Joe has them on, too,


Sorry, no. I should have said "podcasts hosted tv and movie stars." Joe is famous for his podcast. Amy Poehler is a TV and movie star who happens to have a podcast, and is someone whom the Globes would like to have in attendance.
Just learning that the very silly-looking Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is directed by Gore Verbinski. I guess it will be 2.5 hours long...
The Princess and the Frog
Hard Times - Walter Hill boxing period piece with Charles Bronson
Focus - Will Smith's best movie
Walk on the Wild Side - brothel film with Barbara Stanwyck and bruery young Jane Fonda
Obsession - '70s De Palma
The Mechanic
12 Rounds - early John Cena movie going for standard Statham junk food
Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon - deeply weird and fun indie starring Kate Hudson
Always for Pleasure - Les Blank doc. Much of his work is set in and around New Orleans

ETA: Tchoupitoulas - very cool, nontraditional doc that ostensibly follows a kid around a night on the streets of downtown New Orleans

Pure political bullshite in that case.


Or podcasts featuring famous people they want in attendance at an award show...

People famous for media outside of their respective podcasts.

The coolest thing is she’s not going to be slowing traffic.


Quick reminder that the pro small government dudes who said everyone even suggesting Charlie Kirk had gross politics should be fired and shamed are the same people who think a woman shot by law enforcement for partially blocking one lane of traffic was both deserved and "cool." And if you don't agree with them you're the a-hole.

"If they're not on my inaginary team, they deserve to be killed by my government." You guys are so cool.

In reverse. Turning the steering wheel away from him. As shown on the shooter's own cell phone footage. Linked in the op.

Promoting his travel show on HBO is TDS? You guys ever worry that the actual TDS is your Trump dick sucking?

Robin Hood and his merry gang of outlaws were, much like the trailer featured above, accused of being violent brigands.


This idea was fine 15 years ago, but not fine now?
Each of the three so far are extremely different in tone and style.

It took me half the second book to finally wrap my head around what was happening. It was definitely a case of whiplash after the more straight-forward and comedic Gideon the Ninth.
Little, Big is fantastic if you can stick with writing style.

I have not read that Muir novella, but the three novels of her Locked Tomb series so far released are very good. Her characters have strong voices, which can become bruery aggressive in the dialogue. As in, the characters get close to be too annoying for some. I know this has turned off at least one friend from her work.

This is a Noriega type of situation. He was using drug cartels to gain and keep power, while allowing them to use his country's infrastructure and resources to smuggle drugs into the US.


Then why don't we care about Colombia or Mexico? Why did he pardon the president of Honduras, convicted of drug trafficking?



The drugs thing does not pass any sniff test.

Maybe there’s just too much? Or less interest in another girl boss movie?


Remember how defensive you got last week when a poster suggested some people here will call any female hero content girl power woke stuff?

After Jumanji 4 and The Mandalorian and Grogu!


Why would this be an insult? The Jumanji movies each got close to a billion dollars. Grogu cost a ton and is based on a pair of "beloved" characters. It should have much higher box office expectations than a modestly budgeted Supergirl.

Are you and stout and others like you guys so deeply worried that if you don't post the dumbass articles or Twitter reactions that someone else will, and you won't maintain your elite status as a dumbass ragebait reposter? Is it a hyper-competitive community?

Watching something of substance that’s educational on a screen is better than reading smut.


The idea that those of us who are learned and cool are only reading nonfiction and watching documentaries so that we can learn more is fricking stupid. It is a lie. We all read "garbage" for fun. Romance isnt all porn, just like sci-fi isn't all escapist nonsense.

How about this? Reading garbage romance is far better than using your screen time to shite on someone for the perceived/assumed quality of what they are reading. The former is reading, an objectively "good" pastime. The latter is being a twat for no reason, and it cannot in any way improve the quality of your life

Why make a teaser then saying he would return ?


Every MCU movie has ended with "So and so will return in..." They're using familiar language to tease the core avengers, not just dudes coming back from the dead.

This isn't my opinion. Thor has had a movie since Endgame. He's never been out of the MCU picture.
