Hooters WaitressHey Officer …Breathalyze Me with a Kiss!!!
A Hooters waitress is turning heads for all the wrong reasons after being pulled over for drinking and driving and then trying to flirt her way out of a DUI.
Bodycam footage of Sophia Gabrielle, a Sarasota, Florida Hooters waitress has taken the Internet by storm after her chaotic, flirty attempt to avoid being arrested. The saga shows the server’s increasingly wild antics after being pulled over following a night of drinking.
WHATEVER YOU WANT OFFICER
At one point in the body camera footage, the server is heard telling the responding officer, “Dave, we’re gonna make out!” as she repeatedly calls the officer “daddy” telling him she’ll do anything for him. The officer laughs.Play video content

Later on in the video, the server attempts to get the officer’s cell phone number as her intense flirting continues. In a final attempt, she leaned in during her arrest, asking the officer, “What? You afraid I’m gonna grab your d**k?” The officer declined her advances.
Despite doing everything she could to avoid getting in trouble with the law like going on to give the officer a critique of his uniform, she was cuffed and loaded into the cop car after refusing to finish the sobriety test.

The server later addressed the incident captioning her TikTok, “Uber is cheaper.”
While her fate remains unclear, one thing is certain … this Hooters waitress has solidified her place as the internet’s drunk drama queen of the week.

Renton Police Department
Four people, including three teenagers, have been arrested in connection with an alleged hate crime attack on a transgender woman in Washington state, police said.
The incident occurred Monday night near a transit center in the Seattle suburb of Renton, following an argument the 39-year-old woman told officers she had with the group earlier that evening, police said.
“When she saw them again, they chased her, knocked her to the ground, and repeatedly assaulted her,” the Renton Police Department said in a statement. “During the assault, the victim says the suspects made homophobic remarks to her.”

The woman told police that she initially encountered the group at the transit center “harassing various people,” according to the charging documents.
“She told the group to stop bothering people, which caused the group to turn their attention on her,” the documents stated.
The woman told police someone yelled a homophobic slur at her, and then the group “began charging towards her,” and she ran away, according to the charging documents.
She told police she tripped and then heard someone in the group yell a transphobic slur at her, according to the charging documents. As she tried to get up, several people in the group began assaulting her, according to the documents.
The woman said one of the attackers choked her and that she began to feel weak, according to the documents.
“The victim said she believed she was going to die and thought this was the point that they were going to kill her,” the documents stated.

Video of the alleged assault filmed by a witness showed several people in the group “violently punch and kick the victim” in her upper torso and head, including while she was on the ground, according to the charging documents. The group is then seen picking up their belongings and walking away while the woman is on the ground, according to the documents.
The woman was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, according to police. She suffered multiple broken bones, including a broken nose, a broken occipital bone, a broken orbital bone and lost consciousness during the attack, according to the charging documents.

Officers arrested two of the suspects — 15- and 17-year-old brothers — near the scene, police said. They have since been charged by prosecutors with second-degree assault and a hate crime in juvenile court, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said. During their arraignment Friday at the Clark Child and Family Justice Center in Seattle, they both pleaded not guilty and were ordered to remain on electronic home monitoring, the prosecuting attorney’s office said.
A third suspect — a 16-year-old boy — was arrested Thursday on assault and hate crime charges, police said. Officers identified him through his high school campus security team, according to court filings.
During his first court appearance Friday afternoon at the Clark Child and Family Justice Center, the judge found there was probable cause for the arrest on the charges and ordered that the suspect be released on electronic home detention, according to court filings. A charging decision for the teen is expected on Sept. 23, prosecutors said.
A fourth and final suspect in the case turned himself in to police late Thursday, hours after the Renton Police Department released images on social media seeking to identify him, authorities said.
The images were taken from police body camera footage, authorities said. An officer who responded to the transit center for a pepper spray report spoke to the suspect approximately 10 minutes before the alleged assault, according to the charging documents.
“A family member recognized the suspect’s photo on the Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound website and convinced him to turn himself in,” police said in an update Friday.
The 25-year-old man — identified by the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office as Ramodre Edwards — was booked into the King County jail early Friday on suspicion of assault and hate crime, officials said. During his first court appearance on Friday, the judge found there was probable cause for the arrest on the charges and set his bail at $300,000, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said they expect to have a charging decision regarding Edwards on Sept. 23.
Attorney information for Edwards was not immediately available.
SHORT TAKE: “Dead Man’s Wire,” “Marty Supreme”
January 10, 2026 by butlerscinemascene
Dacre Montgomery, Bill Skarsgard
“DEAD MAN’S WIRE” My rating: B (In theaters)
105 minutes | MPAA rating: R
The ghost of “Dog Day Afternoon” haunts Gus van Sant’s “Dead Man’s Wire,” a criminal yarn about one man’s fight against basically everybody.
Like Sidney Lumet’s 1975 classic, “Dead Man…” is based on a real event, yet another case of life one-upping art.
One morning in 1977, Indianapolis resident Tony Kiritsis (Bill Skarsgard) walked into the headquarters off the Meridian Mortgage Company. He was a familiar face; the friendly girl at the front desk paid no attention to the long, narrow box Tony carried.
Maybe she figured it contained rolled up blueprints. After all, Tony was a long-time customer who had borrowed money to design and build a shopping center on property he owned on the edge of town.
Nope. Inside was a shotgun fitted with a wire loop at the muzzle. Once in the executive offices Tony confronted Richard Hall (Dacre Montgomery), son of the company’s owner. He slipped the wire noose around Richard’s neck and informed him that any movement would automatically discharge a full load of buckshot into his head.
Then Tony started working the phones, determined to inform the world of the wrongs he had suffered at the hands of the Hall family — especially Richard’s father M.L. (Al Pacino), who was off on a vacation.
The standoff unfolded over several days. Tony talked a local radio DJ (Colman Domingo) into serving as his spokesman and p.r. agent. Meanwhile the cops — especially hardboiled detective Michael Grable (Cary Elwes) — tried to satisfy Tony’s impossible demands while avoiding mayhem that would be televised nationally.
Austin Kolodney’s screenplay walks a fine line between real tension and oddball humor. Tony may be crazy, but he talks a good talk, and there flashes of absurdism throughout.
The key to Skarsgard’s performance is his ability to make us identify with Tony (haven’t all of us felt ripped off at some time by a big impersonal institution?) even as we squirm at the dangerous situation he’s created.
He’s nicely matched by Montgomery, whom you may recognize from “Stranger Things.” Initially Dick is just a quaking blob of fear, but gradually the character’s survival instinct kicks in and he presents himself as a sort of collaborator.
And Pacino is delightfully hateful as a financial bigwig who would rather sacrifice his own son than cough up the restitution Tony is demanding.
Throughout Van Sant exhibits a master’s hand in modulating the film’s pacing and emotional tones.
Timothee Chalamet
“MARTY SUPREME” My rating: C+ (In theaters)
149 minutes | MPAA rating: R
Is it possible to love a performance while borderline hating the movie that surrounds it?
In the case of Timothee Chalamet and “Marty Supreme” the answer is perplexed yes.
“Marty Supreme” is director Josh Safdie’s followup to “Uncut Gems,” a film I compared to being screamed at for two hours by an irate New York cab driver. Once again I left more exhausted than exhilarated.
This may be a minority opinion. My critical brethren seem to adore the very things that turned me off. Well, you know…horse races.
The screenplay by Sadie and Ronald Bronstein is based (very loosely) on the career of Marty Mauser, a working class New Yorker who in the early 1950s was a rising star in the world of table tennis.
As played by Chalamet, Marty is a juggernaut of ambition and selfishness. He’s a pretty good Ping Pong player, but his real skill seems to be that of con man and canny manipulator. (Also, he has acne, spectacles and a skinny mustache that makes him look uncomfortably like a very young Robert Crumb.)
As the film begins Marty is working in a his uncle’s shoe store, sleeping with old (and married) childhood friend Rachel (Odessa A’zion) and scheming to fly to London for a big ping pong competition. He’ll lie, cheat, steal…whatever it takes.
Once across the pond he impresses the sport’s fans with his paddle skills; his arrogant personality, on the other hand, keeps him in hot water. Refusing to bed down at the cheap hotel he’s provided, he cons his way into a suite at the ritziest joint in town.
There he spots one-time movie goddess Kay Stone (Gwyneth Paltrow) and kicks his seduction machine into high gear. It’s typical of Marty that while he’s schtupping Kay he’s drumming up financial backing from her vaguely scary deep-pockets husband (“Shark Tank’s” Kevin O’Leary in a way more than adequate acting debut).
Aside from Marty’s singleminded ambition there’s not much plot here…or rather too many plots. “Marty Supreme” is always shooting off on some crazed tangent.
There’s a subplot in which Rachel claims to be preggers by Marty (he’s not happy) and claims she’s being beaten by her husband (Emory Cohen). In another a lost dog becomes a pawn in a very bloody custody battle. Marty and a colleague become Ping Pong sharks, descending on suburban towns to challenge the local talent while betting heavily on themselves. They narrowly avoid getting lynched.
There’s murder and mayhem. (Penn Jillette is virtually unrecognizable as a shot-gun toting, in-bred rural creep.) Close calls.
And through it all Marty remains unrepentantly self centered. Chalamet gives a breathless performance — which is a problem because the film never slows down enough to let us catch our breath. It’s just one instance of bad behavior piled on another.
And this goes on for 2 1/2 hours! Some long films fly by. This one just kept throwing the same heavy beats over and over again.

“BUGONIA”: Places we’ve never been before
January 5, 2026 by butlerscinemascene
Emma Stone
“BUGONIA” *My rating: B (Prime, Peacock)
118 minutes | MPAA: R
A new film by Yorgos Lanthimos (“The Lobster,” “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” “The Favourite,” “Poor Things”) comes with a promise.
It’ll be fascinating. Terrifically well acted. And very weird.
“Bugonia” more than lives up to that standard, being a sort of extended “Twilight Zone” episode that starts off being about conspiracy obsessions, turns to a battle of wills, and finally goes completely off the cliff into LaLa Land.
Here’s the setup: Corporate wonder woman Michelle (Lanthimos regular Emma Stone) is kidnapped by Teddy (Jesse Plemons) and his childlike cousin Don (AidanDelbis) and held prisoner in the basement of the semi-rural home where they raise bees.
When Michelle awakens from the knockout drug administered by her captors she finds herself chained. Weirder still, she’s now hairless and covered with a pasty-white lotion.
Teddy, clearly the brains of the outfit (which may not be saying much), begins interrogating Michelle. Turns out he’s convinced she’s the vanguard of an alien invasion of Earth. Teddy’s conspiracy theory is an incredible collection of lunatic ideas, including the notion that the aliens use hair as a transmission device to contact their fellows. Thus Michelle’s shaved skull.
Emma Stone, Aidan Delbis, Jesse Plemons
Michelle, who is well versed in the art of employee manipulation, tries to talk Teddy out of this madness. When that doesn’t work she plays on the emotions of Don, who is increasingly uncomfortable with their captive’s distress (turns out actor Aidan Delbis is himself on the spectrum, which only makes his performance that much more believable).
With Stone and Plemons we may have the year’s best acting duel, a battle of will and wits in which it’s hard to take a side, given that Michelle is a veritable font of corporate/capitalist contempt and Teddy is well on his way to bonkersdom.
And underlying it all is an escape yarn. How will Michelle get out of this predicament?
Thematically “Bugonia” (the title refers to an ancient myth about bees being able to spontaneously generate from the carcass of a bull) is a marvelous balancing act. It’s suspenseful and anxiety-riddled, yet shot through with satiric moments. A real emotional roller coaster.
And the ending…holly crap. No point in ruining the surprise, but “Bugonia” takes us places we’ve never been before.
