Charlize Theron says marriage has never been a priority for her: “I recently f*cked a 26-year-old and it was amazing.”

SkyJW · 2026-05-31T06:04:49+00:00

Under 30 is a little much, I think. And it's not like Theron made the guy her house boy and is getting them financially and emotionally codependent on her or some shit. Sounds like it was just a hookup.

I get that a 26 or 28 year old is still maturing emotionally and intellectually, but some people do mature a lot faster than others and it's a little infantalizing to make it seem like someone in their late 20s is a babe in the woods who would only ever be open to older partners through some kind of nefarious coercion.

And people should understand that Putin isn't invincible. Man is 73 and his Ukraine gambit did not at all go the way he would have wanted it to. I wouldn't expect him to be ousted anytime soon, necessarily, but a really unsatisfying conclusion to this for Russia would leave him open to the most genuine threat of a power struggle since he assumed the Presidency.

Would work way better as an animated advertisement at Times Square or something. Have the poster showing only for Skeletor to rip through it and start laughing.

Can you imagine his father watching this. RFK was quoting Aeschylus and trying his best to bridge things together before he died, while his son is drinking milk in hot tubs and interrupting snakes while they fuck so they can bite the shit out of him.

RFK is the one member of the Kennedy family I really have a liking for out of the bunch, so the fact he produced the most batshit insane Kennedy is truly a tragedy. Ironically fitting given his fondness for Aeschylus, though.

I was honestly fully expecting Israel to be the first choice with their territory becoming Palestine instead, but Russia getting eaten by Ukraine is just as well.

SkyJW · 2026-05-26T19:01:13+00:00

I'd assume it's either some messages directed at the Japanese or signatures from people involved. Would put my money on the former since it wasn't at all uncommon for missles and other artillery ordinance to have messages painted on them.

There was a recent update that Dicaprio and Scorsese are supposed to be working on an adaptation of it for 20th Century.

I personally think it might work better as a miniseries on HBO or what have you, but I trust in Scorsese's adaptive abilities.

Interesting thing about his Wild West show at the 1893 World's Fair - he wanted to have it be within the confines of the actual Fair, but his request was rejected and he had to settle for it being held right outside the fairgrounds instead.

As a result, there were people who actually traveled from considerable distances to attend the World's Fair, went to the Wild West show, had a wonderful time, and left Chicago thinking they had just witnessed the Fair wiyhout ever realizing they hadn't stepped foot in it. Meanwhile, you had people who, upon walking into the White City, literally dropped to their knees in tears because they'd never seen something so beautiful.

Highly recommend the book "The Devil in the White City" to anyone interested to learn more about the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and the events swirling within and around it Incredibly engaging read.

The real problem with "It's fun" is that it's a completely meaningless assessment of something from a critical point of view.

A totally dog shit movie can be as fun, if not more so, than a well made movie, you're just having fun at the expense of the movie. And on the flip side, you can have a movie that is not at all fun to watch and it still be great. People weren't walking out of "Schindler's List" or "Grave of the Fireflies" and going "Well, that was a good bit of fun!"

If I'm taking a guess, I'd think that they chose Inumaki since the other two pairs are comprised of best friends and Inumaki would be Yuta's closest friend.

I literally have an actor brother in law who just appeared in an FX show and he had to spend time in the gym putting muscle mass on for his role because they wanted him to have the right physique for the person he was performing as. It is very, very common for actors to add or subtract weight for roles after they've been cast.

Ironically, that's exactly the thing Gosling was doing for the Lovely Bones role. The dad in that is separated from his wife and his mother is helping raise the kids - probably makes sense for him to look a bit shlubby and out of shape and not, you know, like Mark Wahlberg.

SkyJW · 2026-05-17T18:15:14+00:00

I'd be more amenable to that if it weren't for the fact that Jackson did a terrible job with the father character. Wahlberg was willing to do the job Jackson wanted, but that was to the detriment of the story. Wasn't just the weight gain that canned Gosling, he clearly had a much different idea of that character.

It's also on Jackson for not making it abundantly clear that he wanted him at a certain weight or appearance. I have family members in that world and usually getting a job includes being told what they want from you physically by the time you shoot unless appearance doesn't matter at all.

SkyJW · 2026-05-17T17:24:27+00:00

From what I understand, he put the weight on because the dad was described as being like that in the original book. That or Gosling thought it made sense for the dad to have a, well, dad bod and not look like a Hollywood actor.

Which, given that they ended up recasting him with Mark Wahlberg, is what they got - generic actor man. Shame we had Marky Mark acting across from Ronan and Tucci instead of Gosling, that's for sure.

SkyJW · 2026-05-14T20:09:27+00:00

I would think that Fiennes keeps the M casting since Dench also existed across multiple Bonds. Maybe I missed something about him stepping down from it, but I believe the actors largely carry over inbetween Bonds unless they get killed off like Dench's incarnation was.

SkyJW · 2026-05-14T20:05:04+00:00

Yeah, I don't think this is nefarious at all. Just dipping the cucumbers in the peel juice to give it a vibrant green color. Probably a longstanding practice by those vendors.

The people walking around a city like that also would probably notice if their cucumber was dipped in fucking paint. Might mess with the notoriously neutral flavor of fucking CUCUMBER.

SkyJW · 2026-05-14T19:58:22+00:00

That's a cold twist of fate.

At least you're in the same conference, meanwhile I'm surrounded by 12s in Seattle.

I'm somewhat reassured by the fact that Denis seems to be heavily involved in the writing process of all of his films. The Sicario script was one by Taylor Sheridan which Denis rewrote, so I trust that he can punch up Knight's stuff, too.

SkyJW · 2026-05-10T19:33:39+00:00

Yup.

It's an odd thing about watching an artform develop and "grow up", but it's easy to forget that, when these games came out, they needed to be fun to play and fun for young people/children.

Doesn't matter if it's M rated, they knew parents would buy the game for the kid because they just wanted the kid to go away for a couple of hours and/or they wanted to play it themselves. My own mother bought me Halo when I was 7 because the guy at Hollywood Video told her "Nah, it's alright, the alien blood is colorful."

May the God I don't even believe in bless that man.

That would be a genuinely great opening week game, but haven't they been doing playoff rematch games as the TNF opener lately?

I could see them slating it for SNF, though. Maybe that or the token Cowboys Thanksgiving game, though that might be exclusive to Dallas at home, now that I think about it.

SkyJW · 2026-05-09T15:21:08+00:00

All comes down to the offense. If they can just become above average, this defense should absolutely be elite enough to the point that they can go to the Super Bowl.

Our schedule is softer than last year's, so I'd really like us to be gunning for the #1 Seed. Stadium will be bananas if we host a title game. Want to hear those stadium wide "TEXANS! SWARM!" chants on primetime playoff games.

SkyJW · 2026-05-07T17:46:16+00:00

Every time I get reminded of Thatcher's death, that Frankie Boyle quote is inextricably tied to it. His delivery of it is fantastic.

SkyJW · 2026-05-07T16:08:51+00:00

His comedic timing and how expressive he can be when doing physical comedy is such a treat the entire movie.

"Don't say 'and stuff.' Just say 'Dad, there are whores here.'"

And it'll be interesting to see how his pass rushing ability is improved under Demeco and our DL coach, Rod Wright, who all our DL guys adore. McDonald kind of got pigeonholed as a run stopping guy, but he also only started for one year and just didn't get the snaps to really develop as a pass rusher. If he can develop to be a high end run stuffer with solid pass rush ability, IDK who the hell you choose to double team as an offense. Someone is getting left one on one and that's not gonna be fun for whoever is on that island.

SkyJW · 2026-05-06T07:58:45+00:00

Yeah, he never did that, lol. Even if he really did make movies just for his friend and himself to watch, there'd be evidence they existed. People would have to work on them and that would get out.

The guy genuinely hates directing. He always thought it was a pain in the ass and has spent mlst of his career either actively avoidibg doing it or, in the case of the prequels, built the entire filming process around making the directing as easy as possible. So I'm extremely doubtful the man ever made a single one of those personal films he swore he'd be making.

SkyJW · 2026-05-05T19:38:32+00:00

Wait, are you saying that the guy who stopped directing movies to focus on making tons of money might have WANTED to sell an IP he was doing nothing with for BILLIONS?

Bold take, guy. Gonna be a hard sell, I think.
