Multiplicity is one movie I just can't seem to find, ever. And I really liked it in the 90s.
 
@Jack V Savage for what's worth I'm getting people I know IRL hitting me up for information on these Child Tax Credits.

And in my responses I'm letting them know about the Unemployment tax forgiveness

Steven Crowder lol

I was legit surprised that douche was really an austere religious conservative given that he's a provocateur. I suspect his first 25 years of celibacy were not voluntary, though. Maybe he decided to don the celibacy bit once he got famous.

They also all started pivoting to serving alcohol and delivering food to your seats.... they know it's about the experience and not just the movies these days.

I'm hoping COVID kind of has a rebound effect on the industry where everyone wants to go out to do everything after this past year including movies

I agree. It has to have a luxury outing or it’s just not worth it. I think there is still a place for it as a modified experience. Shrinking niche market though.

True, but I hate renting these days. I already pay for 4 different streaming services, and I pretty much only use one a month. This month I'm watching The Americans on Prime, last month it was something else on Hulu. Netflix is the most useless out of them all, but every now and then I find something.
 
I take garbage pictures thanks to my phone but this tenderloin with a beautiful pan gravy came out delicious. Picked up some flash fried Brussel sprouts from across the street for the side to compliment the roasted potatoes.

@AgonyandIrony You'd be well served to read this article by a more successful comedian on how your debauchery and low ways are not the right path forward.
As anyone who’s read my abstinence column here could guess, my wedding is something that I’ve looked forward to for quite some time. After having tied the knot at the end of August, I can now say beyond all shadow of a doubt, that it was everything I’d hoped and prayed that it would be since childhood. (I’d also prayed to be bitten by a radioactive spider and develop sticky hands, but… I was an idiot.)

Let me preface this column by saying this: my wife (I have to get used to saying that) and I not only waited sexually in every way (no, we didn’t pull the Bill Clinton and technically avoid “sex” sex,) but we didn’t shack up as live-ins and most importantly, we courted each other in a way that was consistent with our publicly professed values.

We did it right.

[pullquote]

Feeling judged? I couldn’t care less. You know why? Because my wife and I were judged all throughout our relationship. People laughed, scoffed and poked fun at the young, celibate, naive Christian couple.

We’d certainly never make it to the wedding without schtupping, and if we did, our “wedding night would be awkward and terrible,” they said.

Turns out that people couldn’t have been more wrong. Looking back, I think that the women saying those things felt like the floozies they ultimately were, and the men, with their fickle manhood tied to their pathetic sexual conquests, felt threatened.

I think it’s important to write this column not to gloat (though I’ll be glad to), but to speak up for all of the young couples that have also done things the right way. When people do marriage right, they don’t complain so much, and so their voices are silenced by the rabble of promiscuous charlatans, peddling their pathetic world view as “progressive.”

Our wedding was perfect. Our wedding night was nothing short of amazing. I write this on a plane heading into a tropical paradise with the most beautiful woman to have walked the planet earth. I know everybody says that their bride was the “most beautiful in the world.” They’re wrong. I win.

I’d like to tell you a story of our morning after, however. One that transpired into one of the most glaring epiphanies I’d ever had.

As my wife (again, still not used to that) and I ate breakfast at a local inn, we discussed how excited we were to start the rest of our lives together, how scary it was that everything was now so different. At the same time, we overheard the table next to us discussing their very own wedding from the night prior. What a coincidence!

“The thing is, nothing’s really changed,” the bride said.

Puzzled, my wife asked, “Did you get married last night too? So did we!”

“Congratulations!” the other dame said. “Yeah we did, just last night.”

“Where’s the groom?” my wife innocently… scratch that, naively asked.

“Oh, he’s sleeping. There was no way he was coming out with me this morning!” She paused and smirked. “Let’s just say that he’s got a lingering headache from a really good time last night.”

My heart sank. Firstly, that poor schmuck's “good time” was simply getting snookered. Not enjoying the company of close family and long-lost friends with a clear head and clean conscience, not staring in awe at his beautiful new wife, wanting to soak in every glimmer of her eyes as she shot him heart-racing looks from across the dance floor, not taking all of the cheesy pictures as they cut the cake, not even carrying her across that suite threshold as they nervously anticipated their “nightcap.” He probably won’t remember any of it. Instead, he got smashed. He was “that guy”… at his own freaking wedding.

Then I realized something. Our wedding was truly a once in a lifetime event. It was a God’s-honest celebration of two completely separate lives now becoming one. Physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually, everything that made us who we were individually was becoming what bonded us together. Our family traveled from far and wide to celebrate the decision of two young people to truly commit themselves to each other, and selflessly give themselves to one another in a way that they never had before that very night.

The people next to us that morning? Well, theirs was just one big party. And the morning after? Just another hangover.

Our “weddings” were the same event in name only. They know it, and we know it.

Do yours the right way. If you’re young and wondering whether you should wait, whether you should just give in, become a live-in harlot/mimbo and do it the world’s way. If you’re wondering whether all of the mocking, the ridicule, the incredible difficulty of saving yourself for your spouse is worth it, let me tell you without a doubt that it is. Your wedding can be the most memorable day and night of your life… or just another party.

Oops. Did I just make a “judgment?” You’re darn right I did.

Am I the last one to see this? I'm actually pretty surprised that a guy who has made his career off of being an immature, hate mongering jerk would also have this prudish religious conservative position.

Whether in terms of social commentary, comedy, or just stream of consciousness, this is one of the worst things I've ever read. Imagine having breakfast the morning after your wedding and still being bitter about other guys drinking and having lots of sex lol.

It's why Scorsese talked shit on Comic Book movies.

His style won't be in theaters for much longer. It will all be digital to homes and a few Landmark Theaters in the major cities

Just the stuff you "need to see in the Big Screen"
 
Oh! Forgot to post some cool history.
On this day, 9 March 1914, women battled police in Glasgow during Emmeline Pankhurst’s speaking tour of Scotland. The famous suffragette had been temporarily released from prison to nullify her hunger strike, but now the police sought to rearrest her so she would serve the remainder of her sentence. What they didn’t expect was an organised bodyguard. Pankhurst’s protectors had barbed wire concealed in flower bouquets and clubs concealed in dresses. Some had undertaken martial arts training, and they carried at least one gun. The Glasgow Herald reported that “Unparalleled scenes of disorder took place. The police stormed the platform and for several minutes a fierce struggle took place between them and Mrs Pankhurst’s supporters, several persons being injured. Flower pots and chairs were thrown at the constables, who were obliged to draw their batons. In the course of the mêlée the excitement was intensified by a woman firing several blank rounds from a revolver.”

If you want to read some badass stuff about women doing whatever it takes to get to vote (from bombings, to attacking that fat fucking pig Churchill with a whip, to opening a dojo to train in Jiu Jitsu) check this out.

Physical attacks also took place against politicians. One activist attacked Winston Churchill with a horsewhip. That same month, Selina Martin and Leslie Hall disguised themselves as orange sellers and attacked the Prime Minister’s car with catapults. In 1913 some suffragists plotted to kidnap the Home Secretary, Reginald McKenna, and it was reported that a plot was uncovered to kidnap Cabinet ministers and subject them to force-feeding. Private detectives were hired as a result to protect the ministers. In 1914 27-year-old suffragette Rhoda Fleming leap on the footboard of the king and queen's limousine in Perth, Scotland and tried to break its windows. The attempt was described in the press as "perhaps the most daring that has occurred in the history of the women's suffrage agitation".

Why do you not attach the same requirements to market income? "If poor people get more money, they might spend it wrong," is an argument that should apply equally to all income sources. Also, last time you were defending the Kansas law that also prevented money from being spent at movie theaters and swimming pools. Poor kids should learn to buckle down, I guess. If they wanted to watch movies and swim, they should have picked richer parents.

You will never get around the entertainment need. When development organizations were talking about getting people above of world poverty of $$1 or $2, they found that it had to be more because even at that level, people would divert resources to entertainment. Even cavemen need to live a little.

I think @PolishHeadlock2 makes a good point. I don't enjoy Goodfellas (at all) and I do like the first Godfather, but the former is far less sanitized. The Godfather presents certain airs of prestige for mafiosos. And I do think that's a problem, since members of organized crime syndicates are literally the lowest members of society.

Goodfellows starts with the typical romancing of the mob and that is a big part of the story but of course the whole point is it starts out like godfather and ends up like the sopranos.
