Mad lass with the backpack went commando.
Ex-TwitterXitter (pronounced shitter) seems to be the safe haven for those scumbags
Wait...it was all hypocrisy and grandstanding?!?
If you are wondering what that red spot in Wyoming ans adjacent green in Idaho is, they are the Teton counties (one on each state).
A bamboo back scratching stick. I bought dozens back when Pier 1 existed and sold them for 75¢. Most are still around.
Circle jerking about China is as ridiculous as circle jerking about the US. We've been here before with US vs USSR, but this time everyone has a megaphone and an IQ that can be measured with a ruler.
If you were wondering.
No data for Texas. Only partial information was available for seven other states.
I don't care if it works or doesn't on humans. If there is a drug that can help my dog live longer, they can have all the money. It's a cruel joke that we made the bestest of friends for ourselves, but they have a super short lifespan.
Didn't Travolta's Greaser character turn clean-cut in order to be with her? I always thought the point was that they originally liked each other for who they were, without pretense but society was forcing them to conform to standards and pigeonhole them.
Or maybe it was all about the dancing and singing and we are trying to get too deep into it.
The clip in question.
If you are homeless and in need of shelter, how do you prove residency? If receiving aid a way to prove residency but residency is a requirement to receive aid, how is a homeless person supposed to work that out?
I'd love it if I could attach photos and videos.
Punisher's back. Enough said.
Sometime the reverse is true.
Keira Knightley had just turned 18 when she filmed Love Actually (2003). She played a newlywed woman in her mid to late twenties. Her famous "floppy hat" was used because she had a giant teenager zit on her forehead.
Sometimes the casting is dead on.
Mariel Hemingway was 16 when she played the 17 year old love interest to Woody Allen's 44 year old man in Manhattan.
I think, in movies, a big driver in casting is trying to guide the audience. Had they cast actual teenagers in Grease, the audience would have been scandalized by the subject matter rather than focus on the comedy and music. That's why they cast a teen to play a teen in Manhattan. The entire thing is meant to feel off and uncomfortable, which would not have been apparent had they cast a woman in her mid twenties. They cast a teen Keira Knightley because they needed the audience to instantly understand why the character had a crush on her. Whether we like to admit it or not, our monkey brains register teen women simultaneously as angelic/pure and "peak breeding material" (yes, it's yuck when put that way).
Movie magic is built on multiple layers of subconscious manipulation.
