Think Cronenberg (both father and son) films. It typically involves really good (typically practical) special effects to really sell it.

Yeah, this review just confirms two of the things I was hoping for: Delaney’s commentary being self-aware, and great prosthetics. Only thing that would make it better would be if it were 2010 and I’m drunk-watching The Soup and McHale’s set aside 5 minutes to talk about it.

It’s three rounds. First are the literate (about the topic), so people with science backgrounds, public health backgrounds, and the generally informed on these sorts of things. Second are those where the promise of freedom of movement without the fear of disease. Third are “stick” that if they won’t get vaccinated if…

Facepalme D’oh

Yeah, weird that their second season didn’t get any acting nominations last year, though did get nominated for casting (in general) which is something

Stranger Things’ maximalist spin-off?

Are you saying that De Palma is finally gonna rub out Hitchcock? Outlook not so rosy.

Same. If I’m really liking a game with a high difficulty option, I’ll try to beat it on that setting after I beat the game in “normal” mode with a solid idea of game mechanics, play-style, equipment &c.

It’s wild because what’s being taught isn’t CRT, it’s basic history without all the makeup on. A few of my courses in grad school touched on CRT and they should not be taught to kids. Partly the subject matter (genocide, slavery, rape), partly because they’d be bored out of their minds.

If it means that GOP individual donors’ pockets are empty for fights of actual substance, I’m fine with Trump getting all of their money in this grift.

Yeah, the Biden photo-op is a political down payment. DeSantis is betting that Trump either not running in ‘24, or sundowning regularly enough that he can be trounced in the primary.

My partner’s (paying someone to) redoing the downstairs bathroom and I’ve found myself siding with Christina more and more in that yes, it’ll cost a bit more but it should at least look decent. So yes, I’ll smoke toad with her.

I hate sounding like a gatekeeper, but Swift has shifted to pop, and even her country music is fairly mainstream. Does Blackburn actually listen to Country music outside of what’s on the radio? It’s not like Simpson, Price and Childers are complete unknowns in that neck of the woods.

Can’t be utterly and completely humiliated if you don’t put yourself out there (and end up canceling most of your shows because nobody wants to see an old rapist on stage).

I’d like to think I could fix their marriage as their third.

Are we forgetting that the expectation of “this kind of movie” was to make the ex’s new girl some “rich bitch elite” and have Elle prove herself by one-upping her. Instead they gained a mutual respect and friendship, and realized that they were much better without the dud. That friendship is a good reason why it’s a…

The script was not good for Jennifer’s Body, and Kusama’s quoted in not wanting to change much as Cody had just won an Oscar for Juno. It’s a fine movie hamstrung by a bad script.

I got a Robyn notification for this?

Call the police, wait 4 hours for them to show up and tell me that they can’t do anything.

Why is there a tension, though? How does this solve any issues of police overreach? This is a PR move and a waste in funds that could otherwise be spent in programs where the primary goal isn’t the enforcement of laws regardless of morals/ethics/commonsense.
