Flashback two years ago at a smaller convention. Panel was about Welcome to Nightvale. At this point it was somewhere in the 70s in episodes. Two girls in the front were very insistent that we not discuss spoilers for anything past episode 10, where they were at as they just discovered the podcast. I’m glad they did

I read the comics up to about 112 or so. I quit the show after the town after Terminus. By then the show was wash, rinse, repeat and I had no more cares to give. Show up somewhere; don’t trust the people, start to, someone does something stupid and/or the people are awful, zombies eat most everyone, hit the woods

Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel states this - both Seperatists and Republic had the initial plans after Geonosis. I think I recall elsewhere that the Death Star II was well under the construction as the Death Star I was nearing completion - I think the comics. I can’t recall if it’s implied or directly stated, but the

As a manager for Regal, we’ve been told many times by upper management (district level) to enforce our costume code which is essentially: no weapons, masks or facepaint. I can understand no blasters, but I’m disappointed that Lightsabers are included in our policy of weapons.

It’s a very brief bit of it, not the full plot. He talks of it when saying they had weird feelings in that particular park. That portion is maybe two or three pages at best. The majority of the book is positive and affirming.

I’ve only been to Chicago once and stayed at the Congress Plaza Hotel for the 2014 Rocky Horror Con. Place was loaded. As we entered our room there was a clear “Hi!” that we never heard again. This hotel has a the “nailed shut never open room “ 1408 is based on but I didn’t do anything with it. But, continual

Have you read Bill Bryson’s A WALK IN THE WOODS (adapted to a dull movie last year)? He and his hiking partner were in the Shenendoah National Forest on their hike through the Appalachian Trail about a week off from the serial killer who killed two women when he came through.

Now playing

World’s best author Neil Gaiman has a short story (one of best actually) relating a similar situation that he based on something he saw. (I’m not saying your story is fiction, I believe it, just that there is a fiction story of the same subject). It’s in SMOKE AND MIRROR short fiction collection but here’s a 20 minute

It reminds me of the summer camp I worked at. Very haunted; but in particular was a little girl in a white dress (of course, right?) we called Rosemary. When you come to work for the first time, the others won’t tell you about her. I did ask if there were any known ghosts however and was told “you’ll see. We don’t

“so we had a pretty good idea who kept leaving rhinestones everywhere” My friend Brian’s grandmother (see another post on this page) used to leave groups of bobbypins throughout his house. They were moving out of the house and it fully empty. I saw it. I was helping. Brian and I came back a week later to get a phone

not sure where this response will end up so I quote what I’m replying to “There was a spot outside the dorms in my college where someone jumped and committed suicide and the grass just wouldn’t grow where he fell” In my first college dorm I kept getting really weird feelings at the top of the main stairway. Kept

Going to reply to this and other replies in this thread with a few stories of me and friends.

A few years ago while watching Jedi, it hit me hard in the droid assignment/torture room. Wherein, it hit that droids - inorganic creatures - feel PAIN. What horrible person decided that droids should feel pain? That is not something that could come naturally in a droid’s design. It has to be a direct thought to be

I’ll add in a concept CGP Grey doesn’t bring in (which is fine, knowing him there may be a second part or he’ll talk about it on Hello Internet): filling the lane. I’ve seen it everywhere but nowhere as bad as up here in Seattle. Look, people, it’s simple: If you cannot go all the way across the intersection, do. not.

Saw this flick at SIFF2016 where it earned the Grand Jury prize and the Youth Jury award. Absolutely deserved, even it was my #3 for the festival (only Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Brand New Testament won out for me) There is a huge influence from Wes Anderson, and it’s worn on the films sleeve (along with the other

The problem with DCCU hasn’t been the casting and the characters but the messes of movies around them. Barely comprehensible plots and motivations all in a grey haze.

All of these items have been discussed continually with my friends since they came out, and I’ll add another

Same for me. Felt like such an idiot. I think it’s because we’re reading it and not hearing it. I’m sure if I listened to the audio book or soon in the show it’ll be be more obvious. but then again... if you’ve seen Angel Heart... There’s a twist I didn’t catch and felt like a complete moron.

I always pictured Charles Dance. Until Ian McShane was cast, then I saw how perfect that casting is.

I also saw it at SIFF (shoreline last Tuesday). Agreed on your thoughts. It’s very funny, but it seems like there is something missing that doesn’t make it quite gel. There is a slightness to it.
