Make America Psycho Again

As long as Trump loses, both the Indians & Cubs can lose. Country > laundry

Sidney Lumet made a few of the greatest films ever made. Brian DePalma, I think it's safe to say, did not. In fact, "dross" would be far and away the kindest thing I could say about most of DePalma's output.

James Comey may want to look into this.

Mortal, moral, what is the difference?

It's so cute the way some people think Stan Lee is a mortal man.

Jimmy McGill was high on it, too.

1000 years old? So it's going to take place in Noah's time period?

This one is fine until you think too much about it. Did bee keeper suits also go extinct?

You forget that Jim's first amendment right to play footsie with monsters applies to or right to roast him for it. It's not a one way street.

Usually VR is depicted as something injected into your brain, with a machine stimulating your senses (or synapses) to create the VR illusion. But here it seems your consciousness is

I feel the same way when I list Lonesome Dove as one my favourite movies, although that's due to it being so long. But, like San Junipero, it really is just a single complete movie of a non-standard length.

I'm right there with everyone on this episode, but I have to say that the ending of Nosedive made me even more giddy. I really bought into it. And I laughed and laughed when it hit me that it was the Black Mirror version of a rom-com's meet cute scene.
