  1. I watched this over the weekend, and was bored. The plot does not support the runtime. Too many lingering shots of Saltburn and the Catton's possessions that did nothing to add to the plot. I wanted more scenes showing the class divide with Oliver bumbling through various interactions with the Cattons and staff instead. And the Oxford section dragged on far too long for a story that has been told so many times before. I also wanted more Rosamund Pike's Elspeth. She was the best part of the movie.
  2. And if you entertain, you always have a need for containers you can give your guests. You can't be using your good containers for leftovers that leave your home unless you can afford to replace them.
  3. And you can only hold one in for so long no matter your age. I'm not going to hold a fart in for 30 minutes or more just because I'm in a subway car or an airplane, though if I was sitting in the aisle seat I would make an attempt to use the lavatory at the back of the plane, middle or window is a different story.
  4. She has found a new audience on Tik-Tok and she is Aunt Sandy there as well. Or at least her drink recipes have found a new audience.
  5. And she hurt her kid in the process. As soon as Lucy is old enough to traverse NYC by herself, she heads back to the Arconia to see Charles. How selfish to make Lucy think Charles abandoned her when she was the one who severed the relationship so abruptly.
  6. Maybe the family chose not to write one. You can always check the webpage of the local funeral home to see if there is one, but Google does pick those up.
  7. That's par for the course for a quick lunch these days. The daily special at Jersey Mike's by me is $12 for a sub, drink and chips. And meals at McDonalds vary between $9-12 per meal without supersizing it, though it is cheaper in the app. I already have enough apps on my phone selling my data and whatnot, I draw the line at any restaurant's app.
  8. The first Mardi Gras parades are on the traditional starting date of the season--January 6th. And, the actual Mardi Gras is early this year coming on February 13th.
  9. Eleven feet six inches, that is a low bridge. There's one in Durham, NC nicknamed the Can-Opener that is a smidge higher. Someone set up a camera and a website to share the many crashes.
  10. I agree that they are not consciously making a theological statement here, none of the Duggars nor Jeremy is introspective enough to connect the dots.
  11. I don't think it's unwitting. Their theology supports the idea of the earth being a prison where they are doing life until Jesus grants them their parole in death.
  12. That kelly green throwback cap is truly on par for the poser that is Jeremy.
  13. The Duchy of Cornwall's income is not technically taxpayer supported, it's rental income and investments. So, someone living in a property owned by the duchy pays rent plus income taxes that also go to support the Crown. There's also some old rules in place where if someone living on a duchy property dies without a will the duchy inherits. Supposedly, Charles used that income stream to fund his various charities, but that cannot be definitively verified. Both the Duchy of Cornwall and the Duchy of Lancaster do not have to disclose all of their financial information. Then there's the royals being exempt from various taxes that every other British citizen would have to pay like estate taxes and income tax. At one point, Charles did voluntarily pay income taxes as the Duke of Cornwall. Don't know if William will continue that tradition or if Charles will do the same as the Duke of Lancaster.
  14. From what I can recall, Timmay did not exaggerate this story. When Mamho expects you to show up, you show up tout suite. I also recall how this was a known problem with Spirit Airlines that was a national news story the day before Timmay's first flight. I get being young and not accustomed to air travel, but Timmay was an utter idiot through this whole ordeal. Showing up to the airport was not going to get him on a plane, and said airport was over an hour out of his way. He should have just stayed at home and attempted to see if Spirit could get him on a different flight a day or two later. Or committed to driving the day before his flight and prepped.
  15. Well, I mean, it is an accurate portrayal of Camilla. There were no artistic liberties taken here.
  16. I have to wonder how much race plays into the Daily Mail's coverage with Grace being a white woman and Jonathan being a black man. Would the DM be reporting this way if Grace was a WOC?
  17. The replies to her apology tweet before she locked her account are hilarious. Many a "what drugs make you a racist."
  18. And there are some government facilities that are nowhere near a commercial airport.
  19. I will bet real money on those last 6 episodes getting some nominations next year as well. There are certain shows that will always be nominated if their episodes fall in the timeframe to be eligible. Which is why I never get fully invested in award shows for television.
  20. Hunk went to Africa with Nurie, so he has a passport. Jill may also have gotten her passport just in case anyone were to spring for the Rods to take the roadshow to another country.
  21. I like the inclusion of Andy Reid (can't think of a better current NFL head coach to rep Snickers), but it is missing the "great googly-moogly" at the end.
  22. Some people like my mother can get their first passport in less than 6 weeks. I also remember my little brother getting his in like a month, ditto for my sister, but that was a decade ago. Some people get lucky and have their passport processed swiftly. I credit the speed at which my family has gotten our passports to my dad's work in telecommunications where he was vetted by the secret service when a sitting president came to town. I know we all have FBI files from that day. I may not have evidence to support this, but I do believe the more information the federal government has on you the quicker your passport and other documents get processed.
  23. I loved this one back in the day and see Snickers updated it for 2023
