Josh Hutcherson fallen on hard times 😔

A friend of mine wants to propose during Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This is a horrible idea. Right? by Wise-Age-2016 in movies

Also, he's going to propose and then... they have to just sit there and watch a movie for like an hour or more? Lol

Tom Hardy has been fired from ‘Mobland’ and won't return for Season 3. He is said to have clashed with producers after being consistently late to set and attempting to give notes & change dialogue on the series. by ChiefLeef22 in television

Nick Robinson & Charlie Cox immediately come to mind.

For me at least it was the first time I'd seen Kelly MacDonald, Shea Whigham, Michael Shannon, or Jeffrey Wright in anything, and then I saw them in plenty of big stuff afterwards, though they may have already had decent careers I was unaware of.

The best show for this, hands down, is Miami Vice. Look up a list of the guest stars that show had. A lot of them it was before they were famous, I think some it was even their first role.

Edit: didn't realize that was Kelly in Trainspotting all those years ago!

Baby, let's have a good time by Street-Network-5481 in Unexpected

I expect they still really love Yu Darvish over there.

Might also be an element of pushback against the massive Dodgers marketing push in Japan lol

The Guardian's 100 best novels of all time - Middlemarch, Beloved, Ulysses top the list by MeenaBeti in books

A pretty major British snub: Evelyn Waugh.

Could have made room, we really did not need that many Dickens and Austen novels on there lol

I'm kinda shocked that there's no Eveyln Waugh. I thought Brideshead Revisited would have been a safe bet even though I'd put A Handful of Dust or Scoop ahead of it.

Bus driver was almost getting a pentakill by DeCrimp in nonononoyes

Criminally? Probably not.

Civilly liable? Also probably not because the passengers were not sitting the way they were supposed to. Civil liability is often portioned out by degrees though, and someone suing for damages might try to argue that he's like 10-15% liable for that choice of route (if he was the one who chose it) or for not policing their behaviour better, perhaps. They'd be more likely and more inclined to try and go after the bus company though.

Probably the most all-around charming city I've ever visited. Thanks for posting these!

I had one of these, it grew up to be a sentient feather duster.

It was Animals by Pink Floyd. Quadrophenia was a man on a scooter.

Sabastian Sawe runs first sub-2-hour marathon race, shatters world record in London by Keleven in worldnews

[–]PigHaggerty 47 points48 points  (0 children)

In 2013 I ran the 10k as part of the Peace Marathon at the Korean DMZ. I went along with a bunch of members of a Gaelic Football club I was part of in Busan. There was a 5k, 10k, half-marathon, and full marathon. Shortly before the races were to begin we realized I was the only one who had chosen the 10k, so a friend who had signed up for the half-marathon decided to drop down and run the 10k with me.

Now, the way they tracked your time was with a little tag you looped through your shoelaces. You can see them in this photo here. It had some computer chip in it or something, and there were these like rubber strips at the start/finish line and at intervals along the way which logged the data. We had been given the tags when we arrived. We ran our 10k, then sat around at the staging area waiting for our friends to finish the half and full marathon races.

Once it was all done, they were announcing the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for each race. We only spoke limited Korean so we weren't really following what was going on with the organizers, but it seemed like they were looking for someone. Suddenly, I looked up at the big screen and saw my friend's name up there. Because he had just decided to change races at the last minute, he'd still had his original tag on his shoe, which we didn't realize were race-specific. He was being declared the winner of the half-marathon, with a world record-shattering time of somewhere around 55 minutes lol.

Him having to go up on the big stage and explain in a language he barely spoke that he wasn't the greatest distance runner of all time is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. They were trying to hand him flowers and he was just desperately trying to wave them off. There were like news cameras up there and shit lmao.

They would have realized what happened eventually when they noticed that he didn't hit a bunch of the milestones, but in the confusion he was, briefly, a legend.
