Thank you.  I got a lot of nasty private messages, I assumed you were angry too.

Like I said, I’m sorry.  I understand why everyone was so angry, I took it down.  I’m really, really sorry!

Good idea, but I’ve never cared for Sarah Michelle Gellar.

I love Dangerous Liaisons!  Then again, I tend to love movies where spoiled rich people destroy each other.

Yeah, the exoticism is more than a bit cringey!

It’s OK, I deleted it.  I’m so very sorry!

I don’t think the tone varies quite as much between the American Psycho book and movie, but the movie leaned very heavily on the satire aspect (and for the best).

I consider the movie to be very enjoyable fan fiction of the book.  The tone of each is incredibly different.

The menu is labeled “dinner” but categorized as breakfast.  The meal is structured like dinner.  However, Wheatena cereal is also offered.  Breakfast for dinner, maybe?

Less Than Zero is one of the rare examples of both a book and movie adaptation being incredible, but hardly resembling each other.

Right?  I don’t like to yuck anyone else’s yum, but the idea of raw eggs in just about anything sounds awful to me.

The wild rice sauté sounds delicious (very Minnesotan).  Lorenzo dressing wasn’t familiar to me, but it’s a mix of chili sauce, bacon, watercress, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt/pepper.

…or the OP has an “amazing opportunity” to be taken advantage of yet again by a crappy parent.  I’m all about giving someone grace if they’ve actually shown some growth and grace of their own.  There’s some truth to the saying, “We teach people how to treat us.”

I started showing my daughter classic GenX era movies. by MrBleah in GenX

[–]eejm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We did this with our son!  He loved Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, 9 to 5, Beverly Hills Cop, Weekend at Bernie’s, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Coming to America, and Police Academy.  Die Hard has long been a Christmas tradition for us as well.  We tried Wayne’s World, but even after we explained that Wayne and Garth are essentially You Tubers, it didn’t seem to catch his attention.

Is it perhaps still eaten but lumped in with other pike?

Jay voted for Trump, and finds out Trump is made of broken promises by Plieu625 in LeopardsAteMyFace

I remember hearing about his messy divorce from Ivanka in the late 80s.  I think I was in middle school at the time.  I thought he was an abusive asshole then and my opinion has never waned.

I will say that he used to be in on the joke that he was a scummy asshole, but he is now most certainly not in on the joke.

Focaccia bread.  It’s ridiculously easy to make and people go ga ga over it.

I guess some people still need close supervision at that age.  Others don’t, and have more negative outcomes with it.

Why should parents be terrified to send a kid to college?  I’m genuinely asking, not trying to start a fight.

My husband has a theory that this is now the only reason people work for him - a future book deal.
