Christopher Nolan is such a fraud. There was no 65mm film in ancient Greece!

The President of the United States of America is retaliating against Canada for having wildfires by taxing hockey stick imports. Nobody could write this material. It's way too good.

I know we do this every day. But...imagine if Obama said this?

The silver goal thing blows my mind. Imagine how dramatic that would have been if an overtime goal ended the game...
