because at the end of the day they are in control of how they respond to every given thing that happens, and if they choose not to enjoy them that’s entirely on them.

in light of peoples’ bad bunny bowl reactions, I think we need to start confronting people with questions like “why do you believe that you are entitled to enjoy everything that happens?”

Few artists’ entire body of work have meant as much to me over the course of my life as Drew Struzan’s has. With his gift every movie felt epic & important whether the artwork was framed in the movie theater lobby or sitting on the video store shelf.

*Possible spoiler alert*

Did any other millennials guess who the killer in Knives Out was early on because they watched the Elijah Wood movie “North” a ton as a kid?

Julia Louise Dreyfus and Jason Alexander’s characters being interviewed for tv in the 90’s movie North. The text says “we don’t want hugh.”

Neurotypicals need to stop telling autistic kids to carry a blue bucket to justify being nonverbal, or not wearing a costume.

Stop asking kids to carry a literal sign they're different.

If a kid shows up on Halloween, give them candy. No requirements. Period.

if you’re looking for a *really* good and funny movie with a stellar cast, while also wanting to visit with Diane Keaton this week, may I suggest morning glory. I will always suggest morning glory.

Movie poster for morning glory. Starring Rachel McAdams, Diane Keaton, Harrison Ford, and Patrick Wilson. Rachel McAdams stands to the left facing straight forward with a leg kicked back playfully, Patrick Wilson stands on the right with his back to Rachel McAdams, both smiling. Behind them are Diane Keaton and Harrison ford seated at a news desk. She’s smiling and he looks grumpy.

Dumbo octopuses (genus Grimpoteuthis) are a genus of cirrate octopuses that look like gelatinous blobs or cartoon ghosts.

But their most iconic feature are their large fins that look like big elephant ears, hence their common name.
