hadn’t occurred to me that the balance would shift so dramatically - I mean, it should have, shame on me - but I do get a little kick out of how the gun vendors have lost their greatest sales tool. While at the same time, progressive folks start saying, “Shit, the world’s gonna be underwater, better…

What I find amusing is how many aging fat guys there are in these pictures. I’m equally tubby, but few years younger. Guys like me (and them) are dead meat in an apocalypse. 30 days into your survival of whatever happeneded and your blood pressure medicine runs out. Five days after that, the headaches start,…

What I’ve always found chilling about the prepper mentality as it’s commonly presented is the assumption that the collapse of our technological civilization is assumed to go hand in hand with the complete collapse of social norms. You’re talking about guys who get tunnel vision around the idea of defending their…

The best takeaway for me from this article is that a shocking percentage of prepper businesses are just now realizing that both sides of the political spectrum can be irrationally scared of a civilization ending event. And that alienating ~50% of the country with your whack-a-mole political ads/products can be bad for…

You know, I totally understand this mindset. Having lived in Utah for a few years, it really is easy to feel like the end is neigh. There are literally places that you can drive to in that state where, say if you ran out of gas unexpectedly, you may or may not ever get back to civilization (i.e. no cell signal, no…

Can we all just agree to meet on the day after the apocalypse and immediately storm the castles of these fucking assholes? Anyone read World War Z? The rich pricks who wall themselves off from everyone else get taken down in amazing fashion and if we’re all gonna die anyway, let’s at least eat these fuckers alive…

Serious oversight.

Shame! For no mention of the single scariest witch... Angelica Huston in Witches.
