  1. I just figured he was fucking someone he wasn't supposed to be fucking and needed a cover story for why he wasn't at home.
  2. Idiots. Everyone knows alligators don't like how people taste.
  3. So no posts yet about Y'all are slipping.
  4. Meanwhile, on Fox News:
  5. Several random thoughts. CinemaCon was greatness. I love how they followed the trail of nacho cheese and how Quinn kept tasting gross things. And how Griffin is 82, lol. And the "old-school Hollywood buffet." The wardrobe choices are interesting. I kept waiting for someone in the show to mention Maya's clothes. And Quinn dresses like Mary Tyler Moore in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. I have never found Seth Rogen or Ike Barinholtz attractive until this show but whatever they're doing is working for me. The finale was awesome. Even though everyone was tripping balls, the word I kept thinking at the very end was "wholesome". It was sweet how Matt thanked everyone onstage and then got everyone to cheer, even though that part was to cover for Griffin. He looked so genuinely happy.
  6. This story is super weird. The autopsy showed "no signs of illness or injury that would have contributed to the boy’s death." No fucking way am I getting on one of those. It's floating wicker propelled by fire.
  7. If you're in the Austin area, try to catch a Jaws on the Water showing at Volente Beach. You spend the day at the park, then watch the movie while floating in a tube on the water. They have scuba divers going through the water and grabbing people's legs while they watch - it's really funny. They used to have these showings several times every summer, but they didn't do them the last couple of years. It's back now though and hopefully will go back to being an annual thing.
  8. Five THOUSAND National Guard troops coming to Texas?? Jesus Christ.
  9. I have, and I'm assuming (hoping) this is a compliment.
  10. I really liked it. It's a very faithful adaptation of the story, and like you, when I read the story I couldn't imagine it as a feature film. But it's surprisingly feel-good, considering the first act, and has tons of great cameos. I don't think I've seen Mia Sara in anything since Ferris Bueller and she was great here. If you're a Flanagan fan, and a Stephen King fan, I'd definitely see it in a theater.
  11. I hate these assholes as much as y'all, but I really wish we'd lay off calling Abbott "Hot Wheels". He sucks because he's a bootlicking Trump syncophant, not because he's disabled.
  12. Well...it didn't make me like billionaires. Interesting concept that just wasn't well-executed.
  13. Just saw and loved this. I read the short story back when the book came out and thought it was fine, but the movie does a great job of bringing it to life. It was a bit on the nose with the central theme (although it's fair to assume we're a nation of idiots who need to be beaten over the head with the point to get it) but still a lovely film. And if you're a Mike Flanagan fan, a ton of his mainstay actors make cameos.
  14. Off topic but there's a restaurant in Austin called Tommy Want Wingy.
  15. I liked it, but if I'm ranking the Philippou brothers' movies, Talk to Me is still #1. I thought A Dark Song was a better meditation on grief. The acting was great, especially Sally Hawkins (of course) and the kid who played Oliver. Some nitpicky thoughts/questions below.
  16. Going to see it tomorrow with my son! Can't wait!
  17. Aww, y'all get to share a handbasket.
  18. Let's stop using "gay" as an insult. Incel, sure. She is in the episode of Modern Family that introduced Fizbo, way back in 2010 or so. That show wasn't perfect, but that episode was when I knew it would be around for a long time.
  19. Listen, the NY Post does a lot of things wrong, but writing headlines is not one of them.
  20. Totally agree about the soundtrack. There were times when it reminded me of the Nic Cage movie Mandy, with booming orchestral rock. So fun.
  21. It looked awesome in IMAX but I'm sure it's still great in a regular theater.
  22. This is what I figured, too. Saw it yesterday. One reviewer said "I say this as a compliment, not a criticism - I wanted it to end" and that's exactly it. The point - of both Warfare and Civil War, I think - is that war is hell. I agree with seeing it in a theater if you can. The sound was really intense and added a lot. A couple of questions for those of you who know more about the military than me. Early on they kept saying something that sounded like "cass evac" - I'm pretty sure I heard "evac" correctly, but was I hearing "cass"? Is that an acronym? Also, is a "show of force" when they fly a fighter jet close to the ground and it causes everything to boom and rattle? I assume the point is to disorient the enemy?
  23. This exact scenario happened to me, but it was 14 years ago so I was able to have the D and C. If someone had told me I had to wait another week, after confirming that the baby had died, I would have lost my absolute mind and then traveled to another state to take care of it. This is not only dangerous but terribly, terribly cruel.
  24. Wow, this is a great film. Just saw the IMAX version and it did not disappoint. The score is amazing, as is the acting all around. Highly recommend.
