Bomb us from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

I actually went to a B&B that was like that… the entry hallway had this giant pile of dolls near the fire place. I guess so you could just torch the lot when one of them got haunted.

The Ring is still fucking scary. Really, The Following would have been just scary without the nudity, I think.

There's also the possibility, like House of the Devil, that the Doll will kill you no matter what you do, and you are hired as food for it.

Gremlins 4: Endlessly Reproducing Reptiles Solve World Hunger.

Ugh. This movie. Every bit of tension it had in its final act was because Mulder for some reason didn't have a gun. The villains had a two headed dog and a few lengths of pipe.

I've been listening to How Did This Get Made lately… and it does increase the amusement to know that, say, the Snakes in Anaconda cost $100,000 per minute they were in the film, and that at one point one of them broke and started having a servo seizure. And that they were like "eh, just put it in the movie."

And for some reason, turning people into junk food is even worse. Like, at least pan sear a guy. Don't just make a candy milkshake.

Yup, on a climate change altered version of the Big Island.

I quite enjoyed Ben and Kate. While still kind of wanting Ben to have an episode where get gets that snaggletooth fixed.

Not just killed, but killed and eaten. Pretty much any time a clown turns someone into something, it's later consumed.

That's some real professional level hatred right there.

If you've been reading the Culture books and liking them, I might suggest The Algebraist, one of Banks's stand alone sci-fi books. It was quite a bit of world building for a single volume, with a cast of crazy long lived yet surprisingly violent aliens, interstellar barbarian kings, and a galactic all worlds order.

How are you liking it? I ended up finding it kind of frustrating…. by the time I got used to the style, slang and invented words of one section, it was time to go to another section where I had to start all over again. And the middle two stories about the journalist and the old publisher didn't catch my interest as…

Does this mean we're close with Mortal Kombat: Khardasians?

Or Xena. I'll share that one with the lesbians, if they don't mind.

The funny thing is that his bulge is supposedly a bag of potpourri to keep things fresh for the guy juggling those balls, since he had to stand next to Bowie's butt for a long time.

A lot of women learned they liked men by watching Labyrinth. From my non representative sample of friends.
