Glasses, regular bathing, and antibiotics are all unnatural too. I ain't giving up any of them.

My reaction to SaD was "it's bull, but it's the kind of bull that needs to exist to counter all the bull promoting monogamy as the One True Way".

There was a SyFy TV movie remake back in the 90s. It stuck much closer to the book (meaning the climax is completely different), and had one of the actors from the sitcom Wings as the protagonist. It really made a difference to have Jack start out relatively sane.

Here I was thinking I'd have to out my pale self by mentioning that one.

There's millions of "You're awful and you've done me wrong" breakup songs, very few "this relationship was comfortable but not what I need".

WTF? Okay, the rain of hate makes a lot more sense now.

Love Lockdown.

Empty isolated resort. Protagonist takes over as caretaker for the coldest part of the winter months. That alone is super creepy to me, *before* the actual plot kicks in.

Setup is a guy holing up in an empty ski lodge/resort to take care of it over the winter; he'll be living there with just his wife and gradeschool-age kid for a few very cold months, in a space intended to hold several hundred people.

Awesome. That movie made staying alone in the dorms over spring break *incredibly* unnerving for me.

…Illuminati confirmed?

If we're talking classic supernatural horror - ever seen The Shining?

Anytime a chain does "hot" that is even remotely spicy, I give them credit. Then again I live in the Midwest, so they may be toning it down locally.

And Disqus is going to implode in a singularity of vanishing posts if I try to go back and catch up. Shame.

Points off? My teachers wouldn't give me any credit if I did that - but I could get 80-90% credit if I showed work that led to a wrong answer in the last step.

Well, bought out. It's not *dead* until the new bosses decide to retune the entire menu to look like KFC.

Between the novel adaptations, recurring actors, and general tapping into an enthusiastic but relatively small fanbase - does this demographically remind anyone of where sci-fi and fantasy TV shows were 20-30 years ago?

That's the glory of kids, see - any "Are they X?" is probably still an open question.

Man, I'm straight and I'm not remotely tempted.

It's like a 5 year old's idea of intercourse. Bet you could spark a fetish/*years* of therapy if you show this gif to a suggestible child at the right time.
