It's hard to overstate how important the film is to cinema. It pretty much established what the modern movie is.

That said, based strictly off of entertainment value. IMO it is just absolutely terrible.

In fairness, I really like onion rings.

Depends on your age bracket, in my opinion.

At 20, it's like catching the game winning touchdown for the national championship when your team was the underdog.

At 40, it's like winning a hundred bucks on a lottery scratcher.

At 50, it's like getting a free order of onion rings with your meal.

At 60, it's like getting an extra nugget in your 9 piece.

I am firmly convinced, based solely on what the tinfoil hat whispers to me, that both of these "attempts" were funded by the GOP as an effort to drive media attention towards Trump.

After all, they have fully admitted to making up stories to get media attention. Is it really too far of a stretch to think that they would pay some poor sucker they view as disposable into being a threat in his general vicinity. The whole thing just feels like a media stunt from a wrestling promo.

I bought a refurbished litter robot about a year ago, and was initially aghast at myself for spending that kind of money for it, but now I am convinced it was worth the price.

It has made one of IMO the worst parts of cat ownership significantly easier, with the upside of being better for the cats as well.

Even with the high price I would recommend.

I agree, and I once dated a cosmetologist.

Every time this happens, I am reminded of this Pulitzer prize-winning article.

It can happen to anyone, but a large majority will never believe that. It's a heart-rending situation.

My fear is that the next one will be worse.

There is a very distinct plan here. They want to drive out the teachers who believe in empathy and compassion, instead to replace them with the kind of person who prefers armed hierarchical power settings.

This is just another way to change the education system for the worse, and if it continues, it will take generations to fix.

Those acorns don't stand a chance

Those loafers sure are a pain.

My personal favorites are the Assassin series, starting with Assassin Apprentice by Robin Hobb.

Some of the best most heartfelt characters I have read in any modern fantasy, with a brilliantly unique type of magic and adventure. There is some political intrigue, especially within the first trilogy, but it isn't overly burdened by it.

The whole series has continued to be a heavily character driven emotional roller coaster that I would love to be able to forget just so I could read them again for the first time.
