I JUST learned that this shirt cost them $10,000 to put into this movie… but they refused to compromise because they were like: he’s the hugest Golden Girls fan… this has to make the movie… so they paid $10,000 to use Bea Arthur’s likeness on this shirt… Ryan Reynolds, you’re doing Deadpool so right.
They traded all the guns in the final climactic showdown for Bea Arthur’s face. Worth it.
Reynolds paid it himself, out of pocket. It didn’t come from the budget. He talked with Bea’s sons and they agreed to it for a donation to Bea’s favorite charity. ☺️
I did not know that. That’s so much better than I could have imagined.
It may be true that everyone deserves a chance, and that everyone also deserves a second chance. But you don’t have to be the person that gives them those chances. If your instincts say no then that’s enough. Life is full of chances. Let it go and let them find their chance somewhere else. Don’t lose your own chances because you keep giving them away to someone who wastes them.
The man holding this #BlackLivesMatter sign is Richmond (CA) police chief Chris Magnus, whose department has not lost an officer or killed a citizen since 2007, the year after he took over. This is not an accident, this peacefulness is the direct result of his leadership. Police departments across the country should be looking to his department as an example to be followed.
‘Chief Magnus changed the department from one that focused on “impact teams” of officers who roamed rough neighborhoods looking to make arrests to one that required all officers to adopt a “community policing” model, which emphasizes relationship building.
“We had generations of families raised to hate and fear the Richmond police, and a lot of that was the result of our style of policing in the past. It took us a long time to turn that around, and we’re seeing the fruits of that now. There is a mutual respect now, and some mutual compassion.”’
They also do regular officer trainings with roleplay scenarios and airsoft guns to teach them how to de-escalate, how to avoid firing when fired upon, and how to deal with people with weapons in a way that doesn’t end with a shootout.
They also apparently go through the details of officer-involved shootings elsewhere, picking them apart and using them as teaching tools for what NOT to do or what the officer could have done to avoid shooting the person.
Essentially, they take a proactive approach to not shooting people and put time, money, and effort into it. Richmond isn’t a low-crime area. Other cities could follow their model and almost certainly see results.
Who’d have thought it would take so much work to learn how to just … NOT shoot people
These are the sort of police officers who deserve respect. The ones who take the time to build a relationship with the community they’re supposed to be protecting, and work to actually protect people instead of just shooting anyone who looked scary.
In before anyone tries to say that the only reason this works is because Richmond is probably like “not as bad” as other places in the US
you’d think it would make him heavier, what with the new muscle and (perhaps) a denser bone structure.
but what if the bite changed his bone structure to be less dense? more light so he could easily swing himself around, make his footsteps even quieter for stealth, and add to his flexibility.
i just thought it would be funny if
tony goes to help peter up when he falls (like, grab his hand to hoist him off the ground) and completely underestimates how much strength to use and sends the poor kid flying.
Aunt May and Peter are watching a movie with Peter’s head in her lap, she tries to get up to get something to drink & Peter – joking around – holds onto her, not letting her up. May laughs and once again, underestimating how light he is, she jerks herself up and yanks Peter with her – so she stands there with Peter easily clinging to her like a koala. “Peter what the fu-“
(in the end she just easily walks to the kitchen with Peter wrapped around her , giggling the whole way because she still wants her drink and no feather light spider-kid is gonna stop her)
Peter wanting to prank Tony by tackling him – but as he jumps onto his back the man doesn’t even budge, so Peter just awkwardly sits on Tony’s back.
“kid it literally feels like i’m wearing a backpack do you even eat”
