[Tommy Lister Jr voice] WELL FUCK YOU THEN PUNK

People seemed to want it to be scarier and it's not supposed to be scary, it's just supposed to be creepy and fascinating, like a Twilight Zone episode that keeps giving, and that's what it was. Good stuff.

Haven't watched all the various Carries including the new show, but do any of them give us King's actual ending? (like, she fucks up the entire town, not just the school)

Short of nationalizing US oil, there is nothing he can do to lower prices even if he did have more time. Even ending the war in Iran with a fully operating strait will not bring down prices anytime soon. We're looking at these prices for like a year or more. At least.

but, and, also, too, don't take a loose cellphone or camera or device onto a roller coaster. If you're going to record, use approved, secured gear. Otherwise keep your phone in a zippered pocket, the pouch, or a locker.

And not victim blaming, I don't think he was trying to create viral content, but some people are uncomfortable when those clamshells come all the way down against the abdomen, they like a little room to breathe. Maybe that was all it was.

If I had to guess: he did the Tik Tok challenge trick of using your hands/arms to create a gap between thighs and lapbar to get more airtime in your seat, the TM doing the restraint check missed it, the gap should've triggered an issue, but didn't (or it was ignored), then the rest.

There is probably going to me some sort of maintenance/restraint check combo of errors, but those restraints just can't malfunction. It's almost easier to believe he passed right through them, like a ghost.

The more I read about that Goliath tragedy at Six Flags, the more I think to myself, "This is impossible. There is no way it could have happened." It's just so baffling.

Restaurants with names like "Wood & Pearl" or "Thistle & Thorn" are guaranteed to be mid. There is not a single elite example of one of these.

you also cannot complain about cold food when your order was to go. yeah, that's gonna happen. review accordingly. don't dock the place some stars because you didn't eat the item fresh from the kitchen, as it was intended.

"the girl at the hostess stand was really rude, so we just left without ordering. 1 star" No, that is not a review. You did not eat anything. Your review is meaningless and as rude as the service you received. Eat the food, then get back to me.

I also don't have time for reviews about bad service, rude host stand, late or incorrect orders, where you were sat, how long the wait was, any of that shit. Get to the food. Tell me how the food was, with pics, preferably.

a little unfair that the lowest rated restaurants on Yelp are all fast food. you have GOT to go in with low expectations, what are we doing here

Norma Shearer had a lazy eye, which she took great pains to correct for her performances. She also made the silent-to-talkie transition through the help of her brother, the Sound guy (who won for The Big House this same year, remember), who introduced her to a studio vocal coach.

The movie was also nominated for Best Director "Pop" Leonard (who lost to Lewis Milestone for All Quiet), Writer John Meehan (who lost to Frances Marion for The Big House), and Outstanding Production (which lost to All Quiet).

Producer Irving Thalberg originally wanted Joan Crawford for this film because he didn't think Norma had enough sex appeal. And he was MARRIED to her. Bonkers shit. Or, it's possible he didn't want it to look like she got the part because she was "sleeping with the boss." Rude either way.

Norma Shearer was nominated for Best Actress six times in her career and won it just this once for this film. Her second of six nominations was from the same year for Their Own Desire (1930 dir. E. Mason Hopper).

Darren and Poley @darrenandpoley.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

The next film is The Divorcee (1930 dir. Robert Z. Leonard). This is on some of the freebies, and Hoopla if you have a library card.
