Oh, I remember the image but not the story.
Here's a weird: there's a Scary Stories entry whose title I can't find (it's about a little black dog but it's not "The Little Black Dog") where some robbers or something break into an old man's house and his little terrier rips their throats out. More or less. The

Have you played any of the Sorcery! iOS games? They're good, if eventually too complicated for me to really enjoy (the 3rd book/game is beyond the scope of my abilities.)

The writing is really, honestly bad. The illustrations are effective but any time someone comments positively on the contents of the stories themselves and is over the age of maybe 10 I worry about them a bit.

There are definitely some decent creepypastas but they tend to be more "a little creepy, kind of clever" rather than anything approaching "scary." I like "Sarah O'Bannon" (which is likely just a lightly retooled folk tale) and "My Lilies Are Wilting" (whose title I might be getting wrong) and was moderately upset by

What's "The Haunted House?" I can't even find it online, and don't remember it.

This is literally counterfactual

It's also important that abusers are often very kind *to the people they abuse.* If Depp was an asshole 100% of the time, he wouldn't get so many women to be in long-term relationships with him. You can be an amazing partner/husband/wife/whatever 99% of the time, and a violent asshole 1% of the time, and well, that

Why do Asian actors only get villain roles? It's really unfair.

The art and writing and art/writing are all pretty, uh, bad

I mean, but actually,

I actually shouted "narm! Narm!" at the screen during that scene. I couldn't take GoT seriously at all.

The reviews I've seen mention that the other girls have plastic surgery and are jealous of Fanning's natural, perfect beauty/that Fanning is at least for a while the hottest new thing in town.

I don't think that's what he means. In the trailers they ramble on about how perfect and otherworldly and beautiful Elle fanning is. She's cute! Nice body! But kind of a weird pick for some kind of ultimate usurper runway model of death.

I saw the movie when it was in theaters and within a week had completely forgotten about the trolls. I babysat for a neighbor and the daughter was really in Frozen and had some kind of plastic dolls of the trolls—still didn't jog my memory. I thought "what are those horrible moss demons? Why does this child love them

Counterpoint: all the random bullshit with the moss trolls, or whatever those were.

I definitely thought Tulip should dump him at a couple points, though I didn't feel like it was too hard to believe that she wouldn't.
I was disappointed that they cast a Tulip who is 4 years younger than their Jesse, since I felt like her being significantly older than he is in the series was an interesting element to

It came across to me as basically a little slap on the wrist considering the scope/consequences of what he'd been doing. He didn't get away with it 100% but he also didn't really, uh, not get away with it, either.

Tulip's "strong" but the narrative also goes to really shitty places with her. Jesse also gets away with really, really awful/patronizing treatment of her that never gets called into question by the narrative (and when Tulip does it, he still manages to come out as good-intentioned.) All the Tulip/Cassidy stuff is

I read all of Preacher. Twice.

Funnily (?) enough, the intro and some of the pull quotes on the first trade are from Kevin Smith. I remember that he described the series as "more fun than going to the movies" or something like that and that that description stuck with me. It's a very propulsive, action-driven kinda thing and I thought the
