  • I’ve got a lot of play in my life and the woman almost always made the first move. Because I don’t want to be a creep giving unwanted attention and I’m the kind of idiot where a woman can come sit in my lap and stroke my inner thigh and I’ll think “hmmm, I wonder if she might be interested in me.”

    If a woman has never hit on you, I’ve got bad news for you dawg (assuming you want a woman to hit on you).

    Edit: Lemmy, help me settle an argument. The night my wife and I got together, she sat in my lap, leaned back and into me, tilted her head back, put her arm around my head and pulled it down, and placed her mouth millimeters from mine. But I moved the last two fucking millimeters so she insists that I kissed her. Who kissed who first?







  • Idea for a new job:

    Become an expert consultant on having just the right amount of AI bullshit in your ads to generate a ton of free engagement (like this thread) without taking away from the effect in people casually watching it who hopefully won’t notice.

    Seriously, discussion over this, here and elsewhere, has forced more Coca-Cola branding into my brain than I think I’ve seen in the past year.


  • The deal was the Republicans got their eight votes from senators that aren’t up for election soon.

    It always goes something like that. It’s never 30-40 senators or house members from the opposing side that vote for something when a deal is reached. It’s always just enough, with the votes coming from the ones most able to take the hit due to not being up for election next time, in a safe seat, very high popularity, etc.

    Even when the minority leader admits to being part of the deal, they aren’t necessarily part of the group voting for it.


  • They may just be confused about what they heard, or they heard that from someone confused.

    Something I heard, which sounds more plausible, is: rotisserie chickens that have been sitting around a bit (not even close to going bad, just not very hot and fresh anymore) are used to make the things they sell with rotisserie chicken in them, like those trays of chicken and broccoli Alfredo. (I can eat an embarrassing large portion of those “family size” trays.)

    I could see how after being passed through a few people that turns into what they said.







  • The fourth he wrote and directed, not including one of the rooms from Four Rooms. The first three were Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown.

    Before he was big enough to do whatever he wanted he also wrote True Romance, but his ending was different. He does like Tony Scott’s ending though. He also did the original screenplay for Natural Born Killers, but he has basically disavowed Oliver Stone’s interpretation and rewrite of it. I definitely consider it to be an Oliver Stone movie. From what QT has said about it, I would be interested in seeing his remake. And he did the screenplay for From Dusk Till Dawn, but he chose to concentrate on writing and acting so Robert Rodriguez got to do it.

    With the exception of a couple little things, that’s everything he did before Kill Bill. You’re right though, it seems like he was considered a much bigger thing that his number of credits would suggest when it came out.

    Edit: oh yeah, the original question: This title has been used before on a smashup or two movie set, but as I understand it this version also has some changes to the editing, including some unreleased scenes, that affect the narrative. Not really changing the story, just moving some stuff around to make it more appropriate for one big movie, like the reveal at the end of 1. Also, it seems like he’s doing a “road show” of the 70mm print like he did with The Hateful Eight.




  • Depends what you mean by work. Before I finally quit for good, I had several attempts that failed. If I could drive for more than 30 seconds without passing a place where I could get smokes in less than a minute, I’m pretty sure one of the earlier attempts would have stuck. I sure as hell wouldn’t have engaged in any black market activity to get them.

    I’m not in favor of restricting other people’s choices due to my lack of willpower, so I’m not in favor of bans. But if your definition of working is a very large percentage drop in smokers, it might work despite adding tobacco to the black market.

    It would certainly be a lot harder to get pack-a-day addicted. It would probably be a more occasional indulgence for those that did get them.
