Do they have sad, lonely, hopeless little show boat lives or do they have intermissions?

It's also not a funny joke, because the cinematographer died...from a gunshot.

I’m a recovering film production manager, and so many things about this story give me flashbacks, but the main one is the “hurry up and fuck the safety meeting” mindset exhibited by the first assistant director, probably as a result of trying to meet an unrealistic schedule. This is why that shit matters. https://www.hollywoodreport...

So who's peddling the t-shirts stating 'Guns don't kill endangered species; Don & Eric T***p kill endangered species' with a picture of the two reputedly male spawn of TFG's pasty loins pictured with their trophy?

Well, yes. But I'm sure that the MAGAts will assume that she was a Dem, and that might likely be true, because "Hollywood". So THAT makes then even happier.

Both "John Barron" and Barron T***** are likely named for Barron's, the business magzine owned by Dow Jones & Company, owner of the WSJ, all owned by NewsCorp (Murdoch)

There is another place where there is a lack of responsibility.The United States of America and its storytelling.

NO other country has lionised the gun as much as the US of A, from the Revolution to the Civil War to the cowboys killing "indians" in reality and in boys' games, to the other wars that have been forught by the US of A and usually killing loads of innocent civilians, AND, in particular Hollywood and their ilk....Westerns, war movies, gangster movies, police shows, and any other shows that feature GUNS GALORE.

THAT is the main reason. Do we REALLY need any MORE FUCKING WESTERNS?Do we REALLY need any MORE FUCKING WAR MOVIES?Do we REALLY need any MORE FUCKING GANGSTER MOVIES?Do we REALLY need any MORE FUCKING POLICE SHOWS?

Think about it people, and don't give me any "but are freedumbs" excuses like the reich-wing.

As a progessive liberal, I'll never let go of Kennedy's killing of a young woman. He got off because his rich family could buy off all the pertinent authorites. Money should not trump consequence, even for Democrarts.

But they'll all still be living on Earth, in utopias like Soylent Greenspace.

And yet, I am also fat, and pretty much been that way for 50-some years, and I am on YOUR side. These people deserve the derision.And for what's it's worth if you called ME fat, you'd be EXACTLY RIGHT.

Lots of people won't believe something without verifying it themselves. I actually do read the research papers that headlines tout about some new health info for instance as I want to make sure that what the headline says is not selectively parsing out info.

I consider it real journalism. Which TBH even though we are here for the recipes it is nice to see that there is some effort shown towards providing the link to something so we can see for ourselves if we want.

I wouldn't click that link as I don't want to get my browser (and brain) dirty.
