Here we go again.


Alien: romulus is well made and good, and superior to Ridley Scott's last two films as a proper continuation after Alien 4.
The director clearly understands the Alien franchise, copied the aesthetics (set design, space design, props) directly from Alien: Isolation and set up the film like the scenarios in the comics. The setpieces and direction are great.
It's a movie that fans of the game would like.

Phoenix sabotaging his own career once again.
Next month, Todd Phillips’ “Joker: Folie a Deux” will premiere at the Venice Film Festival. It’s not screening anywhere else except, maybe, the New York Film Festival.
I’m being told that ‘Folie a Deux’ was supposed to be included in the Spotlight section at NYFF but has been “put on hold” and is now a question mark. We’ll see if it gets announced soon, but the crux of the matter has to do with star Joaquin Phoenix’s recent controversy.
Last week, Phoenix walked out of Todd Haynes and producer Christine Vachon’s next film as it was starting production. The project has been shut down and will not be happening. Haynes and Vachon are very well liked by NYFF, and it doesn’t surprise me one bit that the film has been pulled out of the lineup.
Another possibility could be that Warner Bros just doesn’t want Phoenix to do any other press beyond Venice. Can you just imagine how insane the ‘Folie a Deux’ press conference is going to be at Venice? I just cringe thinking about it. Phoenix is already an awkward interview, and then adding all of this Haynes/Vachon controversy is a recipe for disaster. As it stands, Venice is the only scheduled event for Phoenix.
At the moment, Vachon and her producing partners are discussing next steps. They might be suing Phoenix for breach of contract, or it all could just end with the actor paying back financiers (and crewmembers). He might have to dish out a check in the seven figures.
Vachon has called the whole situation a “nightmare. Re-casting Phoenix in the lead role is not an option, unless Brad Pitt suddenly becomes available. Given Phoenix’s unique box office appeal, thanks to ‘Joker,’ and his arthouse credentials, it would be all but impossible to recast the actor for a role that calls for “full-frontal and explicit gay sex.”
This has led to what THR has described as a “huge amount of outrage” in Hollywood, with many producers swearing to never work with Phoenix again.

She has stayed away from politics for now, but if she decides to endorse Harris after seeing this stuff it could be a bad day for Republicans.

in my tiktok I got about 100+ Democrat/Harris propaganda bots following me all of a sudden. Some of them are Swiftie bots.
I only have a couple trump bots follow me in comparison- the info wars disparity is stark.

Nice! It's beyond my comprehension why social media platforms can't get rid of the bot problem.

Eras is higher quality imo
It seems to me that teen/early 20s girls make up a massive part of her fanbase. At least this is the group I've encountered the most, especially online.
I haven't seen Reputation yet but it's on youtube. (just heard some opinions, don't know if it's true for most people).
There are estimates claiming that there could be 60 million swifties in the US, which rivals the population of France LOL.
This is why there is speculation that swifties could shift the election in Harris' favor if their fuhrer gives the orders!

These songs Evermore & Ivy were among the best in the album imho. Very well written. Interesting to see that Taylor left it out- it may be because of the 'heavy' subject matter. Evermore is about deep depression and Ivy is about cheating. She also left out the flagship song 'Red' of the 'Red Album for some reason?

Honestly, I have no idea. I haven't heard of it.

I know many people are outraged because of the ceremony (with the drag queens, obese people and all the weirdo stuff), but I haven't heard about this diet thing.
There are also lots of people outraged about the Algerian boxer, who is a dude and who competed in the women category (despite him having XY chromosomes).
It didn't help that two of the female boxers basically looked like men (regardless of gender)
the other meme...
There was also news claiming about inadequate food/ protein shortage for the athletes-

Me too, I let It in the high school butbI am revising and understand his music and videos. Sometimes he IS fun.
I think he could be a great father 🤣
I trained (private tutor and was 2nd chair in a big HS orchestra) semi-seriously in the violin growing up, I am personally more into instrumental music without lyrics because lyrics tend to 'bind' the experience to a particular interpretation. Rarely in pop, rock, & rap do those people write anything that resonates with me personally.

I saw he got to talk at the DNC.
The truly crazy thing is, Epstein himself would probably be on this picture, only the probation period on his conviction hadn't yet run out, which prevented him from traveling.

Still unclear to me why he's becoming a hot elf. Is he some sort of shapeshifter?
Obviously 😄
I clearly have to re watch season 1 LOL
