The real crime committed by Charles Manson is that he ruined the hippie dream. I have no idea why society in 1969 / 70 had to relive the death of that dream with a long, drawn-out criminal trial just because a district attorney thought some “murder victims” inconveniently got in the way of some knives.

Methinks the Ley-dy doth protest too much.

“Well ya’ got trouble, my friend, right here. I say trouble right here in twitter city.... With a capital T and that rhymes with “P” which stands for porn.... Youth will be frittern away. Frittern away their noontime, suppertime, choretime too!”

The English Patient’s basketball scenes were filmed on 9 foot rims. Total bullshit sports movie.

I said earlier that he is like an IRL version of Vincent Adultman from BoJack Horseman. He’s clearly the height of an actual man, but he has the face of a 12 yo boy.

“What advantages does this war have over, say, an ethnic cleansing, which I could also afford?”

Never forget.

I’ll defend this movie for a thousand years.

Cloud Atlas is a masterpiece that stands with the best works from Powell and Pressburger (whose films it resembles in many respects), and I think it will eventually be recognized as such.

Old habits die hard, I guess. But if the team really wanted this behavior to change, shouldn’t they have named themselves Atlanta Delta?

But it has electrolytes...

Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt in “Twister” are pretty much the single biggest reason 15-year-old me fell in love with tornadoes and severe storms, which then led me to go eventually get my Bachelor’s in Physical Sciences with a concentration in Meteorology. And I also met one of my best friends (now 20 years later)

Fucked up bees.

I think people frequently confuse gruesomeness with inhumane-ness. Lethal injections clearly aren’t necessarily that humane, they just have more of an appearance of civility or peace for the people watching.

“I’d like to consult Greg on 49th street as my third party. Knock three times SLOWLY and ask for a box of thin mints and two boxes of samoas. Don’t look him in the eye or go into his house. If he asks if you want to see his nun-chucks say no.”

Libruls want to focus on small mistakes instead of talking about all the great things W.E.B. is doing these days. 

This dumbfuck’s continued existence is proof that the Clintons don’t have people killed.

Did you hear the one about Anthony Weiner fighting with his new girlfriend? When she found out that the feds might charge him with possession of child porn, she screamed at him that he was a pedophile. Anthony turned to her and said “Pedophile, huh? That’s an awfully big word for a ten year old.”
