    I didn't sleep a wink last night. My job is so weird, I didn't even call anyone I just decided to fuck off. I wonder if anyone will notice or say anything.

    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?

    In my line of work, even if you call in sick you get in trouble.

    Just leaving would get you insta-fired.

    Then again I'm in retail so we don't deserve any basic human rights. We should probably have the tap water we drink through the day deducted from our paychecks.

    You ok dude? If I didn't show up for work my job would be calling my ass thinking something happened to me. I did tell my manager there was one Sunday or Friday when I almost thought about clocking out for break, getting into my car and just driving to the nearest bar down the road and not coming back for work.

    And it's happened once again
    I'll turn to a friend
    Someone that understands
    And sees through the master plan
    But everybody's gone
    And I've been here for too long
    To face this on my own
    Well, I guess this is growing up

    I've been with my boss for over 20 years (I'm 42). I kinda make my own schedule (to a point). As long as shit is getting done, he's not gonna care when I'm doing it.

    But last night was brutal. I'm fucking exhausted. Now off to soccer practice!

    Manhunter is fantastic and makes a great double feature with Red Dragon.

    I think they each have things they do better than the other.

    If you could do a remix/mish mash of the two movies together, you'd have something spectacular.
    They are pretty interesting to compare, as you can see here:



    Speaking for myself, while there are things that I prefer about Red Dragon's creative choices (like its structural differences I mentioned earlier, or Fienne's more sympathetic, tortured portrayal of Dolarhyde), Mann's superior direction of his version pretty much overrides everything else, even though I did feel Dragon had more tension and suspense than a Brett Ratner movie has any right to.

    Brett Ratner almost always feels like he is doing an impression of another director.

    I wish, because then at least his movies would have some sort of discernable style to them.

    I must have poked myself in the eye while sleeping last night.

    My left eye looks like Sigourney Weaver's in Alien 3.

    Router just up and died last night.

    Ordered one to pick up after work.

    That was $250 I didn't expect to spend.

    The guy who was the baby on the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind is suing, claiming it was child pornography.

    Crazy story. He is seriously going in on them too. Nothing held back.

    Before I get banned or suspended I just want to say I regret coming back and I should have just stayed gone. Love some of you, though.

    Don't post while drinking. You are literally manufacturing drama where none exists. Log out, get some sleep, and reassess.

    Go get some sleep. You'll be fine. I don't post while drunk anymore because nothing good ever comes of it.

    Yeah several of you literally acted like fools and yet I'm the one creating drama? That's fucking hilarious.

    Apparently it was in the 2000s madness thread? I don't get it either, which is why I suggested he get some sleep. There was nothing controversial going on in that thread.
