Iam Fleming wrote the original book, but Roald Dahl worked on the screenplay and it really showed. He also wrote You Only Live Twice's screenplay, though reportedly he didn't really have a lot of freedom with it due to the Bond formula mandated by the studio. Bond strikes me as a guy who doesn't really like kids, but they think he's hilarious.

Dahl actually hated the book of You Only Live Twice and engaged in substantial changes. Chitty is likewise an extremely different book set in a relatively mundane world other than the flying car, with the villains being London gangsters trying to rob the safe of a candy store. It ends with a fudge recipe and includes a scene where Chitty changes into a boat and they have to navigate the wrecks off Goodwin Sands in a dense fog before stumbling onto the villains' hideout and deciding "Let's use their gelignite to blow it all up!" It contains a surprisingly thorough description of military demolitions for a kid's book.

That sounds about right for the author of the James Bond books trying his hand at a children's story. Mind you, I can imagine kids getting a kick out of the explosives.

Is Sean Hayes copping any poo poo for his new movie Lazy Susan? idk about those two specifically but i wasn't paying attention to trans stuff in 2007 bc i didn't realize it was relevant to my life and this is literally the first time i've ever heard of this lazy susan movie. i know there was online backlash against eddie redmayne in the danish girl and jared leto in dallas buyers club from the same people who were upset about scarlett johansen, it's not at all an issue of "people only complain about a woman doing it and let men do it" thing if that's what you wanted to find out

Meanwhile the original idea was stolen from a woman by a man who claimed it was his own and twisting her intent in the process. Amazingly, not acknowledged in this new product at all! Edit: the full ad makes omitting the genuine history even worse! SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL has a new favorite as of 12:53 on May 10, 2020 |

The full version of the ad explains that the game is based on female inventors. And then they say how they are giving the women in this ad a bunch of money to continue developing their own inventions. The full ad makes a lot of sense. The one in the tweet cuts out early.

And then they say how they are giving the women in this ad a bunch of money to continue developing their own inventions. The full ad makes a lot of sense. The one in the tweet cuts out early. So there's a concept in journalism called the 'inverted pyramid' that has some theoretical importance here. Basically, when writing 'breaking news' stories (less relevant for features and the like), you need to structure the story from the most important details first, and then every single sentence provides gradually less important information. You can't assume that an audience reading the news will actually be there for the whole thing, so you need to structure so that no matter where an audience drops off, they 'get it'. You saw a similar sort of concept in online advertising once skipping ads became commonplace (but before them being able to say 'gently caress you, watch our whole lovely ad' also became commonplace): they'd cram the important details into the first five seconds, because you can't guarantee that someone will watch anything after that. This ad shows exactly why it's a mistake not to keep that concept in mind; the tone of and response to the ad changes COMPLETELY if they tune out the moment they see what the ad is for, so even if it theoretically picks right back up afterwards, it takes a huge hit from people going 'oh gently caress this' the moment they see 'Ms. Monopoly' on the screen. I would've gone with either having the name somehow come up really quickly, so you know immediately who it's for, or to back-load it even further, structure it like 'here's some rad girls, we gave them money, here's who we are'.

Wasn't Monopoly itself a game invented by a woman, then stolen by a man who then proceeded to make bank off it? fake edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Landlord%27s_Game

Self-made means she personally selected the stock and font for her business cards, or at least personally called a PA to do that.

The girls in the ad dream of science and invention, of making the world a better place through their works. Ms. Monopoly is naturally a venture capitalist, buying and selling these efforts in a real-life game of Monopoly until those hopes and dreams are crushed and distilled to be sold at fire-sale prices, intellectual property and trade secrets floating away like dust in the wind.

Local bar made a post a few hours ago showing off customers on their patio, but it didn't quite get the reaction they were going for so they removed everything under the Mother's Day line and deleted all the negative comments. I still had the post open in another tab so I managed to screenshot it.

I know it's the M for monopoly on her earring. But I keep thinking it is an upside down ₩ for Won. The Korean currency. Which makes sense, as she is a capitalist, so would have jewelry made after money, she is a millenial so she would blatantly culturally appropriate, and she is the silver spooned relative of a rich old white man, so she is stupid as gently caress and wears it upside down. It is indeed a good and normal thing I have done by analyzing the jewelry of lesser board game characters, and not at all stupid or pointless.
