I see your point, though “pope” is significantly different from prime minister in this instance; the only job of the prime minister is to be the head of government, while being the vatican’s head of state is probably a tertiary-at-best duty of the pope, after religious leader and inspirational figure.

“No publicity is bad publicity.” — Juicy Juice marketing head

The Illusionist and The Prestige both came out in 2006, and there were two Lambada movies released on the same day(!) in 1990. That’s all I got.

Sorry to hear this, my wife gets the same from her parents, but she has two siblings so the constant disappointment gets spread around. I think it has something to do with their identity/authority as parents; if the child is all grown up and successful, the parents are in one sense obsolete, so they have to continue…

Fun fact: The Dodgers have been paying a share of Matt Kemp’s salary ever since he left after the 2014 season, $25 million over three years. They were on the hook for $3.5 million a year for the next two years, too.

Catholic vote nationwide is mostly split, based on exit polling.

Nice piece. I’ve been reading LA Weekly since the mid-90s. Sad to see its slow decline accelerated by clueless rich jerks. It’s less that they want to turn news outlets into propaganda arms, though they do; it’s also that they benefit when the news in general can no longer be trusted. An uninformed populace is easier…

Exactly like that!

You mean to tell me this perv gets off on hallucinating a purple winged donkey?

Don’t give him any ideas!

I hate this because it means Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa will apparently never return to the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Afterlife with Archie comics.

Shame on you! All that Powder Milk Biscuit dust lining his airways made breathing difficult. Have some empathy.

Definitely Vanessa Hudgens said she did Sucker Punch at least partly because everyone told her she was too young to do an actioner.

I really enjoy the thought of Messi dumping a glass of spoiled milk over this thing’s head every morning.

I said this on another site, but my theory is that behind every story on unabashed Trump supporters is a white reporter or editor trying to fathom why their uncle/grandfather/stepmom continues to support him. This is a smaller demographic slice of pie, but a similar phenomenon. So you’re probably right.

You take that slander about Strawberry Short Kook back!

Love hearing the explosion of camera shutters as he engages that awkward sip.

Hey! Don’t kink-shame.

I can’t have an opinion about this until Hamilton Nolan weighs in.
