That was a while back; he's dating Kaia Gerber now - Cindy Crawford's daughter. She's a dead ringer for her mom. I thought Austin Butler was fantastic, and I hated Tom Hanks as much as I loved AB. Probably because his character was horrible, and whether or not Hanks' accent was actually what Parker sounded like is moo because either way it was terribly grating.

My son's also 14 and we watch tons of movies together. He loves scary/horror movies the most, but here are some of our faves across genres, not including many of the ones y'all have already listed. Get Out The Goonies Stand by Me It (I know, I know, but in between the horror is a great coming-of-age story) The Shawshank Redemption Ready or Not Dead Poets Society Others we haven't seen together but that are on the list: The Green Mile Good Will Hunting True Grit

I really enjoyed it. Of course all the Texas stuff, but also the portrayal of the condescending New Yorker thinking he's smarter than everyone in a hick town - I actually loled at the exchange with Paris about Chekhov. It also had few fun plot twists. Ashton Kutcher's only in a few scenes but he's great. Honestly, the whole cast was spot-on.

Sure, not much about that battle made sense, but it was fun to watch. TBH I'll watch Matt Smith in anything. If you weren't familiar with him before now, check out the Dr. Who seasons with him. Karen Gillan is in them too, if you need an extra reason.

I know this is OT but I totally agree on the Amy Schumer hate. She's not perfect but when she gets it right (see: Last Fuckable Day with Tina Fey, JLD, and Patricia Arquette) she's golden. I was thinking this, too. What a weird situation.

Paper Boi does a fantastic English accent. Lemon and Tangerine were my favorites for sure.

That poor kid. I was in my 30s and had given birth twice so I wasn't a total stranger to pain, but I can't imagine going through that as a child. Then the aftermath is unpleasant, too - for me, the debrided areas kept getting infected despite the silver cream and oral antibiotics, and the pain was still significant. I couldn't even clean them or apply topical meds without taking Vicodin 30 minutes before unwrapping the bandages. I'd lose my mind if my child had to go through that, especially over a large part of their body.

Golf cart, believe it or not. I was sitting on the back and the driver put it in reverse but the gas pedal briefly got stuck so instead of shifting back to drive once we got on the road, we went across the road into a mud and water-filled ditch. I fell facedown but put my hands in front to brace myself, hence the injury to my hand, and the cart kept rolling till it stopped with one of the wheels on my forehead. I had managed to turn my head to the side before it fully stopped rolling, which is why I did not drown in six inches of Crystal Beach ditch water.

1. GoFundMe for the woman whose house was destroyed 2. Re: burns - several years back I was in a nasty accident where some of my injuries were treated like burns. All the skin on my left palm was scraped off, as was the skin on several knuckles and on a large portion of my forehead. When I first arrived in the ER (UTMB in Galveston) they gave me a bunch of morphine (among an assortment of other drugs) and I still wouldn't let them touch me on any of the injured areas. They decided I needed to go to the burn unit so they could clean and debride the wounds. Before they started any of that, though, they gave me what they called a "fentanyl popsicle" to help with the pain. All this to say that significant doses of morphine and fentanyl (and whatever else they gave me) did fuck-all for the pain and it took two of them to hold me down while the third did the cleaning because I couldn't stop myself from screaming and thrashing around. It was maybe 30-45 seconds per area. I was praying to just lose consciousness but it never happened. Anyway, given what happened to me over a relatively small area, I cannot imagine the pain for large areas of significant burns. I just can't. There aren't enough drugs in the world.

I slightly modified the above image to better reflect its meaning.

Oh come on.

Across from where?

My son and I got tickets to this as soon as they were on sale at the Drafthouse. Thoughts below.

Do you guys know where I could get one of those gold necklaces with the T on it?

Moors! Moops! Moors! Moops!

That is goddamn Shakespearean.

Ah, got it. Thanks.

Is the lack of wind an issue because wind cools everything down? Or some other reason?

My son was woken up buy a couple of loud pops immediately before the fire started, and a few other neighbors heard it too. The house had a nice outdoor kitchen, and the current thinking (according to the owners) is that there was a leak in the gas line that led to the outdoor cooking range, which caught fire and caused the explosion that kicked everything off.

Our neighbors lost their house and pets in a fire the night before last. We're in north Austin near the Domain. Everyone on the street was standing out there around 2:30 am watching the fire department do its thing and I remember thinking it was really a goddamn miracle that AFD managed to get the fire out before it spread. The houses on our street back to a greenbelt, which of course was already terribly dry, and the fire started on their backyard deck. Awful.

It's called a hat. Well, I'll have to take your word for it.

He'll always be Mississippi to me.

I feel like the show (and commentary in general) has really glossed over (not sure if we are still spoilering but doing it just in case)

Ok but it would've been way less metal.
