It's all of these things mixed together. I liked what you said on Lbxd about it being about having no control over your life. probably the richest example of trying to find the mature subtext in a comic book character

a couple weeks ago I got some bad medical news from my dad and then went to see Apollo 13 and it was making me cry the whole time because it's quintessential my dad Cinema. today I got some more bad news and went to see Gaspar Noe's Climax and did not have that same issue

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Shocktober Read No. I Lost Count Already, Jesus H. Christ. I love dorky horror anthologies like this and so far it's pretty good

I used to hate Yoda for telling Anakin to forego all emotional attachments as a Jedi but lately I have been wondering if the little green fucker might not have been onto something

I had a similar issue recently reading a novel from the late 19th century that described a guy as being "well hung"

This is one of the rare times in Illinois politics when you could call for the governor to be jailed and be incorrect.

The President of the United States is calling for the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois to be jailed.

I've always been feeling better rather than worse after talking to my parents on the phone

I'm "able" to but not without a lot of other territory decision-making and variables. but part of me feels like, absolutely nothing else matters right now

I have no idea what people do when this happens and I know it doesn't matter anyway because everyone's situation is different but it is so hard to know what the right thing is

more bad news from my dad. it really feels like the situation could deteriorate fast without some luck. he's supposed to start chemo soon and a month and a half ago nobody had any idea anything was wrong, surreal and upsetting. I know nobody can answer this but me but am I supposed to go back home??

It's a given in the music industry that "I've fallen in love!" albums are usually regrettable, and "I've gotten a divorce!" ones often have some of the artist's best work. So question for the group, what are the best "I've fallen in love!" albums?

I'm kind of surprised Ken Russell never made a film based on The Beetle by Richard Marsh. would have fit right in with Gothic and Lair of the White Worm
