  2. Roanoke was a pretty shitty season of American Horror Story, but it did give us this anecdote from one of the Vulture recaps.

    Quote

    Now that we’re talking about inappropriate advances toward straight men and Leslie Jordan, whose character asks Rhett Snow if he’d ever heard of “gay for pay,” I have a great Leslie Jordan story to share. About ten years ago, I was interviewing him on the phone for a show he was doing and he was sitting on the sidewalk in L.A. because he doesn’t get cell reception in his house. In the middle of one of his answers, he stopped talking and shouted, “Hey! Hey, you!” to someone on the street. “Didn’t I see you last night in Gag the Fag 4?”

    Please be careful about inflicting some of these movies on young kids.

    My dad was on the road a lot. Mom would go to the drive in and take me. When I was 7 she went to see In Cold Blood dragging my ass along. I had nightmares for years from the Clutters being murdered in their beds. Still get the creeps.

    When we went to see Smile a few weeks ago, at the Lakeline Alamo, there was a family in front of us with a kid that had to be maybe 6-7 years old. We were hoping they were in the wrong movie, but no. After the first scary scene, maybe 20 minutes into the movie, he was sitting in one of his parents' laps. They stayed the whole time. I mean, WTF? There is some disturbing shit in that movie that was making grown-ass adults jump. That poor kid is probably still having nightmares.

    i didn't know Austin was bangin Vanessa Hudgens, shes a baddie too.

     

    That was a while back; he's dating Kaia Gerber now - Cindy Crawford's daughter. She's a dead ringer for her mom.

    I thought Austin Butler was fantastic, and I hated Tom Hanks as much as I loved AB. Probably because his character was horrible, and whether or not Hanks' accent was actually what Parker sounded like is moo because either way it was terribly grating.

  5. My son's also 14 and we watch tons of movies together. He loves scary/horror movies the most, but here are some of our faves across genres, not including many of the ones y'all have already listed.

    • Get Out
    • The Goonies
    • Stand by Me
    • It (I know, I know, but in between the horror is a great coming-of-age story)
    • The Shawshank Redemption
    • Ready or Not
    • Dead Poets Society

    Others we haven't seen together but that are on the list:

    • The Green Mile 
    • Good Will Hunting
    • True Grit

  6. I really enjoyed it. Of course all the Texas stuff, but also the portrayal of the condescending New Yorker thinking he's smarter than everyone in a hick town - I actually loled at the exchange with Paris about Chekhov. It also had few fun plot twists. 

    Ashton Kutcher's only in a few scenes but he's great. Honestly, the whole cast was spot-on. 

  7. Sure, not much about that battle made sense, but it was fun to watch. TBH I'll watch Matt Smith in anything. If you weren't familiar with him before now, check out the Dr. Who seasons with him. Karen Gillan is in them too, if you need an extra reason.

    i still don't get the hate for amy schumer.  she's not cute but a lot of chicks aren't.  her first few specials are fucking hilarious and i like the way she creates her material, and i'm a pretty harsh critic of standups.  

    I know this is OT but I totally agree on the Amy Schumer hate. She's not perfect but when she gets it right (see: Last Fuckable Day with Tina Fey, JLD, and Patricia Arquette) she's golden.

    I guess there’s just no way to bring attention to the sexual abuse of children without sexually abusing children.  

    I was thinking this, too. What a weird situation.

    I had a coworker who got bit by a brown recluse and she had to have most of the flesh on her leg debrided from mid thigh down. She described it thoroughly and it’s nightmare fuel.

    My wife’s brother was accidentally set on fire by her father squiring lighter fluid on a slow fire when he was 5. 2nd and 3rd over his torso and up his neck, fortunately not much on his face. All in front of my then his family including his 10 yr old sister. They lived in the country in west Tennessee and drove him to the county hospital. They wanted to helivac him to a top class pediatric burn unit in Memphis but my fucktard father in law wanted him treated at the small town hospital so he didn’t have to travel. My wife was in the room while they debrided his burns and it rips my guts up when she talks about his screams and torment. It was a ptsd moment for both kids, it wrecked the family in guilt and anger. I fear burns like nothing else.

    I feel for Anne Heche as she took her twisted messed up life and just destroyed it. Her family has to continue to deal with her shit, her addictions, her mental illness. Unrepentant addicts and uncooperative mental cases leave a trainwreck behind them.

    That poor kid. I was in my 30s and had given birth twice so I wasn't a total stranger to pain, but I can't imagine going through that as a child. Then the aftermath is unpleasant, too - for me, the debrided areas kept getting infected despite the silver cream and oral antibiotics, and the pain was still significant. I couldn't even clean them or apply topical meds without taking Vicodin 30 minutes before unwrapping the bandages. I'd lose my mind if my child had to go through that, especially over a large part of their body.

    Motorcycle wreck?

    Golf cart, believe it or not. I was sitting on the back and the driver put it in reverse but the gas pedal briefly got stuck so instead of shifting back to drive once we got on the road, we went across the road into a mud and water-filled ditch. I fell facedown but put my hands in front to brace myself, hence the injury to my hand, and the cart kept rolling till it stopped with one of the wheels on my forehead. I had managed to turn my head to the side before it fully stopped rolling, which is why I did not drown in six inches of Crystal Beach ditch water.

  11. 1. GoFundMe for the woman whose house was destroyed

    2. Re: burns - several years back I was in a nasty accident where some of my injuries were treated like burns. All the skin on my left palm was scraped off, as was the skin on several knuckles and on a large portion of my forehead. When I first arrived in the ER (UTMB in Galveston) they gave me a bunch of morphine (among an assortment of other drugs) and I still wouldn't let them touch me on any of the injured areas. They decided I needed to go to the burn unit so they could clean and debride the wounds. Before they started any of that, though, they gave me what they called a "fentanyl popsicle" to help with the pain. All this to say that significant doses of morphine and fentanyl (and whatever else they gave me) did fuck-all for the pain and it took two of them to hold me down while the third did the cleaning because I couldn't stop myself from screaming and thrashing around. It was maybe 30-45 seconds per area. I was praying to just lose consciousness but it never happened. Anyway, given what happened to me over a relatively small area, I cannot imagine the pain for large areas of significant burns. I just can't. There aren't enough drugs in the world.

  12. My son and I got tickets to this as soon as they were on sale at the Drafthouse. Thoughts below.

    Spoiler

    I liked it but didn't love it. I liked the characters and the writing, but the story was all over the place. Usually, with JP movies, you get some weird imagery in the teaser trailers and/or the opening scenes that is nonsensical out of context, but comes together when you see the movie. In this case, there were lots of intriguing shots - the girl with the creepy face sitting on a set of bleachers; the bloody movie set with a deranged chimp, where there was also a woman's shoe seemingly balanced on its toe - but it never completely became cohesive. I kept waiting for the Gordy's Home situation to tie into the bigger alien story, especially considering that shoe, but it didn't really connect except to give Steven Yuen's character some backstory. The girl with the creepy face was just a costar from that set who was disfigured when the chimp went nuts. 

    I thought things were really going to pick up from the relatively slow beginning when OJ is out in the stable(?) at night and the creatures emerged from the darkness - that was a fantastic, super creepy scene. But then they ruin it with it just being the Jupiter kids. It's like they had all these great elements on their own, but they just couldn't completely make it work.

    Anyway, I've been wondering if I'd have liked it better without having any expectations going in. Probably.

    I watched this drama unfold for a couple hours today while rocking the baby. Ziggy's defense held for a couple hours, an unsteady truce was briefly formed, then Mango expertly baited Ziggy away from the bed before claiming it for herself. Who needs TV!
