Comedy writer penned a perfect response to his son's permission slip
If one of your students is a comedy writer's kid, expect nothing less than mild public humiliation should you screw up.
When The Daily Show writer Daniel Radosh's son Milo came home with a permission slip requiring parental consent to read Fahrenheit 451, Radosh sent back a note highlighting the absurdity of such a request.
tfw your kid's school makes you sign a permission slip so he can read Fahrenheit 451 📚 🔥 http://pic.twitter.com/t9lmD8vKTu
— Daniel Radosh (@danielradosh) October 24, 2016
According to the original permission slip, Milo is in a book club that will begin reading Fahrenheit 451, the dystopian Ray Bradbury novel about book burning and censorship. The note mentioned plot points that might be viewed as problematic for other parents. For this comedian, however, it wasn't the novel's subject matter that stuck out. Read more...

Hit Korean movie 'Sunny' getting U.S. remake from producer Brett Ratner (Exclusive)
Brett Ratner's company RatPac Entertainment and fellow producer/financier CJ Entertainment have hired Heather Hach (What to Expect When You're Expecting) to write an English-language remake of the hit 2011 South Korean dramedy Sunny, Mashable has exclusively learned.
Written and directed by Kang Hyeong-cheol, the original Sunny follows a middle-aged woman who tries to fulfill her friend's dying wish of reuniting their group of high school friends. The film alternates between two timelines — present day when the women are middle-aged, and the 1980s when they were in high school.
Sunny won several awards in South Korea, where it performed well enough to merit a limited release in the U.S. Read more...

Harry Potter may have come out 19 years ago, but this party was 29 years in the making.
Liz Edmonds, a.k.an3rdychik on Imgur, shared photos of her intricate Harry Potter-themed 29th birthday party, complete with, well, way more Wizarding World references than you are expecting.
The party was thrown together by her friends as a surprise for Edmonds, and she was totally blown away.
"I've never had a surprise birthday party, let alone a Harry Potter themed party. I'm stationed in Germany and leaving to go back to the US 5 days before my birthday," she wrote on Imgur. Read more...

97-year-old Pearl Harbor Vet is living his dream of seeing the Cubs in the World Series
Die-hard Chicago Cubs fan and 97-year-old Jim Schlegel still has his ticket stubs from Games 6 and 7 of the 1945 World Series.
So when his granddaughter Helen Schlegel found out the Cubs were heading to the World Series for the first time in 71 years, she knew the biggest Cubs fan in her life had to be there to witness history.
Helen promptly set up a GoFundMe page to share her grandfather's story and managed to score two tickets to Game 3.
The plan was to raise $10,000 through the GoFundMe campaign with the intention of purchasing tickets. After the campaign raised over $800 in one night it caught the eye of Marcus Lemonis of CNBC's The Profit. Touched by the story, Lemonis tweeted his desire to take Schlegel to the game as his guest. After connecting with his granddaughter, he decided to give Jim his two front row tickets for free so that he could bring his own guest. Read more...
