There are people who are trying to reconstruct the shop window from the movie "Back to the Future 2" by buying the stuff displayed there.

See image:


teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

In fairness, looking at other photos of her from this year, she doesn't look much better. At this point, she looks like she's just skin, bones, and a circulatory system.

The only exceptions I can find are from the new Wicked movie, and I can only assume it's due to the wonders of makeup and CGI that she looks so presentable.

I’m frequently puzzled as to why people are so concerned with celebrities’ looks.

Maybe because celebs want us to be obsessed with how they look.

1917 (2019) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_(2019_film)

A corporal is chosen to, ahem, attempt to relay a message to cancel a planned assault. His unfortunate neighbor, asleep under a tree, is his choice to accompany him on this very important, ahem, mission.

We walk. We crawl. We run. We get blown up and buried in stone but walk away. We get hand shot, slop that hand into the decomposing body of a former combatant, and we march on. We encounter a farm with yummy milk. A German plane crashes, corporal gets deaded. Buddy man goes it alone. He runs a lot. Things go boom a lot. It's nice special effects. I felt as tired as though I had run through the whole scenario myself after watching this.

It was okay but way too long.

Simply because they want that doesn’t require us to cater to it. I’m much more impressed with celebrities who get by on talent and don’t give two shits what we thing about their looks. Case in point: Steve Buscemi.

Steve Buscemi uses his looks to get by, just not in the same way.
