Although being a giant box office success, movie theater business was less enthused about the movie “A Quiet Place” because the ambiance of the movie was such that any type of loud eating was shamed leading to people not buying any food. Cinemas normally earn more from food than tickets.

“The Simpsons” Accurately Predicted the End of “Games of Thrones” Years Ago (Among Other Things)
Game of Thrones is over, and most of the show’s fans are incredibly disappointed. Naturally, a lot of them have turned to other shows and the internet to try to find some kind of closure.
*spoilers* You have been warned.
One of the most shocking/frustrating moments of the last season was the second-to-last episode, The Bells. In a fit of somewhat inexplicable rage, Daenerys Stormborn and her dragon, Drogon, completely torch King’s Landing even after the citizens of the city had already surrendered. Dani goes on to slaughter thousands of innocent men, women, and children, along with her entire character arc.
The insane thing is, this carnage was predicted by The Simpsons back in 2017! It’s as if the show’s creators knew this was coming.
In this episode, “Serfsons” you’ll see Marge, Homer, Bart, and Lisa looking down over their city dressed in medieval clothing.
“Look,” says Bart, pointing out the massive red dragon burning down the city, “the dragon is burning our village.”
“I love our life,” Homer says.
Easy for Homer to say. He’s a cartoon! When this GoT episode aired we were all like, “I hate my life!” No? Just me?
Anyway, moving on. After the showed aired, Twitter immediately clapped back:
The simpsons wtf !!!!

It seems The Simpsons have a knack for predicting the future. 18 times, actually! Like when the US beat Sweden in curling at the Olympic games (Episode “Boy Meets Curl”) and the Siegfried and Roy tiger attack (Episode “$pringfield”).
Check out a bunch of other things The Simpsons got right:
Pretty interesting…

Man Discovers a Bear Has Been Bribing His Dog with Deer Bones to Gain Access to the Trash Can
Personally, I’d be scared s***less if I found a bear was hanging out near my dog/house. Twitter user Jesse Jordan is clearly a better man than I am, as he was mad about this situation for an entirely different reason.
Jordan, who lives in a remote part of Canada, was shocked to find that his dog, Brick, has been accepting deer bones as a gift from a smart bear who is, in turn, granted access to Jordan’s trash. And you know how much bears loooooooove trash.
My idiot furry son has one job at night – bork at things and make them go away. Easy, right?
HOWEVER, a bear has learned that my furry son can be bought. This is the THIRD TIME he's been gifted deer bones in exchange for being allowed access to my trash, AND HE KEEPS DOING IT. pic.twitter.com/6NOKiFNLgm
— Jesse 'Great Tim Horton's Ghost!' Jordan (@JesseNeon) May 8, 2019
As you can see, Brick was bribed with some pretty big bones, so you can sympathize with his situation. I mean, how could he possibly turn those bad boys down?!?!
Jordan had to face the hard truth that Brick is just not cut out for this kind of work.
Although I basically handed my dog this position of power, it's become very clear that he has no idea how to actually do the job properly; now not only do I have to clean up a huge mess, I see him putting his own self-interest first. Clearly, I have no choice but to impeach him.
— Jesse 'Great Tim Horton's Ghost!' Jordan (@JesseNeon) May 8, 2019
Indeed, this is an impeachable offense. And although Jordan was pretty miffed by this offense, he had to admit that Brick is a damn good boy.
Just so I don't have to repeat it any more, doggo's name is Brickleberry but he answers to Brick. He's a mastiff/hound mutt with some beagle in him, and he is the best boi. His mom died days after he was born, so I raised him by hand. He is great with kids and apparently bears.
— Jesse 'Great Tim Horton's Ghost!' Jordan (@JesseNeon) May 9, 2019
People on Twitter loved the story and shared their thoughts about Jordan and his sidekick, Brick.

That is some Honey Heist style diplomacy and I am here for it. Now I want to know what type of hat this criminal bear wears.
— CeramicOwlbear (@CeramicOwlbear) May 8, 2019
Seems like their relationship is fairly established. It's doubtful the bear of the dog anticipate bothering each other. Instead, the are the funniest animal duo seen lately.
— Trisherann (@Trisherann) May 9, 2019
This just sounds like you're not paying him enough.
If the bear is offering a better deal, you can't blame him for taking it. Capitalism.
— Erin (@ErinandEmmainFL) May 8, 2019
The dog should be running the place by now. Workers should own the means of production.
— Jesse Dahl (@thisistherevolt) May 8, 2019
Well at least they were negotiating…the bear-dog divide has historically been terrible but this is great bipartisan, interspecies work.
— (((Barb Kittridge))) (@kittrdg) May 8, 2019
And Jordan had one final thought for all the Tweeters out there.
I -have- to turn off notifications for this thread, but I'll leave you all with one final reminder that black bears are a nuisance in northern Ontario and not typically a threat, meaning Brick is very much not likely to get eaten. If he was, I wouldn't let him sleep outside. pic.twitter.com/I1gtj5iXuU
— Jesse 'Great Tim Horton's Ghost!' Jordan (@JesseNeon) May 9, 2019
Oh Brick, you really did it this time…
But we shouldn’t be too hard on him, right? I mean, find me a furry doggo that would ever turn down a heaping helping of deer bones.
Go ahead…I’ll wait.
That’s right, the answer is, they would all do the same exact that good ol’ Brick did in this situation.

These Alternate Endings for “Game of Thrones” Are Easily Better Than What We Got
Game of Thrones was one of the greatest television shows ever made, both in terms of story/cast and in terms of the sheer scope the money spent per episode.
It’s last season, however, was… disappointing to say the least.

This is legit the ending I wanted. If Dany is gonna go mad… GO FULL TARGARYEN!
#GameOfThrones Alternate Ending:
-Jon and Dany hug
-Dany stabs Jon bc he’s a threat to her crown
-All of the other houses join forces against her
-History repeats itself trying to outst a mad Targaryen from the throne
-The wheel is unbroken; the Game of Thrones never ends— Julia Yorks (@juliayorks) May 20, 2019
No. I can’t do this to Arya’s epic win.
Alternate ending: The Night King wasn’t defeated in episode 3. Daenerys, Jon and the others are now in King’s Landing and Winter is finally here. The snow indicates that the NK is almost there. The final battle will soon begin. We just have to wait for season 9… #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/acaFQrr0sL

Brienne: and an athlete.
Sam: and a basket case.
Davos: a princess.
Bronn: and a criminal.
Tyrion: does that answer your question?
DON’T YOU. FORGET ABOUT ME

And a lot of people wanted this to happen, but Jon wasn’t fireproof like Dany. Sorry fan family!
This would’ve been a great ending!

My alternate ending to #GameOfThrones where after Bran is installed as the king of the realm on the throne, that as the final scene fades with a close-up on his eyes as they turn blue.

Good job everybody. I’m officially impressed.
Now then… what will the Game of Thrones spinoff series be? Arya on the high seas? A prequel set thousands of years in the past?
Tell us HBO! We want to know!!!

A Dark Family Secret Could Explain Karen Carpenter’s Eating Disorder
Back in the 1970s, Karen Carpenter and her husband, Richard, were a musical force to be reckoned with, selling over 100 million records before Karen’s longstanding battle with anorexia forced her to retire from the stage and eventually ending in her untimely death at the age of 32.
Image Credit: Public Domain
While a CBS documentary called The Karen Carpenter Story (you can rent it on Amazon) makes no mention of the potential reasons for Karen’s struggle with her body image, author Randy Schmidt blames her struggle on her mother, Agnes.
During the making of the documentary Agnes said there was no reason to cast an ugly light on the family, refusing to put any discussion of potential familial negativity – but Schmidt believes the real reason she was uninterested in delving into the past was that Karen’s anorexia stemmed directly from her mother’s “inability to love.” He claims that Agnes withheld affection from her daughter starting at a young age and continuing through high school.
Image Credit: Wikipedia
Schmidt’s book, Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter, details Karen’s eating disorder, which began shortly after the “chubby teenager” graduated from high school. Her health took a nosedive after she began performing since she didn’t like the way she looked onstage, and she regularly chose to hide in fluffy blouses or jumpers when she wasn’t in front of an audience.
She was so thin that fans thought she might have cancer, and since anorexia was (and often remains) a taboo topic, no one talked about what was really wrong with her.
Image Credit: Wikipedia
Karen herself denied that anything was wrong or that she was ill, and, despite attempts by friends to convince her to see a therapist, her parents’ attitude that psychiatrists were for “crazy people” dissuaded her.
Despite eventual treatment, she continued to harm herself with laxatives and unprescribed thyroid medication, a trend that doctors were unable to reverse when she was finally admitted to a hospital.
She died at just 32 years old, most of her dreams and career aspirations unrealized.

15+ Kids Reveal the Shocking Reasons They Were Disowned by Their Parents
Can you imagine ever having such a horrible fight with your child that you’d disown them? Even if you don’t have kids right now, it’s pretty hard to imagine, right?
Sadly, it does happen. Sometimes the kids might actually be at fault, but more often then not it’s the parents who simply cannot accept something about their child.
These people were disowned by their own parents, and these confessions explain why.
The reasons will shock you.
1. Reach out to them if you think enough time has passed. You never know…

Photo Credit: Whisper
18. Jeezus… what kind of monsters disown somebody for THIS?
Photo Credit: Whisper
19. Well, best they’re not around you and your family then.
Photo Credit: Whisper
Listen, many parents aren’t people we trust or respect, so not having them in our lives in any meaningful way won’t hurt us.
Still, it is nice to have somebody in your corner when you need it, and a good, loving parent or parents can really help out.
What do you think?
