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.

i still don't get the hate for amy schumer. she's not cute but a lot of chicks aren't. her first few specials are fucking hilarious and i like the way she creates her material, and i'm a pretty harsh critic of standups.
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.

I had a coworker who got bit by a brown recluse and she had to have most of the flesh on her leg debrided from mid thigh down. She described it thoroughly and it’s nightmare fuel.
My wife’s brother was accidentally set on fire by her father squiring lighter fluid on a slow fire when he was 5. 2nd and 3rd over his torso and up his neck, fortunately not much on his face. All in front of my then his family including his 10 yr old sister. They lived in the country in west Tennessee and drove him to the county hospital. They wanted to helivac him to a top class pediatric burn unit in Memphis but my fucktard father in law wanted him treated at the small town hospital so he didn’t have to travel. My wife was in the room while they debrided his burns and it rips my guts up when she talks about his screams and torment. It was a ptsd moment for both kids, it wrecked the family in guilt and anger. I fear burns like nothing else.
I feel for Anne Heche as she took her twisted messed up life and just destroyed it. Her family has to continue to deal with her shit, her addictions, her mental illness. Unrepentant addicts and uncooperative mental cases leave a trainwreck behind them.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThat 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.

Motorcycle wreck?
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.

My son and I got tickets to this as soon as they were on sale at the Drafthouse. Thoughts below.
SpoilerI liked it but didn't love it. I liked the characters and the writing, but the story was all over the place. Usually, with JP movies, you get some weird imagery in the teaser trailers and/or the opening scenes that is nonsensical out of context, but comes together when you see the movie. In this case, there were lots of intriguing shots - the girl with the creepy face sitting on a set of bleachers; the bloody movie set with a deranged chimp, where there was also a woman's shoe seemingly balanced on its toe - but it never completely became cohesive. I kept waiting for the Gordy's Home situation to tie into the bigger alien story, especially considering that shoe, but it didn't really connect except to give Steven Yuen's character some backstory. The girl with the creepy face was just a costar from that set who was disfigured when the chimp went nuts.
I thought things were really going to pick up from the relatively slow beginning when OJ is out in the stable(?) at night and the creatures emerged from the darkness - that was a fantastic, super creepy scene. But then they ruin it with it just being the Jupiter kids. It's like they had all these great elements on their own, but they just couldn't completely make it work.
Anyway, I've been wondering if I'd have liked it better without having any expectations going in. Probably.

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.

I thought about this, but I don't think it explains why Reginald got Abigail back and apparently now is successful enough to have a bunch of buildings named for him in the new reality. Alison doesn't give a shit about him. I did find it weird that Ray is now back, living in her house in LA, and maybe is the father of Claire. That's not just going back and resetting things to the way they were; it's completely changing them. Sloane could be gone because the Sparrows only existed as a replacement for the Umbrellas after they messed with the original timeline in the second season, but it doesn't completely add up.

I feel like the show (and commentary in general) has really glossed over
SpoilerAlison using her powers to almost rape Luther. I've always found her powers to be among the most unsettling because of what she'd be able to do if she were evil, and this season drove that home. That scene in particular was so dark, but a few minutes later it was like it had never happened, and it wasn't even mentioned again except for Alison's half-assed apology a few episodes later.
(not sure if we are still spoilering but doing it just in case)

Couldn't they have just put the amp on the roof and played the guitar from the presumed safety of the mobile home? It really doesn't seem all that realistic.
Ok but it would've been way less metal.

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.
Others we haven't seen together but that are on the list:
