There’s a kid who calls her father dada (dadda?..sp?) throughout the movie

I agree they need to hear the message. Just a bit of a stretch from the normal “working class” definition. I have a feeling a huge portion if not possibly a majority of attendees there have/had trust funds. They’re hardly paycheck to paycheck.

They’re dropping $1000+ per person for a concert, all said and done (food at places like this is crazy, travel costs, etc).

That said, you are absolutely right we shouldn’t divide ourselves up and I’m glad he was there. Just meant to observe the irony in the headline.

Love the message and I get that he’s trying to shift the popular view and this isn’t a bad place to do it

But Coachella isn’t exactly filled with your average “working class” folks. Tickets start at $600 per person.

Titanic was a hit, but in retrospect, horribly overrated and IMHO absolutely cliche, disrespectful, sacrilegious garbage.

Ah, I’ve even seen that one! Good call

Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.

But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven’t seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.

Saving Private Ryan is at least “very good” if not one of the greatest war movies of all time.

And The Burbs is classic 80s screwball comedy simmered to perfection (even if it isn’t a 'high art ’ genre)

Ah yes. “If you’re rich, nothing is illegal, there’s just a fee”

That’s definitely a thing, but something different.

I don’t think you get what I was saying. I’m not debating the definition of the word “fee.”

I’m saying that in most states in the USA, there’s often a fee for many things that can get gotten completely for free if you prove your income is low enough.

So I guess you could say you “pay a fee” of the extra time and hassle to prove your low income. But for something like a state ID, for instance, you can get one absolutely free (no money paid) if your income is low enough.

I believe OP’s point was that the title says “Teacher accused of sex with students.” It should read “Teacher accused of raping students”

One small point to correct/adjust is the idea that these sites were “ignored.”

The pyramids have been a tourist attraction for thousands of years. The Romans talked about visiting them. I’m guessing there was never a time when they weren’t of interest to people in the area. Same for something like the Colosseum, Parthenon, or Pantheon. They might not have always prioritized preservation, but they certainly didn’t forget they existed.

Reverse. It’s only a fee if you can afford it. If you can’t afford it, it’s free.

This is taking away the last reason any of my coworkers fly it for business. They have lots of direct, but they’re all in the middle of the day and don’t go to any smaller airports, requiring lots of extra driving if you need to visit a facility outside major metros.

For all their flaws, I love that I can take an American flight and land directly in a small town by 9am, do my business, hop in Lyft/Ubers, then fly back and not even spend the night. SWA coworkers spend less time in the air and at airports, but often have to spend 2 nights and spend hours in a rental car driving themselves the extra 2 hours each way to the town.
