‘Eighth Grade’ is Holding Free Screenings Across the Country That Won’t Enforce R-Rating
Despite its title, eighth graders probably won’t be able to see Eighth Grade in theaters. Bo Burnham‘s incisive, incredible film about coming of age in the digital age was saddled with an R-rating thanks to a few errant curse words that the MPAA is unreasonably strict about.

The Dongzhi Festival, celebrated on the Winter Solstice by the Chinese and other East Asian, is known as a time to gather together and eat. Some favorite dishes include dumplings, sweet, sticky rice balls, and wontons. Here are some excellent bowls to fill up this holiday season.

Louis C.K. has been accused of sexual misconduct by five women, according to a new report published by the New York Times on Thursday, with two women telling the paper the comedian exposed himself to them in 2002 and masturbated.
“We were paralyzed,” Dana Min Goodman told the newspaper of the time she said C.K. invited her and her comedy partner, Julia Wolov, to hang out in his Aspen hotel room before asking if he could taking out his penis.
“He proceeded to take all of his clothes off, and get completely naked, and started masturbating,” Goodman said.
Another woman, Abby Schachner, told the Times she could hear C.K. masturbating during a phone call with her in 2003.
“I definitely wasn’t encouraging it.” Schachner said. “You want to believe it’s not happening.”
Lewis Kay, the comedian’s publicist, did not respond to a request for comment on the Times story from BuzzFeed News. However, he told the Times that C.K. “is not going to answer any questions.” In the past, C.K. has dismissed gossip similar to the allegations reported by the Times on Thursday as just “rumors.”
I have had this theory for a while that you can tell a lot about a person if they tell you what their favorite 10 movies are. I’m not saying you will find your soul mate this way, but I think it tells you if you can get along with someone if you can find common ground in what their favorite 10 movies are. Even if none of them match, the important thing is you can see the merit in what they picked. It doesn’t bode well for a relationship if you can’t understand their reasoning on their choices.
