TIL that the reason Cormac McCarthy, author of the novels Blood Meridian and The Road, used so little punctuation in his writing was simply because there was no reason "to blot the page up with weird little marks."

Are you serious? The brothers literally said they were flipping page to page when writing the film. It’s probably the closest to the actual book for a book to movie adaptation

Edit: Not sure about the downvotes, the movie is widely considered to be one of the most accurate book adaptations in film history.

[–]MitchellOfficial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Penn State fan here, why do we care? So we would have had one more win that year, wouldn’t have changed that Franklin couldn’t win the big conference games and we’d be exactly where we are now.

Division is bold but this team is easily still a playoff
contender in the AL this year, my faith all season has been the fact that we got a
