I love, love, love History of Violence and Eastern Promises. With that said, I find most of his body horror stuff too unsettling and grotesque. I’m just a wuss that way.

I used to work for a company that had offices in Germany, so I got to travel there every once in a while. Every American I knew that relocated there would sweat bullets leading up to their driver’s exams. It’s taken very seriously. It’s because Germans treat driving like a privilege while Americans treat driving like…

Good thing Oklahoma has corrected their shit schools, obesity, diabetes, homelessness and opiate crisis before getting to this issue.

I’ll never forget seeing his debut HBO standup special back in the late 80s. He started the set with a 5 minute rant about “having some water.” So random, so weird, and my brother and I LMAO’d over it. A true original.

Reading comprehension isn’t a strong suit, is it?

I hate this show and I’ve never bothered to watch it. Seems to be target marketed to single women of a certain age who drink too much white wine while watching it. 

Regressive reactionaries really need to find some new hobbies. 

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Conversely, my wife and I then tried to watch The Eternals afterward. What a tedious slog, made it only 2/3 through until we were both nodding off on the couch.

Damn the torpedoes!

I gained a new appreciation of Tatum from his role in Hail Caesar.

Relatively new Minnesotan here, been living in Minneapolis for 3 years. Chicago native. The thing that both my wife and I have noticed is that when merging onto an expressway, that the drivers in the right lane won’t do a damn thing to make room for you. They maintain a consistent speed, never slightly slow down or…

Was thinking the same exact thing.

I’ll never forget when I was a kid asking my mom about lent. “Why do we eat fish on Fridays?” “Because it’s a sacrifice.” “How is it a sacrifice if I like eating fish?” Blank expression, no reply. Probably right around the time it started to dawn on me that religion is a man made construct and has nothing to do with…

Seems to me you’re having a conversation with yourself... or are you also talking to that invisible man in outer space you believe in?

I’m pretty sure that Lucas was pursuing “shallow toy box ambitions” from the very beginning. 

Not in any of the metro areas. Here in the Twin Cities, housing prices are constantly breaking records. Huge supply vs. demand issue. People are paying cash, and tens of thousands over asking. Some are foregoing inspections. 

Poor Boba. A second stringer on his own show. He’s always had the raw deal. All hyped up in between Star Wars and Empire, and then maybe 5 minutes of screen time. Turned into a slapstick character in Return. Poor Boba.

The Lincoln bit was the first time I ever saw him perform. Love at first sight, really.

We have a dear old neighbor who’s basically the block patriarch, a lovely, wonderful man. He had what he described as flu like symptoms for several days, and of course chalked it up to the flu. After a few days he realized it was something else and finally went to the ER. Turned out he had a heart attack and didn’t…

Hell, why not get Chris Evans to reprise his role as the Torch? He’s one of the few bright spots of those terrible FF movies.
