These drunken assholes were arrested on a beach in Oregon for disorderly conduct, illegal fireworks, and - oh - Nazi salutes at a black family. - Mop Jul 7, 11:33 1
- F*ck them - znufrii Jul 7, 11:37
Remember when you thought Depp and Heard were done with gruesome accusations of each other? -- (link) - loosilu Jul 7, 11:10 28
- I mean, if they had accused each other of "you don't bathe", I would believe in a second. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 7, 11:30
- You know that moment in Knocked Up when the guy says, "I shouldn't have gone in there"? That's me after clicking that link. -- nm - David Jul 7, 11:19
- Wow, way to throw Paul Bettany under the bus -- (edited) - Epiphany -Orange Julius Denier Jul 7, 11:18 2
  - Also cheated with James Franco? - eag Jul 7, 11:22 1
    - LOL to the IM - Franco got AROUND -- nm - Epiphany -Orange Julius Denier Jul 7, 11:22
- It's more of the same as they're both in court testifying about the incidents. I don't know who to believe but she's wearing a mask and he's not. So.. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 11:16 12
  - Ive been getting the feeling that sentiment is turning against her now where as before it was Depp -- nm - eag Jul 7, 11:18 11
    - Yeah, I'm inclined to believe that. The finger injury is pretty dramatic evidence and a turning point in the case. - Mop Jul 7, 11:23 7
      - Yeah, who here hasn't lost a finger or two to an ex? -- nm* - Spawn Jul 7, 11:25 6
        
        It's the consequence of a vodka bottle being thrown at him. So the more accurate question is: Who here hasn't had a vodka bottle thrown at them? - Mop Jul 7, 11:29 3
        
        I have never had a vodka bottle thrown at me! - Spawn Jul 7, 11:31 1
        
        We all know Amy is a wine drinker. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 11:33
        
        I mean....yeah -- nm - Epiphany -Orange Julius Denier Jul 7, 11:30
        
        *awkwardly raises healthy hand* -- nm - David Jul 7, 11:27
        
        I mean...yeah. -- nm - Epiphany -Orange Julius Denier Jul 7, 11:27
    - Pretty sure Depp is still turned against her. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:21 2
      - Im sure if you locked them in a room they would try to kill each other than have hot sex - eag Jul 7, 11:25 1
        
        Yeah, you *date* Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, you don't *marry* it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:26
- They insisted I turn off ad-blocker to read the story. It was block *82* ads. 82! Fuckers, that's why I use ad blocking. -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 11:15 5
  - paste the url into outline.org -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 11:30 2
    - Looks like it's outline.com. They have a Chrome extension although I'm having trouble getting it to work. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 11:38 1
      - And it’s blocked by a lot of sites. I use Just Read which seems to work fairly well or by bopping into Instapaper. -- nm - spamlet Jul 7, 11:39
  - Daily Mail. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 11:16
  - Daily Mail gotta eat. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:16
- And boy, does he look *clean* in those photos. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:12
- IIRC she just recently lost her attorneys. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:11 2
  - I hope she finds them -- nm - decline Jul 7, 11:12 1
    - Big women's bag, you know the problem.. It's under her 5th lipstick somewhere. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 7, 11:18
And apparently now we have giant f*cking beetles flying around our backyard. - znufrii Jul 7, 11:07 8
- probably japanese beetles hatching. -- nm - colin Jul 7, 11:23
- Do they glow? -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 11:17
- Didn't your kid just murder a bunch? -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:13
- *shivers* -- nm - Blathers Jul 7, 11:12
- but are they locusts? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 11:09 3
  - No, they’re beetles. -- nm - znufrii Jul 7, 11:11 2
    - Here -- (pic) - znufrii Jul 7, 11:16 [Attachment] 1
      - They’re about an inch long, and there’s about a dozen of them flying around. -- nm - znufrii Jul 7, 11:28
Stolen from Twitter Poll: These 50 movies have the most user votes on IMDB—how many have you seen? - Flavorize Jul 7, 10:54 [Attachment] 45
- 50 -- nm - Volnelk Jul 7, 11:48
- 45. this is also proof that IMDB voters are idiots. -- nm - colin Jul 7, 11:24 2
  - It's not "highest rated" though, just, "most voted on". - Reagen Jul 7, 11:35
  - Agreed. -- nm - David Jul 7, 11:27
- 49 - did not see Interstellar -- nm - Epiphany -Orange Julius Denier Jul 7, 11:20 2
  - FWIW, it's one of my favorite films of the 21st century. I've re-watched a lot. -- nm - David Jul 7, 11:27 1
    - I will see it then. It looked long - but I like Bongo Boy. I can rent it. -- nm - Epiphany -Orange Julius Denier Jul 7, 11:28
- 46 -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 11:18 1
  - Green Mile, Avatar, Shutter Island, American History X. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 11:25
- 44 for me -- nm - Daniel Prime Jul 7, 11:18
- All but Leon - prayformojo Jul 7, 11:16 7
  - Huh. That's not one that I thought any here had missed but certainly not the only one someone would miss from that list. -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 7, 11:24
  - insane. -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 11:23
  - Kings of All But Leon. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:18
  - It's a terrific movie, although it's definitely problematic. -- nm - David Jul 7, 11:17 3
    - It's sort of amazing that Natalie Portman has turned as normal as she has. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 11:31
    - Since there never was a sequel, I believe that Mathilda was adopted by an overbearing wanna be ballerina mother - JD Jul 7, 11:27
    - The Leon/extended version doesn’t do as good a job tap dancing, like the theater version. -- nm - Flavorize Jul 7, 11:20
- 32-ish -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 11:15
- 47 -- nm - JD Jul 7, 11:13
- 34. I’ve passed on quite a number of classics. Many of them are mob-themed motion pictures. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 11:11
- 49. heh -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:09
- 48. Not seen American Story X and Leon. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 7, 11:08 1
  - Worth watching just for Gary Oldman’s performance, if nothing else. -- nm - Flavorize Jul 7, 11:18
- 48. -- nm - Herkellys Mulligan Jul 7, 11:02
- All 50. WTF is Shutter Island doing on there? -- nm - David Jul 7, 11:02 3
  - it was recently a new addition to one of the streaming apps - so it makes sense -- nm - Epiphany -Orange Julius Denier Jul 7, 11:21
  - Right? Maybe they thought it was The Beach. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 11:13
  - Film nerds love them some Scorsese. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 11:03
- 47. None of the Star Wars -- nm - Loyola Jul 7, 11:00
- 49. don't recall seeing American History X. -- nm - Max Jul 7, 10:59 1
  - Class film. -- nm - Loyola Jul 7, 11:01
- 45 -- nm - Strongbad Jul 7, 10:59
- 46 -- nm - con_carne Jul 7, 10:59
- 27 -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:59

- 37. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jul 7, 10:58
- 25 -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 10:57
- only missing Wolf of Wall Street. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 10:57
- 45 -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 10:56
- 46/50 -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 7, 10:56

- 42 -- nm - Dano Jul 7, 10:55
- 50 -- nm - the ice Jul 7, 10:55
NASCAR Update: Watkins Glen quarantine waiver appearing unlikely. Daytona road course being floated as an alternative. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 7, 10:52 1
- I can't remember if they've ever been to Road America. They might not have the facilities for so many teams. - zunk takes things literally Jul 7, 10:57
I apologize for the barrage of Bozonaro news, but.. - Marlowe Jul 7, 10:50 3
- FFS -- nm - Epiphany -Orange Julius Denier Jul 7, 11:22
- It's all good. It's all over the news here as well but not this stunt you just mentioned. - Marquis de Krusty Jul 7, 10:55
- of course he did -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 10:54
Goddamnit it’s hard to break the habit of opening up the Facebook app every time I pick up my phone. Should probably just go ahead and delete it. -- nm - znufrii Jul 7, 10:46
How big was this hail??? -- (link) - Reagen Jul 7, 10:45 6
- yet the windows are intact -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 11:32 1
  - Slipstream probably carried the hail along the windows and not into them -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 11:35
- SPAM sized. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:13
- I'm going to guess that speed was more of a factor than size. -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 10:48
- that'll buff right out -- nm - prayformojo Jul 7, 10:46 1
  - Just increase cabin pressure until *pop* -- nm - Max Jul 7, 10:50

- Waiting for Middle Out compression... -- nm - Inigo Jul 7, 10:53
- Heh, we were just talking about this at work ... sounds fun. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 10:31
TX State Fair canceled due to COVID. -- nm - the ice Jul 7, 10:19 5
- this surprises me -- nm - Epiphany -Orange Julius Denier Jul 7, 11:30
- MO state fair: going on as planned with no changes. -- nm - spamlet Jul 7, 10:26 2
  - 'MERICA!!!!!! -- nm - Daniel Prime Jul 7, 10:29
  - This is fine. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 10:26
- the ice will be disappointed, indeed. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 10:20
What that bear cartoon needs... (spoilers I guess) - Baron Burr Jul 7, 10:18 1
- Yeah, it's like the first draft of something that's eventually funny. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 10:41
Movie Giants start class action lawsuit against population of the World to force them to go to the movies -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 10:09 3
- Churches are a huge business. If they are allowed to be open, than so should theaters. -- nm* - Spawn Jul 7, 10:22 1
  - that's the main thrust of their lawsuit against everyone on earth -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 10:24
- This is what I'm saying! -- nm - Christopher Nolan Jul 7, 10:20
Destiny 2 people: 8gb update is live now. -- nm - Shaun Jul 7, 10:08 2
- ugg. why... -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 7, 10:27 1
  - New stuff. -- (link) - Shaun Jul 7, 10:43
“It’s hard to know how Fauci keeps calm and carries on when he is so frequently undermined by his inexpert, willfully misleading bosses...” - znufrii Jul 7, 10:00 5
- I figure he's been providing expert advice to six Presidents and all of them have listened/ignored to some degree - ty97 Jul 7, 10:36
- So like.. most bosses? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 7, 10:04 3
  - Probably. - znufrii Jul 7, 10:05 2
    - Mine is great. - Strongbad Jul 7, 10:06 1
      - My boss is awesome. I hope my people like me. :) -- nm - General Whee Jul 7, 10:15
I think where the movie theaters are coming from is there seems to be some arbitrariness here that is not driven entirely by health concerns. Tattoo - JackDawson Jul 7, 09:57 20
- Craft stores never closed down here. - Spawn Jul 7, 11:16 1
  - "God, we *wish* we had more than 10 people in the store at once!" -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 11:20
- If the restrictions are on group size, as they are in Illinois, then theaters are out of luck. - TWuG Jul 7, 10:37 5
  - Well, that could be the answer. In a case decided yesterday non-COVID SCOTUS did something like this - JackDawson Jul 7, 11:24
  - Almost all churches have done exactly what you say they should. -- nm* - spamlet Jul 7, 11:10 3
    - And of course theaters could restrict capacity as well, they are pretty big. I mean, malls are open. -- nm - JackDawson Jul 7, 11:25 2
      - I think of bars closer to theaters. You *know* people are going there for an extended period of time. That is part of the issue. At least in a mall, - Spawn Jul 7, 11:35
      - I can't see a theater limiting showings to 10 people or even 50 and expect to break even. -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 11:31
- You breathe more moistly at a gym than at a tattoo parlour, no? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 10:10 5
  - There's no such thing as social distancing at a tattoo parlor (which tend to be smaller, by the way) - JackDawson Jul 7, 10:12 4
    - tatoo parlour like a hair salon can wear mask, limit people. Gyms are sweaty -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 10:14 3
      - People can wear masks and limit capacity at gyms as well. Corona transmits through sweat? Is this science? -- nm - JackDawson Jul 7, 10:21 2
        
        Coronavirus transmits through upper respiratory pathways, which are tied to vocalization. So church choirs are bad. Movie theatres are not as bad. - Beryllium Jul 7, 10:33 1
        
        Laughing and coughing as well -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 7, 10:57
- I have to think at least some of the backlash is coming from the apparent hubris of comparing themselves to churches -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 7, 10:09 5
  - You’re right - I hold theaters to a higher one -- nm - JackDawson Jul 7, 10:09 4
    - *shrug* - znufrii Jul 7, 10:45
    - (the lawsuit is allegations and not evidence but I assume the competent lawyers representing them know what they're talking about - JackDawson Jul 7, 10:20
    - and spamlet's point about the constitution makes no sense because there is a freedom of speech right under the same amendment the churches are invokin - JackDawson Jul 7, 10:13
    - "I'd like to thank God, and the higher power that is The Academy" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 10:11
can you say "pro-jec-tion" - mud Jul 7, 09:57 2
- 1 - I'm not surprised. He's clearly a failure and a cheat. 2 - Why would Mary Trump know this? -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 10:23 1
  - You think Donnie wasn't a topic of conversation in the family? "You'll never believe what that dumb fuck just did..." -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 10:28
Only Quibi could take a global situation where people are stuck at home and make it into a money losing proposition for streaming video. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 09:54 3
- Paying to see ads doesn't work? Who would've known!?!? -- nm* - Shaun Jul 7, 10:04
- “It’s very Trumpian there,” says a person with firsthand knowledge. “Unless you agree with them, you’re a troublemaker. - Mop Jul 7, 09:55 1
  - Quibi didn’t allow screenshotting, which makes it harder, or at least less fun, to talk about its shows on social media -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 09:55
Oh zorky, you came and you gave me a lantern -- nm - rollo Jul 7, 09:51 1
- 👏 - JD Jul 7, 09:53
*ppfffttt* "did the air just come out of that bike tire?" "Yup." "Is that good or bad?" *long stare* -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 09:51 1
- "*fooooh* boy! I can't believe I was holding that in all this time! I feel much better now." -- nm - tire Jul 7, 10:30
