Every Quentin Tarantino Movie Ranked From Worst to Best
 
There's a reason Quentin Tarantino is among the most beloved American directors: Tarantino's personal story is a deeply American one. A self-made man who got to where he is based on his own talent and passion, he's gone from a film-obsessed video store clerk to a one of Hollywood's most recognizable and legendary directors. But he's also redefined American cinema as we know it, with Pulp Fiction working as a blueprint for the future of independent film. (It's also worth noting that he captures America's love of violence and pop culture unlike anyone else.) His style and movie language has reshuffled and synthesized decades of film history into something that goes far beyond homage into an entirely new world of storytelling. But not every Tarantino film is on the same level, and as Jules said it best in Pulp Fiction, a few of these movies "ain't the same fuckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fuckin' sport."

This Is an Impeach By Any Other Name
 
Sorry, gang. It's not good television. It's not great optics. But it's a big turn of the screw. The House Judiciary Committee plans to represent to a court of competent jurisdiction that it is considering bringing forth articles of impeachment against the president*. It is couching its request in purely constitutional terms—namely, its Article I powers to recommend and to act upon such proposed measures. Once this is done, if it gets the evidence it seeks, the committee at least will have to launch an impeachment inquiry to test that evidence. If it doesn't, the committee will be guilty of misrepresenting itself to the courts, which the courts do not like at all. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The True Story Behind Bruce Lee's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Character
 
In 1969, after the brutal killings of five people, including actress Sharon Tate, at a Benedict Canyon home north of Beverly Hills, the police found a pair of horn-rimmed glasses they believed could belong to the killer. Roman Polanski was in London when he found out about the murder of Tate, who he was married to at the time. After he returned to the U.S., the crime remained unsolved for months—and Polanski became obsessed with it. After learning about the glasses at the crime scene, he bought a Vigor lens-measuring gauge, he explains in his memoir Roman by Polanski, which he hoped could help aid in the investigation.

How to Make a Sidecar
 
A traditional Sidecar is as simple as a cocktail comes: three ingredients—cognac, orange liqueur, and lemon juice—shaken with ice and strained into a glass, ungarnished. It's a no-nonsense holdover from the roaring '20s, and an indisputably valuable addition to anyone's classic cocktail arsenal. And you can make it that simply, with two parts cognac, one part orange liqueur, and one part lemon juice. But, unfortunately, there's no hard-and-fast rule with the ratio, so you might find a better balance for your tastes by tweaking it. Nor will any two Sidecars you order at any two bars be the same.

These Are the Best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Style Deals
 
Nordstrom's anniversary sale is the best. It really is. A lot of times, brands, stores, or websites put stuff on sale that's...not that great. It's just stuff you don't really need, but it looks flashy because it's marked down. Nordstrom does not do that. Its very famous anniversary sale puts good stuff on sale, and on a major discount, at that. It includes new-season product—so, not just stuff the store is trying to get rid of—as well as flagship products from brands that don't often go on sale. Read More
