The screenplay doesn't make a point out of that, the character Alabama does. I really don't think we're supposed to think it's true, she just wants him to believe its true. And even in her version, he's not her first customer, but her second.

I saw them on their last tour. They were amazing and played forever. They never left the stage before the end of the official set and the encore. They played a longer encore than set and took everyone's requests. Mark literally said, "Is there anything else you want to hear? This is your chance." Then he was…

According ti Laura's diary, the horse is Troy, her horse who she set free and then he starved to death. I feel like the horse has gone beyond that story now to just be an image though.

Yeah, it's also a tabloid that favors shocking stories of sex crimes and slut shaming over the truth, which is the issue in this case. There is a weird disconnect happening here where the fact that the DM loves an exploitive story of a shameless American girl acting out in a twisted sex and murder orgy is being…

As someone whose mother was murdered and had the police also start this bullshit he didn't react right stuff, I'll just point out how stupid it is to judge someones guilt or innocence based on how you think they should act in a crazy stressful situation. You have no idea how you yourself will react until it happens,…

Here is some of the evidence against the guy you seem to think was framed simply for being black:

You should re-read this comment thread and realize that everyone else is having a friendly discussion about wrestling and your tone makes you sound like a world class asshole. You might consider working on that in the future.

I thought it played more like a board game myself. It was a pretty fun board game, but it wasn't an RPG to me. My group recently switched from 3.5 to Pathfinder and so far I'm loving it. I grew up on the Red Box basic DandD to 1st, then 2nd came out in high school. I've played them all eagerly except 5th, and…

I work in one of the newsstands they did this in today. It was weird knowing a big secret I wasn't personally all that interested in all day long. I thought it was pretty cool they managed to keep it secret though.

My defense of TT is all based around the line "Watch out for the gypsy children in electric dresses there insane/ I hear they live in crematoriums and smoke your remains." That one kills me.

I think the Stand-Ins is definitely better, probably my favorite OR record (although I will always have a soft spot for Down the River of Golden Dreams, which is when I discovered them). Both records are really good, but it is bizarre to me that the Stage Names is the official main release and the Stand-Ins the…

I understand. I also rarely see a movie multiple times in the theatre. In fact, I rarely see a movie once in the theatre. But having your movie be good enough that people who would have seen it once see it multiple times and people who would normally not have seen it at all see it one time, is the difference. For…

But that's not the gravy. That's the difference between BvsS underperforming and GOTG overperforming.

I don't really think that's true. Marketing gives them all big opening weekends, but the ones people actually likes have legs past the first weekends, which is how some movies (Avengers, Star Wars etc make it to a billion dollars), I see all the big superhero movies in theatres, cause I like super hero movies, but…

That documentary was really good and MTV should use their incredible vaults they never touch to make more of those for other bands. I have the boxset and dig it, but before you buy it look at what's actually in it. It is very heavy on late period REM shows and light, not only on the 80s, but also the 90s. Still I…

Wait, that's weird. I watched it and I could swear it was subtitled. Am I going crazy?

I hate that the show is also going with Westworld. As a kid was always like, "that's the most boring park!" I want fantasy world or future world or whatever the others were called.

I was reading something recently that said it actually wasn't the way we think of it now, where everyone bought in. That there was actually a tremendous amount of backlash at the time, even among religious leaders, and eventually the local politician put a freeze on the trials until he heard back from England. It…

Do you find that which parts and characters are your favorites shift? That's what happens to me as I listen to a record hundreds of times.

Agree completely about ATPM. I love procedurals. I was originally very underwhelmed by Spotlight, but on a recent rewatch I liked it a lot more.
