I think though that theater tickets being expensive and nice TVs getting cheaper is probably also a reason.

Me thinks the problem is that very few people go to the movies unless there’s some kind of hook, e.g. their favorite actor or a known franchise.

Direct to streaming movies seldom make Hollywood money.

Wait… Wat?

I didn’t get that memo.

I always thought that it was in bad taste that Porsche made a car to commemorate the WTC attack.

You can gather wood, but you can’t make a bonfire.

That sounds harder.

You’ve gotta make your own kind of music.

Much like the POTUS.

“I planned to have it for today but the Gods didn’t will it.”

Who am I to act against the will of the gods?

Alternatively:

“My hubris in meeting the deadline tempted the ire of the Fates.”

“I had it ready for today but the Trickster God, well, tricked me!”

So you are saying that memes are making the world a better place, right? … right?

It wasn’t good. It was terrible.

But also good.

Oh, they are from David LaChappelle. That explains a lot, though those have been uncomfortably great.

Thanks for sharing!

Do you hate brown people?
Do you enjoy cosplaying like a weekend warrior? Then come down to your local ICE office and get paid by following your two passions!

I guess… Haven’t heard it.

Sounds like something out of MST3K

• Mata Hari was Margaretha Geertruida Zelle.
• Fritz Duqesne had at least 30 known aliases.
• Lise de Baissac was primarily known as Irene Brisse but also Odile, Margerite and Adele.
• Even Dušan Popov, who’s allegedly the source for James Bond used in more than one occasion aliases like Duchan, Dusan or Hans: https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/record?catid=8204882&catln=6
• Eli Cohen also used a fake Syrian identity because c’mon, you won’t go around with an Israeli name trying to get into the Syrian government.

I know that double agents like Richard Sorge or Aldrich Ames would use their actual identities, but fake identities or even using the names of deceased people is very common.

That doesn’t seem very clever, going around sharing your own name despite being a spy.

Yet Ian Flemming was supposed to use his past experience in British Intelligence to come up with Bond’s novels, so what do I know.

And teachers’ houses got egged anyway.

And the call goes straight to voicemail.

And you need to make a phone call to get out.

I choose death.
