The thing about stealing Quentin Tarantino's personal 35mm print of Pulp Fiction is that he could just make another one. Then you'd just have a 35mm print of Pulp Fiction.

Sure, you could still make money selling it, but how many people want a 35mm print of Pulp Fiction? It's a buyer's market.

And if Tarantino didn't make another 35mm print of Pulp Fiction, how would you verify that yours was his personal print?

She also ditches an unwanted child to focus on her own self-advancement?

Curious how this film passes off Bartlesville, Oklahoma, its filming location, for Silicon Valley.

It's Sherlock Holmes without Sherlock or crimes?

What if House, but with Moriarty?

Didn't CBS just air a modern-day twist on Sherlock Holmes?

Yes. Elementary. 2012-2019. Lucy Liu as Watson.

Watson's showrunner also worked on Elementary.

A legal procedural in which Watson's non-binary, half-Latine son prosecutes crimes that he and Sherlock solved, to complete the triptych.

The Turkish show Muscles and Brains filmed recently in the Dominican Republic and will launch on October 28.

The format sees twelve men and women live together in a camp, where in duos they compete in intense physical tasks and complicated brainteasers.

The longer the men endure in physical, the longer the women have to solve the questions.

Competitors search for their ideal partners as they go, meaning strategic alliances and plots will form, with the goal being to outlast the others and win a grand prize. [source]

At least the women aren't cooking…?

Blacks and Asians.

  • </English Teacher, S01>
  • "Hey, I'm going to brunch with Summer. I said you'd pay for it because you felt guilty about being weird yesterday."

Al Roker's Sweet Potato Poon

Nestlé makes Crunch Bar, except in America, where the Ferrara Candy Company makes it.

Nestlé makes Kit Kat, except in America, where the Hershey Company makes it.

Rowntree's created Kit Kat and licensed its production in America to the Hershey Company.

When Nestlé acquired Rowntree's, it had to honor the Hershey Company's Kit Kat license.

So long as the Hershey Company is not sold, Nestlé cannot make Kit Kat in America.

Kit Kat is Nestlé's best-selling confectionery product globally, so of course it wants the Hershey Company to sell.

But whoever acquires the Hershey Company will not acquire Kit Kat, one of the Hershey Company's best-selling products, with it.

No Kit Kat decreases the Hershey Company's valuation.

As such, the Hershey Company is not incentivized to sell.

Nestlé should cut a 'Marvel Studios Sony Pictures Spider-Man' deal with the Hershey Company to make better Kit Kat in America.

Wikipedia » The Hershey Company » Perception outside the U.S. »

The presence of butyric acid in Hershey's chocolate, due to the use of controlled lipolysis in the production process, results in a flavor unfamiliar to those accustomed to chocolate from other parts of the world.

In the UK, this has often been compared to the smell and taste of vomit.

The producers are definitely sending in a sex addict.
