Of course people were uncomfortable!  Expecting anything otherwise is not only UNreasonable, it is flat-out insane.
And anybody in their right mind would expect your sister to be anything BUT "comfortable"!   

I'm sorry, A.J., I know my ranting is not helping at all.   The circumstances you have to deal with are horrendous.

I always liked the parts in BOGGY CREEK 2 when Pearl tries to build a Bigfoot-esque mythos around Bobo to draw in tourists.

Expecially when the rube kid at the end sees Bobo:
"Hey he's just a talking gorilla. What's the big deal about a talking gorilla? You're a bad lady! You tried to trick my mommy! (Kicks Pearl in the shin.) And you're a dumb legend!"
Bobo: "Yeah, well so are you kid! Heh heh, I really stuck it to that lil' brat."

And man, did this movie ever have one of the least threatening main bad guys ever.  The eldest son of the house, is one of these villians that mainly speaks in whispers, then when he tries to be loud it sounded like his voice was cracking.  I was laughing at him. 

You mean the villain played by OSCAR-WINNER EDDIE REDMAYNE? I can't wait until the BR/DVD comes out and they can slap that statement across it 
I'm on the fence about watching this one. The trailers looked so so stupid but I generally like the Wachowskis (MATRIX sequels aside).

Isn't Saving Christmas more of a 'yay let's celebrate shallow commercialism' rather than the usual 'hey this Holiday is way too commericialized!'

Sort of. The intended message, I think, is "You can find the sacred in anything if you try" which isn't so bad. But as it plays out it's just Kirk berating his brother-in-law for having a "Christmas shouldn't be so commercial" attitude and slapping bizarre and mostly inaccurate symbolism onto everything associated with the holidays. It stoops to levels that would make Tommy Wiseau blush.

Not a Pacino fan in any movie he's done, find him one of the hammiest actors. Too long and pointless subplots that go on forever.  Goodfellas and Casino are 2 of my all time fav movies, Heat just falls flat for me. It seems more like one massive long tv cop show episode than a movie.  I have friends who love it but I can't get into it

See I found CASINO really self-indulgent, although I didn't hate it. How much a person likes HEAT does hinge quite a bit on how high their tolerance levels for Pacino are, so I can see your point there.

Also, they aren't bad but Kids, Thirteen, and Do The Right Thing are really just glorified exploitation movies. Snobsploitation I call it, when critics love movies like that

Never saw KIDS, and barely remember THIRTEEN, but I agree with you on DO THE RIGHT THING. It's certainly not CRASH-level bad or anything but it really felt like Lee was patting himself on the back just for pointing out that race issues exist, and he didn't present any possible solutions or even open up much of a dialogue. And it really didn't help that he cast himself in the lead.

Was goofing around and made this captioned video -Hitler's reaction to Jason Goes to Hell:

A message to the mumbers of the Academy:

I would've happily gone to see WHIPLASH, BIRDMAN, GRAND BUDAPEST  and CITIZENFOUR in the theater  if ANY THEATER IN A 200 MILE RADIUS HAD PICKED THEM UP!!! 

We all had a conversation over Skip-Bo after he left.

He was tolerable on a social level but I could tell people were uncomfortable. I told Mom that I still hate him and she understands.

My sister was especially uncomfortable.

Mom told me afterwards that Chris said to her that he understood that I don't want to deal with him so he avoided me because he didn't want to invade my space.

It doesn't matter. I want nothing to do with him. No amount of time can heal those wounds.

You don't get to rape my sister and be my friend.

AN AMERICAN HIPPIE IN ISRAEL (1972): Pursued by machine-gun toting mimes (!), an American hippie goes to Israel and founds a small commune on an island. This painful oddity is not the lost cult classic it's marketed as; too many hippies, not enough mimes. 2/5.

IMO there are ways to abdicate from the human race.  Rape and child abuse foremost among them.

The absolute best I can do toward a 'person' who has commited either is to dismiss them as failed humans: as refuse.  Our behaviour towards others makes us 'human', not our biology.  Just because you are walking around in human shape does not make you a 'person' who is entitled to the considerations one gives a human being.  Legally, yes.  Otherwise - forget it.  I'd give more consideration to the barnyard dirt I scrape off my boots.
