My precious early 40s!!

All joking aside: Meryl Streep in a thriller where she goes on a vengeance spree? Retired killer who thought she'd left her demons far behind, but they've finally found her - John Wick meets Long Kiss Goodnight with Streep driving the thing? I'm 100% there.

Really?? Huh. How about that. Guess I've just never noticed it. Gross. Well, I guess that's one thing from the conference I don't have to be horrified about. Thanks! That brings the total to: one.

Even if we give go so far as to assume it wasn't racially connected, it's still mind-boggling. Reporter asks if he is going to meet with a particular organization, and he explodes, "Oh, are YOU going to set that up?? If you love it so much, YOU gonna do it?? Are you??"

The fact that this concern is rational is, in itself, terrifying. There have always been people who talk about the "end of the country" and it's always come off as hyperbole, or paranoid, or imbalanced. And, if I were betting on it, I'd absolutely bet we're going to survive this. But the simple fact that one can…

Each season is better than the preceding. I like season 1, but season 2 they drop a lot of the "We're FX! We're EDGY!" stuff, and it gets just exponentially better and better.

It needs a scene where our plucky heroes get lost and wind up in a scary, scary black neighborhood, where everyone's living in hell. Then they save the neighborhood by getting machine-gun armed cops everywhere. Also everyone's white now.

My best friend has worked in various departments of state government for almost 20 years. He periodically reiterates that while people joke how dumb politicians are we, seriously, honestly, would not believe how truly dumb a lot of politicians are.

To the unicycles!

'Gimme 5 up votes for a comment!', you'd say. I remember those days well.

I saw it in theaters, too, and really liked it. My liking a movie often bodes poorly for it's financial success, but I was still surprised it just sort of vanished.

Straying ever further, I can't stand it when a light gets turned on and someone says, "Let there by light," and then looks around at everyone, like they're Mark Fucking Twain.

Sounds like someone needs to re-watch a little movie called Demolition Man.
