If it's too hard to NOT be an asshole to a six year old, maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't be a teacher.

Me too. I’m also kind of worried about them. I don’t think great things happen when someone gives you $30 million in cocaine to smuggle and you get caught.

Marilyn Manson isn’t goth. Sometimes I just can’t even with you people

Being a drug mule has always given me an irrational fear. Like I’ve never come close to being a drug mule, but every time I read a story about one I somehow think “omg that could be me and now someone is cutting my stomach open to get their cocaine out aaah!” But yes I’ve never viewed it as a glamorous lifestyle...

Thank you. Tort reform is a bunch of bunkum. It’s like a SLAAP suit writ large enough to cover every consequence a corporation or government agency or some combination of the two could possibly experience. Lawsuits can be very helpful, not only in obtaining compensation for individuals, but in punishing corporate…

It is. The “Love” part is about loving cocaine.

I would have taken far better care of that cocaine.

Oh, I was taking about tort reform in general, not Cinemark specifically in that aspect of it.

And welcome, everyone, to the world of “tort reform.” In this Brave New World where we may all be forced to live soon, giant corporations that are heavily insured can act with impunity, or just recklessness, and when people are maimed, killed, or permanently disabled, if they happen to lose their lawsuits, the…

Yep, Cinemark, sadly, is going on my ever-growing list of places to avoid. Fuck this.

I’m with you completely. The theatre wasn’t at fault, but the plaintiffs weren’t being frivolous or malicious... They believed in what they were doing. These are normal, grieving people with normal bank accounts, and for a hugely profitable corporation to have them forced to pay those legal fees isn’t just cruel and…

At the very least, they should have realized that it’s very bad PR to try and recoup the cost. What were they thinking?

Learned this from a comm class: we all have our special personal space zone (one for super close people and bigger rings for progressively distant people) but we make an allowance in crowded situations with one key factor: the no-eye-contact move. You could be pressed up against a total stranger and be okay so long as…

I live a mile away from what has to be the most incredible Cinemark theatre in the country. I told both my kids to never give that company money again. Is the company responsible for what happened? Hell no. Are they responsible for how they reacted to lawsuits from shell shocked and grieving families? You bet. It’s…

I wouldn’t be surprised, but I think that the hardcore NWA fans - the ones who were always most emotionally invested in their music - are over 45 and won’t comment on it.

It seems that the TV movie will exist as a counterpoint to last year’s N.W.A. biopic, the box-office smash Straight Outta Compton.

Cue all of the Hoteps coming out of the woodwork to tell her to “Sit Down, and Shut Up, Again!”, and “Why are you trying to bring down a Black Man”, and That’s Why Don’t Nobody Want Y’all Ass, Anyway!”, and, and, and...

Same here, wouldn’t be able to tell you the last time I even hugged my sisters. Though my beloved dog passed away last week, so that’s made a lot of people very huggy towards me. During his last visit to the dog park the day before I had to let him go, I actively hugged all the “regulars” (humans, not dogs, because…

Between the noxious, Zach Braffian mix of sadness and twee, and the the fact that Joe Swanberg is involved, I’m gonna pass on this one.
