There are some cardinal rules in movies that characters should follow: Don’t go into the jungle at night alone, don’t pick up hitchhikers and if there’s a legend about a giant monster around, turn the other way and run.

University…it’s a bastion of higher learning. A place where one goes to further their understanding of the world, expand their horizons and improve their chances of gainful employment.

Ep. 67 - Dog Park

It"s Not That Bad ·

2023/02/15

There once was a time when movies could wax philosophical about love and spout theories about the world of romance that sound deep and profound until you realize that those concepts only exist to justify the sad, sorry state you’re in.
