If it had been Wal-Mart, they’d have been doomed. :)

Mangos work nicely, as well...

My all-time-favorite iced tea recipe. Addictive as sin . . .

Gaaah. West Virginia in a “holler” at night. My grandfather had to pick up soemthing from a customer down there (and probably grabbed a friendly drink or two), so he left me and my cousin in the truck. The only light was on the guy’s house a good hundred feet away—no street lights, nothing. For thirty increasingly…

Ehehehe. Guillermo del Toro stores his huge movie memorabillia collection in a separate house in LA. IIRC, he’s got comforting items like Mother Bates’ corpse and the original full-size Alien mechanical figure. His family refuses to sleep there, for some odd reason. ;)

Oh, man, GET OUT’s director’s next movie is LOVECRAFT COUNTRY,based on a terrific horror novel about a black family searching for a vanished father in 1950's America. Can’t wait!

Hee. I first saw TC in an huge, oddly-unpopular theater in a lonely strip mall. Swear to God there was only one other person there (sitting way in the back) on a summer Saturday at noon. The theater had just gotten outfitted for Dolby, which I had never experienced. And that place was ice-cold with drafts. So between…

You’re welcome! TC is online?!? Thank you!!! ATB launched Finn—and has one of my favorite lines of dialogue. “This is too much madness for one text!”

I take it you will _not_ be the one to clean their house out if (God forbid) something happens to them. :)

And for olde-schoole scares, try THE CHANGELING, from 1979. So many flicks have ripped this off, and it takes time to build, but it still packs a punch.

It suffers majorly from the “people separate/get unaccountably stupid when they see loved ones that are millions of miles away on a creepy ship” syndrome. But it looks terrific and really works your nerves.

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is da good stuff. And What We Do In the Shadows is a terrific horror satire. And for a change of pace, Attack The Block is nifty action-horror-social satire.

Yep. To many older black men, accusations against Cosby are an attack on a hero they grew up with—and flashbacks to the vicious (unjust) scrutiny they endured.

Yep, that insufferable self-righteous complacency really started getting obvious about three seasons in.

Yep. I don’t think many black elders will ever believe he is guilty. My mother dotes on “The Cosby Show” because it’s the kind of idealized black family she always wanted to see on TV. No matter what proofs stack up against Cosby (or how I keep pointing out that rape is the rapist’s fault) she regularly victim-blames.…

Ehehehehe. A friend observed that he’s been sick of “98% Tom Cruise movies” for a while now.

Honestly, this needed someone like Alice Krige in GHOST STORY—someone alluring but disturbingly not-quite-right—an inhuman being’s idea of human female perfection.

God, I have never pre-emptively hated a franchise idea as much as this Dark Universe crap. There. Is. No. Reason. For. Any. Of. These. Reboots. To. Exist.

When period music is essentially the show’s subject, it makes sense to use the original versions. Nothing wrecks suspension of belief faster than soundalike cover versions.
