I've found a reason for me... to not buy tickets to see... these bands that sucked when they were new...

If your headliners are a band whose lead singer has been dead for a decade and a one-terrible-hit wonder, maybe try harder.

Every single complainant needs to read the fifth season trilogy, dig that it's a towering work of science fiction, and shut the fuck up forever. It's like a scifi game of thrones except she actually FINISHED IT with a satisfying ending.

They could have stopped at “suck.” Much punchier headline.

And they never involve teachers in these bold new initiatives! It's always someone who wants a government contract for their curricula/standardized test/tutor service. My wife has been a middle/high school teacher for 15 years and you're so right - it's a cycle.

Not trying to change your mind. Just hoping that someone who sees the glowing recommendation will also see that people feel 100% the opposite as well, and temper expectations accordingly. It's damn near the worst movie experience I've ever had, and I don't wish it on anyone.

Sorry, I didn't mean you in particular are mistaken. I just read wayyyy too many reave reviews that focused on how 'transgressive' it was. If you find value in it beyond shock value, more power to you. To me it expresed contempt for its characters and the audience in equal portions.

Like.... "Billy Maplewood: [sobbing] ... would you ever fuck me?
Bill: No... I'd jerk off instead.
[sobs]"

Fuck's sake. I'm sorry. It's been 25 years and I'm still mad.

I don't mean to sound harsh, it's just if I can spare anyone from watching it I will. Any time I see it getting praise I can't stay quiet :). To me it just SMIRKS the whole time. "Am I shocking you? Am I blowing your mind?" No, because you have nothing to say.

Oh man. I’m still mad that I watched Happiness. Not a single true moment - not a line of dialog, not a genuine emotion, not a single character or interaction rings true. Its edgelord unpleasantness is mistaken for genius.

Unlike Nosferatu, you can actually SEE this creature.

And for my point to get proven: You enjoy telling people stuff they already know and think it makes you smart.

He’s definitely Ryan Gander now.

But your voice is great! Speaking or singing!

Yuntoo is one of my favorites from my Tennessee grandfather. “We should go fishin, yuntoo?

Yes, we need more sincere and passionate folks like Mamdani and AOC and fewer slick psychopaths like Gavin Newsom.

Close! It was a CVS. It’s just a mile or two from my house.
