    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    1. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
    2. Searching for Sugar Man
    3. Birth

    Worst: Love Actually. So, so bad. False and twee and terrible in every way.
    I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?

    And I sorta liked Edmond. It's the least of Gordon's unofficial "urban nightmare" trilogy (with Stuck at the top and King of the Ants in the middle), that's for sure.

    It plays like it's written and directed by an angry 13-year old boy who thinks he just figured out the secret to life.
