I've seen this several times and I still find it hard to believe he sat in a cinema surrounded by the public and watched a movie like a human being.

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV has a movie releasing later this year (Top Gun 2) so he was probably fine with supporting the idea that visiting the movie theater is totally fine again.

telling a decent joke for the first time is a higher risk endeavor than telling a decent joke for thousandth time, especially with clout-chasing on twitter and other social media. the inherent humor to any given joke may be appreciable irrespective of context but it's pretty self-evident that at this point there's a lot more that goes into any given post/tweet/whatever in the context of high-profile social media folk

there's a decently omnipresent idea that no two people can conceive of the same joke and that one must have stolen from the other, but social media in general is a fairly diseased beast. tropes and cliches only become such because their value warrants inclusion in multiple stories/etc., and while repetition is not inherently negative, the first author to use any given joke/trope/whatever struck out on a riskier path than those who followed in their footsteps

Man I didn't see it like that it all. Just that he read it and called it a "miss" but then decided it wasn't when he saw the date. The complaint wasn't that it was an old joke, it's that it was a bad joke until the date made it not so.

I had a similar assignment for senior year English where characters from The Sound and The Fury, Death of a Salesman, The Importance of Being Earnest, The Poisonwood Bible, Othello, The God of Small Things, and Anil’s Ghost were in that episode of Scooby-Doo where whoever stays the whole night in the haunted mansion gets the inheritance.

It was also bad.

Unfortunately, my past self habitually deleted and threw away any writing or art I ever made, so it’s lost now.

There was another group that asked, “Are we allowed to curse?” and the teacher said if it was in character, so their skit was largely just Jason from The Sound and the Fury ending every sentence like “... bITCH”.
