10 of the Best Stealth Thanksgiving Movies

Rocky Official Trailer #1 - Burgess Meredith Movie (1976) HD Sylvester Stallone’s tale of a palooka from Philly who gets a lucky break contains a Thanksgiving scene where Rocky’s mousy girlfriend Adrian is preparing a turkey. Paulie, her asshole brother, throws the bird out the door while Rocky watches. Paulie is forcing his shut-in sister to come out of her shell and go on date with Rocky, so he’s not as horrible as it seems at first. ( Rocky is more complex movie than people know.) In keeping with the rule of sequels that declares everything must be bigger and worse, Thanksgiving plays a role in Rocky 2, but it’s not as the setting for a complicated familial relationship. Instead, it’s a boxing match: The big fight between Rocky and Apollo Creed that ends the movie takes place on Thanksgiving. But Rocky 2 is a seriously terrible movie, so don’t watch it on Thanksgiving or any other day. Where to stream: Available for rental only on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, and Yo...

Don’t Make These Mistakes When You Attend a Music Festival

Don’t take drugs you’re not familiar with—festivals generally aren’t the best setting for experimentation. Also: If the drugs you enjoy aren’t legal where the festival is being held, understand the risks you are taking by possessing or using them. Festivals usually search you at the entrance, and some festivals even employ drug-sniffing dogs . Undercover police work festivals and are drawn to people acting suspiciously. Speaking of drug dealers: Strangers selling illegal drugs are rarely people you should trust, and sometimes potentially lethal substances laced with fentanyl are encountered. That said, of the 250,000 attendees of Coachella in 2020 , there were no deadly overdoses, and only 112 festival-goers were arrested—85 for intoxication, three for selling drugs, and the rest for property crimes and fake IDs. https://www.tausiinsider.com/dont-ma...
