I think that scene has a deliberate double meaning. At first glance, Horse seems to be taking advantage of Alan - that’s what Nadia assumes, and what we’re supposed to assume. But I think that his line “We’ve got another one” actually means “we’ve got another looper”, and that he accepts Alan’s material possessions…

I actually took away something else from the documentary - I’d only ever heard the much vaguer stories of Bundy, as handsome/charming/intelligent. While I completely agree that the documentary virtually ignores and dehumanizes the victims, I think it actually demystifies Bundy to some extent.

“I found it on Etsy!”

“Let’s say white people things! Billy Joel!”

It’s probably because he’s so cartoony and easy to imitate but man, D’Arcy Carden’s Jason impression was spot on.

Yeah, as someone that’s on tumblr for fandom the jokes about how tumblr is going to die and porn was the only thing it was good for are getting a little annoying. #possiblyoversensitive #thathellsiteisimportanttometho

AO3, duh.

You know the real problem with voter apathy?

This is by far the most common and short sighted argument that I see. Wringing hands worried about what the “other side” will think or do.

Yeah, the last five minutes almost ruin the whole. thing. It was like if someone recorded the ending of a Grey’s Anatomy season finale over the last five minutes of The Shining.

I’m annoyed by how many of you didn’t understand the clear reference to “Sk8r Boi” in the hed...

I don’t think most people are angry at the end for Hugh, i think it’s that final montage starting when Luke wakes up and the optimistic FM Radio Acoustic Guitar starts up that’s making us all rageful.

I think you’re right in that the music is what sets the mood for these scenes, and the mood it sets is inconsisent with the message the scenes should be delivering. I can buy the family connecting and trying to heal as a result of seeing Nell and saving Luke, but Sab’s explanation above really is on point. For all the…

Without a doubt. The finale undercut so much that came before, not least being the menace of the house and how horrible being trapped there is supposed to be. Liv and Nell having so much power over the house didn’t make much sense. Nell was able to cut off the houses hold over her siblings. Liv made the red room open…

I was with it up until “the happily ever after” ending, which completely undermined the doom to which Olivia, Hugh, and Nell were consigned, and the intrinsic horror of Hill House’s existence and every spirit bound inside of it. If the intent was to show that love could carve out a safe state of being in the Red Room,…

Worse than the treacle is that the denouement / moral re: the healing power of truthfulness fundamentally clashes with the actual climax, which is all about lies providing comfort. What the fuck were they thinking

What a disappointment.

I told a very condensed version of this in a comment to one of the Jez horror story posts maybe about five? years ago, so I’m officially submitting this now. Now with bonus pics. 

This is not my story, but my best friend’s, and I’m sharing with his blessing. (Re-post from last year.)
