I'm gearing up to do a reread once I find my copy. I randomly caught the movie late one night when I should have been sleeping in high school. Never heard of it but 1984 was my favorite book and dystopian fiction wasn't too big of a thing then. This was immediately up my alley. Found out there was a book, and when I…

I think I recall Atwood singling out Andrea Dworkin, who was anti-porn and joined the conservatives in late 70s/early 80s mainly on that stance. And Sarena Joy is obviously modeled after Tammy Faye. I'm sure that's mentioned elsewhere. Another commenter theorized that, based on the casting for the series, she might be…

I mean to reread the book soon, but I believe the trainers are called Aunts and they do wear brown.

It's been years since I've seen Tremors. I forgot she was in it!

I'm genuinely interested in seeing the serious-actor phase of Amy Schumer's career. This would be perfect.

I got super excited at "Southern Gothic" in the headline, but I don't see that at all in the description.

Ohhhhhh I want this so so much.

I had Video King growing up. The horror section was a haunted house you had to walk into. I was terrified to go in for years. Self-rocking chair on the porch, cobwebs, green lighting inside. The front yard had headstones with "Jason", "Freddy," etc. Miss it so much. The space is now a Chinese Buffet.

I've never been in one, but their weekly ads look like hardware store ads from the early 90s.

I love that ending so much. The past couple years I've seen some backlash over it, commenters seeing the film as super tense and realistic, then being let down by the goofiness of the end. I feel like that's the point. THIS is the reality, Rosemary's been in the dark, surrounded by these freaking goofy Satanists…

Ha! Literally just laughed water out my nose. Now I can skip the neti pot. Thanks!

I was always disappointed they didn't keep making movies. I remember a list of future films back in the day, that never got made.

I freaking love the Dark Castle House on Haunted Hill! That scene when Bridget Wilson sees the surgery in her camera, then puts the camera down and there's nothing but the dank dark empty room, then puts the camera back up and, yep, there's that surgery (human experiment?), and then everyone in the camera stops and…

I can't believe how compelling this back half is, and for me it's because of the set up. I frankly got a bit bored with the butcher and her crew rolling up with their torches in the every other scene in cheesy reenactments, but when they saw the torches this episode, knowing what it was and that Audrey, Money and Lee…

Holy moly I need to stop reading this thread, all of these are up my alley and that I can't wait to get into this series!

God, I remember reading that in lit class for the first time and just not believing the ending. The same class I read "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been"and being similarly blown away.

Those two books keep popping up in lists like this, I really need to get on top of reading them.

Yes, loved Out. You got it right about that grinding down part. It's been a while since I read it, but I remember the first hundred ir so pages being exhausting with the details of their day-to-day lives. I really felt that desperation, and it honestly hit close to home, especially the one character who is certain…

One of days I was at the NY State Fair this I kept seeing a guy wearing a Trump That Bitch shirt, the one with the Lewinsky blow job joke on it, walking hand-in-hand with his 12 year old daughter. I drank so much that day…

Hey, if I bottom at least I don't have to look at him.
