Read The Terror, if you haven't.

I loved Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion.

Hyperion fucking rules. How's the Fall compared?

Anyone seen what's happening in Mexico? It's not being reported on as much as I would have thought. But the Mexican government killed a cartel king pin and the cartel retaliated by taken over parts of Mexico, one area being Puerto Vallarta. I probably wouldn't have heard about it, if it weren't ...

In my naive assessment, I also think this has been avoided because it would stir a civil war-like ...

I hate fun


This movie was posted on a film subreddit and I read a long screed from an aficionado about how this movie wasn't really a predator movie and going into the finer details about how and why it was so terrible. It was a masterclass on wasting life energy on something insignificant ...

Also, it should be easily understood that if cartels are keeping you safe, you're not safe.


I feel the same, even before this. They keep asking us to come down there with our kids. I think it's wild to imagine going somewhere where the criminals run everything, and the local population could ...
