You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I don't get the enjoying of the rotting corpses. Don't they stink really bad?

You'd think. Yet it seems to be a popular side project among serial killers.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I wonder what the fascination is. But, if you have theories, please don't tell me.

My brother has the best whackjob killer stories. The dude who gutted his wife and strung her innards on stakes in the back yard "because she overcooked the spaghetti" is in his prison.

Strictly Ballroom is awesome, Kat. I'm having a hard time making myself give it back to Netflix.

You guys are kind of creeping me out with all the serial killer talk, and yet I keep reading anyway. And, knowing very very very little about serial killers, I would've guessed that Florida was the biggest serial killer state. And yet, weirdly, when the term "serial killer" comes up, the name "Salem Strangler" is the first to pop into my head. And I haven't watched DooL since I was, like, five.

Strictly Ballroom is awesome, Kat

Really? Cause I sort of think of it as the Australian version of Dirty Dancing except with ugly people (that was a review from one of my friends in college).

Okay, but the part where Paul Mercurio slides across the floor in that gold sparkly matador jacket? Heaven on a stick.

Strictly Ballroom is Baz Luhrman. It is very, very good.

Hahaha. Well, put like that, I have to say I enjoy Dirty Dancing more, since it's somewhat more cohesive, as far as storytelling goes. And the challenges facing the couple are greater, and more personal. But Strictly Ballroom is way over the top, on purpose, and is very quotable. It's much funnier than Dirty Dancing.

Oh, not at all. It's far more of a weird, loopy, funny thing.

And the leads are more attractive than the leads in Dirty Dancing, damn it.

But, if you have theories, please don't tell me.

I have none! So you're safe from me.

Yeah. I'm still pissed at Baz Luhrman for fucking up Romeo + Juliet by having Juliet be a spineless gutless girl and I still get nauseated everytime I see Moulin Rouge. So, yeah, Baz Luhrman not a selling point for me actually.

Ah, I'm a huge Moulin Rouge fan. Never seen his Rome + Juliet, but I always thought Juliet was a wuss, no matter whose version you saw, inlcuding the original Shakespeare.
