  • I don't get it at all. It's not like movies are super expensive. Don't buy concessions and a movie is $8-$9. So, go see it anyhow, regardless of the reviews.…

  • I'm going to start using the word "twaddle" more often. It's an insufficiently appreciated word. A withering look and "twaddle" can leave your opponent without a counter argument.
