Mean Girls finding out by what means Redmond Barry acquired the style and title of Barry Lyndon.

Yes, noticed this when rewatching on the big screen at the weekend.

You're bang on about Reverend Runt's face!

Just saw it on the big screen for the first time. Aside from the majesty of seeing it on such a big canvas, was great hearing the audience reactions: both the laughter (people forget what a funny film Barry Lyndon is) and the gasps of first time viewers during the twists of the final duel sequence.

Just walked out of seeing it on the big screen for the first time and even more zealous than ever!

Digital Puritanism is in full force on this story. The internet gleefully doxxed these people, Polymakert is betting on their divorces, and brands like Chipotle and NEON are using them as advertising.

We shouldn't be doing this.

Indeed. Thanks for reading!!

Nope.
