It's too bad Glenn and Amy are giving legendary hamful performances for something adapted from one of the worst books I've ever read.

That book was such a trip. Like he lays out the whole groundwork for how a lack of social programs and government assistance doomed generations of people and then ends it on, "Anyway pull up your bootstraps and maybe join the army! Nothing's free in life!"

Sir, what.

[squirrels_oh_no]

But he's not a fucking hillbilly he's from Ohio and spends half the book talking shitabout poor Appalachians like they're idiots. This book was conservative bullshit.

shout out to all the farm boys living five minutes from a Whole Foods in suburban Columbus

[ilovebeaarthur]

I live in Columbus, and the hilarious part about this is the area where the Whole Foods is that it used to be farm ages ago LOL

it's waaaay too polished. this is the kind of material that only an indie movie can really pull off (like Winter's Bone).

mte they don’t even look that poor? that neighborhood looks fine to me

[warwarwar]

Seriously. It looks like a normal middle class street in most towns in the US.
