Yup that's where my mind went too. Peak Simpsons years. 

Scaling this fuel would be ridiculous and unfeasible, which is the issue ethanol ran into with corn-based fuels. You end up having to cultivate more arable land for fuel than for food and you either end up with no food or no land. The energy expenditures required to turn uncultivated land into fuel-supporting farmland…

Fighting crime in a future time.

Central Organization of Police Specialists. Its a crappy backronym, but they did have a banging theme song:

The first Conjuring movie was fun. I didn’t see the second one. I recently watched Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do it and it pissed me off a little. It is based on a real murder case and the murderer was convicted, only served 5 years, and is still alive. And here we have a movie taking his bullshit “I was…

The thing I really like about Patrick Wilson is that, reportedly, his career goal was to “be in a million movies and have no one know who I am.” Mission accomplished, my good man.

I knew they were bullshit artists, I didn’t know that they specifically laid out contracts (or tried) to make sure no one could accuse ed of pedophilia or child pornography (relating to his mistress, I’m imagining?) which is one of those “I feel like you don’t need this in a contract unless this is a thing that…

Damn. Kinda glad I never Googled them so I was able to enjoy the films when they came out. 

Hucksters and ghouls, as another poster below accurately called them. Reminds me of Sylvia Browne, another peddler of lies and false hope, who preyed most often on those suffering from grief. I don’t recall if You’re Wrong About did an episode on her, but I know Swindled did and I strongly recommend it.

Every time a new movie based on the Warrens comes out a whole bunch of outlets, some journalistic and others just the entertainment press, take the editorial stance that ghosts and demons must be real. This never gets followed up on.

Personally, I have a background in the Eldrich mysteries. Scholarship is dead easy when the subject (and the discipline) is made up.

I came for the exposure of the Warrens as grifters, I stayed for the story about how Lorraine claimed to have met Bigfoot. Apparently he just had an infection in both feet, normally they aren’t that big!

There’s an interesting theory floated in the episode that the Warrens might have been in on the grift with some of the families experiencing hauntings. If a family can’t afford to stay in their house and suddenly that house becomes a famous tourist attraction for all of its ghost stories, everyone sort of wins? I…

Oh fuck I had no idea they were rebooting The 4400. I loved that show on its initial airing. 

Haven’t watched the doc but the really icing on the cake would be if the song in the end credits was a version of “Fly me to the moon”

So, I went in too check the intro and now I’m 47 minutes into the documentary. It’s great! And I don’t even watch or play hockey.

What youre not a fan of Turkish Dirt Hockey?

So does that mean that the closing Olympic ceremonies will be a black and white incoherent stream of consciousness? Or will we get the ending where the team captain masterbates onto an unconscious ref?

And here i figured that “You’re not ready for what’s coming” was referring to Jagr’s mullet.
