You know how movie theaters show not only a dozen previews before the “feature presentation” but tons of commercials, too?

So they played this L’Oreal (or whatever beauty product company it was) commercial featuring Penelope Cruz. It just blows my mind that, yes, while she is inescapably gorgeous, it sounds like she never understands what she’s saying. It's kinda like if a Speak-n-Spell advertised makeup.

She always sounds like she’s reading from a ransom note.

The sound editor for that spot must’ve had his work cut out for him.

I spilled hot nacho cheese on my pants and ended up missing the movie.

The performance of Denzel Washington’s career.
