I guess you missed the scene where Max cleans her up with a wet washcloth. Or where El wipes away the trickle with her thumb. Or the multiple scenes where she’s blindfolded and doing the whole astral projection thing with A BOX OF TISSUES IN HER FUCKING LAP - WHICH SHE THEN USES REPEATEDLY!

Busey and the rest were dead the second the mind flayer touched them. They and the rest of the zombie horde walking around Hawkins are all just extensions of the flayer. This is not only made obvious via dialogue, but blatantly slapped in your face by the fact that when damaged they all just melt into organic goo and…

Oh, and did you do all of this in a small town in Indiana? You’re correct that women were entering the workforce in droves and standing up for themselves, but to suggest that a small-town newspaper run by white guys in their 30s and 40s and owned by a man in his 50s or 60s would NOT be sexist is completely ludicrous.…

Agreed. It’s like complaining that Mad Men is sexist because of the way all the men treat women. Duh - that’s the POINT.

This! If you have the local top politician and funding coming from a consortium of investors looking to build a new mall, digging a massive bunker during construction isn’t all that far-fetched. Realistically it wouldn’t be that large and they wouldn’t have ANYONE in uniform as that’s a dead tip-off. but a few large…

Im not minimizing the issue, but since I shave my head I’m not at all concerned about this. Fuck you, lice!

Why am I not surprised that Kavanaugh sees no problem with taking advantage of drunk and unconscious people?

Im not buying it either. Statistics aside (and yes, I value them over anecdata or loud boasts from online internet randos) VWs are shit. I got a low-mileage creampuff Eos a few years ago and even paid for an extended warranty. That got me 3 critical engine failures in the first four months and a recalcitrant roof that…

I think after spending more money than any other movie made they were hoping for something more than “a thoroughly average action film, and entertained a fair number of people who probably wondered what the big deal was and forgot about it afterwards.”

I disagree with you about how bad it was compared to the standards of the time. Regardless, even if it was a flop it was not a disaster. 

Waterworld holds the record for the fastest whiplash of audience expectations ever. After the familiar Universal logo spins around the world we see the globe keep spinning for almost two minutes. As we watch, the continents start to shrink as the sea levels rise. Disturbingly quickly the earth is now a featureless…

Speaking as the owner of both a convertible Mini and a new baby (at one point) the ease of access with the top down is not as useful as you think. It was fine in the summer, but as fall came along and I realized I could either drop the top in the rain or contort myself to get the kid in through the passenger door, we…

I really liked my Mystique with the V6 and the 5spd stick. It had plenty of power, plenty of room and was pretty fun to drive. Handling wasn’t that great and the brakes struggled to rein all that in, but the biggest issue was constant electrical gremlins. I wasn’t sad to see it go.

Holy shit, a Contour looking good vs. a Toyota? I’m astonished. I had a Merc Mystique (or Mistake as they apparently called them at the factory) and while I liked the car fine, it had electrical gremlins that were never fixable and braking that didn’t live up to it’s BWM-fighting aspirations. 

Yes, exactly. If you read about this on their web site they tell this story, say they’ve offered to replace it for him several times if he sends it in and he always refuses. Then they say “We are secretly pleased.”

Oh I’m sorry - I thought we were having a discussion about cars. I didn’t realize you were a troll. Apologies for inadvertently feeding you; I’ll know to block you from now on. Good luck getting your jollies by trying to rile up strangers on the internet!

This ticks almost all my boxes: convertible, manual, low miles, decent color, good shape, but...it’s a Corvette. And one of the least-appealing generations, too. I’m just not enough of a douche or an old man to want to drive this and I just know I’m going to have more fun with another, more modern drop-top. I think…

You’re asking me the question, so I’m answering it with my opinion. No, this is not a nice price. If I wanted a wagon (and I’ve wanted them in the past) then this is not a particularly wonderful example as far as I’m concerned. It’s not particularly attractive, not particularly well-appointed, it’s very old and has…
