It has a very detailed and very very long sex scene

Thank you. I'm an editor as well and I laughed out loud at that one but not for the reasons Mr. Oliver intended.

Superbad really hit home for me, those kids were my pals in high school.

If you were a filmmaker in the 80s who wanted to have a character in your movie that everyone loved to hate, Paul Gleason was your man. He could really play a jerk.

lol'd for real

Warren Oates mentioned stuff we dealt with, so it wasn't "fluffy non-problems". Nuclear annihilation was a very real concern in the first part of the 80s when Reagan was rattling his sword like crazy at the Soviets. AIDs took three of my friends and for a while there was a lot of concern about whether it would ever be…

We didn't really have hard-core cliques but then again I went to a city school, and based on talking to others, city schools are less cliqueish.

I think they are both equally annoying, and I say that as a Gen Xer. I don't agree about being way more obnoxious…for example, say anything vaguely critical about Woodstock. Mention that the organizers were out to make a buck, and you'll get a stern lecture.

SHE'S A LIZARD PERSON WAKE UP SHEEPLE

omg…I work with a fair amount of Apple fan people and they are all liberals but when you talk about Apple and Jobs they sound like Rush Limbaugh fans. Very strange. They still think he's Jesus and spout shit like "you don't understand, Apple is more than just a company and profit is not their primary motive". Of…

"No one's getting raped by a millennial."

I'm more disturbed by it because:

That's just it. Not only are there many many different circumstances where rapes occur, women never know. My wife was nearly raped, out of the complete blue, by someone she knew for a long time and it was a circumstance only a total shit would think is on her (getting a ride home after a baseball game).

Are these the old school nerds or the new version, meaning insufferable Silicon Valley types who think Lawrence Lessig is a viable option for the presidency?

Zack Handlen, I know what you mean about Jude the Obscure. I was assigned to read that in college, and wow, did it ever get me reeling.

As a person who makes his living as a writer and editor, I can say your point here about clarity is 100% correct. There are few worse writers than those who think they are Shakespeare.

By flea market in Lancaster PA do you mean Green Dragon? Damn, that place was awesome to me as a kid.

Oh, man, I was one of those people going in blind and at that point, what made it even more effective Drew Barrymore was a big star at that time. It was absolutely shocking to see her killed off so early.

If they do something bad in class they will say "I'm SORRRRREEEEEE….I'm SORRRRRREEEEEEE"
