Hopkin’s performance is so terrible it’s just embarrassing. He did not get the character at all, which is perfectly representative of his terrible career of solipsistic scenery chewing.

Zodiac, a masterpiece. Interesting discussion. I dunno what’s more terrifying, though, the fact that the Lake Berryessa event is real, or that Fincher shot it on the exact spot it happened.

I think the major mistake the population makes about murder/ serial murder is that it’s a phenomenon…

  I’m sorry, can you please elaborate? Phenomenon as something rather rare?

“I now encounter overkill and mutilation all the time” – people never think about the fact that all this goes on right under our noses as we live our normal lives. Creepy

  Had the same thought. There are only so many famous serial killers so it seems like a rather rare thing. It’s not.

So if you’re not an “alpha” male you’re a “loser”? This seemed like something random you’d read on Twitter. Odd phrasing.

The professor is trying too hard. He’s a much more intersting subject than the poorly analyzed serial killers.

I love this guy! I also really like the emphasis he puts on how much of a loser these people are. They are not special people and there is far to big of a worship culture around them. I totally agree with his end statement, super interesting!

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
