Hell yeah. Plus it has Tom Atkins!

My wife was recently finishing a watch-through of Leverage and Gregg Henry was in one of the last episodes. That man can do wonders with any role.

One of the best and most underrated horror-comedies.

Just want to emphasize that Night of the Creeps is definitely “Watch This” worthy itself.

When he was announced for Guardians of the Galaxy the first thing I thought was, “Wait, the SLITHER guy? Cool!”

The bit when he argues with Fillion about “Martians” is fucking hilarious.
“Look it up, COCKSUCKER!” 

Kinda shameful that there’s no mention of Gregg Henry as Mayor MacReady. Every moment he’s on screen is hysterical, from him cursing someone out only to find a woman and her child next to him to his late-movie freakout (“And now, there’s no goddamn fuckin’ Mr. Pibb!”) to his sendoff when he’s taken over (“Kill me—”

But this is a CAPITALIST death panel so Jesus approves.

I think the thing people are missing is if (well, I guess, when) the healthcare system is overwhelmed EVERYONE dies. That kid having an anaphylactic reaction? Dead. That 20-something having an asthma attack? Dead. Pretty much anyone with cancer? Dead.

I like Scalzi’s response

Literally the fucking people who were fearmongering over “socialist death panels” for seniors within extremely recent memory.

Right?!?! We are shutting down abortion clinics to keep everyone safe, but fuck actual people who are actually alive right now.

My guess is, in reality, Dan Patrick would be about the last person to make the ultimate sacrifice for any reason. Rightists always talk a good game when others have to pay the price.
