Ah man. The big baseball scene in Parenthood. It’s not the swelling, triumphant crying after he catches it. It’s when the ball is hit and Steve Martin goes “oh shit.” I can’t even watch it. His poor little dude is out there, panicking, and he can’t help him. He can’t help him catch it, and he can’t protect him from…

Yeah the bit with the lady tucking her kids in is where I usually have to turn the movie off. Because the thing is, lots and lots and lots of people probably did have to do their own versions of that when the Titanic sank! It’s unbearable to think about.
Titanic, when the band plays the sad violin music and they show the lady reading stories to her kids, and the old people holding each other on the bed as water floods in. Gets me every goddamned time.
Do you perhaps mean “’roid rage?” As in, he went into the bathroom, had really bad hemorrhoids, emerged to ask the flight attendant if they stocked Preparation H, was told no, dejectedly returned to the bathroom to try to salvage his pair of underpants, but grew increasingly enraged before bursting out of the…

Everybody commenting is technically joking. Technically not though. Really though, kids are alot of work. I have an 8 month old and it half my computer is watching Super Simple Songs instead of showing my work, because my wife is making him breakfast. At night, it takes roughly 30 minutes to an hour for us to get him…
If you want one, have one. Just know it’s permanent, and if you want to do shit before you have one, be sure to do that thing.
Certain of his books are really, really good. Others were written during cocaine and alcohol-fueled binges (Cujo, Tommyknockers) that they really don’t hold up well. King apparently doesn’t remember writing Cujo, since he was blackout drunk during most of the writing process.
They do, though not in great detail. One of their guests is a former Sea Org member.
Yes he does. Tony Ortega’s segment is good, but Danny Masterson aside, much of it is familiar. The interview with the former Sea Org member was very eye-opening.
Yes! Running off to listen now. For people new to CO$, I highly recommend Ortega’s book The Unbreakable Miss Lovely. It shows just how far the “church” will go to screw with a person’s life. Also, it goes into the break ins at the IRS and other stories. It’s fascinating. Oh and it is also available on audible.
Perhaps, instead of commenting here, in perhaps the bluest of blue comment sections in this country, an echo chamber if there ever was one- you should drive up to Chelsea (no, not Admiral Hill, but Chelsea) or Lynn, and volunteer at a homeless or battered women’s shelter for poor immigrants. They are the ones who need…
My wife works for a non profit that helps people on the autism spectrum. She’s fought the good fight as a social worker for 20 years. Now, she’s full of rage and would like to vent it, and would like to give similarly angry people a chance to vent too.
Do you live in the suburbs of Boston and couldn’t make the rally’s during the week? My wife is planning a protest tomorrow in the Commons. Let me know if interested.
I’m a crazy dog person through and through, but I think treating this as somehow different than the way Western countries torture the animals we raise and slaughter for food is self-serving at best.
I’m in Ireland. I’ve shot rifles and handguns, on ranges, because my father does target shooting as a hobby. In order to have a (by US standards) modest collection of guns, he has to get separate permission for each gun from the local police superintendent, and a license for each gun which involves a thorough…
