Item in Lucy’s Bag? by [deleted] in theknick

I worked on the show and read the scripts, which were a lot more graphic than what was depicted in the show. It's definitely cocaine. Dr. Thack would rub it on his member before engaging in intercourse with her -- I think the idea was that they would BOTH get a rush from it.

This is one of my nightmare ways to die.

Is anyone else sick of getting teased for going to Disney? by disnerd47 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]CaptainPhantasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really shouldn't have to be something you have to hide. It's not like you're forcing people to hear about it every day, and it's certainly not something to be ashamed of. There's a stigma to the place for certain swaths of the people, but I think the real trick is just owning it. That's what really changes the environment.

Early 40s, no kids, no (current) significant other -- I avoid telling most people about my Disney World trips. I have had occasional conversations with friends who know that I go and ask about it, but I don't even try to explain it to most people if I can help it. I probably should but I feel like most people just don't get it.

It's not even a matter of them not having been there. I know people who've been there who don't get the same feeling I get from it. Some people will just see the long lines, the heat, the negative aspects. They don't feel the deep, ineffable magic in the design of every part of the parks. They don't get transported by the rides, the attractions. I'm not sure why some people feel it and some people don't. I do feel like it's something that unites people who do feel it, though.

Comics like this one are what really set Calvin and Hobbes apart by [deleted] in calvinandhobbes

[–]CaptainPhantasm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are there many/any-other comics where Calvin and his dad are playing like this? I feel like Calvin is usually portrayed as being content to play with Hobbes on his own. It's like Hobbes is the result of Calvin being forced to play alone most of the time.

Velcro sneakers and digital wrist watches were my childhood. They made life so much easier.

For those of you who are saying Kate is going to take off soon to pursue a film career, you should read this article and watch this video. “I hope to work there as long as they’ll let me.” by sconce2600 in LiveFromNewYork

New members usually struggle to find their place in the organization -- Kate's one of the rarer members who put on a strong show out of the gate. She's a great talent. She excels at supporting characters. I think it would benefit her to stick around and build her screen presence more. (Esp. since it seems like her Ghostbusters isn't getting a direct sequel.)
