He showed the player plenty of vulnerability. He’d just always pull back before his son saw him.

I don’t want to spoil the ending of Blood Simple, but the last line was the first one that ever made me laugh out loud — a couple of years before The Lost Boys did it again.

Last night’s Tennessee hot is today’s breakfast over a cornmeal/jalapeno waffle. With a sunny-side up egg if there were drinks the previous night or maple syrup if not.

And why is Kinja randomly moving words around?
