I have read the book The Road and straight up refused to watch the movie. It is just too devastating! 

I believe they opted not to “clarify that abortion care is legal for miscarriages or nonviable pregnancies” because they simply do not agree with that premise and want neither their constituents nor doctors under their jurisdiction to get that impression.

I’d have included Takashi Miike’s Audition from 1999 to the list.

I’m surprised Salo didn’t make the list. I have no desire to see it even once, but everyone I’ve known who has seen it basically says ‘Yeah, I’m never watching that again.”

In the course of about a year I watched Happiness, Very Bad  Things,  and Your Friends and Neighbors, all of which my ex wanted to see. I should have taken that as a sign 

Dancer in the Dark is my #1 choice for an amazing movie that was so devastating I never want to see it again.

The show has never been grounded in reality though, it’s always been totally ridiculous. Things happen that would never happen in real life, and we go with it because that’s how the show works.

Huh, I never considered the possibility that Sally hadn’t destroyed the house or that there really was a third person there. 

Yup. I live on Whidbey Island and my main/front windows face west. I get direct sunshine on them from about 1 pm til sundown (almost 9 pm now).

I was in Hoquiam Saturday for a housewarming party, and Tacoma Sunday for mother’s day, and I live north of Seattle. My house does not have AC and it’s difficult to keep it even remotely comfortable in weather like this. Portable and window ac units have been a must

The most terrifying moments of Barry have no soundtrack. No music to deflate or create dramatic distance. Just pure ambient sound to make everything that much more disturbing.

I read an interview with Hader in The Wrap this morning that confirms the shadow man was a figment of her imagination, “a manifestation of her guilt,” as Hader put it. The voices started with the biker she killed, followed by other cast members. The only people in the house were Sally and John.

“Look what the cat brought in the house.”  (Not a malapropism per se, but still made me chuckle.)

I’d like to throw in Fletch’s running from crooked cops in, well, Fletch. Chevy is at his peak, here.

Guaranteed that “pastor” has a good two dozen podcast episodes in which he rationalizes Trump as a man of god.

Come on, the climactic tanker chase at the end of the Road Warrior is an all-timer. That’s where George Miller really established his signature ability to meld chase sequence with battle sequence and ratchet up the standard car case to a whole other level.

I honestly don’t think Bevel has the balls to confront Sally. She scared the crap out of him. 

While the time jump seemed a little surreal at first, it’s making a lot more sense as other characters are reappearing.

Don’t like what's being said about a topic? Keep trying different speakers until you find the one you like.

I like how the name of Hank's company is his relationship portmanteau. He must feel Cristobal's presence always, and not just because of the statue to him.
