Every shithead on Earth is surrounded by a ring of slightly less unpleasant people ready to go WHOA WHOA WHOA CALM DOWN HE WAS JUST FUNNIN at anybody challenging their behavior. Each of them in turn has their own cloud of assholes, and so on. At scale, this is known as religion.

we saw The Ring 2 in the theater Naomi Watts and her shitty kid are surrounded by the lousiest cgi deer just staring in the car window at the kid trying to be spooky but the cgi is too crap to convey it and I just yell I WILL TAKE THE BOY I WILL SHOW HIM THE WAYS OF THE FOREST

Name your fav unintentionally hilarious moment in a film.

If you have a friend who supports trump, no you don't.

This is what I keep thinking of: fuckin Julius in Jason Takes Manhattan tossing giant lefts into a frankenstein's head while the we all just go "come on man"

CENTCOM maximising the likelihood US strikes change Iranian policy by carefully wrapping every missile fired in copies of the latest newspaper articles detailing how these are the last of a rapidly dwindling, difficult to replace stockpile and the US absolutely cannot keep this up much longer.

TUTORIAL TEXT: Press L3 to activate your Lesbian Vision to determine how many fingers to use. MY AAA GIRLFRIEND: That’s too many fingers. TUTORIAL TEXT: She didn’t like that. Try using L1 and R1 to increase or decrease the number of fingers. MY AAA GIRLFRIEND: That’s not enough fingers.

MY AAA GIRLFRIEND: C’mere baby. I want you. *time stops* *VFX outline shimmers around her yellow underwear* ME, THINKING: I think she wants something, but what? *2 seconds later* ME, THINKING: Her underwear seems important. *2 seconds later* ME, THINKING: I bet I can interact with her underwear.

This happened 15 years ago with Snooki from Jersey Shore. The publishing industry cut back on advertising to increase profits, relying instead upon authors' existing platforms to do the heavy lifting. But when that platform isn't targeted AT readers, you get colossal flops like this and Snooki's.

“Bad news for publisher HarperCollins: The book-buying subset of MrBeast fans appears to be vanishingly small. Two people close to the project say The Most Dangerous Games is on track to be a historic bomb…”

Anyway, Brian Eno said it best:

nah burning hands and go over it like a powerwasher the fan shape helps you get under the lip of the cauldron

Disney Prime is saddened at the passing of actor, singer, sewer clown, butler, wildlife documentarian and concierge Tim Curry. Tim never married and had no children but is survived by millions of twinks who dress as him once a week to help keep a struggling independent cinema afloat.

Screw you, future archaeologists. We don’t owe you shit.

I know exactly why, poindexter. It’s because it looks cool as fuck

GERALT: Hhh. Seven Monster cans. Empty. And a diet Dr Pepper. If you're lucky, you've got a pack of small gamers. VILLAGE HEADSMAN: And...and if we're not lucky? GERALT: One really big one.

Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: A chief technology officer is worried about keeping his spreadsheets private.

That intro was such a vital piece of character building. It shows you that he's achieved perfect lurk/wife balance.

“But if death comes for me peacefully and I fade gently from light into dark oblivion, why would I be afraid of it? Sometimes, I rather think it would be a comfort.” - Thank you for everything, Tim Curry 😭 💔

All that for Shittier Wawa

Is everybody hurt, is anyone okay?

Name a weird film more people should watch.

This is the crux of it. You do not argue that this should be permitted unless you think there's *something* valuable in it. These people don't advocate for hiring young earth creationists into a paleo departments! They don't argue for the hiring of alchemists into chemistry labs!

Christina Holland@mortalwombat.info · 2w ago

I think the thing the racist prof defenders imply but don't like to admit is there's no benefit to hiring/debating a guy who says mushrooms are created by fae because it's obviously silly but they do think it's worth your time to debate a race science guy because they think he's partially correct

Rockstar raises generations of kids to appreciate Crimes and then gets shitty over some light hacking? Get serious, Rockstar.

Ansel Adams on assignment for IBM - one of my favourite shots. Not the usual landscape but the skill of a woman weaving magnetic core memory. The beat up nails captures total “woman in STEM” vibes.

It's me, a Telegraph columnist, taking a break screaming bloody murder about fairness in the women's sports I wouldn't be caught dead watching to wax lyrical about academic integrity in sociology, a field I consider to be fake, at institutions I consider to be communist indoctrination centers.
