It's too bad that I compared Casino to Goodfellas. It never matched up and I might have thought different if it was someone else. Goodfellas was awesome.

Casino is a fantastic movie, the only problem is that people keep comparing it to Goodfellas.
If you saw Casino first you wouldn't even think about Goodfellas.

Sorry. Casino was boring compared to Goodfellas. It felt like it was inferior. There's nothing wrong with you liking it. Just not that great to me.

Same with Tarantino. Pulp Fiction was fantastic. Can't say I was a fan of Kill Bill. I thought that Inglorious Basterds was stupid. Give me Reservoir Dogs any day.

Jackie Brown is the most underrated of the series. And also aged better than almost any other late 90's film.

Death Proof was just terrible. Especially the dialog. Tarantino is a good writer but he obviously doesnt know how to write for a gaggle of chicks.

Jackie Brown was the best of the post Pulp films. Death Proof was great. It was supposed to be cheesy.

Bree Olson talks about life after porn.

If you are too lazy to watch a video, I'll summarize: Its tough.
She doesn't think there's anything wrong with making porn, but there's just enough people in the world who do that her life is miserable. She cannot get a regular job. She had to turn to homemade cam porn to get by in life, (she bragged about making 60 grand per month and god only knows where all that money went). And even though she has a relationship she just isn't happy.

Another one is Gauge. She used her earnings to go to nursing school and when someone found out about her porn career she was finished. They refused to let her graduate. They don't have an official policy against any prior careers in porn. Somebody just decided to not sign off her certificate. She's 40 now and has no opportunities.

Some of these girls are lucky and will marry a guy who takes care of them. Many will not.

WTF that is just wrong. The nursing school should do a full refund then. You would think they can sell it as saving a fallen soul thing.

They closed the skidoo trails for the year here, pretty crazy. Maybe we actually will get an early spring... there is no signs of any snow in the forecast for at least 2 weeks. I fall for this every year though... then we get hit with like 3 storms back to back.

My buddy in Colorado got hit pretty hard. It was only a two day storm, but dropped 26 inches. I think he said his sister south of Denver had it worse.

Finally got a good night sleep. That's with just 6 hours and a morning storm waking me up. I've been a walking zombie at work the last few days. Daylight Savings messed up my sleep patterns. Normally, I adapt in a night. Took a couple of nights to adjust.

I'm still messed up from it too. Been going to bed later and getting up later and just overall feeling sluggish. My night teeth clench issue does not help though as that is greatly affecting my sleep too. Seeing a doctor in a month, I really hope there's something that can be done to make that shit stop. I'd like to go back to normal, and also not need the mouth guard anymore, that thing freaking sucks.

I just tried CBD oil, just to see what effects are. But don't think I took enough, but try more later. It's going to be for sleep but just want to see what it does while I'm awake first.

If this stuff works, great... but it's not cheap. :eek: May be possible to get it prescribed though.
