I never understood even as a kid how it was so popular with people, it always felt like it was made for people with a completely different thought pattern than mine Yeah it was one of those "alternate reality kid" things. Like having Sega instead of Nintendo and watching the Disney channel instead of Nick. Their moms would probably come out with weird snacks like fluffernutters or something, too. loving weirdos...

Vince Vaughn is not funny. I know ostensibly he is a comedic actor but if you ever watch one of his films and think to yourself "that was pretty funny" the movie was funny in spite of him not because of him

One of my friends was drinking at a bar and I guess Vince Vaughn came in. My friend went up to him and said that he enjoyed his movies and Vince said thanks and was pretty cool about just some random guy coming up and talking to him. Later that night my buddy was flirting with some girl at the bar and Vince came up to both of them and smacked my buddy on the shoulder and said, "Watch out for this guy! He's trouble! I'll catch up with you later man!" and walked out. He gave my buddy one of the coolest ins with a girl I've ever heard about. No idea if it's true, but he's told that story tons of times and it's never changed. It also didn't work and he didn't take the girl home.

A variation on this is to roll backwards onto your shoulders to pull the pants up (legs in air, obviously) then swiftly roll forward to power off the bed.

Even in movies like that where he's supposed to be funny he always strikes me like he's in a bad mood. Like instead of his jokes coming off as light-hearted they just seem mean spirited. Anyway, I would argue that any good work he has done was completely invalidated by Couple's Retreat. That thing rivaled even some of Adam Sandler's absolute worst and I don't say that lightly.

If Vince Vaughn thinks someone's trouble they must be a bad dude. Girl did the right thing.

Stuart Little was the only book I remember really hating as a kid and it was because of its bullshit ending. I loved the entire book but it ends with him looking for his bird friend and never finding him but it says some dumb thing about him "feeling like he was on the right path" Was it supposed to be a loving lord of the rings trilogy or something what the hell is that?? I'm still pissed about it thinking back to when I was like 9 or 10. I only read it once and I was so pissed off its somehow a thing I'm still mad about

He comes off as a miserable douchebag in every movie but with no humor to make him even remotely likeable. Is he really even in anything anymore though? I thought he over saturated himself in the 2000s to the point where he just stopped getting roles

Stuart Little is absolute horse poo poo of a book. However, did you know the author, E.B. White, is the White from "Strunk & White's Elements of Style"?

I think its weird and wrong for a man to have never been married and/or had kids, or even to be single. I think its okay for women and if I meet an older woman who never married, never had kids, I'm like "Whoa, cool". But if I ever see an older man (40+) who never got married or had kids and has been a bachelor his whole life, I'm like "What's wrong with you?" It's also weird for guys to live alone but not for women. I don't know why.

However, he later recovered but never wrote any sequels.
