For five gotdamn dollars?! If I stay at a hotel that advertises free breakfast, and I go down in the morning and all that's left are some of those plastic bowls of cereal and some free milk, I'll turn around and leave like I've just experienced a first-world problem.

I really liked The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.

I'm in the US. A few years ago, during my single days, I chatted on another message board frequently. Two women stand out to me. Both college aged, both very attractive. One was a hostess at a high-end restaurant, the other modeled clothes and shoes for a local skateboard company.

Here's where things got interesting. Both eventually admitted to me that they had accepted "gifts" for their company. When I asked "How much?" they both refused to say and asked how much I would gift them for their time. I told both "$300," and they both seemed happy with the amount and invited me to visit them. No, I never went through with it.

(Edited to clarify: I don't think they knew each other, and these conversations were one-on-one.)

You know, I just realized that's basically the premise of Us.

Well, it's got a soft shell, a narrow head, and only mates once every 20 years (e.g. me in college). Me in college was not exactly anyone's model for the successful propagation of the species.
