I’m also in Canada at present! There are a couple of booze+food theaters here in Vancouver, though my favorite is the Rio. The food is limited to popcorn, candy, and grilled cheese sandwiches, but they are pretty tasty sandwiches for $5 and perfect for a between show double feature snack.

More and more theaters in the states are offering booze, esp if you stay away from the multiplexes. But even some of those, now...

not only did no one enjoy it, it made the original writer of the comic, Alan Moore, swear off movies permanently, to the point he demanded his name be left off the Watchman adaptation.

She frightens any creature with a scintilla of survival instinct. My reaction to Elle was “This woman lives in a den of vipers and she is the goddamn QUEEN.”

now, now. Let’s not exaggerate. What is the asshole’s job? To issue forth shit.

Funny. The more I drugs I do, the more candy I end up eating.

I am very angry at my black friend now. He never even mentioned it. And I offered to take him to the annual Controlling Hollywood Banquet as my +1 goy....

yes yes. they’re dolphins. The actual name for them is ‘whale killers’ because they can, indeed, kill whales, and will hunt mothers with a calf and attempt to separate the calf.

Whales are big and thus require MUCH more in resources to safely and humanely (humane. to treat things kindly. HAH) study them. Zoos are valuable in that they allow for safe study of animals for basic research and science as well as educating the public. Keeping a penguin relatively happy and healthy is a much less…

If you really like this sort of movie, this is worth the big screen treatment. If not, then yeah, wait for netflix or whatever.

And you can’t eat the cows after you tip them? Seems to me that’d be the best time. If they’re upright, they can run away.

You should remind your father that 45 has ALWAYS been a tool.

There’s always at least one. Don’t argue. They’re not really trying to be right, they’re trying to listen to themselves to make sure they sound as smart as they’re sure they do. They don’t, but you won’t convince them.

I guess ‘Dear America’ was after my time. I don’t remember explicitly learning about Industrial Age horrors ‘til my Jr. year in highschool. We had to read ‘The Jungle’ by Upton Sinclair and we spent at least a week on the Triangle Shirtwaist fire and the context of it.

aha. I bet this is the origin of my little snippet above.

Best advice I’ve ever heard re: death, good enough to be given to people of almost any spiritual bent (or none at all). I don’t remember the originator, but it definitely wasn’t me:

That’s the thing... Fredrick Douglas is one of maybe 3 or 4 famous black americans that your average person COULD probably name. Fredrick Douglas, MLK, Obama, the peanut guy, and the subway lady.

getting in is remarkably easy. It’s the whole ‘staying past your visa’ thing that gets tricky. Best hurry, though. Vancouver and Toronto are already getting on par w/ NYC as to affordability, or lack thereof.

Here’s the thing about the ‘10 days of vacation’ thing...
