Take everything from him! Everything! Get his 'friends' and those that knew and profited from his crimes as well! They knew what they did and who they were doing it for. Take their money and give it to the victims too.
Of all those that fell during #MeToo R.Kelly's downfall has been the most complete justice.

Well, did you like The Deathly Hallows part 2? Barbie is a new spin on a franchise, it's not just an adaptation of half a book, so there's that.
Um, yes? I think Deathly Hallows part. 2 is the best HP movie, in part because it uses the strengths of its medium to its full advantage. But more importantly, I'm left to ask what it says about society that Barbie is outgrossing HP.

I dunno, maybe Barbie really is the best thing since sliced bread (would Barbie even eat bread?), but I'm skeptical.

Huh, ok then, a lot of people were unimpressed by the film, but if you think it was the best, then that makes sense.

The movie is fine. Its very feminine and LGBTQXYZ+ friendly, and that's a target audience that needs some love. To me, as a cis straight guy, the movie is fine. Like C+/B-, maybe the second Doctor Strange good. But I'm fully aware I'm not the target audience, and even if I didn't laugh at almost any of the jokes, the crowd I went with was howling with laughter and clutching their stomachs and have quoted the movie every day since.
And that's fine, good for them.

The idea of a murderous sloth is inherently hilarious: sloths are famous for having almost no muscle power whatsoever. For a sloth (top speed around 5 metres a minute), simply getting off a tree to defecate is an excruciatingly long and exhausting process with a substantial risk of being caught by a predator mid-way.

OTOH, anything that climbs trees using claws should be handled with care.

(I was expecting it to be one of those extinct giant sloths)

If only they did this for Epstein too.

Anyways,


About 18 years to the day from the original’s release. I’ll be returning to the theater.

The showrunners have each voiced enthusiasm for new Sherlock episodes; earlier this year, Moffat told BBC’s Today that he’s champing at the bit to “start writing Sherlock tomorrow” as long as his two lead actors are up for returning for another season, while acknowledging that the pair are “on to bigger and better things” these days. Both actors swelled in popularity through Sherlock, and their busy schedules have been a production-delaying factor in seasons past. Lately, Freeman has been knee-deep in Marvel waters with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on the big screen and Secret Invasion on the small screen, while Cumberbatch has been working on an upcoming Wes Anderson joint.


Freeman is fine with leaving the series untouched, but could be lured back to Baker Street with the right story. Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, the Ghost Stories star explained, “Personally, I’m a fan of things being finite. I like things ending. I think it’s natural for things to end. But I’m also a sucker for a good idea and a good script. If something comes up that persuades us all—it would have to be us all—then my door would always be open.”

Why would it say anything about society other than 'big brand with big brand recognition got heavily marketed, so lots of people went to go see it'? You can scoff at it being a Barbie movie, but the people who went to go see it did so for the same reason they might've gone to see Harry Potter; it's a movie they might enjoy.

Also, The Super Mario Bros. Movie did better than Across the Spider-Verse, so... you know. 🤷‍♂️
