Yeah, the book was much seedier! I read it once in 7th grade, but I was reading Stephen King then, so the beach-book depravity stood out to me less.

The thing that’s key to understanding this phenomenon is how the narrow ideal for feminine beauty is baked into the American standard for Masculinity™. Masculine Men are horny all the time, and when confronted with a Sexy Woman they can hardly control themselves, howling like coyotes at the full moon. Conveniently,…

Looks like this movie has critics jumping off the deck and shoving into overdrive.

DANGER ZONE!

Who here can remember the last movie they rented from a RedBox?  Mine was The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

I have a friend who works at Comcast and he claims that for years the company that owned Red Box actively lobbied against getting state and federal funds to expand high speed internet to rural areas because they knew once people could stream shit their last market was dead.
