Is he good enough to get the flames to the cup?
I'm just frustrated with the impatience this club exhibits and miss opportunities that everyone sees will come.
Rotten Tomatoes: 58% (65 critics) with 6.40 in average rating
> Critics consensus: Don't Look Up aims too high for its scattershot barbs to consistently land, but Adam McKay's star-studded satire hits its target of collective denial square on.
Metacritic: 53/100 (21 critics)
As with other movies, the scores are set to change as time passes. Meanwhile, I'll post some short reviews on the movie.
> A cynical, insufferably smug satire stuffed to the gills with stars that purports to comment on political and media inattention to the climate crisis but really just trivializes it. Dr. Strangelove it ain’t.
-David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
> McKay’s tone may be grating, even if you don’t have to look far to see some version of what he’s ranting about in the real world. That makes “Don’t Look Up” a different kind of disaster movie, where the threat isn’t what’s to come so much as the state of affairs as they now stand.
> Some problems can’t be solved by celebrities alone, and the most subversive thing about “Don’t Look Up” is ultimately how — in its own impotent way — it weaponizes its wild star power to make that point. It isn’t smart enough to be a wakeup call or shocking enough to scare people straight, but in the early days of a century in which the world has become a farce of itself and comedians are the only people still afforded $75 million to make serious-minded original cinema, maybe all we can do with the time that remains is stare at our screens and lament how we got here.
> As subject matter, it’s entirely necessary. There has been a curious dearth of movies that look intently at climate change, so McKay’s intentions are noble. But as he did with The Big Short and Vice, McKay lacquers Don’t Look Up with an impenetrable layer of smugness. Whatever broadly worthy message the movie has is drowned out by a parade of movie-star mugging and stale pop culture jokes.

- Richard Alexander "Alex" Murdaugh faces nearly 50 charges for financial crimes and a "Person of Interest" on potential criminal charges;
- Now, eight clients are threatening to sue Alex Murdaugh, alleging that he stole money from clients;
- In September, Alex Murdaugh attempted to arrange his own death by a hitman in an insurance scheme, the staged drive-by shooting happened just three months after Murdaugh had called 911 in a panic, saying he’d found his wife and son were shot to death on their property, now nearly 50 charges that he stole money from his clients;
- Attorney Justin Bamberg prepared to file nine new civil lawsuits on behalf of eight clients against Alex Murdaugh, his associates, and banks for fraud schemes to steal their money, if the parties don’t agree to pay up;
- “What has transpired is so egregious, it’s gonna go one of two ways,” Bamberg says. “Either all of these people and institutions will voluntarily try to make this right, or,if they choose not to, we are going to file multi-million-dollar lawsuits in Hampton County and let the people of Hampton County make this right.”;
- Alex Murdaugh scammed people was that he’d offer his services as a lawyer to someone who had an insurance claim, say, from an accident, Murdaugh would convince them to hire a third party friends, Cory Fleming of the law firm of Moss, Kuhn, and Suspended Fleming AND Russell Laffitte, Fired CEO and Director of Palmetto State Bank to manage the money allowing Murdaugh and co-conspirators to hide the financial processes from the client, and Murdaugh, Fleming, and Lafitte, and the corresponding law firms and bank would keep large portions of their settlement money for themselves;
- Attorney Bamberg is particularly angered by the plight of one client, Pamela Pinckney, whose deaf son (Hakeem Pinckney) was paralyzed in a car accident. Because he was unable to communicate by sign language, when his ventilator somehow got unplugged, he suffocated to death in 2011 in a care facility;
- Alex Murdaugh had promised to help Hakeem Pinckney's family in a lawsuit against a tire company, but ultimately Alex Murdaugh and his co-conspirators stole the settlement money for themselves. Murdaugh convinced the family to hire a friend Russell Lafitte of his at Palmetto State Bank as a conserva

Do your worst!
by u/theXpertGuy (now following the trend, u/[deleted] )
I found this subreddit recently and I noticed that a lot of the users here are avid reddit users preparing for competitive exams, just like I was a couple years ago. There are a few things that I wish I did differently during my preparation. I'm writing this guide in hope that atleast one of you who reads this decides to change their manner of preparation even the slightest bit. And trust me that if you do, it will go a long way.
Though this guide is tailored primarily towards the serious/semi-serious JEE 2021 and JEE 2022 aspirants, I'll throw in a few pointers for the JEE 2020 aspirants too. I guess I should start by a little introduction. My name is Harsh Lulla. I have been preparing at Allen since I was in 10th and gave this year's JEE Mains January shift. I got a percentile of 99.9945425. This makes me the Mumbai topper, which I guess, qualifies me to write this guide. Additionally I was also AIR 59 in KVPY SA 2018, cleared the NSEP, NSEC, NSEA and InPhO this year.
So without further ado, lets get into this guide.
1. Take interest in what you're learning: If you ask me whether the hard-working or the intelligent student scores the top ranks, I'd say neither. There is one, and only one factor that decides your rank, and that's the interest you take in your studies.
Of course this doesn't exempt you from reading your course books, or from solving your study packages. Interest in the subject alone cannot get you a top rank, but disinterest can go a long way to ruin your rank. I've seen people get demotivated from the science stream, and switch to commerce and the humanities. I'm sorry to be blunt, but if you despise science enough to even consider that, JEE isn't for you. Switch to another stream that suits you more. Not persuing engineering is not the end of the world. Infact other streams may present more, and better career opportunities.
If you decide that science is the stream for you, you still need the momentum that lasts till the minute you give your JEE Advanced paper. To ensure this, develop a deep rooted interest in the subject. Science is not about a test paper, nor is it about problems. It is a beautiful subject manifested from the nature around you. There's a lot to it that just the plain boring pen and paper.

The Family murders are the name of the murders of five young men and teenagers who happened in Adelaide, South Australia between 1979 and 1983. There’s a conviction in the last murder in the series, but I will include it due to the similarity and due to the man convicted being suspected in the other murders as well. There’s quite a lot of characters in this story but I will mainly focus on the three main suspects. The crimes are believed to be committed by a loosely knit group consisting of 12-13 individuals.
The suspects
I’ll start with the last murder.
Bevan von Einem was convicted in 1984 of the 1983 murder of 15-year-old Richard Dallas Kelvin. Kelvin was the son of a popular local news presenter and had gone missing, not long from his home on June 5, 1983. His body was found in scrub in Kersbrook on July 24, 1983, but is believed to have died around July 10 or July 11. His cause of death was blood loss due to an anal injury, likely caused by the insertion of a large blunt object. He had been held captive and tortured for around 5 weeks, and there was evidence that his hair had been cut in captivity. Five drugs were found in his system, Mandrax, Noctec, Rohypnol, Valium, and Amatel. Both the cause of death and Mandrax and Noctec are a recurring theme in these crimes.
Bevan von Einem, also known as BVE, was born on May 29, 1946. He would drive around and pick up hitchhikers, offer them a spiked drink before raping them. Often he would undo his car exhaust or pull his choke out, before asking young men to help him. He would build relationships with drug addicts and give them drugs in exchange for helping him lure young men into his care. He would also use transgender women or crossdressers to lure young men under the pretense of going to a party. I only mention that they are transgenders due to it being a trait of his. He would also use his female friends as lures.
Mr R, also known as “The Businessman”, was born in 1946, and was 33-years-old in 1979. He has lived with his partner known only as MGL in one of Adelaide’s “money suburbs” since the late 1970’s and is still living at the same house.
Mr B, also known as “The Doctor”, was named as one of the main suspects by South Australian police in 2008. It’s known he was born in the UK in May 1956 and moved to Australia in 1966. He grew up with his six siblings on the outskirts of Adelaide. It’s mentioned that he was a former “child prostitute” but this isn’t elaborated on. He met BVE in 1

I went to prison for the first time when I was nineteen for my involvement in an armed robbery.
The guns were fakes and the gang I was part of were not much better. The whole sorry incident ended with us driving into a police car.
The second time I was sent to prison was for a killing I did not commit. I was thirty. The three men I had carried out the armed robbery with were dead. One had hung himself in his cell. One had died in another botched robbery. Most of the third man had been found in a river.
I could not see any future for myself that did not involve any early grave. And then I was approached in a bar by a man who I knew by reputation. He was an associate of a local big-time criminal.
He bought me a drink and explained that someone needed to take the fall for an act of retribution. That person would be protected while in prison, and when they got out there would be a tidy sum in their bank account.
At that point in my life, it was a no-brainer. I asked no questions. I did as I was told.
I had a very good and, presumably, very crooked legal representative and I was convicted of manslaughter and sent to a medium security prison.
It was no holiday camp, but I did my time and kept myself to myself. The prison had a small garden and I was able to spend a few hours every week working there. I got a couple of books on horticulture to learn more.
I'd never done anything like this before and was amazed at how much pleasure tending that patch of land brought me.
When I was released at the end of my sentence, for the first few days I missed being hunched over planting and digging and weeding. I day-dreamed about becoming a gardener. About earning a living, honestly.
I should have known better.
I had already drifted back to some of my old haunts and was in the bar one afternoon when I saw a familiar face. Last time I had seen him, he had bought me a drink and offered me a deal.
Now, he was heading for my table with another man by his side. My nerves began to tingle.
I knew who this was. I'd seen photographs in newspapers. Stories about a crime boss that the police and courts had never been able to pin anything on.
One of the papers had not even bothered using the word ‘alleged’ before ‘crime boss’ in their latest report. A few days later, the journalist's car was fire-bombed.
So, yes, I was on edge and trying frantically to think if I had done anything wrong. Telling myself equally frantically that I was a small fry. The main man would not com
