Agreed. The book is super hard to follow, and it was hard to care about. I was even reading it for *free* via hoopla but have quit.

I think you mean “purest”

that’s awful. pan drippings from cooking a bird are the BEST thing to make gravy out of, and you have plenty after cooking a turkey. the jarred stuff is so nasty.

Why did you hate the book so much? Is it because Quentin is an unlikable protagonist? He’s meant to be, and he gets better...

What a clever plot. They’re attempting to trick people into paying to see what will essentially be a bowdlerized version of a movie they already saw, through the promise of extra jokes and deleted scenes. And it’s gonna work.

Call them. Tell them they’re racist.

I can’t tell why you’re asking me that. I’m not an expert on streaming services, nor do I have any more information than what was released - that it was a “niche service” and didn’t bring in enough money to please the AT&T overlords after the merger. None of that actually points to it being “bleeding unnecessary” - it…

You’re just wrong. Filmstruck brought together lots of amazing content that’s been largely forgotten by today’s audiences, and gave people a chance to discover NEW SHIT. You know, like when you browse a library shelf. Or do you think libraries should be replaced by Amazon too?

This is a bad movie BUT the opening credit sequence is lovely. Only good part of the whole thing.

Troom troom videos are fucking bizarre and very offputting, and for some reason instagram thinks I want to see accounts that repost clips of them ALL THE TIME.

So you misspelled “Michael” and misidentified the Carmina Burana.

No problem. The comic is great! If you have access to Hoopla through your public library, you can probably get it through there.

If you read the comic, it’s clear the church of night is totally based on the Catholic Church - there’s “dark clergy” that just look like priests and monsignors, and Edward Spellman is an evil altar boy.

That’s what it seems like. Kind of like the 50s vibe on Riverdale but EVEN MORE.

True and accurate.

thanks for the recs!

ok

Ok, I normally scorn sites that “explain what happened” at the end of movies for people who can’t/won’t parse it for themselves, but Collider, at least, sees it the same way I do...

Or for her bearded, plaid wearing, large adult sons.

Is this not 4-Loko for hipsters? Is it not??
