  1. I just figured he was fucking someone he wasn't supposed to be fucking and needed a cover story for why he wasn't at home.
  2. Idiots. Everyone knows alligators don't like how people taste.
  3. So no posts yet about Y'all are slipping.
  4. Meanwhile, on Fox News:
  5. Several random thoughts. CinemaCon was greatness. I love how they followed the trail of nacho cheese and how Quinn kept tasting gross things. And how Griffin is 82, lol. And the "old-school Hollywood buffet." The wardrobe choices are interesting. I kept waiting for someone in the show to mention Maya's clothes. And Quinn dresses like Mary Tyler Moore in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. I have never found Seth Rogen or Ike Barinholtz attractive until this show but whatever they're doing is working for me. The finale was awesome. Even though everyone was tripping balls, the word I kept thinking at the very end was "wholesome". It was sweet how Matt thanked everyone onstage and then got everyone to cheer, even though that part was to cover for Griffin. He looked so genuinely happy.
  6. This story is super weird. The autopsy showed "no signs of illness or injury that would have contributed to the boy’s death." No fucking way am I getting on one of those. It's floating wicker propelled by fire.
  7. If you're in the Austin area, try to catch a Jaws on the Water showing at Volente Beach. You spend the day at the park, then watch the movie while floating in a tube on the water. They have scuba divers going through the water and grabbing people's legs while they watch - it's really funny. They used to have these showings several times every summer, but they didn't do them the last couple of years. It's back now though and hopefully will go back to being an annual thing.
  8. Five THOUSAND National Guard troops coming to Texas?? Jesus Christ.
  9. I have, and I'm assuming (hoping) this is a compliment.
  10. I really liked it. It's a very faithful adaptation of the story, and like you, when I read the story I couldn't imagine it as a feature film. But it's surprisingly feel-good, considering the first act, and has tons of great cameos. I don't think I've seen Mia Sara in anything since Ferris Bueller and she was great here. If you're a Flanagan fan, and a Stephen King fan, I'd definitely see it in a theater.
  11. I hate these assholes as much as y'all, but I really wish we'd lay off calling Abbott "Hot Wheels". He sucks because he's a bootlicking Trump syncophant, not because he's disabled.
  12. Well...it didn't make me like billionaires. Interesting concept that just wasn't well-executed.
  13. Just saw and loved this. I read the short story back when the book came out and thought it was fine, but the movie does a great job of bringing it to life. It was a bit on the nose with the central theme (although it's fair to assume we're a nation of idiots who need to be beaten over the head with the point to get it) but still a lovely film. And if you're a Mike Flanagan fan, a ton of his mainstay actors make cameos.
  14. Off topic but there's a restaurant in Austin called Tommy Want Wingy.
  15. I liked it, but if I'm ranking the Philippou brothers' movies, Talk to Me is still #1. I thought A Dark Song was a better meditation on grief. The acting was great, especially Sally Hawkins (of course) and the kid who played Oliver. Some nitpicky thoughts/questions below.
