Maybe that was it, rather than a possibly non-existent trope. Other than Cube, are there other films you can think of where the handicapped turns out to be the villain/solution?

Follow-up Q&A

AV Club Q&A

Angel's restaurant from the later seasons of Dexter. I'd love to overhear his conversations and see his dumb fucking hat. Is there a word for being simultaneously repelled and attracted to someone? He's one of those people that I just love to hate; I would sit there and look at his stupid face and mannerisms and that…

I've said the same thing to friends about TMNT pizza.

I think so, although I'm not an expert on the subject since I don't have a bagina. I've always assumed that an orgasm is impossible because for women, achieving orgasm is as much mental as it is physical, while a man just needs a tight, wet grip to milk his dangus. Again, those are my uninformed opinions and there are…

Well I don't mean he was responsible for their entrapment, but that he was the key to getting out. In both instances they're playing to the audience's preconceived notions about the mentally ill and social outcasts to illicit a surprise when they reveal that the idiot loser is actually smart and cunning.

Did anyone actually find the Kaizer Soze reveal surprising? Maybe it's because I saw The Usual Suspects years after seeing Cube, but "the crazy/mentally ill/weird guy did it" was already a tired trope in my mind, even though I can't name anything other than those two that shares it.

Actually my mom always said I was the coolest and most special kid at school.

Aaaand Scott Tobias at The Dissolve gave it a four stars and marked it as "Essential." Now if only it were playing in a theatre near me.

Thanks. Searching for just "EST" would have proven fruitless.

How about you only read one part of the conversation, that way you have more time to complain in the comment section about free, quality content that no one is forcing you to read. I seriously don't understand why you're taking issue with there being twice the content of a normal review. Some of us enjoy these…

I've been eagerly anticipating this film for months (even had its release date on my calendar) so I'm ecstatic to see Dowd give it an A-.

Excellent episode, yada yada yada, what the fuck is EST?

As is the case with most things in life, the solution is pictures of dogs wearing human clothing. My Facebook is mostly pictures of dogs in clothing, or dogs with eyebrows, and this has undoubtedly helped me through many application processes.

Well I'd say the main difference is the amount consumed. Smoking just a few puffs of one marijuana will intoxicate you, while one or two glasses of wine will not. Also, effects of alcohol intoxication are much more immediate - it's very hard to have a normal life if you're hungover every day.

They're the Calista Flockhart of dogs.

Me too! Do you also get an erection?

I've attended therapy for numerous years, and I, The Period Monster, am a pillar of my community.

I don't understand why a PO box is necessary. Can't she just drop them in a mailbox with a stamp or two after receiving the money via one of the many online avenues? Has she considered accepting Dogecoin?
