I would love to see someone adapt Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye to the screen, as a movie or a limited series.

The Houston episode was great, and after Harvey pummeled us he encouraged the people featured on the show who were affected to reach out to him for help. I thought that was classy.

So, no seat in the Flavortown Express for you, I take it.

The premise of Gifted sounds like a remake of Heroes. Definitely skipping it.

Why not Michael Bay while we’re at it?

Motorola phones and low-end Samsung phones still have the Home button.

No physical Home button, and curved screen edges according to Bloomberg. So they’re essentially making a Samsung S8?

Always see it at the store and I am tempted, but coffee and coconut sounds like a weird combo to me.

Mo, he will have plenty of supporters in the “Miami Cuban exiles” voting block, in the “Continental US Puerto Ricans for statehood” block, and in the general “I entered this country legally, why can’t you?” Hispanic block. And the more affluent they are, the more they will align with him. Not to mention

But their Jesus is not a crying pussy! Their Jesus rides a dinosaur and guns down infidels with an AK-47.

Plenty, plenty, plenty. Many of them consider themselves Christian. In second grade my daughter came to the defense of a boy who was being teased for dressing in pink, Barbie-themed stuff. In fourth grade she was told by a classmate “I don’t think I can be friends with someone who doesn’t go to church.” In seventh

That is the stupidest strategy ever. It is a bit reckless to stereotypically assume all Hispanics and Asians will vote Democrat.

Not so much fear as much as a feeling of impending, inevitable doom. I think this movie may be in part responsible for the Gen-X “fuck it” attitude.

I was fourteen when this movie came out. This was the year we finally got cable TV in Valle Arriba Heights, but I cannot recall if we watched it in English in a US ABC affiliate, or if it was dubbed in Spanish and shown in a local channel. I frankly only remember the mushroom cloud, and the feeling of being screwed

Some still take perverse pride in the unregulated/unrestricted thing. I feel that has to take a backseat to safety, but there’s no convincing some folks.

I watched The Ides of March on Hulu last night and found myself thinking Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have been an awesome Bannon in the inevitable Trump clusterfuck movie.

That is pretty awful, and not at all surprising. Newer houses also have smaller yards, so there is even less of a barrier between the street and our front doors.
I cringe when I go down 99 and see all that land in Cypress, knowing it’s going to become part of a master planned community, or the satellite strip malls.

I moved to Houston in the year 2000, a divorcee with a 2 year-old daughter, looking for a fresh start. Growing up in Puerto Rico, where hurricanes were a fairly common occurrence, I thought I had seen everything, that things couldn’t be any worse here. Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 made me reconsider, but where I was

I am still grey. Damn it. I can’t win. I know whining about Kinja is old by now, but I am still grey, and I lost my AV club comment history, and I can’t see my old Kinja comments either.
