I live in Austin, where we have like 5 Alamo Drafthouse Theaters. As everyone knows, they have a very strict no talking/texting policy. You know why they're the most popular theaters in town and why they're making money hand over fist and expanding all over the country? Because they give you an ACTUAL EXPERIENCE. Instead of showing you shitty Coke commercials before the movie, they show you video clips or retro ads that are in some way related to the movie you came to see. It's a restaurant where you can buy booze and decent food at your seat, and a server will bring it to you. They have events like Master Pancake Theatre where they do an MST3K thing to movies everybody hates, or quote-alongs with movies like The Big Lebowski, or Girlie Nights, or Terror Tuesdays.
And you know what? They kick your ass to the curb if you talk or text during a movie (unless of course the event calls for it). And everyone loves them for it.
I LOLed when that one dude, the "little shit" or whatever, freaked out about Tony Hale not being able to figure out the coffee machine. Very American. Very cursing.
Thanks for validating my tastes, Gabe. All of my friends were being haters about this show because "it wasn't as funny as they thought it was going to be." Huh?
Like, can someone just take a beheading for the team and kill that little shit Joffrey? I mean, they'd lose their head, but Joffrey would be dead, so...
Also, Tyrion. I love you.
And lots of WTFs on the smoke monster bit. Here's another. WTF?
You are correct. Tsunamis are caused by 1 of 4 things (or any combination of these, I'm sure):
Deformed plate boundaries that cause the water above the plates to be displaced, causing huge waves on the surface.
Earthquakes on the ocean floor
Landslides
Volcanic eruptions.
None of those have anything to do with climate change.
I've always been the guy who reads the book first. I'm enjoying not knowing what's going to happen and then being disappointed when it's not EXACTLY how I pictured it in my head.
I also think maybe I couldn't get over the fact that my parents haven't helped me pay for anything since I was like 19 years old, so once I found out the main character's "plight," I couldn't get past this sort of sense of superiority (unearned as it may have been). I dunno. I just couldn't relate.
I didn't really feel sympathetic towards any of the characters except the Mom. I don't really think I was supposed to relate favorably with her, but I did. The rest of the characters? I found them kind of annoying. Like, these aren't real people? And if they were, I would not want to be around them ever?
I also did not laugh.
So yeah, thumbs down from me.
True. That was a great scene, which is kind of my point. Every scene they have together inevitably ends up being one of the best scenes of the episode.
I didn't even think about that. I don't normally go around telling people to kill themselves, bt dubs. I just thought it was absurd how much gravity was lent to the idea of removing a music blog from one's bookmarks because said music blog expressed an opinion about music, so I decided to ratchet up the absurdity....ugh. Why am I explaining this?
Simply stating the fact that Doritos and Taco Bell were literally plastered all over everything downtown isn't advertising. I think they managed that on their own already.
Doritos and Taco Bell paid me 50 bucks for this comment, btw.

I don't understand how I've lived in Austin for 5 years and have never once seen any member of the Friday Night Lights cast. I would kiss Rigs on the mouth. No homo.

Adam turning down that offer was a really sweet sentiment, but DAMN SON! You gots to get paid. Who turns down over 2 million bucks, especially when they have financial problems and can't afford to send their daughter to the ivy league school that she got into? WILL SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?
