My understanding is, when Hulk Hogan bodyslammed Gawker and everything went up on the chopping block, io9 was folded into Gizmodo as a way to preserve it. It was on its way to being 86'd.

The Kinja-verse is fascinating in its unfailing ability to continually find new ways to suck and completely ruin shit that didn’t need fixing.

Turn your crank to Frank! 

Exactly! If I‘m eating at the WholeGrain Veggie Tofu Hut twice a day, I am probably going to be just fine. But if both my meals come from Greasy Mike’s Fried Lard Emporium, that’s another story entirely.

This dynamic comes into play with almost every tin-foiled Big Bad trying to kill or control you. The agents involved are always somehow Victor Von Doom and Elmer Fudd simultaneously.

Just the name, “Heidis Pies”, like “Twin Peaks”, incredibly evocative. 

Don’t get me started. I am a hefty bag full of lard at this point. I am evolving into what I believe is some kind of flabby barrel. 

Watching this again I’d definitely be Iggy to your Tom Waits.

Yes! That segment is the only reason to watch Creepshow 2. Deke is a character that lords over my adolescence. Phantasmagoria as it relates to my youth is a big thing for me. And hey, if we could just be in a booth adjacent to these people we’d be doing alright. 

God knows what the general public does anymore. It’s all Greek to me. 

This is all just me being disingenuous. Except in the serious way I realize I am so suggestible to the way popular opinion turns. 

One day we will revisit this movie as the masterpiece it is...YOU’LL SEE!!! 

I remember taking a girl out on a date and watching The Watchmen in a theatre somewhere in Prescott, Arizona. She was not impressed and I remember feeling a deep sense of shame that I had wasted her evening. 

I love when people make me work for the answer. 

And yet you live in a world where Lawnmower Man exists.

In the straightest way, it is the best Stephen King story adapted to film. But come on...

Further, further perspective: I will watch this thing soon and I might even like it. 

*Art is entirely subjective. But The Shining is an amazing film and you are embarrassing yourself in your wrongness.

Perspective: The Snyder Cut currently holds a higher IMDB rating than The Shining. And this is why Trump was elected as president.
