7 Years Later, Alex Garland's Hated Sci-Fi Horror Will Land On Streaming Cosmic horror fans will love this alien invasion film.

Yes, Annihilation will stream on Paramount starting August 1. No, the movie wasn't much hated. No, it didn't flop in the usual way. The new Paramount leadership suffocated it by releasing on too few screens. Per screen take was robust. share.google/4PHbY6q65jJk...

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."

Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about.

In fact I know you do."

Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

King Of The Hill Season 14 Review: The Best Revival Ever Made Hulu and Mike Judge's King of the Hill Season 14Β is honestly the best revival that has ever been made by a mile.

I reviewed King of the Hill Season 14 and y'all, this is the Texas that I love.

Its the best revival there has ever been and I need so much more.

Mike Judge understands our warts and our beauty. I was around Bobby's age and the growth this series shows hits so close.

I will take this opportunity to remind people that Andrew Sullivan developed a name for himself by moralizing against gay promiscuity during the AIDS crisisβ€”while he was simultaneously soliciting under a pseudonym to engage in unprotected sex.

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

White devs make multi billion dollar gaming franchise that often features members of minority groups doing crimes = good

A game about Africans reclaiming stolen artifacts and history = bad?

If you get maced expect to be out of commission for 20 minutes or so. It can be absolutely debilitating especially the hard stuff the feds use.

Sudecon wipes work best. You can order from Amazon or wherever in bulk. Use half to wipe off the poison and half to clean your face after.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS.

Just use bottled water please.

Doctor Who Season 2 Review: It Ends Way Too Soon Doctor Who Season 2 has a great variety of episodes, but it cuts short an era of happiness and positivity as Ncuti Gatwa bows out.

Doctor Who Season 2 is the most diverse season ever, with a variety of terrific episodes and a gripping story. But it also feels like it's been cut short as Ncuti Gatwa bows out.
