True!

Same! Hell, I was babysitting other kids in the neighborhood by age 13, too.

I mean, we can split hairs over words that closely, if you like, but I guess I just don’t feel like what’s been, at least to me and the friends I’ve been watching with me, entertaining TV... really requires a “justification.” There’s so much TV being produced at this point, anyway, I’d argue that there’s no…

By far one of my favorite celebrity encounters at my old job was somehow ending up in a 30 minute, very involved and interesting, conversation with Jeff Goldblum about true crime (the genre of book he was looking for at the time).

that, as much as some of us (hi!) might wish to pretend otherwise, there was no great creative justification for bringing back Scully and Mulder

Yeah, “Home” is arguably the, or at least among the, most disturbing episode, and infamously so, but it’s not the grossest. For me, I’d side with you, re: “F. Emasculata,” with maybe a bit of “Sanguinarium” thrown in.

Out of curiosity, why wasn’t Dawkins allowed to attend?

Thank you! I was beginning to feel that I (and, okay, my friend I’ve been watching with, and one other I’ve been emailing with about it) was the only one!

I’m not fond of the sequel, but the 2001 original with Jolie is honestly one of my favorite pure-camp, goofy action movies from that era. She did a lot of training to pull them off, it doesn’t take itself too seriously at all, the globe trotting is fun, her support guys/sidekicks are too, and the ridiculous villain…

My favorite description I’ve read of it, which seems to communicate the core concept well, is explaining it as: you’re playing the video game of life on the easiest setting. You’ll still have to go through obstacles and challenges, like anyone else playing the game, but every facet of it will be easier for you, on a…

So many adorable kitties in this thread! I love them all.

Oh goodie, you slut shame, too! Yeah, you’re totally not a troll. (You clearly don’t know what “projection” means, either...) You write like a grade school student, so good luck with that class. Especially since you apparently spend your time in it hassling strangers on the internet. A+!

Imagine still not knowing how to spell, or what apostrophes are, past the age of 8! Imagine thinking enjoying sex with whoever you damn well please as an adult is somehow a bad thing. What a sorry little existence that must be.

I thought you weren’t a man? And your first ever comment was bitching at me, no other comment history, but sure, say whatever you like.

You’re just shouting the same thing over and over, with nothing more than, “Hey, some people, somewhere, didn’t like their entry level, no skill job!”

Yeah, no, no argument at all! All you’re really saying is “You’re not saying the things I want you to say, therefore your words have no meaning!” Which... is not the same thing, at all. But attempting to actually engage you in anything even slightly resembling actual debate is pretty much akin to talking at a brick…

Again, you created a burner just to start arguing with me, then started stalking my comments on other posts. But lmaoooo, yeah, sure, I’m the one who’s unhinged....

People who gain as much hollow smugness from arguing with people they don’t know on the internet as you clearly do are truly pathetic.

Yeah, I haven’t gotten to that one yet (though I have had a copy sitting on my ever-growing to read shelf for a few years now), but I have heard much more mixed things about that one...

Or House of Leaves. Has anyone bought that up yet? Danielewski has gotten awfully obscure since then and I don’t have the patience but that was as rewarding as it’s reputation suggested.
