Yeah, I guess the end is here
Dang lady you did not have to SHAME US ALL SO with your Tennyson-like succinctness and congruity. Ok, I’m glad you did. But still.
This is so good. Making a competent short film is a whole lot harder than it looks. This one nails it.
The 1970s French version is good, but the American version of The Birdcage is such a great film. And I say that as someone who rarely enjoys farces.
That movie is just absolutely fun from end to end and never makes a false move. I was shocked by how much I liked it when I watched it soon after it came out. The casting choices were just perfect, and the chemistry between Nathan Lane and Robin Williams was unbeatable.

Random but what sorority life taught me was that being relatively attractive is mostly a matter of
– healthy weight
– normal hair color/length
– no crazy tattoos/piercings
– dress in normal, flattering clothes
– have friends who do the sameGenetics are such a small part of it https://t.co/aCVAkRJcrr

Women have an easier time of it, but so few make an effort (or even an anti-effort with tattoos) and then complain they can’t bag that 0.01% dude they “deserve.”
Nearly any woman can be a 7 by doing the things Allie mentions — that is, be thought attractive by 95% of men and 60% of women she meets (women have higher standards). All most men care about as far as what will attract them1 is that you’re not fat, don’t have tons of disfiguring tattoos, dress flatteringly, and don’t act like an absolute freak in public.
That so many women — supposedly the “emotionally intelligent” gender — fail to understand that or even deny it outright is pretty amusing and mystifying. Though I do think it’s cosmic justice that the horrible tattoos many women get means those top 0.01% men won’t even look once at them, much less twice. Did that to yourself, ladies. Live with it.

Correct. The “famine” in Gaza was fake. Ginned up to gain world sympathy. Meanwhile, the remnants of Hamas are executing people in the streets of Gaza. You know, totally normal stuff. If you’re a jihadi terrorist loser that is.

That thing is pretty damn chilling. Though it’s physiologically utterly implausible, it works on screen. I also like how they incorporated a little physical comedy into its methods and interactions. That is rare in anything that tries to be as serious as Alien: Earth does.
