Characters were top notch in this film. I never felt like anyone character was unbelievable or implausible.
Villain was a strong one, ending was chilling. Really sends a shiver down your spine. Kind of like meeting your neighbor for the first time and he's a 39 years old still trying to be a hipster.
Laughed my ass off at the main character because she just answers the phone like a motherfucker. I didn't answer the phone like her even when my only job was to answer the phone.
Just a heads up, abortion is the killing of a baby. I don't have all the answers, but that is what it is. If you want to be independent and make all the decisions for your own body, then just admit that you killed a baby and get on with your life.
I got a tremendous kick out of the scene where one of our important characters fails his piano recital. He sounds like he is playing piano for the first time. Babies can clang on the keys of a piano with more rhythm and skill than the guy on screen did.
A character named Barb tells a really uncomfortable sex joke to a prudish old man who is afraid that his daughter might have been killed. She's drunk and the scene is hilarious to me. It was really tense for my friend that was watching it with me. Guess he's an old prude on the inside.
Shot Glass Thought: Romance Advice Givers
I wonder how many of the people that give romance advice actually get any. I think it's more likely that the people that give the most love advice are wanking/bullying the bean more than anyone else. They are trying to mask the inactivity by fronting like they are transcendent of normal human desires. "I don't need to share about all the sex that I'm not having because then people could verify that I don't know what I'm talking about."
Think about the value of some art degrees. You can spend 100,000 dollars on your art education and still only be able to make your living painting beach sceneries on 8x10 canvases. That's yard sale shit right there man. I'm glad I got out of art school. Idk why I was ever in it really, but it did help me to become a bartender and that's really all that matters. I can day drink for weeks on end with my skillset and if anyone asks about it I'll just say that I'm testing out a new recipe. If they see that it's just the same drinks over and over then I'll say that I'm experimenting with the measurements. So yeah... fuck an art degree.

Shot Glass Thought: Ancient History
At some point in the future everything that we do as Americans will just be stuff for another culture to discover in a 1000 years from now. America is the most powerful culture in the world right now. He have the biggest bombs, the most guns and the right kinds of psychopaths in office. But make no mistake, this will eventually go off the rails. Maybe sooner, maybe later. I don't have any sort of idea as to when it will take place. Think about this, Pakistan was the home of the most powerful culture in the world, like 2000 years ago. I don't know if that's true as far as the date, but yeah there used to be a badass empire out there. Nowadays it ain't shit. No culture, no empire, just oil and violence. Our culture is doing pretty well I think. The Greeks had Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. We had Tupac, Biggie and now Kanye West. So that's better than most empires I think.
Comedy Story: Watching Movies With Friends
Watching a movie with friends is a pretty fucking rad way to spend your afternoon. I might be one of those guys that spends 60 years or more tending bar. Which means that I really better find someplace easy to work. It doesn't mean much more than that. In the meantime I will need to find some pass times to help me run out the clock on my life and one of those is watching movies with friends.
Horror movies are obviously the best for this kind of evening. We have, ideally, a very small crowd. We are all under no social pressure to act in a way that isn't true to who we are. Because we are close with these friends and they are real friends. So we can get scared at the chronic masturbator and woman slasher that we see lurking on the TV and also lurking through the shadows in our apartment as we go for a pee break midway through the movie.
Inviting unknown elements into the fun is a must, sometimes. We have a flow, we don't need to fuck with that flow too much. Just a little bit. Inviting someone that we aren't too sure of care be a great way to mix things up, but inviting people should not be a part of the routine. I might spend the next 60 years of my life studying water only to choke to death on a cup of tap water after a pack of peanut butter crackers. But in the meantime, I will have watched a lot of movies with my friends and only sometimes with random, unconfirmed folks.
Drinking alcohol while we do what we do is a goto for me. In the same way that some guys will tell you that they have a way with the ladies only to die as miserable old virgins, I like to drink. They like to bullshit you and I like to drink. Okay it's not the greatest comparison ever but whatever. If it's a bad night, and by that I mean the group has decided to watch a comedy, then yes I am most certainly going to drink. I just do not enjoy most comedies. I mean, we are hanging out and we're all funny, we make each other laugh. Why would we listen to somebody else for that? I'd rather be scared and then make each other laugh about that.
The guy who talks through a lot of the movie about other shit is not welcome up in this bitch. We are watching the movie and occasionally, OCCASIONALLY providing commentary. If you aren't into the movie, do not try to redirect the whole experience to yourself. Just fucking leave or play on your phone. If you're the guy who does this shit then you are probably also the kind of guy that tells people that you'll own your own business for 25 years without ever even making it to manager at your travel agency. Doesn't stop you from calling yourself director of sales agents. It also doens't stop you from masturbating constantly until the day you realize enough is enough and put a bullet in your head.
Deciding when the movie actually sucks and we have to make our own fun is a subtle skill and indicative of experience. Watching The Shining we barely said anything. It was such a flawless film. We watched some shit during the summer that had a lady take a bath with her dad's dead body. At a certain point it has to be a conversation about "Should we bail on this freaky shit?" or "Woah WTF? Are we about to talk through the rest of this freakshow?" The dead body bath movie had us making a lot of jokes. So we still had a good time. If we would have done that to The Shining then I would have found new friends. But also it would have ruined the movie. It's all about balance.

Short Funny Story: The World Around us is Pretty Dangerous
Plenty of bad news in the world. There is always some waiter with dreams of spending the rest of their life on a music career being fished out of the lake. Plenty of sex trafficking and murder news. Never any of it good. A real surprise would be to turn on the news and see a story about a maniac that was going to kill a bunch of people but the police caught him and stopped him from doing anything. You'd shit your pants if a few months later he/she was actually sent to jail for their intentions.
Sometimes people just die.. for no discernible reason. No alcohol, no drugs, no hints at a suicide. Sometimes you leave your 9 to 5 and just veer off the road to a cataclysmic smash. After that you're done. All your ambitions and dreams are gone and you're never doing anything else. That chick from Tinder that you snuck into the bathroom at work to send an unsolicited dick pic to, that's your last communication. That's tough man.
There are plenty of random things that can explode or burn or destroy us. Restaurants have plenty of ways to burn down or explode. It's fucking crazy that people aren't more afraid of them. Probably for the same reason that some pilots get drunk while they are flying. You just get so used to being around all this metal clanging, burning and booming that you forget that it could all kill you. I could spend 60 years studying wine and then still find a way to drown in a vat of wine. I would try really hard to get out, but once the irony dawned on me, I'd just let it go. I would hope that it would be Cabernet Sauvignon. I love Carbernet, if it wants me then it can take me.
You can breathe in lethal gasses from your car. Some people kill themselves by closing their garage door and keeping their car running. It's probably one of the best ways to go. Especially when you compare it to falling asleep at the wheel at the end of your 80 hour work week and then launching yourself through your front window after you orchestrate the brief introduction of tree to cold hard car parts.

Shot Glass Thought: Somehow Not Cold
Somehow in the year of our Lord 2019 there are still guys that think that it's tough to pretend like it's not cold. How far will these literal numb nuts take this shit? Some of these guys could be interviewed while running from a family of yeti in the woods of Siberia with a t-shirt and jeans on and they would still say that they aren't cold. Maybe the adrenaline brought about from the running from yeti could make them not actually feel cold, but given a few minutes of rest after the escape they would get cold and not admit it. Which is why we should all be rooting for the yeti to catch them in the first place.
Shot Glass Thought: More Than I Want to Think
Sometimes I want to try something more than I want to think. This applies to a lot of different things but today it applies to margaritas. I bought the tequila, sour mix and triple sec for my house margarita. The margarita that I have in my literal house, which is an apartment. I wanted to try it out so bad that I just decided to make a margarita as soon as I got home. Only problem was that it was 10:37am when I got home. So I had a margarita for breakfast today. Which means that the chicken "nibblers" as their packaging says got eaten in one sitting. I can't ever just not eat when I've had a drink. Plus drinking ups my appetite. So when I tell you that one breakfast margarita led to a 3 hour stretch of chicken nibbler....nibblering, that ain't no lie. I've also learned why my meds say not to take with alcohol. Because I feel like I made it to 26 years old without a day of sleep. Now all of a sudden I need to sleep enough to make up for all the lost time.
