I always thought that scene was hillarious. It’s the age-old siren song — people always flock to meteorology for the obscene money and glory.

Lol at the guy on a website specifically so he can cheat on his wife saying “You can’t trust anyone anymore.”

Tracy Flick is not the villain of Election, she is only the villain to Matthew Broderick’s character, who is very clearly the one who is in the wrong and is thoroughly punished for his misdeeds. This is not some secret, subtextual reading - it is the explicit plot of the film. Flick wins, Broderick loses, justice is…

When exactly did the government mandate the killing of small hatchbacks and sedans?

No, the manufacturers are run by shortsighted people who chase quarterly profits. The government didn’t have much at all to do with it.

The government didn’t mandate that Ford kill off all of its affordable offerings. Ford was simply following the cynical “build less, charge more” pricing model that a number of car manufacturers thought they could get away with in the wake of pandemic supply chain issues.

Jon Snow’s story is finished. He wasn’t all that interesting as a character even when he was a recently resurrected secret heir to the Seven Kingdoms and the Chosen One who would single-handedly defeat the White Walkers.

Both Japan and Korea also have the problem of men having ‘traditional’, deeply sexist ideas of what they want their relationships to be, and women like having their own careers and money, and don’t want to be abused housewives like their mothers were. That’s in addition to the fact that they can’t really afford it…

Have we considered just learning to live with lower birth rates until the world gets back down to the less crowded four-five billion again? Apart from anything else, it’d be better for the planet and for the workforce who would be able to get paid more again.

The top grossing film of 2023 was Barbie, dude

So is this basically the 70s version of The WNUF Halloween Special?

I’m no fan of the monarchy or the royal family, but waiting a few weeks to tell the entire world that you have cancer, giving your young kids a little bit of time to process it privately, all while the jackals on social media are making up conspiracy theories... seems fair to me.

In this case, part of it might be to actually adapt the book, rather than  take some bits and pieces of it and then run off in some random direction.

Idk, there’s potential justification for a Neverending Story remake considering the book’s author loathed the original.

Does McGregor at any point inform Gyllenhaal that he once fucked guys like him in prison?

How much more Snyder could it be?

“That’s everybody though, you and me, everyone has a form of unconscious bias.”

Stick with me here... The malice isn’t in the intent, but in the ignorance of the assumption.

So, she mentions up front that she was from the Pilot’s Association International.

Are you saying that who she was representing was not on the agenda for the hearing? Are you saying that whoever prepped these questions just saw that it was a woman representing the Pilot’s Association, and automatically assumed that…

“I don’t know why I said that”
