It's the word he used to describe it, and I wasn't there to say otherwise

Basically that. Nudity =/= porn in all cases, and they stretched that (somehow) to include glamour photos.

Technically she was in "Sugar & Spice" magazine, but it was owned by Playboy Press. I did a deep dive on that crazy rabbit hole after I watched Atlantic City, same director as Pretty Baby. Those photos are online, legally. It's insane.

Hunh. Never knew this, but yeah
> In 1980, 14-year-old Shields was the youngest fashion model ever to appear on the cover of Vogue. Later that same year, Shields appeared in controversial print and TV ads for Calvin Klein jeans. The TV ad included her saying the famous tagline: "You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing." Brooke Shields ads would help catapult Klein's career to super-designer status.
She also dated Michael Jackson in the 90s, weird

That mini-series is laughably terrible. You might want to watch it just to enjoy how goddamn awful it is. The actors are all over the place, the CGI is ridiculous, it's just... oof.

I can't imagine War and Peace as a movie in any way, it's so slow in places but not in a really good way. But, I also haven't finished reading it, tbh.
Master and Margarita too, really. I've seen the TV mini-series and it's faithful, it just feels ... really weird.

Those old rifles were apparently just old stockpiles, nothing recent.

Is Xi giving Putin weapons?
edit: "while China should not be considered a neutral party, the United States has seen no indication the Chinese are poised to provide the Russians with lethal weapons."

That clearly isn't what dow was referring to when he said "sketchy shit."
You, nor anyone, wishes that all their friends and family think they're 100x worse than whatever their ugliest offense was.

Is that how you want people judging you?

If someone made a "Burt Reynolds Kicking Ass in a Car" box set it would be nearly a dozen movies

Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
They weren't written nor intended to be a trilogy with any continuity but some marketing guys later glued them together in that fashion with the popular "Man with No Name" fanfiction about his three different names being fake because he's a bounty hunter. Most people like to look at them as a reverse story, with TGTBATU as the first, since he gets his poncho at the end and is generally a nicer character who then gets more ruthless as we go through the movies.

IMO The Fabelmans will go down as one of the greatest autobiographical filmmaker films, next to 8 1/2 and Fanny & Alexander.

> In Knives out, Rian Johnson intentionally wrote in the baseball as a metaphorical representation for the karmic retrobution of the character. The act of throwing the baseball comes full circle as part of the plot and mirrors the main theme of the story.

I didn't like it at all but it was critically praised at the time of release. I love Burt Lancaster but he plays a total dope in the film
