My youngest went to his first Giants (baseball) game at 11 days old...
Five days after that his first rock concert (Metallica, of course).
Ear protection on, slept through pretty much all of it.

Re: Can someone explain what's so objectively bad about Hill
I believe a lot of it began early during Bill's Presidency when he put her in charge of healthcare reform. The idea of a First Lady being involved in policy really seemed to strike a nerve with the establishment and she was savaged beyond belief. It was after that period that all the Vince Foster an...

Re: Can someone explain what's so objectively bad about Hill
I saw a meme that said something to the effect that "Hillary is everything that's wrong with our government, and Trump is everything that's wrong with our culture." Like all memes it's fatally simplistic, but I think it touches on the legitimate criticism of Hillary - she is the consummate politicia...

:noclue: I could see doing this once or twice a year for a particular film(s)? Maybe I'm different from most here, in that I have young kids so it's both attractive to avoid the whole trip to the theater and economically not a huge difference in cost. The real potential I see in this is for movie pa...

It's becoming increasingly common, both teleprompter and paper.

To which the crew guy answered, "Uh, gee, ...
