The whole movie, everybody's sweating buckets. I mean I know they're backwards down in the South, but being anti-A/C? WTF?
(And yes, I'm sure it was the director just going for an effect to increase tension, but it was pretty stupid, if you ask me.)
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
My grandma lived in Alabama all her life. Even during the summer she would keep the AC set at 85 degrees.

I take offense at the "backwards" jab, but I was watching this movie a few days ago and I couldn't get past all the sweating. It was ridiculous. I can see some homes that keep their thermostats up, my mom doesn't turn on the AC unless company is coming over, but a restaurant would not have any business if it has no AC and for sure the court house would not be that hot. Bad call by the producer/director to film it that way.
Spinning... because knitting isn't weird enough.
It was really distracting. Ok, I got it, it's hot.
shareWhy, shucks, ya'll, we just done got ourselves indoor outhouses last year.
Yeah, lord knows it gets hot; but even so, I do not see as many people as sweaty as these in this one movie in an entire summer. And for a week or 2 this summer, it was hotter up north while I was visiting than it was down here.
Saying we're "backwards down in the south" is a pretty huge and inaccurate generalization there, bub.
If I can't smoke and swear I'm *beep*
I was just reiterating the prevailing stereotype that the movie itself was making. Having the KKK marching in the street is hardly progressive.

People don't realize it, but equally as important a job as cooling is dehumidifying for an A/C unit. In fact, some types of A/C only dehumidify. Being so humid there, I can imagine A/C not working nearly as well as in drier hot climates. Especially in a civic building where they tend to have outdated and/or dilapidated facilities.
shareThe story takes place in 1985.
shareYou have that stupid line from The Vapors song as your signature, and you call us backwards in the south? Still though, I get what you're saying, even if you're a moron. It is kinda silly that they would be sweating like that.
shareFrom someone as sage as you, being called a moron is high praise. High praise indeed.
Now go "turn Japanese" like you know you want to.
