I only paused to ejaculate.

I don't know why moral human beings bother with the gospel of John. Ironically, those pronouncements in Jn. 16:2 can be persuasively historicized as acts of projection on the part of third-generation Jesus followers to put into relief their own status as martyrs and true believers over and...

Implementation matters: the new elementary school curriculum in Texas (Bluebonnet) includes this same letter, but encourages teachers to focus on MLK's obscure references to Isaiah rather than Jim Crow and segregation.

Oh sure, Harvard only deigns to cure elite east-coast Type 1 diabetes.

Besides the studio's sensitivities to ethnicity, I'd guess that Coppola probably got the nod for The Godfather on the basis of his screenwriting (Patton) more than his direction. The AIP movie doesn't really count, I wouldn't say, and neither You're a Big Boy Now nor The Rain People managed to...

That's probably underselling what Spielberg had already done. For one, he was very familiar to the Universal execs--he directed TV shows there for a few years, as well as Duel, a made-for-TV movie that showed his proficiency for thriller/adventure stories. If anything, his directorial debut in...

The idea was that the producers needed to strike fast before word-of-mouth sunk it. Studios...

I'll stop lusting once I fuck him.

Hahaha why do the suits think that they need a band photo?

I've read "Sandkings," which I remember as a quite sadistic story. Only Martin I've ever read.

Yeah, John Ganz's book When the Clock Broke is about 90s conservatism. It has a chapter with plenty of historical background on the LAPD.

Go back another 5 years and that dildo was supporting the Iraq War.

This idea of faith-as-action is also evident insofar as the Jewish law follows the model of a king-vassal treaty. In other words, the vassal is not pledging to believe in the king, but to hold up his end of the bargain. FWIW, Jon Levenson's book on love in the Hebrew Bible has a lot of cool...
