In the original, Eric and Shelly were normal people we could relate to and the other actors and scenes felt real. Now we have a hot-model couple and bad guy archetypes, all in a “gritty” world that doesn’t resonate with us.
As an aside, crime was looking pretty damned bad in 1994 and we thought The Crow was a near-future reality.
“Fifty thousand years ago there were these three guys spread out across the plain and they each heard something rustling in the grass. The first one thought it was a tiger, and he ran like hell, and it was a tiger but the guy got away. The second one thought the rustling was a tiger and he ran like hell, but it was only the wind and his friends all laughed at him for being such a chickenshit. But the third guy thought it was only the wind, so he shrugged it off and the tiger had him for dinner. And the same thing happened a million times across ten thousand generations - and after a while everyone was seeing tigers in the grass even when there weren`t any tigers, because even chickenshits have more kids than corpses do. And from those humble beginnings we learn to see faces in the clouds and portents in the stars, to see agency in randomness, because natural selection favours the paranoid. Even here in the 21st century we can make people more honest just by scribbling a pair of eyes on the wall with a Sharpie. Even now we are wired to believe that unseen things are watching us.”
― Peter Watts, Echopraxia
Me too. I’ve got several “purses”. Can’t stand much in my pockets.
Those books any good? I need something new.
You think this all started as a propaganda plot?! It was a rumor that went viral and was latched onto for propaganda.
“How does that make you feel about… Trump?”
God help me, I fought all the way through that 8,000 page monstrosity. I never want to read homoerotic fiction as long as I live, got quite enough of sweaty, muscly men and aliens rubbing all over each other.
Where do you live where this could be problematic?!
Sometimes we men don’t ask for help simply because we want to see if we can do it ourselves. It’s a test.
I often have work at my camp that makes me think it would be smarter or safer to wait until I can get help. Then I think, nah, you can figure this out. That often leads to novel solutions.
Crying in front of a woman has got me dumped a few times, like next-day dumped.
Bingo! People keep saying Clinton was ahead as well. Unless there’s a nasty October Surprise for Harris, she’s looking good.
because I say something to
a groupsycophants and they laugh
Alive he can go down in ignominy and we can move past him. Dead, he would be a martyr and would never leave America’s conscience.
I was a toddler when Nixon went down, but I heard what my parents had to say and combined that with what I’ve learned of history. Nixon was very popular, but once he went down he was like Voldemort, the one who shall not be named.
Funny seeing the line in Oklahoma. I’m from Tulsa and have always said Coke, but it wasn’t odd to hear pop. Soda? Get. Out.
This motivated me to, once again, try to find “Colin”. Lowest budget movie ever I would think. 200£? It’s a zombie movie shown from the zombie’s point of view. Seems like it had a great ending, been years since I’ve watched.

Neither the MP4 nor AVI look great, but seems the MP4 is the winner. Anyone have a better copy?
When asking yourself such questions, ask what law(s) might be broken. There are plenty I’m sure, but your PI should know exactly how to stay out of trouble. Unless when, maybe later, it comes out that he was up to shenanigans…
And no, I’m certain no justification is required to contract a PI. Imagine if there was, no one would do the job.
Toad Suck, Arkansas. Got a cool pic at the lock and dam, missed the park and the town itself.
Transylvania, Louisiana. Got a pic of the bat painted on the water tower, but the general store/Post Office was closed, so no souvenirs.
This ain’t the politics you’re thinking of. Most stunning show I’ve seen in ages, if ever.
Did you catch what the movie is really about?
Here go!
She has an eating disorder. Notice that everything bad she experiences has to do with food or her mouth? Also, she’s very thin and has symptoms of anorexia like nose bleeds and her hair falling out. There are some scenes, like in the bank, where everyone should be freaking out, but they’re only looking at her. She’s hallucinating.
