I vaguely remember a tornado from when I was at Tyrell, which would've been in the mid to late 80s, when we had to all sit in the hallway like you said, but I can't remember any others. My parents mentioned a storm from 1983-ish where there was a tornado outbreak that did a bunch of damage.

Wasn't that the name of the town in Buffy, the Vampire Slayer? The hellmouth?

That's awesome. Congrats to your friend.

Someone in a Vulture article posted that link but yeah, their Trustpilot page is inconsistent at best. And I'm pretty sure most of the reviews on that particular jacket are fake. Very American names with very questionable grammar and wording.

I got you, fam.

The least believable part of this movie was that Aaron Taylor-Johnson was the movie star and Gosling was the faceless background guy. They've been doing these in Austin for a while - I remember seeing Stepbrothers in the theater when my oldest was a baby and he's about to turn 16. But yeah, it's a great idea. This was one of the most fun movies I've ever seen. My son and I both loved it, and yes, I made him listen to me belt out Against All Odds on the way home. Definitely worth seeing in a theater if you can. The Drafthouses in Austin still have a ton of showtimes.

I would've categorized her first movie the same way. I didn't know she was trans until this movie came out and it does shine a light on some of the storytelling aspects of World's Fair, but I still wouldn't watch it again. I'll take your advice about streaming TV Glow. Wow, you're right. I had to look her up to make sure they weren't related.

The trailer looks great, but I thought Jane Schoenbrun's other movie, We're All Going to the World's Fair, was one of the most boring things I've ever seen. It had a super high rating on RT and I usually agree with the critics so I'm a little wary of this one, but I'll probably catch it on streaming.

Put her pop career first. Did the Pitch Perfect sequels and some other lesser-known stuff, like Dickinson. Good call. She had a small part in Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl that she knocked out of the park, well before her House of the Dragon days. I submit Zendaya. Reminds me of Jesse Plemons how she nails every (very versatile) role she's ever taken in her post- pop-TV time.

We really enjoyed it, too. Kathryn Newton is turning into quite the indie horror actress moving into mainstream. And I agree that keeping the vampire reveal out of the theaters would've made the reveal that much more interesting, but I can see how it would make marketing difficult. On a tangential note, and one about a movie I haven't seen yet, but one I plan to see when I can: I read an interview with Yorgos Lanthimos about his latest movie that debuted at Cannes, and it starts with the interviewer saying "you mentioned Caligula as an inspiration for this", so that should be a fucked-up ride even for YL.

Cannot echo this enough. And they are starting to produce some great original content, like Late Night With the Devil and You'll Never Find Me.

This was so dumb and fun. They don't stick the landing 100%, but my 12-yo (who loves YouTubers, of course) and I were picking up what they were putting down. It's like Blair Witch for this generation, with more comedy.

He's in it for all of 15 minutes and steals the show. As is typical for Jesse Plemons.

Sky is yellow in Milwood and getting boomy. Just doped up the dogs.

Ok. So she's a dog.

S1 or S2? I thought S1 was great but this article does make some good points: "Them" is Pure Degradation Porn I'm halfway through S2 and liking it a lot.

Just got back from the theater and wow. My son and I both thought it was amazing, but I don't think the trailer gives you a good idea of the movie itself, which is much more bleak. My degree is in journalism and this movie had me thinking about the photo from the Sudan in 1993 of the child and the vulture. The photographer, Kevin Carter, won the Pulitzer for it and took his own life a few months later. It re-ignited the whole debate about objectivity in journalism and what the role of journalists is in volatile situations. Are they just there to document and record, or do they step in and try to help? My stance has always been that we are humans first and that journalism, as necessary as it is to a free state, is a job and comes second to helping people. I will grant that that is an idealistic position and I've never been a war reporter. I'll spoiler the next part. War renders all of this irrelevant. We all return to our base elements when we're knocked down several rungs in Maslow's hierarchy. Kirsten Dunst is fantastic at portraying someone who was raised in a world vastly different than the one she ends up living in. I hope she gets some recognition come awards season.

I posted about it in the "last movie you saw" thread, but my son and I watched this last weekend and we loved it. Not super historically accurate but very fun. The violence was pretty comical - reminded us of Bullet Train.

Ha, I had the exact same thought about it re the comparison to Ready or Not. We definitely still enjoyed it, though.

Oh yeah, this one's amazing. I think it's the longest break I've ever seen. Poor Heidi Gardner kept apologizing the next day but it's so damn funny.

My favorites are ones where they break. I have these two bookmarked for when I need a pick-me-up.

This is how I felt, too. It's not bad but Conan Without Borders seems a lot more genuine. The Haiti episode is awesome and reminds me of the No Reservations Beirut episode.

Some of it's gross and some of it's gorgeous. Ooty is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The city roads can be terrifying - somewhere I have a video from when my coworker and I took an auto-rickshaw through the streets of Bangalore and ever time I watch it I just hear circus music playing in my head. And re: the weather, Bangalore's weather in the summer is shockingly wonderful. I was there for two weeks in July and the highest it got was 80 F. That said, I haven't been to Delhi but I have an American friend who lived there for a long time with her Indian husband and yeah, it doesn't sound like somewhere I'd want to live, between the weather and now dumpster fires.

I think Cruel Summer has my favorite bridge of any of her songs, and that's saying something because I love her. "He looks up grinning like the devil"

Jinkxs Monsoon from Drag Race does an amazing Little Edie impression.
