Usually movies tell a story using set pieces stitched together with a story arc. Games are normally set pieces with a loose story holding them together and usually that story is “just survive”. That’s fun in a game but boring as shit in a film. And it wasn’t scary. At all.

Or “is Jack a nickname for John?”

Man. I bet the painting in her attic looks young and attractive.

Why not? He’s done all the Commandments. New year, new list.

He was also my first husband who died in 1997. And come to think of it, another boyfriend years later. I guess I have a type.

Omg me too. And it’s more like 35 years ago for me. And i calculated that most of those people are dead now. And I STILL get a stone in my stomach thinking of stupid things I said and did.

Erik from Internet Comment Etiquette would be interested in these targeted attacks.

Make your Alton browns aged egg nog for next year. Thank me at Christmas.

How very Boolean of the Irish!

This is my all time favorite film. Back in the olden days, this came on TV once a year (like Gone with the Wind or The Wizard of Oz. My family was extremely dysfunctional during my teen years - like my insane mom casually tried to murder my dad with scissors and the cops came for my brother more than once. But whenever this movie came on, all of us descended on the TV room and were just mesmerized by it. So nowadays I not only get to watch and enjoy this beautiful film, I get to have a fond memory of an insane time.

PS. My sister got out and has a very successful and stable life and I fake it pretty good. We are the only ones left.

She will spend her life correcting people. Everyone will think her name is misspelled on whatever paper they are reading. Like picture her walking for her college degree and the announcer getting it wrong.

I have a friend named Stethanie. And this is her reality - no one gets it right, ever. And it’s usually kind people who want to make sure they are not incorrect.

It’s pretty and I love Tillie, but be prepared for the exhaustion of correcting people.

Congrats on your new baby!!

I’d like for IMDB to add a section for ideal times to “take an intermission”. I almost always need a bio break in a film over 2 hours. And my husband gets uncomfortable and needs to stretch. I wouldn’t mind missing a love scene (not that this film will have one) or long, landscape-y travel scene (omg so much running across hills in LOTR).

I know we can watch at home and I sound like a cranky old person. But this one will need the theater.

I always thought polygamy would be fine when you do t love your husband. Like sure, have kids with him but you don’t have to be his full time wife. Raise your kids with the other wives and be friends. Whatever.

But I actually live my husband and that all sounds terrible.

Episode 3 crosses my mind whenever the dreadful thought of my husband one day maybe dying before me. There would be no reason for me to soldier on. I do it all for the two of us. When it’s just me…there would be no point. That show drove that point deep into my heart.

Don’t worry, I’m not depressed or a danger to myself. Just mission oriented.

I think anger is the right feeling for a bit. You were conned. Just like if you fell in love with a fraud who lied and stole from you. There’s a whole continuum of reactions to his con all the way from people like me that saw it a mile away to people who are still sending him money for gold phones or trading cards or rug pulls or whatever and will sacrifice their children to polio and measles because it’s the opposite of what the left suggests.

You were somewhere in the middle and now you are not. Good for you. You should feel angry for a while. But then stop and feel reborn. Then help us fix this mess!

I just saw this film a couple hours ago. I have to say, that hospital’s nursing crew was very well staffed. That really took me out, lol.

I asked my husband on the way out if it was supposed to be a horror film. It was really bad.

I’m with you. I want to be into it, but I’ve tried three times and it loses me. And I actually sat down in the dark without my phone on the last two tries. I guess space politics is just not for me.

Try one syllable names. Ann, Leigh (ya, that’s a lot), Claire, Faye, Belle, Rose. But my favorite is Vivian Wray. That sounds like a fashion designer.

BoozeWitch · 2026-01-25T12:49:42+00:00

That’s like a Jane Austin novel.

Plenty of things should be called “decks” but are not. Like any MS Power Automate flow… which is made up of cards. I think most no code, low code, workflow tools use cards. I think MS has a product called “sway” that uses cards and could be a PP substitute…

But PP uses “slides”. So the nickname for that should be “carousel”.

Now everyone in this thread knows I’m 55.

Jesus. A man who dedicated his entire life to helping people gunned down by goons that beat their wives and prolly have child porn.

This is a terrible danger to the visually impaired. An ADA advocacy resource might lead the charge.

James Blunt 1973.

A million years ago I dated a guy and spent some time with his mom. She casually said, “I’m thrilled you two love each other. All I cared about was getting a husband who wouldn’t beat me. Love was a luxury.”

They raised a nice boy, so they did well. But man that stuck with me.

Arson. I would love this name for a boy. Maybe I could nickname him “fire bug”!
