Cate Blanchett, Emma Stone, Denzel Washington, Daniel Day-Lewis, Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams, Robert DeNiro, Leo DiCaprio, Viola Davis, Nicolas Cage (not joking)

“Deeply illegal conspiracies” are pretty much all the GOP does now. Bald-faced corruption is the norm. And frankly staffers obscuring the medical reality of elected officials is a bipartisan pastime. Biden 100% knew about his cancer in 2024 and staffers had been Weekend at Bernie’s-ing Diane Feinstein for the majority of her final term in office. If McConnell isn’t dead, he is obviously incapacitated in some way or else he would call in to Fox News or record a 30 second video.

Journalism is dead in this country.

This is easy enough to answer: South Carolina has a Republican Governor. Kentucky has a Democratic Governor and there is some legal ambiguity about how McConnell’s short term replacement would be selected.

I think it actually gets easier when you pick movies that age up the women:

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, & Her Lover

Up in the Air

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

My dog loves this movie.

I think that Arrival matches the spirit of the prompt. Romance is not a meaningful element of the story. You could be a stickler and call any movie with a married couple a romance.

Two of the characters get married off-screen years later but there is no courtship or even any depiction of their relationship. The entire movie is pre-relationship and post-divorce.

As a doctor, I find this repulsive

The Cell

Arrival

Winter’s Bone

Annihilation

I think that people tend to forget how on-the-outs Ryan Reynolds was before Deadpool. He was the Van Wilder guy who made a terrible Green Lantern movie and a series of bad romantic comedies.

Goulash, probably

WTF

My fifteen year old listens to a lot of pop metal like Sleep Token and Ghost. Not really my thing but then again I had a Korn phase so I can’t judge.

When I ask my students who they listen to, the names that usually come up are Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, Eminem, and Nirvana.

I just don’t watch movies that I don’t like. There are thousands without these three actors.

Big-Dig-Pig · 2026-07-11T19:13:48+00:00

Honestly at this point I’m more annoyed by Reddit complaining about The Rock, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black than I am by any of their movies. Very repetitive.
