It’s all the more infuriating to follow from a country (Switzerland, hardly your stereotypical banana republic) where we’ve all been routinely voting by mail for ages now - and trust me, we vote often (direct democracy = shitload of initiatives and referendums all year long).

More specifically, it’s a list incredibly devoid of Dooley Wilson.

I generally agree (for instance about The Babadook being a good movie but nothing more than a good movie), but there are also different ways to like a thing, at different degrees. I can give many examples. A fondness for John Carpenter movies and their easy going juvenile silliness, yet a distinction between the…

This happens to be actually my favorite example.

This is how you do a proper Holmes interrogation scene :

Oh my god. I really just can’t read buddies followed by an interrogation mark in a normal voice anymore.

Incapacitated. In this show, when someone dies they let you know very unambiguously.

No, I was thinking of Jean-Marie Bigard. A much milder one.

Well, one party has many plans to make the USA much worse, so, there’s that. I suppose the other party’s standards make the country better, in relation to that. If there’s some Trump creepiness to undo, it’s an amelioration.

I’ve seen numerous variations on that, most often from the right - for instance a french comedian using it to justify his support for a right wing politician (when he’s not busy demonstrating the 9/11 inside job).

Wait. You mean that there are people who are actually voting for Biden instead of Harris ?

Far-right republicans who find Trump too erratic and not “clean” enough, and for whom the dilemma “vote Republican BUT vote Trump” would be solved by his death.

Bitterly BITTERLY disappointed to not find a tvtropes page dedicated to the Bond musical theme and the culturally fascinating use of its evocation to mean “and now we are spying”.

He holds him responsible for the Gozer invasion ?

For me, the disturbing part was the intro. Disturbingly close to reality (I guess tv/movie adaptations are mostly about using an original work’s lego pieces to build a representation of current issues and concerns). So the question was quick over.

Yes and now. Yes, the mortality rate is pretty low even for people “at risk”. No, it’s not 0,5% low. It’s around 6% for people with respiratory issues, or with hypertension, or with cancer, and around 10% for people with cardiovascular issues. And of course, a combination of those in a person makes it way more…

I feared a much worse picture.

They’ll be fine. It’s just a matter of sufficient bleach injection. Crossing fingers.

Ok, I’ll actually check it out. It’s not very nice of me to post in here without having listened to it anyway (it’s just that the podcast media didn’t appeal much to me by default, compared to the comfortably variable speed of reading).

You really have this impression ? From the titles mentioned, it seems to be about genuinely good (and, as such, less straightforward derivative) horror movies. It’s mostly just my recent favorites. Hence, precisely, my impression that it just mean “quality horror movies”.
