It’s called understatement. People use it as a rhetorical device sometimes.

Either. Just being generally unpredictable. If you know exactly when and exactly how the story is going to progress, that’s not scary. Horror requires the storyteller to hide at least one of those things from the audience.

To be fair, Cthulhu doesn’t die, just gets knocked out in the story. Even then, death to a lovecraft deity isn’t as final as it is for humans. Strange Aeons and all that.

It’s the curse of all horror franchises. There’s a reason why the long running franchises wind up almost turning into parodies of themselves. Lovecraft is especially prone to this, because the whole point of Lovecraft is being forced to confront something you can’t predict. If something is sold to you under the…

So the “surprising discoveries” the study made are:

As far as I’m concerned, the deconstruction/reconstruction/ironic love of/post-ironic love/un-ironic love of of All Star began, peaked, and ended with Neil Cicierega’s “Mouth Sounds.”

He’s “edgy” and “disruptive” but not enough to actually offend the people he’s supposedly critiquing. So he became the safest artist millionaires can buy from to show that they “get it” and understand what it’s like “on the streets.”

To be fair, it wouldn’t be hard to scare yourself more than the Babadook would scare you.

I tried it just yesterday after having heard about it for years and figuring I should finally see it. Fell asleep, watching it at like 2 pm. Both of the main characters’ scripts were like 60% “shriek at top of lungs” and I still was literally bored to sleep. Was able to get through it on the second attempt, and wish…

You know exactly which end.

So, basically, to make your rum and coke better, do the exact same thing you normally do, but use better ingredients.

Yeah, based on the trailer, I was expecting the final rating to land somewhere in the “V-/W+” range.

So it’ll basically be the same as the original movie, but less charming and more design-by-committee?

Unless you’re currently using Gumys, I dunno if buying Beats really counts as “upgrading.”

Don’t really care, just a slow day at work, and I find it a little annoying when people try to call the opposite party out on the same behavior they’re engaged in. Your post was just a particularly egregious example of “I shouldn’t be expected to read the posts I’m disagreeing with.”

No one said anything about looking at post history, I didn’t need to read their post history to put together that someone whose name is, again “Reposted Daily Mail Comments” and ends their comment by citing a username and stating the comment is from two days prior to their posting, might possibly be reposting comments…

Again, except for the fact that they signed their comment saying “someone else said this two days ago” paired with the fact that their username is “reposted daily mail comments.”

unless you look at the username, or notice the fact that they sign their comments with the original poster’s name, as well as how old the comment is.

You know they’re a novelty account, right? Read the username.

Let’s wait till a trailer is out before we make that call. There’s still time to fit a few murders in.
