The obvious take is that this would be a perfect vehicle for a Glen Powell re-team, but, like, yeah... that would be great.

If California voters fail to pass Prop 50, the GOP could steal enough House seats to pass a nationwide abortion ban after 20 weeks, overriding state laws. Don't expect the Senate filibuster to save us—they might nuke it to end the shutdown

And people are BUSY! There are often films that I was thinking of seeing in theaters, but once I had time two or three weeks later, they are gone.
Are the movies the problem? Sure, somewhat. But I continue to maintain the decline in box office isn't scarcity of product but the short theatrical window. The casual moviegoer will not go to the theater if they can see it on a streaming in a matter of weeks. They just won't.
Box Office Massacre: October Revenue Falls to 27-Year Low, Excluding the Pandemic
The dramatic downturn in North America is due to a scarcity of product and the failure of fall event pics to connect with audiences, including the ill-fated 'Tron: Ares' and the Dwayne Johnson starrer...

how does donald trump keep breaking all these norms when all i'm doing is repeatedly suggesting he might do that with softball questions and then writing up the answers as if it's not a settled issue and attributing equal validity to his sundowning avarice and the written constitution

I'm glad that Andrew Scott got a Gotham nom for BLUE MOON. That is a very difficult role and the success of the movie kinda rides on it.

The *mandatory* retirement age for officers in the U.S. Army ranges between 62-68, depending on various factors.
68. And that's the outer edge. That's for, like, chaplains.
1/3rd of the Senate, and the President of the United States, would be in forced retirement if they were serving in the Army.
