I saw a promo for the new Gladiator movie and said to my husband, “That looks good. I wonder if I need to see the original first so I know what’s going on.” My husband jumped up and with his full outside voice said, “YOU’VE NEVER SEEN GLADIATOR?!?”
2.5 hrs later, credits rolling, I said, “That was so good. I bet it won a lot of awards.” My husband, “It was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won best picture, best actor, best costume, best visual effects, and best sound mixing. Ridley Scott was robbed of best director, but Steven Soderbergh won for Traffic, another all time great.”
Me, “I’ve never seen Traffic, what’s it about?” My husband, “YOU’VE NEVER SEEN TRAFFIC?!”

Burberry burned $36,500,000 of clothes in one year.
Not because they couldn't sell them.
Because they didn't want YOU to have them.
The disturbing truth about luxury's dirtiest secret🧵

This is a massive media scandal.
@SkyNews posted a video accurately describing what happened in Amsterdam.
It described violence perpetrated by Israeli football hooligans, and their hideous racism.
They then deleted it. This is the original.

Denis Villeneuve on Amy Adams' Oscar snub for ARRIVAL:
“That was disappointing. Amy had the whole weight of the film on her shoulders. It’s not easy to act in a film like that, against a green screen. It’s a shame the Academy didn’t recognize that.”

This is the Shadow Justice Secretary.
In his very first tweet in the role, he has chosen to lie to you.
Keir Starmer did not let Jason Hoganson out early. Hoganson was serving for domestic violence. DV is specifically excluded from the ‘release on 40% of sentence’ scheme that Starmer’s government has introduced.
As a result, he was released at 50% of sentence instead. Which has been the release provisions for quite some time.
Anyone want to guess whose party introduced 50% release?
These lying fuckers just cannot be trusted.
Meet Jason Hoganson.
Jason was jailed for hitting his ex-girlfriend. Keir Starmer let him out early.
Within hours of his release, the police got another call, saying he’d assaulted her yet again. Now he’s on the run.
Who could have seen that coming?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jason Hoganson was released at the half way point of his sentence. Releasing prisoners at 50% of sentence served was Conservative Party policy.
The early release scheme was brought in under the Conservative government due to lack of prison spaces
