Article I read said he thought it was just normal security to get in so he did the same thing he’d done previous days - wave his special access permit and drive on - and the cop flipped out that his authority wasn’t being respected and tried to put the car in a choke hold

He’s a rich gently caress so I’m willing to believe he’s lying but that sounds exactly like the kind of thing that could happen at an event like this

the jumanji board game is remarkably garbage btw you wouldnt think that would be hard to do

Somebody else (I wanna say Hootington?) found a copy at a yard sale or something and I endorsed it

And Jumanji actually does seem hard to pull off imo bc the standards are too high to start (it can't actually summon Robin Williams or what have you)

Isn't the game, as depicted in the movie, a pretty outdated roll to move?

Without the magic, it doesn't seem like a very interesting or fun game.

i think buying ad free stuff has helped because the few times my kid has seen an ad I’ve had to deprogram it .

now that she can read she comments on all this free poo poo we can get or discounts and I’m like yeah we have to buy stuff or sign up for their apps to get all this free stuff and here is why we are not …

thankfully my spouse is on the same page and tells her they’re straight up not telling the whole truth.

sorry this sounds like bad parenting to me good parenting is when you do your best to hide any information that might force your kids to think too hard everybody knows that

According to the film’s publicists, “American Pop art was about to explode on the international scene with a dynamic exhibition that was bound to be questioned.”

They said art world insiders and dealer Leo Castelli “embarked on a daring plan to make Robert Rauschenberg the winner of the Grand Prize, then known as the International Prize for Painting. Although he had the potential to dazzle, Robert Rauschenberg was yet to be taken seriously by the art establishment in the early 1960s. His groundbreaking work known as ‘combines’ merged painting and sculpture with found objects and pop culture images in new ways that had not been seen before.”

Taking Venice, the publicists added, “explores the impact in Europe of a tumultuous cultural shift that fixed the art world’s gaze on contemporary American art with New York as its epicenter. On screen, The New Yorker writer and author Calvin Tomkins, who covered the 1964 Biennale, Alice Denney, who helped engineer the U.S. shenanigans, and the artist Christo recall the audacious events. (And artist Jasper Johns) recounts his relationship with Robert Rauschenberg in art and life.

Wallach said, “There are moments in the film that sting with what we have lost and moments that encapsulate what we have gained. The stakes are even higher now than they were at the scandal-drenched Biennale, as artists everywhere try to create a way forward. My goal is to make films about art that leap out of the art world and into a reckoning with what’s relevant in our lives though the stories that they tell.”

According to the publicists, Taking Venice “illustrates how Rauschenberg’s seminal art developed, explores the art scene that produced it, chronicles its enduring influence on artists today, and looks at art by other legendary American artists who showed in Venice that year: among them James Rosenquist, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, Jim Dine, Claes Oldenburg and John Chamberlain.”

The film ends in 2022, when artist Simone Leigh, the first Black woman to represent the U.S. at the Venice Biennale, transformed the American Pavilion to critical acclaim.

“The accusation that a new breed of American art dealers, Leo Castelli and his ex-wife, Ileana Sonnabend, was conspiring in New York and Paris to manipulate the art market further developed into a toxic anti-American expansionism brew in this tense moment at the height of the Cold War,” the publicists concluded.

does gollum uh have a backstory i was kind of under the impression he was just dicking around one day and found the ring by accident slowly having it consume his entire life in a tragic demonstration of the rings power that wouldnt have been terribly interesting to watch

anyway in an unrelated topic did anyone see kai cenats elden ring marathon on twitch i hear it took him 166 hours

yes. his backstory is

but that's not what the movie is about. it's about the stuff that happens between Gandalf leaving after Bilbo's party and when he shows up to ask Frodo if it was secret/safe*


*obviously I’m referring to the movie chronology which leaves several intervening visits and developments out. in the books the time between those two movie scenes is 17 years

Exploration is ill-advised.
Gollum is a funny one because he is actually a good character to do side stuff on, he's been basically halfway across Middle Earth and back and gotten involved in all kinds of crazy poo poo trying to get the Ring back. I'd said before that a Gollum stealth game on paper would be perfect for him, they just happened to have no idea what they were doing.

Gollum stealth game would be a lot of fun especially since you could have him sneaking around all kinds of set-pieces from the books you never get to see as he wanders around like the rebuilding of dale and the dwarves in Moria and just get creative

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





yeah seriously ive always felt an open world survival Gollum game would crush - like have him fresh outta prison after squealing his guts out about the Bagginsis, he's hungry for the precious and also hungry the normal way, there's a big well-documented world between here and there and all of it despises Gollum

just have this vague glow on the horizon that represents "the pull of the ring" and leave Gollum to their own rancid, sniveling, fetid devices
