Ehh, “The Village” was essentially an old Twilight Zone episode, “One Hundred Yards Over the Rim.”... I may be cynical, but I think a lot of screenwriters do that, i.e., take something old and retool it into a modern take just enough so that’s it’s not plagiarism.

Fortunately my only vice is beer, but anyone even on that level has experienced starting to indulge, planning on indulging more, and suddenly remembering you had to do something important, like call your boss or something... whatever he’s on, that’s what this struck me as: he was in the process of getting really…

From what I remember - and this might be a painfully obvious take - I took it as at the beginning of the movie the wife (and to a lesser extent the awkward brother) was relatively satisfied with their lives. It was only after glimpsing the opportunity to have something more, and then having that pulled away, that she…

Given that well into my teen years I didn’t know if the term was “hard-on” or “heart-on,” in a way it’s true. 

“In a new interview with Breitbart...”

Could be... I remember a family gathering where we were talking about just general bigotry, like what groups don’t like other groups, etc., and my grandmother, who I think was about 80, said with perfect timing, “I used to not like old people... I had to get over that.”

Last paragraph is a good point. Belittling of a senior for senior-like behavior is considered very distasteful by seniors, no matter who it’s aimed at. People in their 70s are constantly worried about when things like dementia and senility are going to happen to them - 2, 5, 10 years? - so to them it’s not funny and…

If I knew how to post GIFs this post would have The Simpsons’ “History’s greatest monster!” Jimmy Carter statue. 

As someone who used to listen to right-wing radio, I can tell you that the first part of your statement is spot on. However, as for their rationalization, their go-to isn’t the ‘a/’er thing, rather it’s referencing a rap song or something and then ‘Well why can they say it and we can’t!?’ 

The lewd messages would’ve began with “It’s a little known fact...” 

I’ve long wondered who killed Heath Ledger. Then I realized, after all, it was you and me. 

Just do the Our Generation dolls you can get at Target, etc. A fraction (literally) of the price of American Girl, and the child likely won’t know the difference. 

I found her to be a brat and liked it when the brother-in-law lit into her when she started spouting her bullshit.

“Now Tulsi, let’s go through it again, and with more emphasis!... ‘I didn’t leave the Democrat party, they left me!’”

Yes, count me as “Dunkirk” being very rewatchable.

“I just finished Reaganland,...”

I really wonder how history is going to look back on the Trump presidency, the “How did that actually happen?” factor.

“He has a lot in common with Hitler!”

“I’ve always loved animals, fought those that abused animals and will continue to do so...”

WTF? I’m both pleased and confused by this post’s existence. When I saw the headline I thought ‘oh, looks like they made another movie called Tourist Trap, ‘cause there’s no way they’re talking about the horror movie’... kind of like how for years when I saw any post about “Neighbors” I briefly wondered if it was the…
