Hi all It's basically "adults only" as far as new releases go this week. We cover a range of genres, including some well-rated Oscar hopefuls. First up is the holiday rom-com, Beautiful Wedding, which has not been well received, but is escapist fluff. The Color Purple is the musical version of the well-known book/film/stage play, and has very good reviews. So too with the gay drama, All of Us Strangers. Switching back to popcorn mode, Jason Statham is back doing what he does best in the action thriller The Beekeeper, which has decent-to-good ratings. It's also on the large format screens. Asia has the Malayalam action drama, Malaikottai Vaaliban, while The Fighter in Hindi opened yesterday.

To avoid terrible jokes, they set a rule: the old turtle will be the judge, and if she doesn't laugh, the contestant will be decapitated. The proud lion tells a joke about lascivious nuns. The audience bursts into thunderous laughter, but the turtle remains stoic, and the lion is decapitated. Then it's the monkey's turn, who tells a joke about gay individuals. Everyone doubles over in laughter, but the old turtle doesn't crack a smile. The monkey is decapitated. Next up is the hippopotamus, who starts a joke about the Chinese. Midway through, the old turtle bursts into laughter, bending over and compulsively tapping its shell, saying, "That nun joke was fantastic!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What does the YouTuber who makes videos for werewolves say in each video?

Foreman walks up to him and three other laborers who are waiting for an assignment. "That stack of bricks is in the way. I need the four of you to move them to that spot over there, and stack them back carefully." The group moves to the stack and starts moving bricks. After a few minutes the foreman glances over toward the group, watches for a minute, and then pulls the new hire aside. "I've been watching you work with the rest of the crew. Do you notice anything wrong?" New guy says he doesn't see a problem: the stack is being moved, no bricks are damaged, and the new stack is nicely lined-up in the correct spot. "Well, you're carrying two bricks each trip and the others are carrying four bricks. You don't see a problem with that?" "Now that you mention it, those guys are too lazy to make two trips!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A clown opened the door for me the other day.

He sat there in the driver’s seat wondering what he should do next, being in such a rural area, when a bee flies in through his window. The insect lands on his dashboard and lifts its head to look directly at Liam. “What seems to be your problem?” the bee asked. “I’ve run out of gas,” Liam replied. “That’s unfortunate,” the bee said. “However, if you wait here, I can help you.” The bee then flew off, only to return minutes later with an entire swarm of bees. They all flew into his gas tank, leaving Liam wondering exactly what was going on. After a few minutes the swarm flew off and the bee said to Liam, “Try it now”. Liam turned his ignition key and the car started immediately. “Wow,” Liam exclaimed. “What did you put in the gas tank?” The bee smiled and said: “BP of course.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just learned that Ohio has both the highest rates of depression and the most cheating spouses... It's a sad state of affairs! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice, the Justice League meets to discuss their plan to defeat the evil Count Dracula. Wonder Woman says, "The problem is, we don't know where Dracula could be hiding! He moves around so much, we'll never find him!" "I've been tracking his appearances for the past 72 hours," Batman replies, "and based on his movements so far, I have good reason to believe he'll be at the local cemetery, hiding in the crypt tonight." "Guys, I think I'll sit this one out," says Superman. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. First, a bit of a good news... You will all be on TV tonight...” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- One December day, Bratty Butchie decides to write his Christmas letter to Santa. When all of a sudden, his mom pops into his room. “What are you doing son?” she asks. “I’m writing my letter to Santa,” he says. “With how bad you’ve been this year, you’ll have to write a letter to Jesus to get anything!” So Butchie starts to write his letter to Jesus, and has to think about what he’s going to say. 'Dear Jesus, I’ve been a good boy this ye-' “Nah,” he thinks. “If Santa knows that’s not true, then Jesus will definitely know I’m lying.” So he tries again. 'Dear Jesus, I’ve been a somewhat good boy this ye-' “Nope,” he thinks to himself. “Jesus is probably smart enough to know that’s a lie also.” So to clear his mind and think better, Butchie goes for a walk. As he’s walking down the street, he spots a nativity scene on someone’s front lawn. He goes up to it, steals Mary away from the manger and takes it home. As he to sits down, he has the perfect idea of what he’s going to write...

Everything goes perfectly smoothly, not a hiccup... except the baby does not cry. The doctors check him and find him in perfect health. As the months and years begin to go on he continues to make no sound, and his parents take him to several doctors who all say there's nothing wrong, health wise or developmentally, so the parents just figure that's how it's going to be and deal with it accordingly. It's the German boy's fifth birthday, and it's a very normal German affair; the adults are drinking pilsner, and there is flaumenkuche and streudel being passed around. Just out of pure habit, the mother leans down and asks the boy, "Well, how did you enjoy your birthday?" The boy thinks for a moment, then says, "You know, I believe the streudel was a bit tepid." The room goes silent in awe. The mother begins to tear up and sinks to her knees to hug her boy, saying, "We all thought you could not speak! Why have you never, before now, said anything?" The boy responds, "Well, up until now everything was satisfactory." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99.9% of people are idiots.
