And:

Her hair was as black as a bucket of tar,
Skin as white as a cuttlefish bone.
I left Texas to follow Lucinda.
Now I'll never see heaven nor home.

Heartattack & Vine, unless I decide it's something else. Like Blue Valentine or Rain Dogs or Bone Machine or Alice or Real Gone or Brawlers.

Now THAT is funny. And accurate.

Zing!

Cool story, bro.

Daguerreotype.

Was it specified that Tom KNOWS her? I thought he was just doing the super-familiar thing like he does regardless of appropriateness.

"Are you guys frying marbles?"
Actually, I'm not gonna lie: I used to find April appealingly misanthropic; these days, I tend to find her more *tediously* misanthropic—yeah yeah, we know, you pretend to hate everything. We get it. Now grow the fuck UP already. The act is getting to seem really, really forced.

T2 is okay, but I don't see how anyone can deny that the kid is horrible, and the whole "robot learns about human emotions" business—let alone "robot learns to spout cutesy catchphrases"—is just plain ol' risible.

"This is a Work of Fiction"
Alas, I seem to be too dumb to play this game—I WANT to, but I can't. The SECOND PUZZLE—two circles and two squares with red and blue particles—has me utterly stymied. To reiterate: alas.

The Little Mermaid is a great movie because of the fantastic songs. You can't just not mention them, given that they're the whole point.

I have failed. In penance, I will reset your kill count.

"Bambi's mother dies" is a huge cultural touchstone. Anybody who does not know this is clearly so totally indifferent to pop culture of any kind that it's not a meaningful spoiler.

I dunno.
Sure, I guess the death is a BIT intense, but the fact that afterward they INSTANTLY cut away to gloriously-happy-springtime sorta undercuts it a bit. As far as traumatic Disney sequences go, Pleasure Island is still number one in my book.

There are good parts to libertarianism (at least the libertarianism that isn't just thinly-disguised Republicanism, which you hardly ever see in the real world), but all of them are already covered by plain ol' leftism. There's nothing unique to libertarianism that isn't awful.
