Cabs are nearly always a nightmare. It's not surprising that something better has come along.

I loved it! Though it was probably the most understated of the vignettes, the part where he drove his daughter home from the party devastated me. It felt like a short story. It was perfect.

How beautiful was the whole movie? So gorgeous.

I hate #20's idea of a movie experience. That is so boring. I would rather be home than do that. That is snotty people fun; no thank you.

I love movie theaters and movies. I love them so, so much, you guys. One thing America needs added back to the movie-going experience? HUCKSTERISM! I want a spectacle, I want a gimmick. Give me double features or theme nights or whatever else your conniving capitalist brain can dream up. I'll be there, front row, happily eating my $7 popcorn. Just make it worth it.

I live there and it's alright, I guess. It's not, like, fun or interesting, but it's not the armpit everyone makes it out to be either.

How does that sound like approval of what's happening at Yesler Terrace?

I think you should be able to, but I don't think it's legal. What they're basically describing is a rickshaw, right?

tabletop_joe commented on What Do You Think of the Bronies Trailer?.

Fan culture is annoying no matter who are the fans or what they're fans of. I'm glad they're having fun. I don't really want to watch a movie about it, personally.

@26 He died before the film was made. So I guess we can't really make much of him... but still, I will speculate:

*He reportedly was not very excited to hear his little brother was found. Was that because he knew he wasn't really his brother? Is that because he saw through Bourdin but didn't want to be responsible for his little brother again disappearing from his family's lives? Or because he knew his brother was dead? Or maybe he had guilt about the disappearance in the first place?
*He reported that his little brother may have been trying to break into the house one night after his disappearance, which seems off.
