Why Jennifer Lawrence’s movie ‘Mother!” bombed at the box office – INSIDER:
The ideas come from an outside source.. not my thoughts nor did I see the film. Most likely won’t.
But perhaps the best reason the foiled attempt at a movie really flopped? People found out about a scene in it that probably went too far, even for ‘art’ and allegory:
A cult kills a baby, tears it to pieces, eats it, and beats up Jennifer Lawrence. It’s not easy to recommend to friends.

Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands brace for Hurricane Maria:
San Juan (AFP) – Hurricane Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico on Wednesday, pummeling the US territory after already killing at least two people on its passage through the Caribbean.
The US National Hurricane Center warned of “large and destructive waves” as Maria came ashore near Yabucoa on the southeast coast.
Puerto Rico’s Governor Ricardo Rossello has told residents to brace for “the worst storm of the last century”, opening 500 shelters that can accommodate 67,000 people.
“The wind sounds like a woman screaming at the top of her lungs!” photographer and storm chaser Mike Theiss posted on Twitter as the hurricane hit.
“We are getting absolutely hammered right now.”
Puerto Ricans had scrambled to board up windows and buy last minute supplies as the storm approached the densely populated island of 3.5 million.
“Puerto Rico being hit hard by new monster Hurricane,” tweeted US President Donald Trump.

I CANNOT ADD ANY MORE TO THIS THAN WHAT A LOCAL CBS AFFILIATE DID IN COLORADO:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) – Police are searching for a woman who has been seen repeatedly defecating in a neighborhood while out running.
Cathy Budde says her kids saw the woman mid-squat and came running back in the house to tell her.
“They are like, ‘There’s a lady taking a poop!’ So I come outside, and I’m like … ‘are you serious?’” Budde said to the runner. “‘Are you really taking a poop right here in front of my kids?!’ She’s like, ‘Yeah, sorry!’”
Thirty-two years to the day after an earthquake killed thousands of people in Mexico, a powerful quake rattled the country’s central region Tuesday..
“We don’t have an estimate yet from authorities of how many buildings — but just photos and videos from people in the street show there are many buildings collapsed so far,” reporter James Fredrick told NPR. “The civil protection agency of Mexico City has confirmed that they’re beginning excavation work for people trapped inside collapsed buildings.”
Another problem loosed by the quake: Gas leaks have been reported across the city, some of which have already resulted in fires, according to Fredrick.
“God bless the people of Mexico City,” President Trump tweeted Tuesday in the aftermath. “We are with you and will be there for you.“

But look at this video collection of what happened today: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMrET1YFGMI]
I gave this some thought today too as I watched the horror unfold: What if it was created by a common thought? ….32 years since one massive quake, and it was on everyone’s mind. Did mass thought make a new one? Can that happen? … or is mother nature, churning with deadly hurricanes and now quakes, just that cruel?
History shows it? She is just that cruel.
“It’s a law that all schools and public institutions have to do a safety drill on Sept. 19,” Greg Berger, a journalist and professor in Cuernavaca, in the state of Morelos, told NPR’s Adhiti Bandlamudi. His 10-year-old son had already taken part in a drill at school in the morning — “then it started shaking again, and my son told me that he thought it was another drill, but a high-tech drill. He thought it was kind of cool, because he thought they were making the floors move.”
Just as collective consciousness can potentially move a storm, can it also create such heartbreak as we saw today?
