They were burning alive in the car and came out with some pretty severe injuries. I’m not sure any amount of money would be compensatory.

It’s not a masterpiece. It’s good, but it’s overlong, muddles itself in some already-explored territory (corporate evil, etc.), and doesn’t have a “tears in the rain” moment. Dowd’s review is inaccurate in saying that it’s beholden to its predecessor — I don’t think the parts where this movie echoes the original are…

I actually participate in hatred of all subcultures (even ones akin to things I enjoy myself). They’re based on nothing of substance except for the shared un-earned pride of a thing they had nothing to do with the creation of.

This happens with any show that has an anti-hero. People with no sense of identity latch onto the show because they have nothing in their own lives to be proud of. They’ve done nothing; they’ve created nothing; they’ll never be anything. So holding themselves high on some pedestal of superiority for LIKING A…

There are many countries that use the imperial system and _haven’t_ landed on the moon, as well.

What’s your game here? What do you stand to gain by defending clearly stupid or overreaching laws?

The new Dirt game has this.

OH MY GOD THE _SOUND_. THEY FINALLY FUCKING GOT THE SOUND RIGHT.

I’ve got no sympathy for this dude. He is letting many wonderful cars rot because he’s greedily keeping them without having the resources to fix them up. I see this shit all the time around Portland: people without garages letting their amazing cars soak up the rain, let grass and moss grow on them and rust into piles…

So, what I’m hearing is that if I want to get in on being a mechanic for a living, I should just go to Chicago and do some time as a scab.

Reminds me of literally every single BMW owner on CL. Those people are so far out of touch, they might as well be on the moon.

Notable absence:

So many interesting ideas from this show without the execution to make the gravitas stick. The Leftovers, interestingly, did the same kind of thing, but much, much better. It never dangled the mysteries of the show in front of you, or used them like a halfwit vaguebook post to entice you to ask more.

You nailed it; every second closer to some absolute minimum is going to cost exponentially more. Which is why, of course, traveling the speed of light requires the power of like 10 dying suns or something.

Thank you _so much_ for not using that idiotic fucking `/s` tag.

I’ll address your baitey question in earnest because I think, even if you’re just trying to get a rise out of people, it’s a question worth considering. Why care?

Guy test drives a $400,000 hand-crafted car in dumpy looking $20 Kirkland dad jeans. What a class act.
