Susan Dey wants to know…
Are we any closer to a remake of 'Looker'?

On the issue of carpet vis-a-vis drapes, it is my inderstanding that they are the same set that came with the room, but I don't remember where I came by that information. Perhaps her realtor.

He should have asked where Simon keeps Edie locked up, though.

I wouldn't go as far as the original post and part of the reason why is because Paul Simon's early writing career is so very transparent. I don't think he really came into his own until he gave up trying to be a serious poet (and emulator of Dylan) and accepted the mantle of songwriter. That didn't really happen fully

No doubt—One does not think of 70's era South Africa as the kind of place that would have a lot of positive Black role models. That alone makes it interesting.

I do not see it
But Amy Adams as Tonya Harding? It's the role she was born to play:

I doubt anyone's still reading—but here goes:

I mentioned it above
But I'm less interested in these large scale tactical war games than I am open world/sandbox games, and that is especially true of one set in Japan. I would totally be the target audience for a 'Red Dead Redemption' style game set in the Edo period and I'm aware of the 'Way of the Samurai 3' game,

'Twilight Samurai' is a pretty good film set in the years just before the Meiji Restoration.

The problem with Japanese Pop culture and Japanese history is the same as Pop history anywhere, only moreso if you are from the West and don't know much about it. The two periods that get the most coverage are Sengoku and Tokugawa because they are comparable to the Medieval and Rennaissance eras in Europe. Actually

That reminds me of the old and ill-advised debate about whose genocide is worse, often involving the Middle Passage and the Holocaust—Both are horrifying. Both are examples of the ways in which the dehumanization of others allows for dehumanization of the self expressed through acts of inhumanity. The reason why The

I should have known I couldn't put out the cat without bringing in the dog. I was treating Schrodinger's cat merely as an example of the type of logic that proceeds from unknowable facts with dire implications—I withdraw it.

Miss Kubelik—That guy was one of the best Martin Short characters ever and so few people remember him, thanks for that.

"you're damn right"

There is a bit of a difference, logoboros, in that the so-called Boomers as a statistical demographic (with the attendant distributed variation) did more or less define the national discourse for the last 50 plus years, and did so largely by virtue of going through routine natural life processes en masse as if they

Thanks—I've already done 'Undead Nightmare' but I'll look into the others.

Rcommendations?
A good 'Hellraiser' game would be interesting considering how influential its Cenobite aesthetic seems to have been on Horror games generally. But it's a relatively cerebral, slow moving kind of Horror—could that translate?

Some of the stranger films I remember first encountering as parodies in old Mad Magazines: 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', 'The Shining', 'Being There', 'Little Darlings'.

Anyone want to take on 'TV dinners'…On second thought, don't please.

You know who else is Gay—Murray Slaughter on 'Mary Tyler Moore'. Sure he had a wife and family on the show, but if you "read" him as Gay it all makes more sense.
