Sorry, I'm a little fuzzy on my history - was Arizona a barren, lifeless wasteland prior to the invention of indoor plumbing and central A/C?
I think dodging a bullet implies that this all got sorted out and they called it quits before they said "I do." I think we can all be happy that no children were born of this marriage.
I hadn't either - but seriously. He's been married like...five minutes. How much could he have really learned?
Uh, hello? He learned that spitting vs. swallowing is the primary concern when choosing a life partner. How much more do you need to know?
This pet WDT is timely. The bf and I are considering a bull mastiff when we move in together. If anyone has experience with them/tips/generally useful info, please PM me. Also, I feel it's time to lay odds on how long it takes 'sack to rebound with a stripper marriage.
I think Russian mail order bride is more likely than a stripper. Right reasons? Like her family has a crap ton of money? Or she's unable to have kids?
Wanna know why labs are great? Spoiler They just are. I sent him in the stream after a stick and he went for the whole tree.

I'm going to lay on the couch and watch movies today because I have a fucking cold that is sapping my will to live or do dishes or be productive in the least. Any suggestions? Because I am also too tapped to really think much or google shit.
It's pretty meh. It will never be a good movie, but I think this version is as close as it'll get. Leo D, it dawned on me while watching this movie, is not actually a very good actor. He's just pretty.
Anything with Zinc. Mucinex knocked my cold out in about 2 days. My nose was literally dripping like an open faucet. Granted the cold may have only lasted 2 days, but that stuff cleared up my nostrils. Went to work like that too. *I* managed not to infect anyone else, but the cunt that gave it to me was hacking on every fucking surface she could. I'm wasting my day as well. Not because of illness, but because of crippling depression and red wine. I'm going to continue drinking this bottle, from an unpronounceable vintner, read some more, then nap with my dick in my hand. No. It sucks. The source material sucked. Baz Luhrman sucks. The only thing DiCaprio did that was great was What's Eating Gilbert Grape because he wasn't acting. Get it? He's retarded.
I can't handle Leo right now, there's a certain smugness to him that is grating. I agree with Black Jesus' commentary on him. I am thinking Alien and sequels, I have never seen it and hear I am not a well rounded individual until I have.
I tend to devour old TV shows when I'm sick...personally, I went for 9 seasons of Seinfeld when my neck was hurt and I was in bed on muscle relaxers.
Everything about it is terrible. And the worst director this side of Uwe Boll helmed it so what more do you need to know? While on the subject, Why do people go nuts for this boring overrated book in the first place? Rich people still throw parties in honour of it. They still force high school kids to read that dreck. I just don't get it.
I thought he stood his own very well against a powerful Robert Deniro in "This Boy's Life." A lot of his early stuff is fun, like The Quick and the Dead, he also carried Catch Me If You Can pretty well. I agree he's not some all time great actor, has he ever been nominated for an Academy Award? But he can fit into roles nicely. I also skipped the new Gatsby because of the recent trend in period piece movies like this to lend itself to CGI porn. The one shot of the people poppin bottles in a model T convertible while crossing the Brooklyn bridge with a 360 circle of the car exemplifies what I mean. It really takes me out of the feel of the time period when they do this spinning shot that no camera was involved in shooting. Peter Jackson really opened the flood gates with this with King Kong but I can forgive it a little because it is supposed to be an action movie (though a little tiring on the senses after 4.5 hours).
If memory serves me, he was Nominated for Gilbert Grape, The Aviator and Blood Diamond. I thought This Boy's Life, Departed and Django was by far his best work.
There are two types of people in this world. Those that love Great Gatsby, and those that despise Great Gatsby with clinical obsession. My friend tried making the case for it, but I stopped her. "I know exactly what it's saying, I just don't care." If I ever hear the term "Old Bean" again, someone is getting fucked with a rusty shovel. The problem with Dicaprio is he looks like a 40 year old teenager. I can't take him seriously. Then, to double down on awkwardness, the producers hired Tobey Maguire, a midget bug eye with one expression (that of being bug eyed) to co-star as a possibly closeted stalker. So it kind of mirrors real life in that sense. I'm surprised Jonah Hill wasn't cast as "Friend with Eating Disorder and Perpetual Neck Sweat."
I feel the same way about Catcher in the Rye. People hold it up as one of the greatest American literary works of all time, and consider Holden Caufield their personal hero. I thought the book sucked, and Caufield was just a typical whiny, spoiled teen. Nothing special at all.
