Was staying with a friend, who gave me what turned out to be a weaponized brownie made by a friend of his who bakes edibles for local dispensaries. He issued a vague warning, but I'm a stoner who can handle his weed, so what did I need to worry about? One morning I'm on my own and there's nothing around to eat, so I…

This is such a great movie, and a totally legit rival of the classic it's remaking. And so beautifully shot it's hard for me to imagine that 3D wasn't a needless distraction from it in its theatrical run. (I've only seen it on DVD.)

What Elysium are you seeing in this? Is he fighting a race of patrician Jodie Fosters?

A study published last month shows that barefoot inspired footwear may reduce the incidence of knee injuries, but the shoes do so by putting more stress on the Achilles tendon.

What about the failure to call the Barnes foul on Jackson that sent that ball out of bounds in the first place? The way that play was called could very well have led to the Thunder crying "we were robbed" in the end: missing/not calling the obvious foul by Barnes took two free throws from Jackson for the potential…

That call could very well have led to the Thunder crying "we were robbed" in the end: missing/not calling the obvious foul by Barnes took two free throws from Jackson for the potential tie and gave the Clippers a second chance for a stop for the win. What it gave the Thunder was a reduced chance, not a greater chance,…

Yeah. I switched to minimal running after chronic trouble in both knees, fruitless use of expensive shoes and orthotics, and arthroscopic surgery to correct it, and while I didn't stick with Five Fingers (my feet are unevenly sized enough that I need a half size difference between left- and right-foot shoes, otherwise…

Gha! Arcs, not arks.

I think it fits if, rather than questioning the scene, one rather re-evaluates the judgment they've formed about Jaime or the standards by which they're judging him. I don't think that "redemption," or moral development generally, is ever all one thing. In a lot of ways what Jaime has gone through is very much an…

Except the above script mocks exactly your complaint. We're talking about a world attempting to put the medieval back into medieval fantasy, so whatever redemption ark any of its characters would be likely to follow is going to be on that world's terms, not ours, which in most every other context people seem mostly…

Here is a upcoming female director available now for your support:

I dunno. Did you listen to the recording of hoover at the link? He even gets the accent right, and seems to be repeating things, not that he would have been expressly taught to say, but that some old salt of a New England sailor was in the habit of barking at him.

I know Hoover was a seal and not a Sea Lion, but if by "complex vocalizations" we're talking mimicry, which seems to correlate with rhythm, then maybe he's a counter to the counterexample?

How could people of privilege being told that they're the default people in society lead to them feeling entitled to take the lives of others?

Manhattan clam chowder isn't clam chowder, it's CLAM FUCKING SOUP.

It isn't a rape victim's job to make sure her rapists are punished. Pure and simple.

I don't know. Let's see if we can get it to twenty.

You support violent retaliation against people protesting a church and its support of an authoritarian. It's right there in your posts. No psychic powers needed.

And the rest of your post: really, adult?

I wasn't aware they'd said anything racist. Somehow I doubt they did. But if that's true, as you claim, that's worthy of critique, not literal violence.

One can literally only figuratively stomp on a religion.
