People can be petty as hell. When I was a land surveyor I had to, on multiple occasions, go out and stake out someones’ property line because a bush or a fence was supposedly a 1/4” over the property. These people would always be outside with video cameras and inane stories about these prolonged feuds they’ve had with…

I have never understood people who care so deeply about what their neighbors get up to. Like, I have never noticed any changes my neighbors make to their front lawns or houses, and even if I did...I wouldn’t care enough to...like, do anything?

A three hour loop

You don’t hate the rich who’s sole existence is the bane of mankind’s general welfare?   Tell me again how a man who had an army of workers doing his work in the bond market should be free to be an abusive prick more, it will surely make me see your position more clearly.

Yeah, Hitchcock wanted her character to be raped in a film adaptation of Henry Cecil’s No Bail For The Judge  — a rape that wasn’t in the book, but was added after Hepburn signed on!

It needs to be said how shockingly violent the deaths are.  I always remember the second to last one with a plastic bag.  Goddamn. 

Fun fact, Hitchcock wanted Hepburn in one of his films but it never happened. This is more than good enough to make up for that fact.  God I miss that woman, what an utter delight she was here.

Despite how obvious this pairing is, i kinda don’t think this is the right pairing of goth elements? Burton at his best is too melancholy for the Addams’ gleeful, loving transgressiveness, and at his worst is just a guy who likes spiky spirals. I think Jhonen Vasquez would be a way better fit for the property.

It’s pronounced shuh-RAAAAHHHHD, my dear.

Love this movie.

Without giving any spoilers, the person eventually revealed as the villain is remarkably tragic and sympathetic for such a light and fun movie. Really, their willingness to kill Hepburn is the ONLY thing that makes them at all unsympathetic and deserving of what happens.

Peter Stone's dialogue fucking crackles.

This movie is utterly delightful, and quite a bit better than To Catch A Thief in my book.

Yeah, I work with factories in China that were recently closed for their mid-Autumn festival. Used to work for two different companies owned by modern orthodox Jewish families of Syrian descent that closed offices for two days for Sukkot every year. If you think an appreciation for fall, even going so far as to…

We simply like the idea of a day of gratitude and a family meal together. At the start of the meal we go around the table and everyone says what they are grateful for.

Exactly the point I wanted to make, but far better than I could. This article was so US centric it made my French teeth hurt.

Everyone loves fall, and I think the reason because we crave connection with nature. The other seasons sort of slide into each other - mushy winter into wet spring, wet spring into summer thunderstorms - but fall generally ARRIVES, with either a nip in the air or lowering of temperatures from fucking hot to generally…

I mean to be fair, in addition to being racist, outside of the animated segments Song of the South is incredibly dull. Make no mistake, I agree they Song of the South should be featured with a disclaimer. Maybe even a documentary discussing the context of the movie. But the movie’s mystique is less about its quality…

Counterpoint: The movie is god-awful and hideously cheesy.

Condescending buzzword (and one I’d never heard of before today). Movies like those have been around for generations.
