I knew my time was up when most of my coworkers hadn’t seen Shawshank Redemption. Watching that was just the cost of being bored in the late 90s.

Yeah, but the longer you have to wait to find someone who gets it the sweeter that moment is. I’ll go a good decade not working with anyone who knows a damn thing about Starship Troopers, but when I do… That’s a good, knee-slapping lunch we’ll have before one of us quits to never be seen again.
I don’t read much fiction, but I quite enjoyed the book Edge of Tomorrow was based on: All You Need Is Kill. The plots only overlap at a very high level, if that, so no worries on having it spoiled for you. It’s fun reading the protagonist’s thought process and I think the book does a far better job at making the aliens scary, the war desperate.
Wow. I had completely forgotten that I used to love Firefox mobile as I had customized everything with those extensions, till they disabled them and I switched.
100F in Houston is a completely different beast than 100F in San Diego. Shade will actually help you San Diego. Nothing will help you in Houston.
Sorry for the very late reply, but I’m hoping you’ll still get this: Find movies where you feel like you’re in the minority for liking. Then find critics who feel the same way as you. Root through their review archives till you find at least a couple other films where you both agree on fringe films. When you’re done you should just have a couple critics left. Read them consistently and hopefully one or more will be your long term go-to.
This is how I found my absolute favorite critic, Walter Chaw. The summer X-Men 3 came out alongside Live Free Or Die Hard. Both got similar RT scores, but I hated XM3 and loved Die Hard. Decided that any critic who felt the same as me would understand me. Was one of the best decisions I made.
It’s a trend recently started by the ancient Greeks.
It’s all subjective. The only way a critic can be helpful is if you become accustomed to their tastes and how they communicate them. It’s why Rotten Tomatoes CAN be a helpful tool but is so misunderstood as to be useless.
If a movie gets 10% on RT, but you’re in the 10% that fucking love that thing then that score means nothing.
It really annoys me that as a kid I learned about how awful Company Stores were, how lucky we were as a society to be past that history, and now they’re back on the table.
I know what you’re saying, but the idea of this terrifying someone is pretty funny.
Well overdue pulling “robber baron” back into the lexicon.
Do not try to deceive or scare the Post Op nurse. They have powers you’d happily avoid.
Edge is actually really efficient. Over the years I’ve gone back and forth between the browsers as each seems to go through periods of inefficiency.
I can hear this sentence. I always loved the cadence Grammer gave to the reading.
