"Being shits" here defined as "texting during a movie, then leaving when the dude got super weird about it". She doesn't owe him jack and/or shit. There's nothing to get away with here- she's not fuckin' DB Cooper over here.

She could, or he could just eat it as the cost of a date that didn't work out, as millions and millions of other people throughout history have done without demanding restitution through the court system.

When I was 12 or so, my mom took me and my friend to see the violent monster movie The Relic for my birthday. We were the only three people in the theater and my mom graciously sat a few rows back so that she wouldn't be "hovering". Just before the movie started, a fourth person -a woman who was roughly 70 years old-

Yeah ok look I know it's fun to bash on people who text in movies, because it is rude- but that's all it is. It doesn't actually indicate that they're a bad person. It just means they were being rude and thoughtless in the moment, which we all can be. Should she have stepped out of the theater to text her friend?

No, what he should do is get the fuck over himself.

I liked the scenes in the Justice League cartoon where he'd be running all over the city just chatting with folks who he clearly knew and liked.

Look, I'm not arguing about whether or not Spider-Man is a good character or that the stuff from the comics is bad- that's all well and fine. What I'm saying is that Raimi took a bunch of good stuff and then executed it badly.

Ok, why couldn't they have hired a Spider-Man who was actually fun to watch then?

I will grant you that Spider-Man 2 is the best of a bad lot. It's fine. It's no Blade, but it's fine. Spider-Man 1 and 3, however, are slogs.

What? Almost every superhero movie has a romance subplot. That in no way makes Spider-Man 2 unique. Remember the first Superman? Blade? X-Men? X2? Come on now.

That's true but does not refute my statement!

Wrong! It's boring and wastes a bunch of time with a pointless self-confidence subplot! Also Tobey McGuire is a crime against charisma!

FIGHTING WORDS TIME I think Sam Raimi is a pretty good director, but his Spider-Man trilogy is boring and bad!

I knew some people who were really cool about it and some people who were really not, and even the very best of them doesn't come close in comparison with being able to just walk into a regular store whenever you feel like it.

I don't know how the medical market would have worked in California, bank-wise. In Washington, it has to do with the fact that it's still illegal at the federal level and so they can't…use banks? I'm not clear on all the details.

I mean, all those places also accept cash, so it's not like it's required. And believe me, once you've gone to a nice store with a huge selection and have been in and out in under 10 minutes, you'll never want to go back to hanging out in some dude's living room for 45 minutes whenever he happens to be around.

Interestingly, you can buy legal weed with a credit card in Washington at some storefronts using a complex conversion to Bitcoin that always seems like more trouble than its worth.

I predict that Bob Iger will be taken hostage by Gary Oldman aboard an airplane, facilitated by Xander Berkley's betrayal. Eventually, Bob Iger will incapacitate Oldman's goons, throw Oldman off the Disney corporate jet, and distribute free* copies of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie to the young and the young

Yes but only incidentally- he murdered a whole bunch of Salvation Army Santas.

It was simpler to just stop tweeting.
