Jesus Christ.
You know that scene in Aliens? Where Ripley, despite being able to escape in safety, risks everything to go back in the alien's den, battling countless alien warriors and have a smackdown with the queen, all to save a young girl?
You know those distraught parents you see on the news, whose child has been kidnapped, and they're putting up signs all over the state, going on TV, putting the face on milk cartons, hiring private detectives, and basically doing anything and everything in their power to get their child back?
You know how in Kill Bill, the Bride will let nothing stand in her way in order to get back to Bill and slaughter him and everyone else in her way?
You know how in Pulp Fiction, Bruce Willis puts himself in mortal danger and is nearly killed because he has to go back to get a watch that was the final gift from his dead father?
You remember all those?
The amount that Ripley cared about saving Newt... the amount that the parents care about getting their child back... the effort that the bride will put out to get revenge... the desire that Willis has to get back his beloved watch...
Put them all together, and you get about half of the heartbreak that Jonsey apparently feels that Pinback isn't posting much any more.
Yeesh. Are you people so desperate for content that you can only post about how someone left? I should hope that you're all better than that.
Well, most of you, at least.
Get over it.
Jesus Christ.
