I've actually gotten quite obsessed with election trivia over the past month. I started looking up past lost-the-popular-vote elections about a month ago (I wonder why?) and since then I've been getting really into this shit. Stuff like John C. Calhoun running as a VP candidate for multiple presidents simultaneously…

*barely said fuck you. Still the closest any Western European country has ever gotten to openly electing a fascist in decades (though that will undoubtedly change next year).

IN DIS UNIVERSE, DERE IS ONLY WAN ABSOLUTE: EVERYTING FREEZES.

Sigh… it would be a very different world if someone had shown Burnett a copy of Ghosts Can't Do It beforehand.

An Inconvenient Truth 2: Die Truthers Die

I just skip to the end of The Purple Rose of Cairo.

Not helping matters was the fact that the driver in question looked like an avocado fucked an older, more disgusting avocado.

In other words, Jimmy McMillan is a movie character who obviously Purple Rose of Cairo'd his way into reality.

The German V-Joke strikes again…

"Gunray" is an inversion of Reagan, and then Nute for Newt Gingrich. Apart from Gunray being a villain, I'm not sure what the parallel is supposed to be there.

Giraffes?
What happened to the giraffes?
DID 2016 FUCK WITH THE GIRAFFES?
OH FUCK YOU 2016 YOU ARE NOT TAKING AWAY THE GODDAMN GIRAFFES TOO YOU FUCKING SHITSTAIN OF A YEAR

Pete Postlethwaite was the only part of all three sequels that I thought worked, to the point where I sometimes forget that he wasn't in the first film.

I'm afraid there's been a mix-up, Mr. Truffleberry, what you have here is a Tom Hardy. He won't write any famed Victorian-era novels for you, but he may get into long driving sequences, during which he either will blow up a shitload of War Boys or be forced to divorce his wife and lose his job over the phone.

Welp, I've seen one of these movies… thanks, small town with one theater in a nearly fifty-mile radius! Maybe Moonlight and Manchester By The Sea will make it out here after nominations are announced, or maybe they'll get Whiplash-ed. I can tell you we sure as hell won't be getting American Honey or 20th Century Women…

I imagine that would be the case now that Kim Jong-un implemented his new mandatory rose-tinted-goggles-at-all-times-or-else-firing-squad policy.

I feel like I would probably obsess over an asteroid if I knew it was hurtling towards me.

I'm fairly certain we know which of the two is the one getting the Penice every night. https://d.ibtimes.co.uk/en/…

I've got to give kudos to the "crosses flipping over" scene from The Conjuring 2. That image seemed a little overblown in the trailer, but in the actual film it was hauntingly effective and one of the best "well, we're fucked" moments I can think of in a film of late.
