So after several paragraphs of criticizing Biden’s campaign, the author gets to the real point of the post: Bernie was better! Bernie’s supporters were better!

So there’s a global pandemic upending society, the government just released footage of UFOs, and the US is about to be invaded by giant hornets.

That two-year period was great for killer-bee movies... Apart from “The Swarm” (1978), you also had “The Savage Bees” (1976), and the simpler titled “The Bees,” also in 1978.

It’s interesting that, if I’m remembering correctly:

If we’re talking about lines from the movie, “Horny will kick embarrassment’s ass every time,” is pretty good. 

...while Trump can’t even get consequences...

I really was not expecting to see this mentioned on this message board... I’ve been on websites a lot this week trying to find copies of Guy N. Smith’s crab books (particularly with the late-’80s U.S. covers). Unfortunately they’re cost-prohibitive. 

I hasted to add another comparison: although the night this started to blow up she was on network television in a bear suit singing “Baby Got Back,” Sarah Palin was for many years a star of the conservative movement, of the Gadsden-waving set pictured above. During that time her brand, her catch-phrase was “death…

Aside?... “Eyes of a Stranger” is an incredibly good song.

This movie’s such a Rorschach Test for where you are in life. I think anyone who saw this earlier than, say, their late-20s would find it stupefyingly boring. But anyone there or older will find something to relate to, how it does capture the bittersweetness of not being a kid anymore, and the realization that when…

Is this the story where the girl’s home alone and the guy rolls up with his friend and tries to convince her to come out of the house in increasingly uncomfortable ways?

I heard a joke/comment this week re: ‘And Trump repeatedly says how no one could have seen this coming while also criticizing Obama for not preventing it.’

I find it dubious that anyone can beat Trump—the fact that his approval and disapproval ratings have improved since this health crisis began...

For me the climax of “Octopussy” is its weakest aspect, but what great fun the chase through the streets of India is, and the thing with the train/bomb at the circus is one of my favorite Bond set-ups. I like that it’s one of the few times we see Roger Moore’s Bond kind of loosing his shit (i.e. when he’s trying to…

A good step. Growing up I was lucky enough to have a tv in my bedroom (b. ‘74, for context), and I remember the local channel (the vaunted fourth channel) would show a movie from 7 to 9 every night. The variety was staggering: “Citizen Kane,” “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” “Bad Boys (Sean Penn),” “Johnny…

I’ve seen/heard people who aren’t ‘bots or anything and who rabidly support Trump say that Fox News is a liberal news outlet.

How was your day?

Ahh, that show I wanted to watch because everyone was talking about it... then everyone was writing articles about how it was unfairly one-sided or something... then how it was ‘problematic’... then how by watching it I would be a bad person for rewarding/perpetuating bad things, et al.

Does anyone have recommendations for the best episodes of MST3K? I really like the concept, but I’m unfamiliar with the show as a whole. I’d be more receptive to the later movies (‘70s or so), and horror. That’s the thing is I think I only saw the “Boggey Creek” episode, and I’m also remembering “Squirm”?

To find out for sure, we’ll just have to wait until the film is released and magically appears on discounted DVD racks in truck stop convenience stores across the country.
