10 days agoIt probably did, but not before it got a couple sequels*. The other YA adaptations were just that bad.
*Their ambitious part one of the final movie was a terrible decision though.

Probably the 2nd best YA fantasy movie adapted from a book in its era. I’ll never not be disappointed by The Giver, but I think they had a hard task to accomplish. É
3·16 days agoOh my damn. I wrote it and still misread it. You’re right.
I figured she lives somewhere expensive, but I probably should’ve used a different word. I just decided to Google and given that she lives in NYC the money doesn’t go as far there as it would in rural West Virginia. I’ve known people who make 100k in NYC that live with multiple roommates.
I don’t really play video games a lot, but I’m going to save this list based solely on your hype.

I don’t think we can conclude it’s 0 from what she wrote. He says he pays Ashley 500k a month and a flat 2.5 million. She says he stopped paying most of it.
I’ll assume he’s being less than honest because of specific credibility issues. If she’s being honest, she gets 250k hard maximum a year. My guess is it’s actually something like 100k. That amount, while survivable, seems very ungenerous for the richest man in the world and it’s enough of a drop from 500k that you would definitely be forced to change your purchases.
EDIT: huge error. misread per month as per year.
Every major Internet site should be. Why do TV ads get vetted by the FCC and Internet ads don’t? A growing portion of the population doesn’t even watch broadcast TV anymore.
4·25 days agoAfter I saw Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House, I watched The Haunting. The Haunting was a decent horror movie, but Flanagan made something unique with his miniseries.
It’s definitely fake. The screenshot is from around the 4:37 timestamp.
My macroecon book, which was written by a guy from the Bush administration, hit us over the head with that concept.
It’s strange to thing that he’d be considered a pariah by his party’s leadership now.
You’re not entirely wrong, but people not knowing how to draw basic things that we all know about is documented.

Vimini[Gimini] rendered a whole bunch of people’s attempts at drawing a bike.EDIT: Wikimedia says OP’s picture was from 1899-1900 and it was uploaded in 2011.
EDIT 2: misspelled

2·2 months agoI’d gamble a larger percentage of artists (whether music, acting, or painting) have affluent beginnings than the general population. It’s easier to rise through the struggle of a high risk profession if you have a safety net.
Hot Take: next time someone speaks for as long as Adrien Brody while saying nothing they should have Will Smith approach the stage.
People use the word incel to the point of irrelevance. If you’re having sex you’re not involuntarily celibate.
Folks online were calling Henry Cavill an incel a while back. If these guys were celibate it would be by choice. If you’re trying to criticize them in other ways, why not use the right words?
It’s a good thing we gave his party the majority in both houses of Congress, right?
Wasn’t Daniel Stern willing to stop robbing the house because there’s a kid? I trust the guy who does property damage over the one who’s dead set on terrorizing and torturing a kid.
It reminds me of that story where a robber steals a car, then when he notices there’s a kid in it he turns the car around to chastise the parent for leaving the kid inside. Don’t be a thief, but if you are don’t torture kids.
Based on the interview, it’s easier for me to believe the first option.
I think someone showed him the annotated picture and that person never believed he’d think the ms13 was literally part of the tattoo. Once he asserted it, who in his camp is going to tell him he’s wrong?
