Why CCTV has failed to deter criminals → guardian.co.uk

“I won’t pretend to understand the forces that led my neighbours to take to the street and smash and burn and hurt each other. I don’t think I know what “pure and simple criminality” is – presumably, it’s some imperceptible pollen that drifts through society and alights on people, which is awfully convenient for government because “pure and simple” criminality has no cause and therefore no one to blame and nothing that can be done to prevent it.”

Disney executive says that story doesn't matter when it comes to making successful movies → avclub.com

hugonebula:

“People say ‘It’s all about the story,’” Hendrickson said. “When you’re making tentpole films, bullshit.”

Hendrickson then provided a chart of the top 12 highest-grossing films of all time, singling out his studio’s own Alice In Wonderland: “The story isn’t very good, but visual spectacle brought people in droves,” he said, adding, “And Johnny Depp didn’t hurt.”

Reblogging this from myself for all the people who have reposted it and took off the gif, or kept the gif and lost the link. Manners don’t cost anything. There’s a specific reason I linked to the Disney story and paired it with the Snow White “You’re a cunt,” gif. If you want the link to the Disney story without the profanity, make your own link post to the news story; if you like the profane gif, but don’t care about the Disney story, save the gif and post it separately. Both options are simple and easy, I won’t know anything about what you do, and you won’t piss me off by fucking with my posts. Thank you for reading.
