I fully believe Hawkeye actually has a superpower in the MCU: luck. No one can be that good with a bow and arrow and survive everything he’s done as you noted. Obviously not in the same was Domino, but things just always work out for him. 

I recently read through the Baum OZ books (and his other works of the era). It’s easy to tell from the “Letter to the reader” page if the book will be crap or not. Seems to mostly be “I need money and you won’t stop badgering me so here ya go.” but some have a “I had a good idea, so got excited for this one and…

Glad to see others thinking the same. My audience was cracking up. I thought I was missing something. For my own votes: I want Weekend to win. I expect Bao - a worthy choice but not mine. 

I saw this at SIFF last year and was greatly disappoited. The idea was there, but the stories themselves were undercooked.

This case is a weird limbo for me. I 90% think Syed committed the murder. But the case presented in court was so lacking and based so much on an unreliable testimony and circumstance it was laughable. In my opinion, the prosecution didn’t do a good enough job for conviction. They got it anyway, but still. 

this is very true. I hated sipping from my drink due to breaking the quiet. Every theater sound was amplified. It was kinda annoying at the start but halfway through the 3rd act, it was noticeable in there was no movement at all in the auditorium. Dead silent.

It’s a very brief bit of it, not the full plot. He talks of it when saying they had weird feelings in that particular park. That portion is maybe two or three pages at best. The majority of the book is positive and affirming.

I’ve only been to Chicago once and stayed at the Congress Plaza Hotel for the 2014 Rocky Horror Con. Place was loaded. As we entered our room there was a clear “Hi!” that we never heard again. This hotel has a the “nailed shut never open room “ 1408 is based on but I didn’t do anything with it. But, continual…

Have you read Bill Bryson’s A WALK IN THE WOODS (adapted to a dull movie last year)? He and his hiking partner were in the Shenendoah National Forest on their hike through the Appalachian Trail about a week off from the serial killer who killed two women when he came through.

World’s best author Neil Gaiman has a short story (one of best actually) relating a similar situation that he based on something he saw. (I’m not saying your story is fiction, I believe it, just that there is a fiction story of the same subject). It’s in SMOKE AND MIRROR short fiction collection but here’s a 20 minute…

It reminds me of the summer camp I worked at. Very haunted; but in particular was a little girl in a white dress (of course, right?) we called Rosemary. When you come to work for the first time, the others won’t tell you about her. I did ask if there were any known ghosts however and was told “you’ll see. We don’t…

“so we had a pretty good idea who kept leaving rhinestones everywhere” My friend Brian’s grandmother (see another post on this page) used to leave groups of bobbypins throughout his house. They were moving out of the house and it fully empty. I saw it. I was helping. Brian and I came back a week later to get a phone…

not sure where this response will end up so I quote what I’m replying to “There was a spot outside the dorms in my college where someone jumped and committed suicide and the grass just wouldn’t grow where he fell” In my first college dorm I kept getting really weird feelings at the top of the main stairway. Kept…

Going to reply to this and other replies in this thread with a few stories of me and friends.
