Space and time are supposedly essentially the same thing, so it is. Space expanding is what caused the Big Bang; no space can be said to have existed prior to the Big Bang. Perhaps the inherent potential for space is what triggered the expansion in the first place.
However, what we perceive as time is just a reconfiguration of matter. The events if the past have no material representation aside from that information recorded in the predent; those past events are not real things, in the sense of being things. Our subjective present-- where we collapse probability via observation-- exists about 80 milliseconds retroactive from the objective present, the latter being concurrent with the singularity beyond Planck frequency at the high-frequency termination point of the electromagnetic spectrum, and that from which the Big Bang originates. The original of the universe is a fraction of a second in our future, not billions of years in the past. Only a latent attotechnological observer operating very near the singularity can account for the requisite observer-- as per wave-particle duality-- in the first moments "after" the Big Bang atlnd at the fundamental scale of our apparent material environment.

Maybe all that suffering is rubbing off on them.

Yeah, the 90's would be a great time to see them, for sure. Especially on shrooms.

I was up in the seats, so that was kind of a bummer. And the floor was all seats; not really how I'd prefer to see a band like Tool.

I saw them play in 2013 for like 60 bucks.

Reply to Is Manhunter worth watching by DarthJaxxon
>but it didn't get much attention when it was first realesed leading to there not being any sequels
Well, the Silence of the Lambs was the sequel to the book Red Dragon, which Manhunter is an adaptation of. Would there have been a stand-alone Silence of the Lambs if Manhunter hadn't been made? I don't know, but usually a film adaptation of the first book in a series is made first; since Manhunter was already made, there was no sense in doing Red Dragon again at that time.
As everybody else said, it is very good, though not quite as true to the source material as the Red Dragon movie years later. I can't say I prefer one over the other, although Manhunter is a very unique film with a peculiar atmosphere, where Red Dragon is very much in the Hopkins-as-Lecter universe.
