Update: I found something even better than a pocket knife. Found my Dad's leatherman.

Did you & your Dad ever take that Route 66 trip?

To me it's disturbing to even imagine that I'd put my name on something that was done wrong by request. If a client wants to have something done wrong, they'd have to ask someone else to do it. I mean I would go over their head if they just don't understand after an explanation. Pointing it out mea...

 He closed his eyes. The red light was still there behind his eyelids.  He worked over his dialogue of what he would say to them. It had been overwritten so many times and had fewer words each time.  "And what can I do you for?"  If they created her, there was not much to say. But they were draggin...

 "Why do you ask if you already know the answer?"  "You wanted to refuse."  He lay still and felt a gentle warmth radiate from the floor. For a while he had tried to count the days. The light was artificial and could not be trusted. He suspected that the days had been stretched gradually but could ...

Heathers is up there for me. Ready or Not I absolutely loved! I generally love dark comedies but for some reason I'm blanking on titles.

How has Elon Musk improved the lives of the average Joe? Also, how are you defining average Joe? I swe...

Once she completely changed her appearance and personality(?) as part of her play for the American/Anglophone market, I soured on her and avoided her albums for years. I eventually got over it, in theory, but much of her later music is also less interesting to me so the end result was the same. But...

In the immortal words of Stuart Scott, "Don't hate the playah, hate the game!" Actually, for the most part, I don't really care how much money someone has. If you build a better mousetrap and get abundantly wealthy in the process, so be it. Ala George Lucas, Oprah, Stephen Spielberg, Mark Zuckerberg...

I was looking at the title question before reading the choices of the poll and thinking I've gotten somewhat good at guessing whether a movie will be decent or crap based on the trailer. There was an urban legend years ago that (one of) the company that cut trailers would put cues in to tip off if a...
