Yes!!! The IQC is back!! I thought for a minute there was going to be a rumble! Crazy they were that belligerent.

Thanks for reading, Justin! I had originally had the last two words as "...with fisticuffs" but I cut it. I'm glad the word "rumble" appeared here, ha!

I still need to read yours about Sturgill Simpson! He has an alter ego?

Yeah … I guess? He just seemed like Sturgill Simpson kicking ass for 3 hours to me!

Thanks for the review. I read the book when if first came out and loved it. I plan to see the movie. But hope for a better in-theater experience!

Thanks for reading (and commenting), Suzanna! I am often the "book before movie" audience member type, but have not read this one yet! I hope the same for you, as well. :) If you do have to shush anyone, be smarter than me and make sure they can't ID you out in the light! ;)

Very vivid! And to me, funny -- because I didn't have to live through it! Small favors, at least they weren't vaping. :-/

Minor item, "stal unscrupulously" = "stall inconspicuously" ?

HAHA! (Wait...I'm not really LOL-ing out loud) But I weirdly had a similar experience when I saw Nightbitch in the theater! Whisper-shout comments from people around me. Apparently this film elicits strong reactions.
