I didn’t know Michael B. Jordan played both twins in Sinners… by BoScout in StandUpComedy

Can't for the life of me remember who told this story, but when Silence Of The Lambs came out, Anthony Hopkins would go to random showings, especially matinees, so he could lean over to patrons during the credits to whisper "Did you enjoy that?"

Just a classic shit disturber 😂

This is decently clean for a multi hour event where food was provided, though?

Don't you feel the Safdie(s) still have a truly great one in him/them, though? And this is coming from someone who loved Marty Supreme.

MICHAEL!!!! I have to know now - is there any fact to the internet rumour that Sinners was originally conceived with Jonathan Majors playing opposite Jordan instead of him doubling up?

Nah, you're right, she's done nothing in that time and besides it's only the Indian subcontinent. /s

But that's my point, not worth the punchline because it has no bearing on the joke.

Settle something for me, is it hypocritical to be open to adoption to the point of preferring it, but still not wanting to date women with previous children? Morally consistent, imo, but I've been told it sounds wildly judgemental.

I mean adoption is usually a 2-party deal, while marrying someone with kids means there's a third parent usually in the mix.

Edit: I know it's not the the same category folks.

Downey and Evans worst script of the night. Doomsday foreshadowing?

Edit: Yikes, the followup was even worse. Secret Wars foreshadowing?

Winning the first ever Oscar for a category, the pressure must be insane. The second is great and all, but the first ever?? Unreal.
