Hi, everyone else who came here from TMSP's link in the Horrible Bosses review.

Yeah, there's not really any middle ground on this. For almost 100 years we had movies w/o cell phones/texting/etc - there is a guidepost for a somewhat authentic movie-going experience, and it doesn't involve assholes talking on phones or texting. The reason texting is rude is because cell phone screens are REALLY…

Re: WWI, Robert Graves, "Goodbye to All That" - READ IT

Sorry, 30 Years' War. And talk about depravity, that's when shit got real.

WWI is unfairly overshadowed by WWII, and it did pretty much kill off old Europe and set the stage for the paradise that is the now, but the most overlooked wars (in the West) are probably the 30-years war and the Crimean War.

Hey, this is fun. Too bad SRIH left.

SRIH: I get what you're saying, and yes, our fucked-up culture will see a mixed message. But what I'm saying is that's wrong, because the message is never mixed (unless you and your partner agree to that beforehand). The message is always the same - don't rape people. And the "mixed message" bullshit has been used…

Okay, so it is the same person (apparently). But here's the thing. Unless you indulge some interesting fantasies in the privacy of your home (or your private sex club), the message is ALWAYS 'don't rape women.' I don't think there's anything mixed about that.

Anyone saying it's how women act that causes them to get raped is some sick fucked up prude." So what's the deal? Can women act however they want and not expect to get…

Ah, nuts. Stupid work distracted me for 5 minutes and I missed my chance.

Here, let me try.

Someone please start an uptight, buttinsky organization that protests videos that are dumb, annoying, and sententious (and that song - ugh). You'll need lots of unpaid volunteers, 'cause that's a-lotta work.

wha?
I was going to ask if liking ZD made me a horrible person, but then I saw all the crude references above and determined that yes, yes it does.

Yo La Tengo?
I haven't been to a lot of shows in my socially sheltered 37 years, but YLT's show in Lawrence, KS some time in the early 2000's (I'm thinking it was the year 2000) was one of the worst live shows I've ever been to. Really disappointing.

What…
No Armond White comments yet? He already hates this movie.

Today's my birthday! Spank you very much for all of your lurid and boring virginity stories (I shan't trouble you with mine).

Everyone is still following this, right? Thought so.
