    Great sorrow love it.

    Ryan Hansen... Also good in the 2009 Friday the 13th movie.

    He technically steals a boat and pulls a topless Willa Ford while she waterskis.

    Ryan Hansen did a fantastic job with Dick Jnr, especially in later seasons where he had to let the trauma crack through occasionally.

    whenever I re-watch the show he battles with Tina Majorino for the position of favorite recurring character

    also I had to look up Ryan Hansen, which resulted in "Oh, THAT guy. Huh"

    HIS NAME IS DICK CASABLANCAS! SHOW SOME RESPECT!

    Dick Casablancas was just a role

    How long until Parasite and Jojo Rabbit hit blu-ray? Because theatres around here refuse to show them. :(

    No release dates for them on BD yet, but also they have only been in theaters for like a month. It's not going to be next year, right before or right after the Oscars, at the earliest.

    I think the reason people think Sinbad was in a genie movie is because in the 90's he dressed like a genie

    this was actually solved as a result of Sinbad himself trying to sleuth this out

    French actress Valentine Monnier comes forward with rape accusation against Roman Polanski. Linked due to content warning description. Incident occurred in '75 when she was 18
    Polanski is not facing any legal action in France over this alleged rape since the country has a 20-year statute of limitations. But Monnier said she was moved to speak out now due to the release of Polanski’s latest film, “An Officer and a Spy” (“J’Accuse”), which hits theaters in France next week, where Gaumont will give it a wide release. The movie world premiered at the Venice Film Festival where it won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize and earned mostly positive reviews.

    “Rape is a time bomb,” she told the publication. “The memory does not fade. It becomes a ghost and it follows you, and it changes you insidiously.”

    “I denounce this crime knowing that there can’t be any punishment, in an attempt to end exceptions, impunity. Public figures are being considered as models. By idolizing the guilty ones, we prevent people from realizing the serious consequences of their acts,” added Monnier.
    The selection of Polanski’s film at Venice and its subsequent win had sparked a backlash...Polanski himself had reacted to the backlash in an interview published in the press notes of “An Officer and a Spy” which triggered even more criticism. Comparing himself to his film’s protagonist, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, the French-Jewish officer who was unfairly accused of spying for Germany in the late 1890s, Polanski said “I can see the same determination to deny the facts and condemn me for things I have not done.”

    Polanski is an admitted rapist. Like even before this new allegation he plead guilty to rape, so fuck anyone who's going to say "innocent until proven guilty."

    I have lost my wallet fourteen times this week. Not exaggerating. It’s always turned out to be in a pocket or the bottom of a bag, but when I’m stressed I cannot keep anything in my head for more than thirty seconds.

    Yesterday I stopped on the way out the door to water a plant and somehow left my lunch behind.

    It's like that time you took that home wine making course and forgot how to drive.
