You know how you looked up to that one girl or guy in high school and thought to yourself, “If only I were that cool, I would be so popular?”
We all have a nerve that, when touched, we cannot abide and bite our tongue. Something Must Be Said.
Today’s QOTD: Continue reading
Well, cats, obviously.
I was always a cat girl. My first cat was a Siamese named Tiger, when I was two years old.
We went to the ASPCA and found another little girl when I was in first grade. I put my finger on the cage, and she wrapped her paw around my little finger. My father was not happy I called her Muffin. I thought it was a very classy name. Muffin was followed by Crystal: another name of pure class. Continue reading
Didn’t every kid have moments where they believed they’d been switched at birth or adopted? Create some fantasy that their parents were actually rich star-crossed lovers that were counting the days until they could reveal themselves to you and take you to their private island with its own Disneyland and 24 hour ice cream service? I’m sure most of us had an ideal Mom in mind and they called to us from our televisions, the big screen, and books. In keeping with the Mother’s Day theme, today’s QOTD is:

Hi Crasstalk, it’s that time again. Time for us to compare notes and answer our question of the day.
Ah, bad movies. They come in so many different forms. You have “So bad as to be amusing in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 way”. There’s “Bad, but also kind of entertaining”. But then, there’s also the flat out “I can’t believe I just paid $10 plus $6 for stale popcorn to see that garbage” (Think Battlefield Earth). Personally, I’ve only ever walked out of one movie in my lifetime, and that happened when I was in high school. That cinematic atrocity? Copland. Sly Stallone as a deaf-in-one-ear sheriff of a town full up with corrupt NYPD cops? Huh. Sounds nuanced. Guess what? It wasn’t. Plodding, idiotic, and confusing? Absolutely. I went with friends to see this moving the summer after my senior year of high school. We had free tickets from a friend who worked at the theater, I think. We lasted maybe an hour. What about you guys? What’s the worst, actual worst, movie you’ve ever seen?
Oh yeah, I love your little art-house offbeat indie comedy starring Parker Posey and that guy with the strange nose from that one Wes Anderson movie. But sometimes you just need a big-ass, big-budget epic monster of a movie. How the fuck else are you supposed to waste all of Sunday afternoon on the couch?
So for today’s QOTD…
What’s your favorite epic movie?
It’s time to make the tough decisions in life. Who do you fornicate with, who do you take for wedded bliss and who do you pull the plug on?
