Almost as stupid as a fucking war over a magic ring!

They make a great double feature. Remains first to build up all that emotional tension, then Shadowlands for the big release.

In his interviews with Truffaut, Alfred Hitchcock cites the Kuleshov Effect, but doesn't point out that he himself used it in Rear Window. I believe the same close-up of Jimmy Stewart smiling is intercut with shots of a cute dog, which makes him look pleasant, and the sexy "Miss Torso", which makes him look lecherous.

Ohio begs to differ.

Big Lots is a fascinating museum of failure.

I'll be honest: the main reason I am skeptical about this series is that an American muggle is a "NoMaj", which is so dumb it makes me cringe.

Braga's first great starring role was actually 1976's Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, which was an enormous hit in Brazil, and made her a superstar there. Nice to see her back in the spotlight, though.

I wanted to see it, but it sounds like this movie has "jump scare" written all over it. (For me, sudden loud gunshots coming from out of nowhere = jump scares.) True?

As the Pfeffermans are Jewish, I don't know if "anglos" is germane in your metaphor. Why not just say "whites"?

I know, I've seen it, but even with her outbursts, she's still way more likable and relatable than any of the Pfeffermans.

Rabbi Raquel is kind of saintly. So is Josh's son.

Baz Luhrmann's Mulan Rouge!

"misdirected woo"

True - people write off New Jersey as a guaranteed blue state, but I've seen lots of boisterous pro-Trump support out there. Like, they made up their minds a year ago and that's that, Hillary can go fuck herself and so can you.

"she is a Vietnamese girl he adopted with his wife"

Writing this for myself to remember, since I doubt anyone will read this, but:
"Fruit Tree" by Nick Drake
"It's Not Up to You" by Björk (actually the whole album)
"Betting on Trains" by Hem (the live version from No Word from Tom)
"I Don't Owe You Anything" by The Smiths (the version with Sandie Shaw on vocals)
"Hairy…

(Professor Moriarty's last words)

He also wrote George Benson's "Give Me the Night", a perfect song, which evokes images of sipping white wine in a Manhattan penthouse circa 1980. Something I've never done, but would like to do.

I looked it up, and most of the Elvira movies/shows/etc. were co-written by fellow Groundling John Paragon, who played Jambi on Pee-wee's Playhouse. So obviously Peterson has stayed tight with him, as has Reubens for that matter. But you're right, Mistress of the Dark is a dud, and its corny vaudeville humor is partly…

He took a fucking dump in it.
