I think the point here is that she could have mentioned some not-so-nice things about my country if she’d tried. It still would have been a stupid response, but at least it would have been an on-point stupid response.

“Jim Carrey is feuding with the granddaughter of Benito Mussolini on Twitter” sounds like the title of a performance piece.

Clearly, it’s the latest thing 

I probably shouldn’t have read the responses to that Twitter link, but I did.

Murder and elaborate extortion plots, sure.

It’s such a strange term, since, anytime you condemn someone for “virtue signaling” you are, by definition, “virtue signaling.”

Sheesh, you’d almost think he didn’t earn his way into Penn.

Another good spoof would be the Looney Tunes version:

That’s clearly false.

Yes, though, as someone said in another post, the song was already really creepy.

Speaking of TV, the “Home” episode of The X-Files made incredibly creepy use of “Wonderful! Wonderful!” by Johnny Mathis. “Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea / And we breathe in the cool salty air...”

But I’ve been hearing so much about “witch hunts” from this one guy on Twitter lately. He’s not very coherent, but he seems to have a lot of followers, and some of them are into pretty scary stuff, so maybe this could work.

Thanks! As I said later in the thread (where I should have thought before I posted), I only know a much later version of the region. I wasn’t thinking about how much things have changed everywhere, which was kind of dumb of me.

Agree with the explanation being the weak point. Better to have the audience wonder where the shadow people come from than wonder how the explanation half-offered can make any logical sense. I’m okay with the obvious final twist. I saw it as something to ponder from early on—which one is she and how might it matter?

Pretty much nothing changes the minds of committed conspiracy theorists. I do not want to think about the degree to which those tinfoil hats must be agitating their rectums .

Good point. I’m from east, so I only know greater Vancouver from post-1990.

Haunting that rendition is, though Langley, BC is a moderately-sized suburb attached to one of the more heavily-populated regions of Canada. I’m not certain how many of these kids count as being specifically rural (even in the 70s) though she may well have been.

So, you didn’t see the movie, then?

Get Out is a better-structured and more impressive work of cinema. I found Us more enjoyable, in the way that horror movies are enjoyable.

You want a twist?
