My bedroom windows face a private/inaccessible from the street backyard, and beyond the yard is a very steep drop-off, covered in trees. Beyond that, the freeway. No one walks by my bedroom window that doesn’t live in my house.

This is legit a fear of mine. Now I need to go ask my parents what they have been hiding from me...

Faces in windows freak me out as well. Kind of tops the list.

YAS! I have nothing to contribute other than my CRAZY level of excitement for these comments. I always look forward to this thread!

When are we going to start getting angry at Howard Stern for all his shitbag misogynistic remarks?

Um, I’ll be the asshole: that was terrible. Are we listening to the same thing? It was so blah— totally the antithesis of the original (or even a good local production).  

I’ve read this perspective before, on xoJane of all places. People can be total butts sometimes. I am no psychologist, but I think there’s something about the expectation of fright that makes people think other acts of aggression (like fighting or, ugh, pissing in a hallway) are somehow ok.

Go for events marketed as “haunted tours”. Places that are older and more tourist friendly have good ones. Only a bit creepy and you might learn some history too.

This is the thing that gets me about this show. You have this immense technology that allows you to create whole entire fictional societies where you can do anything you want and no harm will come to you and you chose the fucking Old West to replicate? There’s a reason nobody liked Back to the Future 3 dudes.

I’ll go there since that would mean reliving my college experience. It was *glorious*. My one regret is that I didn’t do more drugs and go to more shows, so this would be my chance to fix that, like my very own Hindsight, just set a few years earlier and with more debauchery.

I’ve always thought that stories like these are distinctly male, and the idea that “people feel most truly themselves when at their most debauched and violent” is a failure of the Hollywood imagination. If I could create any kind of a theme park, it would be a place where everyone could travel to through their…

Grungeworld. Seattle in the early 90s, when Kurt was still alive and no one gave a fuck about the Seahawks.

Meh, i’d mix it up. Steampunk Victorian Era? Futuristic Hong Kong? Self-aware robot world? An era where i’d get treated as a full human being even though i am a woman?

I was on board for Chris and Lorelai early on. It made sense, they had real chemistry and he was very handsome. After the final season I thought Lorelai should be on her own as she is too selfish to manage a grown up relationship.

Christopher was the only partner Lorelei had any chemistry with. Come at me.

It really depends on the movie for me. I typically read them for movies I have no real interest in actually seeing, but the trailer presents some kind of twist of mystery. Or if I’m watching a movie that’s a little intense I’ll look up the plot to help myself feel ready for the shocks. Occasionally I’ll look up a…

Not into watching scary movies but I do love to read the Wikipedia plot summaries for them. Will be checking this one out!

And even then, what kind of famous? This kid is famous, in a way, now. Corey Haim was famous, in a bigger, longer way, and still ended sadly. It is the rarest of rare cases where a person is famous from their entry into the profession to their death or retirement.

Obviously it’s natural for human beings to want recognition and fame to a certain degree, but the fixation we have as a society on being (or making our kids) famous and fabulously wealthy feels like a gross distortion of the so-called American Dream. So many people want that golden ticket and bet everything on it…

I loved that book!
