One star for a great reading/write-up of this movie, and I’d give you another, if i could, for your Kinja handle. No matter how you ultimately feel about Southland Tales, Dwayne Johnson as Boxer was a shining spot.

This is brilliant and deserves all the stars.

I’ve known more than a couple people who felt that way. I even had one friend who had waking amnesia as a side effect. When he’d take one, you could tell he was less than lucid, and by the time it wore off he’d have absolutely no memory of the last 6 hours or so. For me, they’d just make me groggy and pass out (I had…

This is true. I didn’t really want to get into my dosing instructions or how I take them, or why (my posts are already too wordy). Long story short, they were prescribed as needed as I’ve been suffering from anxiety attacks since being diagnosed with inoperable colon cancer and have been fighting insomnia since my…

Yeah I was on Xanax for a long time and while I (thank God) never ended up behind the wheel, I eventually had to switch meds because I started sleepwalking which is the most TERRIFYING shit ever. Serious Paranormal Activity-level shit. First night I woke up standing in my living room. I was freaked out because I…

+1 for Jayne Mansfield (brutal!).

I hit a ten point buck going down a highway extension at around 65-70 in my 1992 Acura Integra GS (which was pretty dang low and the first car to make me feel old when I sprained my knee getting out of it). The deer went about eight feet in the air and came down on the hood/through the windshield of a Saturn Vue…

That was fucking awesome. Here I was thinking only the Netflix shows could do such well choreographed single take fight scenes. Thanks for this!

The entire budget request reminds me of when I was younger and I’d justify spending money i dont have with, “Well, my phone bill isn’t due for another ten days, I’ll come up with something.” As opposed to now, where I just don’t care that I’ll be broke for the last two weeks of the month.

Say that last one outside of Yorkshire and you’re gonna get smacked.

Yes.

Congratulations, you jut left your wheelchair-bound, suicidal child on a bus to be taken by child protective services because you decided that responding to words with violence, no matter how morally right you may be is okay in a civil (however unjust) world.

Thank you for adding “necropedofelcher” to my insult lexicon.

My mom’s DD has still yet to be exactly identified (she passed in 1994 when i was 9, and by the time i was old enough to think to ask, my dad, thanks to years of alcoholism, couldn’t remember exactly). It was a late 60s-early 70s MASSIVE orange Plymouth (?) wagon. It had at least (!) three rows, but I seem to remember…

I felt the same way about the tea party.

Sort of like a fictional version of “the Grifter.”

Honestly? Most likely some were confused, some didn’t initially notice — the defensive linemen wouldn’t necessarily see it in time as their attention would be divided between the (actual) punter and the snap. A couple people thought they were about to be gifted a too-many-men penalty and a few realized something was…

I was personally lured there for a summer by the promise of cheap and easy access to Japanese porn mags.

Thanks for this, now if you could please provide us with an example of a glottal stop, we would appreciate it.

Great point.
