This novel may require a warning label because the pages are abrasive and embedded with conversations that were never intended for female ears. Uncle Glenn is left with a choice: quit his friends or challenge his friends to be Infallible - to commit to one woman. Infallible is all laughs and giggles until Diana discovers her husband is hanging out with five cheating, lying, creeping, baby-making, narcissistic assholes-that's when she tears her husband a new asshole. Oh, and did I mention the weed? Oh my God, the weed! Uncle Glenn loves their company, even though he's happily married and faithful to his wife, Diana. Once Uncle Glenn's wife departs for her regular Thursday night shift, the crew arrives to smoke the most potent weed in New Orleans, roast each other into knee-slapping laughter, and swap strategies of how to cheat and not get caught. This weekly event is hosted and narrated by an older guy they refer to as Uncle Glenn - the sixth member of the Madden Night crew. Infallible is about five gamers in their late thirties who come together every Thursday night for a John Madden Football tournament. "Here's the challenge: if any of you in this room can quit your mistress and remain faithful to one woman for one year, you will earn your share of two million dollars." Sounds easy enough, right?Īllow me to introduce Jarvis, Biyell, Rasta, Timothy, and Telly - five men who share one major flaw: an appetite for mistresses. The attack on civil liberties, including the right to privacy, continues long after its “global war on terror” justifications have faded away. The 21st century has seen the rise of hideous economic inequality, perhaps due to amnesia both of the working people who countenance declines in wages, working conditions and social services, and the elites who forgot that they conceded to some of these things in the hope of avoiding revolution. Full engagement requires the ability to perceive both. This is an extraordinary time full of vital, transformative movements that could not be foreseen. And the changes we have undergone, both wonderful and terrible, are astonishing. Popular power has continued to be a profound force for change. Progressive, populist and grassroots constituencies have had many victories. Coming back to the text more than a dozen tumultuous years later, I believe its premises hold up. Kyliegh Curran as Abra is just a great actress love her interactions with the True Knot, specifically Rebecca Ferguson and then her relationship with Danny is just really great. I love everything from seeing the flashbacks that recreated iconic scenes and also gave us a little insight to what happened after the Overlook, the True Knot were great antagonist who I thought were all acted very well, but the real standouts for me was Abra and Danny they are what the movie really rely on working and damn do they. But, I was thoroughly entertained and felt the DNA of the Shinning running throughout this movie. I decided to skip this in theaters because I was hearing mixed reviews and once I heard Shinning sequel I thought cash grab.
