What truly annoys me about biopics is that Hollywood makes no attempt these days at these being true to the real-life characters they're portraying. They're 100% fiction using well-known public figures as the source of their verisimilitude. Movies like The Social Network and The Imitation Game, to name just these two, have barely any resemblance to their real-life counterparts. That's also true of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Given that, I don't even understand what's the point of them.

The /all option is in the sidebar all the way at the bottom, below your subs. I agree it's inconvenient.

People with access to verifiable data overlook the appearance of safety to express a legitimate concern about a breed that's demonstrably more likely to kill? What dorks!

Sean Penn sounds like he's got his head so far up his own Hollywood ass he can watch himself emote through his own tonsils. These are the words of a man who articulates his entire reality through the prism of mainstream entertainment.

The dude even loaned his Oscar to Zelenskyy. Like, what is he trying to say?

In US schools they teach it as the US just withdrawaling due to cost and domestic pressure

Also known as "losing." LOL

Most modern wars happen like this. Both sides commit until committing becomes untenable for one of the parties. That's pretty much the only path to victory for Ukraine, for instance.

Me ten years ago: "Wow, Elon Musk is this generation's Henry Ford."

Me now: "Oh God, Elon Musk is this generation's Henry Ford."

People will go to movies if they’re good and hear from their friends said movie was good.

Yeah, I don't know. I hear Blue Beetle is good and I have zero interest in seeing it. I was also told by friends I trust that the Flash movie was fun and interesting and I can't be bothered to watch it.

I'm not saying I don't want to see any superhero movie anymore, but I don't know that just "good" is good enough anymore. Even so-called "good" superhero movies these days just seem to invariably devolve into forgettable CGI mush.

Anecdotal, I know.
