“a performance artist who enters a chrysalis to showcase the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances.”

I’ve liked some of his more recent films, but I am very excited to see Cronenberg get back to his “body horror” roots. Maybe seeing his son making these kinds of films lately got his horror juices flowing again.

Yep this looks great. 

That pretty much sums up my feelings to, my initial reaction too, but the more I looked, the more I liked. Still a close call, but I picked nice price because the seller actually wrote a good ad, he is not “saling” his car, it doesn’t need or have good “breaks” or “need fixed”, no all caps, no don’t bother me with…

Nobody gets fired for briefly touching a woman’s knee. Langella is a fairly big name, and given he’s older than the norm for this part, the production obviously wanted to cast him. You fire somebody under contract for nothing, you get sued. This was something or he’d not have gotten fired.

I think you may be misunderstanding a bit how this stuff works. What we have here is a snippet of legally vetted description of the incident. What actually happened, in context, likely made someone feel uncomfortable (or objectified or threatened) enough that the people in the know saw it as a fireable offense.

No…

Hopefully your tombstone won’t read “he got regularly outraged on behalf of sexual harassers”

The “expensive” eggs never really was about nutrition for me. Frankly, I don’t buy them for their nutritive value. They taste great, and are fun to cook in about a billion ways.

Counterpoint - EVs are new. And after decades of consumer electronics and PCs becoming obsolete quickly, having an EV that feels and comes across like a Toyota will probably make people feel like they’re taking less of a risk. There has been some well-publicized early-adopter pain with the Nissan Leaf and it’s…

Which is nice. My fun time is riding my bike, when it comes to cars I want a reliable appliance that doesn’t need any attention except when changing oil and filters, exactly what I do in my Corolla.

I’m wondering with the rise of EV’s how much “Toyota reliability” will matter. One of the big reasons people buy Toyotas or Hondas is because of their reputation for bullet proof reliably engines. When many vehicles are using batteries and motors from the same suppliers, reliability becomes less of a factor and…

This would work well as a six-episode mini-series on SpiritHalloween+

Different motors. FWD is one 150kW and AWD is two 80kW.

They need to change all they are is Hot Topic with a little selection of adult toys in the back.

With only 13hp separating the fwd and awd, it begs the question: do they use the same front motor, thus the rear motor only has 13hp in a very similar fashion to the prius e-awd? Do you have cargo area dimensions, particularly the footprint, not volume? On a day-to-day basis, cargo footprint is a much more useful…

Missed opportunity - the store sells masks imbued with an ancient Druidic curse, and on Halloween night kids around the country wearing their masks watch a commercial and it turns their heads into bugs.

There are portals to other Spirit Halloween stores in the Manager’s office.

I actually think a film set in a Halloween Store could be a lot of fun as a non-horror movie. Like, I could see it as a slacker workplace comedy like ‘Empire Records’ or ‘High Fidelity.’ It could be a great ensemble film with all the different folks that took the temporary job out of necessity (with the one obligatory…

the one thing The Lighthouse has going for it, is no real story. It’s freeing. I’d rather watch that, than be distracted by a poor story. Movies are atmosphere anyway, draped over one of a few possible structures. 

I’d be able to take this premise slightly more seriously if Spirit Halloween wasn’t always one big giant open room. How the hell can you make an entire 60+ minute film in that store?
