“Grindhouse” double feature on opening night in a college town.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

well it was more than a decade ago but tom cruise in tropic thunder
This is a fun question—best “serious” actor in a comedic role of the last decade?
It’s so much easier for comic actors to do drama than vice versa. Look at Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine or Truman Show, and then look at De Niro’s comedies, they’re terrible

NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.
Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.

Trump-Vance White House Targets Beloved Nun in Texas, Retaliates Against Catholic Charities
Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley — praised by Pope Leo as an “agent of hope” — now faces a six-year federal funding ban. Church leaders say it’s a vendetta by the Trump-Vance White House.

People talk about how the Thunder squeaked by last season against the Nuggets and Pacers ... but also, they were a couple of plays away in two very weird Game 1s from winning both series in 5 games. Would have finished the playoff run 16-3. I doubt Daigneault coaches himself out of games again.

lol our daughter was in the moderna trial in 2021 and it was a months-long process with many doctor appointments and blood draws, etc., and that was only for one stage of the trial.
lots of misinformation in the comments now. For example the "only a few days" myth is debunked here by @aboutpediatrics.bsky.social vaxopedia.org/2019/10/02/a...
Are Vaccines Only Tested for 4 or 5 Days?
It is a common anti-vax myth that vaccines are only tested for four or five days before they are approved.
