The Brady Bunch Movie was released 31 years ago.

The joke was built on contrast. The Brady family was played completely straight, like they were still living in the 1970s, while the modern world reacted around them.

It often pays to read the actual article in full.

@colemanjspilde The acting in the Laguna Beach intro montage is even a smidge more believable by these standards!!

@DPD_ Unexpected backlash! There was a big uproar among fans that he “sold out” and that mainstream media would make it inauthentic so CBS fizzled the project and he (maybe) bought it back? Wild ride.

@aservais1 @artnews Thank you, Alain!

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

When local news outlets are bought by greedy corporations and run into the ground, people suffer. Critical information is unavailable, suffering goes overlooked, leaders aren’t scrutinized.

This is happening everywhere.

Erwin, TN, has been devastated by the flooding from Helene. Interstate 26 washed away near exit 40. My heart hurts tonight. I've made some of my favorite hiking memories in the hills of East Tennessee.

Western North Carolina is effectively cut off due to extreme flooding.

All interstates in/out are closed or blocked, and most state highways are blocked too. NC DOT is saying "All roads should be considered closed" except for emergency use. #ncwx

With “Bless Your Heart,” three photographers have amassed a delightfully puzzling exhibition that’s less concerned with documenting the region they call home and more about a sardonic appreciation of Appalachian sensibilities.

@eddy_sarah “Track Changes” is a great collection abt art writing from contemp pros. “Challenging Art” documents the early years of Artforum but may be out of print. Douglas Crimp’s memoir “Before Pictures” is fantastic biography of an art writer’s early years in NYC!
