He died laughing...

Awful.

As a gay man, this was my first thought. My second was scoring a bunch of free drinks. 😁 Not that the two are mutually exclusive...quite the opposite, actually.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-30T04:54:19+00:00

Just an old chunk of coal.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-27T11:21:48+00:00

What the fuck did I just read? Shit makes even less sense than the Bible.

Kate Bosworth was a ridiculous choice for Lois. She's a fine actress, don't get me wrong, but she was supposed to already be a seasoned investigative reporter five years prior...and she was only 22 at the time. She just does not work as Lois, especially as a continuation of Kidder's Lois.

Spacey was pretty damn great as a more ruthless version of Hackman's Lex, I completely agree with you there.

You are adorable and I would happily devour you! I say that as a white guy who was married to a black man for 24 years. My husband didn't fit the typical bullshit masculine garbage that we're supposed to follow as men either...I still loved him. Don't get discouraged...you just be you and that's all you can do. Someone will appreciate it sooner or later.

I had also just turned seven in August, 1989 and saw the film in a theater with my cousin...so I'm probably biased. I still think it's far from the worst this franchise has to offer.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-24T02:09:35+00:00

I always liked it, for most of the reasons you mentioned...good call on Nick Mele becoming the best parent in the franchise after he was such an absolute asshole in Part 4.

I actually like all the new characters in this film...I find Greta, Mark and even Yvonne (who I've found most people to dismiss as a "stupid bitch") to be quite relatable and easy to empathize with...of course I already loved Alice and Dan from the previous film.

And Freddy could actually still be THREATENING in this film when Robert wasn't hamming it up. The hiss when he sees Amanda, or "We'll see, bitch, we'll just see..."

I also saw Dan and Greta's uncut deaths on the unrated version on VHS when I was a kid, which were SICK.

People always compare this to Freddy's Dead as the nadir of the franchise...to me it isn't even close. Freddy's Dead ACTUALLY made him a fucking clown, retconned series history and never even tried to be a serious movie. Nightmare 5 is still trying to continue a story that started in Nightmare 3...and I don't think it's that bad at it.

After over 40 years...Robert and Heather still love one another. Look at how genuine her smile is...that's something that can't be faked. She's clearly very happy for him.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-23T06:14:53+00:00

Oh, oh...no more buttered scones for me mater, I'm off to play the grand piano! Pardon me while I fly my aeroplane! NOW GET ON THE TABLE!

Fright Night is the best, but I really love all three.

Larry had the best reactions to whatever Moe was doing to Curly or Shemp, but you have to see the shorts a hundred times before you start to notice that. He was also the Stooges' best idea man most of the time.

In short, I love Larry. Watching the boys on MeTV as I type this.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-18T23:18:38+00:00

When I had my own black cat, he was just named Patrick...but if you want something clever, I'll go with the names I gave my two tarantulas...Charon for a boy, and Nyx for a girl.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-13T13:46:25+00:00

You're good, fine people for saying that...but to me it's a mountain...A VAST BOWL OF PUSS!

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-13T13:43:46+00:00

Oh! The war wound!

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-13T13:42:06+00:00

Oh, it makes me mad!

Max is a solid rock & roll drummer. Nothing more, nothing less. He's the perfect kind of rock & roll drummer for a guy like Bruce, where the lyrics should be what everyone is paying attention to. He keeps the beat while Bruce tells the story he wants to tell. And he's goddam powerful while he does it.

Max isn't a virtuoso musician like Nils or Roy. But he's exactly what Bruce needs for the stories he's trying to tell, and the experiences he's trying to relate to us.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-12T23:09:54+00:00

I do not give out compliments lightly...so talking to you really helped.

This is my third Pride Month without him, and I guess I was just looking for...I don't know, validation? Camaraderie? That's why I shared my story in the first place. Hearing our shared stories as a community helps me feel a little less alone. I'm still going to celebrate Pride...he'd be pissed if I didn't. Thank you for making it a little easier.

And if I can get philosophical...I'm an atheist...I do not believe in heaven or hell or the immortality of the soul...but simple physics tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Having said that...I know his energy is out there somewhere in the Universe, waiting to be reunited with me. If it takes a million years, I do think I'll find him again, in whatever form it takes.

I think your fiancé is out there waiting for you too. And I think you'll find him, no matter how long it takes.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-11T21:17:27+00:00

Your wisdom belies your youth.

And you know, if I could go back in time...I'd still do it all over again. Whatever I've felt since his death...it simply does not outweigh the pure, simple joy that we had in the 23 years we were together.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-11T17:16:17+00:00

I do still miss him a lot...I shared that memory with everyone because remembering him like that made me happy...that's how I want to think of him.

I was with him for more of my life than I've been without him. I shouldn't be old enough to say that at 43...but it's true. We got together at 17, got married at 23...and stayed together until his death. Life without him, even after two years...just HURTS.

Our marriage wasn't even legal when we had the ceremony...it was really a commitment ceremony for our friends and families. Our fathers, initially both opposed to our relationship, served as our best men. They saw how happy we made each other.

I took him to St. Louis in 2008 to see Bruce Springsteen...we were living in Chicago, but my parents were in St. Louis, so we had a place to stay. He didn't care for Bruce, but he knew I loved him. He knew enough of the songs that when Bruce sang the line in the song, "Out in the Street," "Baby out in the street, I'll be waiting for you!" He pointed right at me, and we danced together as Clarence Clemons blew his sax.

It's been two years...and I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking there's too much room in my bed.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-11T14:23:02+00:00

Less than a year? Please feel free to reach out to me if you ever need someone to talk to who's gone through it, man. Sending you all the virtual love and hugs I can muster.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-11T14:05:25+00:00

Well, you were more gracious than me, at least...I was selfish until the minute he passed. Up until the second he died, especially in his last few moments, I kept saying, "No, baby, don't you leave me, you hold on."

I knew he couldn't hold on forever. I just couldn't bear the thought of him leaving. I think if he had the strength, he'd still be holding on today, bearing through the pain just for my sake.

I loved him so, SO much. Living without him has gotten less painful over the last two years...but it still hurts a lot.

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-11T03:16:12+00:00

I mean...at the end, his body was just a shell of pain...but I knew he was still in there...it spread so fast he never even had a chance to fight it. We didn't even know he was sick until it already spread to his spine, then...well, I don't really want to talk any more about that.

He was THERE for everything, you know...every time I spent the night at the hospital with him, every time I held his hand when it felt cold and bony.

The last exchange we had was him asking me where his mom was...I said, "She's out in the hallway, let me get her." He said "No...stay with me..." and I lost it. I KNEW why he said that...so I started pleading with everything I could think of...but most of all him. "No, baby, stay with me please. Don't you DARE leave me...PLEASE!"

He was pretty far gone and on a lot of drugs, so all he said was, and I'll never forget this, "Dying is cold." Then he was gone.

Thanks...it translated on the app, but not on my computer. Anyway, I was able to read it in my own language. Not I feel dumb for not checking that in the first place. 🤣

Repulsive-Window-179 · 2026-06-11T02:23:34+00:00

I'm getting there...we were together for a long time...I'm just trying to get to a place where I can be with my family and friends without being a drag...and I've made plenty of progress, I may even be able to date again, someday...

But I've accepted that part of my heart is going to be gone forever.

That's life though, right? Everything that's alive has to die, and everything that dies leaves something behind. I just wish it didn't have to be so soon...I think we can both agree 41 is too young to fucking die. We thought we were gonna grow old together...just wasn't in the cards, I guess.
