I saw that movie maybe thirteen years ago, and the line about the dots is the line I remember (the shot of Lime reaching through the sewer grate at the end is the one shot I remember). Man I need to see that movie again.

I have lingering affection for her after the issue where she's in the X-Mansion alone, and Sabretooth shows up looking for Wolverine. It's probably aged poorly, but when I was 10, "Sabretooth chasing a terrified second-stringer for an entire issue" was a totally novel concept.

Long time ago I saw a cowboy cryin'
I said, "Hey buddy, what can I do?"
He said, "I've lived a long life, had a thousand women."
I said "Why the tears?" He said "Cause none of them was you."

(Awkward silence)

"Strangely, his health insurance policy specifically excluded traumatic arm removal, lacerations caused by photographs, and any injuries sustained in a 'rock fight,' whatever the hell that meant."

"Georgie and Bill's dad, Zack Denbrough, was just over forty and beginning to feel his age. He was a good dad, if a little gruff, the way dads can be. He worked for Derry Sewer Company and had since he finished his four years at Buckworth College in Bangor, a brisk afternoon drive north in good traffic, especially

He has a terrible rapid-aging condition, brought on by constant exposure to energy drinks and webcam models.

My friend works for a market research company that does targeted advertising. They purchase browser meta-data, analyze it for browsing patterns, and use it to target advertising at users who fit different browsing patterns.

I kind of wonder how hard he's going to go after weed. It would be be another hugely unpopular action from this hugely unpopular administration, and more importantly trying to overturn state-based weed legality by federal mandate would be contrary to the "states' rights / small government" bullshit that's the

Shush - we're about six months away from a legal where corporations can only be tried by a jury of twelve other corporations.

When they came for the immigrants I said nothing
Because I was not an immigrant
Even though my fucking husband was an immigrant
And I assumed for some fucking reason that he would be exempt from racist immigration policy
Because evidently I don't understand how racism works.

I'm confused by the recurring use of the word "or" in these posts, when another conjunction would work even better.

Just smashing your sentence together, you should found a religion involving blimps the forbids looking up at things. That is the kind of impossible demand that a real religion would make.

"Battecar Compactica's adaptation of It describes Derry's streets in more detail than even Stephen King could manage."

Pretty sure Belch gets decapitated.

I can honestly say that I've spent my entire adult life thinking about how to adapt It as a movie. Even though my career has nothing to do with cinema or the arts, imagining a good movie adaptation of It has been one of my go-to stress-relieving activities since college. My thought for years now has been that a good

It's so. Fucking. Satisfying.

It's going to be interesting how a lot of this unfolds - the Russia thing is lingering, and it might actually stick somewhere, especially since some of the Republicans who dislike Trump are using it to put the screws to him.

I once saw an elderly gentleman driving a Buick with the license plate "NUTN2ME." I assume it was meant to be read "Nothin' to me," but I still drove behind him for a few extra blocks just admiring his cluelessness and/or chutzpah.

Somalia has pulled it off pretty well.
