Oh man, she absolutely rocked it. I got physically nervous when shit started to hit the fan. Her descent into madness was really great.

I watched The Babadook a couple of days ago...and it is amazing! There is a severe lack of good horror out there, so any time I can find one, I latch on to it for dear life.

Batman and Superman only work because they are compliments of each other. Bats is mean and moody, a cynical man bent on revenge. Supes is more idealistic and believes in the common person. Having both be total wet blankets is just boring.

Yeah, it seems like when you get Clooney to the point of fisticuffs, then something is really wrong.

Anybody or anything even tangentially related to contemporaneous Adam Sandlar is automatically on my shit list.

At the funeral of a co-worker who died young (19 years old) from a hole in his heart, the evangelical pastor kept prattling on about how it was Gods will and he’s now in a better place and all that stuff. The kid was raised in a strict evangelical Christian home, but later developed his own sense of identity when it…

I mean, Obama just came here for the first time ever. Of course, it was during General Conference, so it got kind put on the back burner. I have determined that politics in Utah is just insanely fucked.

90%? What sort of fictional world to you live in? 95% is pretty average, 98% on weekends and High Holidays...but we do have to leave a little bit for football and pro rasslin.

I super hate that very true fact. “Angel” the show is very close to my nerd heart, so I would rather know him as the conflicted hero than bigoted a-hole.

Eh, maybe. I’m just overly cynical about the whole thing. I have to beg and plead with very old, very rich people all the time just to squeeze any sort of donation out of them. And if they do do it willingly, it’s so they can get their name in the paper, or on some brick outside our community center. I’m just sick of…

If it were a perfect world, and she actually wanted to help beyond the immediate, then she should create something sustainable that many people have access to. She has the means and network to do something like that.

No, not at all. You volunteer at a woman’s shelter (I’m assuming fairly regularly), to provide assistance to woman who need support. You are actively and directly helping. If you were pretending to be a battered woman for a week to “raise awareness” for your shelter, then I would have an issue.

That’s great! “raise awareness,” whatever the fuck that means! She pretends to be poor for a week and people suddenly start saying she understands how the other half lives? Please. Her buying food with SNAP to “raise awareness” is like trying to “raise awareness” for cancer by shaving your head. It’s a nice gesture,…

Perspective is fine and dandy, but when all is said and done, she’s still going to go back to his mansion and her millions of dollars and be just hunky dory. Besides, living for a week on food bought with SNAP means bupkiss: there’s no danger of her not making rent, or being one bad break away from total ruin. It’s…

And I am okay with each and every one of them bleeding each other until nothing is left but their desiccated corpses.

What the hell is with the Star Trek font?

I totally feel I would be like “man, forget her. I’m out of here!” and just leave her ass with the band. But I know I would totally sit there is a self indulgent pity haze and hate drive her back home.

I really like that. Mad Men, in a broad sense, is about the changing of America and the American Dream, and you can really pull the thread from now till the 60's to really see the zeitgeist of it all. In a micro sense, Don is the encapsulation of the US: once slick and sexy, holding onto some ideal that makes all the…

I don't know...I think Don is going to live a full, long life with all his faculties, safe in the knowledge that he will never be able to catch the illusive dream that is just beyond his field of vision.

There’s no rape shown, but heavily alluded to, as well as DV. There is a lot of really intense emotional stuff though that can be tough. I think it’s a good movie, not great, and has some real emotional depth to it.
