If you haven't seen/read this, please do. It's where a large portion of our population is today. Breathtaking.

1. I agree

2. Reminded me of Corbin, Ky.

I spent an hour there once and it felt like a month. What a depressing area!

7. My freshman year of college was 7 miles away in Barbourville, KY.

Corbin. Wow.

10. Union College?

I know it well.

14. The last time I played football was for the bulldogs.

Blew my knee out during homecoming and had a new girlfriend by the end of the dance. 1993. Kentucky was absolutely beautiful. I had not expected that for whatever reason. Unfortunately, my new england upbringing made the culture shock overwhelming and I did not return after my freshman year.

8. There are many places like the area filmed.

And Corbin. I pretty much live in one.

11. Corbin - not only the home of Colonel Sanders and the first Ky Fried Chicken -

but was known as one of the most racist towns in America. For many years, until fairly recently, no blacks were allowed to live in Corbin. There were racist signs at the edge of town.

3. My dear Tyler Durden...

Is it a movie? Ah, wait, I think it is.

Yeah, I do want to see it.

Thanks for the reminder, sweetie!

:hi:

5. Both a book and a movie.

The book is even more disturbing than the movie but both have an intrinsic underlying hope. I think we'll hear more about this movie come Oscar time.

4. Excellent Flick

This is what the Haves and Have Mores will never fuckin understand and oh how I wish we could make them live this for a while. My dream of hell for Bush Cheney et al is living just like this forever.

6. Actually, they would be blessed if they could.

Taking into account the family and neighbor dynamics.

9. Just a kick to give this film a tad more exposure.

12. Well hell

13. Aw hell. Let's just go bowling.
