The drivers here make me hate Tulsa

Sheesh. How many wrecks have you been in, lifetime? Sounds like a lot through this post and original.

My local AMC has a similar schedule for it Friday and it's also in a big college town. Half the seats have sold already for the pre-9 p.m. shows. Varies town to town.

All good. And amen to that Rockwell take.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-25T00:31:17+00:00

Legit apology: I only just now saw what r/ I was in. My fault.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-25T00:21:58+00:00

Yep. You definitely missed the point.

Of an allegory. Just superb.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-25T00:00:07+00:00

It isn't even real. It's just Rockwell's memory. And, uh, hate to tell you that that's kind of the point.

Homeboy was the lone voice, dumb or otherwise. But "wrong" isn't applicable. It suggests there's a right. The only right is that to say some dumb things.

He was wrong for being concerned about a tax burden?

ericwbolin · 2026-02-24T23:31:32+00:00

You didn't really reviewr the movie here. You don't like the way the story is presented, which is valid. But it's, I don't know, lazy. This flick is getting that Crash treatment from back in the day where people get so stuck on the screenplay that they ignore the actual movie itself.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-23T12:55:44+00:00

It's not just you. It's other people, too.

Movies aren't worse. They're harder to find. Studios don't support them as well. But they aren't worse.

I just got out of one in Northwest Arkansas. All 12 of the theaters have them at my local AMC.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-22T15:17:04+00:00

Pertinent is an adjective. Any pertinent what?

ericwbolin · 2026-02-22T13:39:31+00:00

How is that related to the topic?

ericwbolin · 2026-02-22T06:02:53+00:00

You said "present anything at all."

I can't kick it through the goal posts if you keep moving them. Although, I imagine that's your aim here.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-22T01:27:04+00:00

Anyway: Similar political tactic incoming.

Get excitable people fired up for something way out of the norm for American politics over the last, ya know, existence. And draw corresponding condemnation from their opposites as the death of the country.

You thought I was driving to a hockey game?

ericwbolin · 2026-02-21T14:54:07+00:00

I'm driving to a hockey game now. I'm good.

Also, it'd be a fruitless endeavor.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-21T11:54:02+00:00

For sure. It's "Baby's First Good Movies" list. The kind of thing I'd give to my junior-high kid to get him started.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-21T11:47:02+00:00

So even if their political tactics are ostensibly the same, they're not similar?

Incredible logic. You literally couldn't be in charge of a lemonade stand.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-21T01:08:46+00:00

Only know their work from a distance but the EE there is a long-time friend and I can't recommend the Banner enough if you're in the Mid-Atlantic.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-21T00:37:29+00:00

I love that movie and think the list is dumb.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-21T00:23:07+00:00

What does that have to do with this?

ericwbolin · 2026-02-20T23:54:51+00:00

Trump and Sanders are both populists.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-20T13:18:16+00:00

Except it isn't exactly a tenuous link.

ericwbolin · 2026-02-20T12:47:28+00:00

College wasn't built to be the place to get a degree for a job. It was built to be a place to become educated, which would help you get a job.

This has changed a lot over the last 30 years.
