They almost made a third movie together, just after The Sting, with a good script and a good director, then Paul Newman told the guy “I’m not so sure about it, you should hire British actors instead, for instance Michael Caine and Sean Connery, who are great friends in real life.”

If I had a time machine, I’d travel back to high school and stop me and my best friend from referring to each other as Butch and Sundance. 

It’s sitting on my bookshelf, but it’s so thick it scares me. 

I haven’t read it in twenty-five years, but it’s still the first book that comes to mind with this question.

Pointless comment - Once on social media I was commenting that Lovecraft Country (the book) was an interesting way to use Lovecraft mythos and a bit more inspired than say Brian Lumley.

House of Leaves is a great creeping unsettling dread. Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark gave me nightmares as a kid.

Came here primed to post about House of Leaves being left off this list but, I suppose I’ll just wander off into the nothingness

If you’re talking genuine fear it was Henry James ‘The Turn of The Screw’. I was alone in my apt. reading the book in bed late at night. Just at the moment when the heroine gets up from her bed, goes into the dark hallway and first glimpses the ghost at the bottom of the stairs BAM! All the lights went out in the…

I have one Republican family member and he voted for Biden this time. He said that having Trump as president was the most embarrassing experience of his life. 

We’re watching “Totally Under Control” this week in the uni classes I teach. I ask the students to reflect on if they think the government should play a role in keeping people safe and healthy, what that role should be, if they think we are currently doing it, why or why not. We’re halfway through the film and…

Dear Gen Z,

OK this article isn’t about that kid though, it’s about the voter’s stories above. It’s annoying to have read some lovely, well-thought out responses from first time voters and then have comments like “yeah ok whatever but let’s focus on some baby racist!!!” Why center that guy in this discussion?

That kid is such a little shit-eater.

He’s definitely a hero and demonstrating greatness, I agree.

If he ever decides he can’t anymore, well, same, my man. (I also need to be okay with people quitting toxic bosses because I have a Trump-loving, Trump-emulating boss and would love to be a quitter. Granted the stakes are very different between, you know,…

I imagine this was a common struggle when employed by the monarchy of many countries; being harnesses to a vain and psychotic man whose every whim was indulged and every base thought was lauded by sycophants as genius.

Yeah, it’s astonishing to me how Fauci walks that tightrope. He never says anything untrue, yet he manages to never criticize — except by inference — the idiots who he is stuck answering to.

Silly russian.

Odd, it’s almost like as his understanding and knowledge changed over time, his relevant positions and recommendations changed to suit. Weird.

Damn, Fauci - not endorsing Trump in that mock turtleneck and suit jacket looks chic as hell.

Your post history makes it pretty clear that you’re a low-rent shitposting troll, but that doesn’t preclude you from also being the absolute stupidest person to comment on this website, which is no small feat! Your mom should shout down to the basement to tell you how proud she is.
