Well it finally happened- my wife LEFT me because sheās tired of being married to a pathetic loser who spends his day being cyber bullied by teens (not to mention hanging out in the garage meticulously arranging his matryoshka dolls into Jan. 6 poses). She wants a REAL MAN, and who can blame her??
Guys please donāt make fun of me - i only made $120k writing this spider man book, and itās barely enough to cover a year of my daughterās private school. Plus my cybertruckās doors fell off and i was told i cant return it. I am DROWNING in debt and this kind of abuse isnāt helping!!
Ben Turpin receiving a pie in the face courtesy of a baker in MR FLIP (1909). Often erroneously cited as the first movie pie-ing but pies had been wielded in films since at least 1901. However, the film is fun for its message: Turpin annoys women, they use the tools of their trade to fight back.
"Cher and her father Mel are both kooks who think theyāre the baseline for determining normalcyālike everyone else in the movie, really. All great comedies have this in common, and Clueless is one of them."ā I got to write about a movie that I absolutely adore www.rogerebert.com/features/eve...
Yes, challenges like the one i have with my cybertruck! Plus, my father-in-law just stuck me with 1700 counterfeit Labubus that i canāt unload. Would you PLEASE have a heart and consider contributing to my kickstarter??? Most expensive tier makes the main character married to whoever you want
My daughter is entering the workforce now in the next couple years and my advice to her has been mainly "if they tell you they're a family... run." I mean, seriously, who the fuck wants to work at a business that's run like a family? Like Leatherface's family? Manson's? Addams'? What family?
Quick Pola Negri film recommendations thread! Negri started her career in her native Poland, became a star in Germany as a Lubitsch leading lady, and was imported to Hollywood. She could do drama, farce, rom-coms, anything, really, and she did it extremely well.
So is crypto and AI going to consume so much power that it wipes out all of our collective efforts to conserve at a consumer level over the last few decades (habits like keeping AC a little warmer, switching to LEDs, Energy Star appliances)? It's hundreds of terawatt-hours...
"Supermanās most poignant fantasy [is] the idea that modern journalism, in an era when what the truth is has become a matter of tribalism, can still take down a powerful oligarch. Easier to believe a man can fly." @alisonwillmore.bsky.social www.vulture.com/article/supe...

Next month's theme is Now a Major Motion Picture! I will be looking at silent films that were NOT adapted from novels, short stories or plays. Instead, we will be diving into silents based on comic strips, poetry, fine art, postcards, popular music and more!
I'm told today's Meta settlement coming out of Board's insurance fund (FT first reported), not the pockets of defendants Zuckerberg, Thiel, Andreessen, et al. ā who now can avoid taking the stand for a sum that's been described to me as being in the hundreds of millions. It was a $8B investor suit.
I don't think there should be any question that Colbert is the most brilliant man ever to sit behind a desk at a late night talk show. Seriously, watch this clip. As an extemporaneous speaker, he can't be beat. And the depth of his intellect is undeniable.
āWriters are so used to being paid late that whenever it does happen, a lot of us donāt even notice. But in my case, Guild staff noticed and called me to initiate a claim. This process taught me to stand up for myself the next time I am paid late because I know that the Guild has my back.ā
In case thereās any doubt in the wake of Superman, James Gunn confirms that the DC Universeās take on Clayface is a horror film. āAlthough itās in the same universe, itās a complete horror filmā Gunn told CBS Mornings: www.tiktok.com/@cbsmornings...
