No offense taken, I'm actually from Juarez and if you had completely badmouthed Juarez, I still wouldn't be offended. El Paso hasn't changed a lot, a lot of your descriptions I could apply to many areas of the city nowadays, although I think they've been making an effort to make it more tourist-friendly; the downtown

Speaking of which, how's Generation X? I love some of Coupland's books and would call him one of my favorite writers, but I've never read Generation X and I'm wondering if it would hold up now.

What do you remember from El Paso/Juarez back then? I've lived there my whole life! Anyway, I spent most of that year being four years old and I don't remember much except that The Lion King, an dulce, and Saint Seiya must have been a pretty big deal for me.

Yeah, I'd rather see him do another movie. And it seems like he's already working on a bunch of stuff, so great for him.

I don't see how that'd help. I want this to be good and if it's good, I want it to do well, but I think a lot of fans (myself included) will always wonder what this movie could have been with Wright making it.

It's an awful, awful movie. But he was good as a baddie in Angel's Dance.

Maybe, but it's a crime thriller and a drama more than anything. It's not going to portray everything favorably because it would rob it of the necessary atmosphere. Juarez has had a very stigmatized image for years, but I'm not going to deny that we've had a lot of things that have won us that image and that we still

Elaborate on Zack Snyder, please.

The Houdini movie that Max Landis is writing, is supposed to feature Lovecraft. Not the same thing and who knows it will be made, but it's something, I guess.

Ridley Scott's cut of Kingdom of Heaven has one. So did the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I don't know if those count, though.

I appreciate that the show had Pintado killed, because sadly, that kind of thing does happen. But I would have bought it more if Pintado wasn't from Mexico City, but if he instead was working for the state government. Cartels and the own government tend to avoid messing with federal employees or agents, because they

What impresses me about the show is that it's not afraid to show the sad reality of someone like Pintado getting killed, but that it also manages to include some cathartic badassery. It's very hard to manage both territories without it coming off forced or unbelievable, but the show has made it work rather well. I'd

It wasn't. It started off really well, with one of the better pilots I had seen in a long time. Then, it became a hodgepodge of serial killer movie clichés, culminating in an overwrought climax that kind of worked because it was character-based, but fell apart because of its corniness. Afterwards, it had a very good

I used to fall asleep all the time with the TV on. Now that I think of it, this was really helpful when my anxiety was at it's worst. Now that I have it more controlled, I don't really need it but it's a pain in the ass to set up anything on my TV so that's why I don't set it to sleep mode anymore, but I wish I could

Wow, i can completely relate to this. I've never been officially diagnosed with anxiety, but doctors I've spoken to and my family say I have all the symptoms. It was especially bad when I was in my teens, to the point that I ended up developing vitiligo in some parts of my body. It was just this awful feeling of

I've heard Steve Moffat has done this a few times.

Yes, but also Juárez.

That's probably a bit more accurate description. By all means, the rain or snow we get in the border is not really that much, but the infrastructure makes it seem like we are constantly dealing with Day After Tomorrow-levels of weather. Juárez is much worse in that regard, though; just a bit of rain and the streets

Wow, I guess now I really should read Dossier and Century.

It's still on the mexican Netflix if that counts.
