I'm trying to watch Barbarella(1968) due to its cultural significance, but god it's almost unwatchable.

I was not surprised to learn that it was directed by a drunk person. And it feels like it wasn't edited at all.

Not only was the director a drunk, he was in a relationship with Jane Fonda!

Keep plowing through Barbarella. It stays corny but its more culturally significant stuff is in the second half I think.

I've been watching for 20 minutes. I feel like the first 10 were a strip tease, then she took a nap. Then she crashed on planet and a child put a rock in a snowball and knocked her out. Then then children but their demonic toys 10 feet away from here and turned them on so we could watch them slowly waddle towards her for 8 minutes. She got bit my tiny toy mouths until she passed out.

I find it aggressively difficult to dislike any of the MCU films that I've seen. They're probably the dumbest films that I like by a vast margin, but they press the right buttons in my brain more often than not, and some of them (Guardians 1+2, Iron Man 1+3, Homecoming) rise to "very rewatchable" levels.

This is actually the plot of the Hallmark movie I'm writing pls don't steal.

Edit: it's a story about the evil of unions trying to undermine Christmas and features a scene where the protagonist is reprimanded by HR for saying Merry Christmas.

Yeah, apparently the subject matter is so intense and personal for Day-Lewis that he refuses to watch the movie (which he says is different from his other projects) and that the whole production left him with a profound sense of sadness.

Dude's done.

Barbarella is fun, energetic, silly, and campy like the sci-fi serials it's embracing. None of it should be taken seriously.

A girl I went to college with and was pretty good friends with apparently got hit by a truck this morning and died.

I found this out by seeing a Facebook post that seemed like she was leaving a job or something, then reading the rest of her wall.

Something similar happened to a friend of mine a few years back, finding this stuff out via Facebook is the absolute worst. Sorry for your loss. I got super drunk on fireball and cried a lot that night, that’s my recommendation.

She wasn't my best friend or anything, but a couple of my friends lived the floor above her in college and we had a lot of parties together, and some Thanksgiving/Christmas dinners as well.

She was a really kind, funny person, and 24 (didn't realize it hadn't been her birthday yet) is just way too young.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if this were a "wink wink, nudge nudge, the computers are broken, everyone ask for Christmas off" job by the union to get some higher pay, because pilot pay is absurdly low (I think they earn in the neighborhood of $30K for their first four or five years).

Oh, absolutely. It boggled my mind when I learned that flight attendants and pilots are literally only paid for the time when the plane is actually moving: If you're sitting on the tarmac for two hours because of some delay, literally everyone working on that plane is eating the time.

What's worse is there's been a growing trend for the past 10 years to fire/lay off pilots a year or two before they're able to retire, stealing away the income and benefits they spent their life accumulating.

This also allows the airlines to keep hiring pilots for 30k a year and getting rid of them once they reach the time to get a raise.

It's a hosed system, yo.
