The necklace and the cost was Joan digging back at FOX, too. $100,000 was what they were suing her for.

Way more dignified. Joan had Trog, Bette had parts in Disney films. Joan works for fame above all else and it's not fulfilling because fame is fleeting. Bette likes the work.

Yeah. Especially season 2 where a character even calls out that behavior.

I read the scene differently. Bette wanted to speak for them creatively, Joan agreed, and when she starts talking turkey with Bob, Joan has to pipe up with a pendantic nothing of a comment to feel like she's a part of it and Bette just can't at the moment. The conversation was a tiny version of the "Bob pitches them…

Or The African Queen. Even Sam Spade and Rick Blaine are very different.

With the cherry on top of that sundae being 2003's The Haunted Mansion.

Kevin Dunn was J. Edgar in Chaplin.

Per Stephen King's Danse Macabre: Terror—Dread that stays with you after the story, Horror—Scary in the moment, The Gross Out—immediate, visceral revulsion.

I think that narrows the game and makes it shallower. Much of Red Dead is circular (all the way down to the overall story missions: the big battle of the early part involves a Gatling gun on a wagon, the big battle towards the end involves a Maxim on a motorcar) but nearly all of it has to do with the inherent…

Tom telling Caspar that the Dane has (per the script), "A wart. On his fanny. Giving him the fidgets," isn't subtle at all. Neither is much of the conversation around Bernie. Hell, even Tom has gay indicators. I'd imagine that much of the obliviousness is a majority seeing everything, especially in this genre,…

Do you not remember how Saul Goodman dressed? That's perfectly acceptable for sleazy lawyer garb and gives a +2 to bullshitting.

Think those are shirts, not suits.

That part's supposed to jolt the audience. A "See, the cavalry are a bunch of jerks and they won't be coming to the rescue!" moment.

Didn't say he wasn't, but okay.

It’s this season’s version of a bottle marked with fanciful lettering spelling out “Heroin.”

A conservative dating app? Did Grindr shut down?

Like the UFO drawing that Molly made, everything’s askew and refuses to be easily reconciled.

Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (w/ Lee and Cushing and a young Donald Sutherland, etc.)
The House that Dripped Blood (again w/ Lee and Cushing and Pertwee, etc.)
Twice Told Tales (w/ Price)
Tales of Terror (w/ Price, Lorre, Rathbone, etc.)
From Beyond the Grave (with Cushing, Warner, Pleasance, etc.)
