Ah far out. Thanks for getting me dialed up.

I mainly do edibles these days bc of my old asthmatic lungs. Hemp derived Delta 9 is legal in my state for now, but they've been talking about closing the loophole that allows it. Some long weekend car trips may be in my near future.

The trap closes.

And I shall die there with you, friend. It all comes down to the quality of the writing.

This is my poor wife. I've never gotten to the bottom of it but it's clear she suffered some math-related trauma. I've learned to tread carefully.

Maybe it just caught me on a good day but I enjoyed this one despite the lame Tom Marvalo Riddle/I am Lord Voldemort Rowling retread reveal.

Edit: Mrs. Flood is definitely The Master, though, right? 😆

We are asking the tough questions today. I'm proud of us and I think we should take the rest of the day off.

Out of curiosity I did some searching yesterday and the only thing I turned up was this post. I didn't realize search engines crawled the Fediverse!

Hope you find what you're looking for. ✌️

Don't get me started. For years people corrected me when I said LEE-nooks instead of Lennox. I finally gave up.

I rewatched recently as well. I feel like the emotional core of the movie is solid and for me it holds up rather well.

There is some terminology in the dialog that would widely be considered offensive today, but personally I still think it works in the context of the movie. Big surprise, LGBT people are people and they can be as awful to one another as the most bigoted of the straights.

I'm sure the casting choices might be different as well if the movie were to be remade today, but personally I think the trio (and honestly, Terrance Stamp in particular) delivered Oscar-worthy performances. I'd love to know what three straight cis dudes went through to prep for these roles.

Edit: If it is helpful at all, my perspective is that of a 50+ year-old cis baby bi/pan who enjoyed this film very much upon first viewing in the early naughties.

Edit #2: Fixed typo in Edit #1.

I know I'm not the first person to be stumped by a Far Side (e.g. Cow Tools) but...yeah, IDGI. What's the joke? Are the occupants of the suit dying from heat prostration?

I'd suggest you read about the Irish and the Bengali. What economic system did those famines happen under?
