Oops. Well, there you go, I've managed to officially erase catechism from my brain! (Though mine always focused more on random bits of arcana - deadly sins, venial vs. mortal sins, sacraments, blah blah.)

Damn, you've discovered my secret identity ;)

Not even close, think Genesis. But nice try!

There was a Sophie (just Sophie) in my graduating class. I didn't know it was that unusual, tbh.

My parents went with Biblical names for every one of the brood. Well, for the first and last one of the brood. Everyone else in the middle has vaguely-not-really-Biblical names (I'm sorry, explain to me how Mary Magdalene gets converted to Madelyne or whatever the fuck?)

Oh my gooood u guise, why can't you just see that it's so difficult to be the gentry? Like, really, do you think it's easy to buy fancy things and have people, like, stare at you all the time cuz you're better than them and not cuz you're actually an ass or anything? Forsooth, major embarrassment.

YEP. Everyone seems to forget that.

He's explicitly said that it's a good horror film, actually. He then went on to clarify, saying that this did not mean it was a good adaptation of his book or that he approved of it. This issue has come up a few times.

And, I would add, Wendy the character in the book is NOT the weak-willed shrieking wet blanket throughout the entire thing. She evolves pretty damn quickly in the face of Jack's madness. Therefore, I would think that, if you've read the book, the film would be even MORE insulting.

Because you literally cannot plead the fifth in her situation.

I... just...

I worked a fast-food job until recently where I was actually written up for throwing up before shift and calling in.

My favorite parts are when she brings her kid's dad's JD and her own fancypants degrees into it, when she mentions discipline being so effective that it allowed Hitler to take over (granted, I'm no historian but would you not classify that as "brainwashing and totalitarian rule" rather than "discipline?" IF you're…

You're going to be an ignorant mom.

Where does this arbitrary 16-year-old rule come up? 16's when you get car privileges, for some of us. Do you really want a horny teenager to have a newly minted dating AND driving license? (My parents had that rule as well. Frankly, that was one of the few I sort of disregarded entirely.)

Shut ya mouth, Maria. I can see the eyeliner when I'm five feet away from the screen. Own it. Accept it. Do not claim that you were born with it. That shit's Maybelline (or, more likely, Dior McFancypants Marvelous Scribbleye With Real Diamond Dust)

Everybody knows.

What?

I'm fine with her selling the tickets. My mom would probably drag my siblings, male or female, by the hair to reform school if this happened.
