Jucika rips her stocking when it catches on Mustache's jug. So Jucika gets the jug to cover her leg on the way home, and Mustache gets the torn stocking.

it was plus because Apple TV was supposed to be people watching all their tv via the Apple TV app, but no fucker did that because why would you watch a streamer via a third party app like a weirdo?

Yeah but that scene in HOXPOX where Apocalypse is at a diplomatic dinner wearing a suit and tie, very funny stuff.

The New X Men uniforms are the best X Men costumes and they should never have changed them back.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

Disconcerting seeing people post ’different era’ photos from years that I consider to be more or less now.

I went to see it back when I was a freelancer/stay at home parent and could go see films on a weekday morning and my heart sank as I saw the old Warner Communications logo and realised the kind of new Hollywood pastiche bollocks I was about to sit through.

Bluesky used to be a cool place full of people saying "you're right" and "agreed!" But I posted one really dumb thing and now it's a toxic place full of people saying "I don't agree" and "that post was dumb." Says a lot about society

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."
