Not that it necessarily makes a difference, but IIRC he hit the dad on the head with a large snowglobe, and the house was mentioned to be in the middle of nowhere, thus the kid's death.

I haven't been watching this show, but if Xavier's right, I might have to start. The genre shift during Season 2 would be interesting to see, anyway.

I once went to get a pizza with a friend, and we got free drinks and a bag of bread rolls (do they count as a pastry?) roles thrown in for no apparent reason. I'm pretty sure that was because the boss thought I was attractive - when we went to thank him he told me to come again sometime, while my male-presenting…

I saw that, and was glad - although personally I'm much more invested in Wynonna's relationship with her sister than I am in any of her romantic relationships and hookups.

Holy crap. That is the most 90s thing I have ever seen.

No, you're right - it was a few episodes later. I was exaggerating. But it was still meant to be, I think, just weeks after she'd come home, and she was still trying to deal with the trauma resulting from the brainwashing and the Fauxlivia stuff. So Peter pressuring her to just get over it so he could go back to what…

I didn't know about the lesbian vampires thing.

You know, I was actually really excited about this season early on. I
wanted to see Simmons' adventures in space, and we were getting a PTSD
storyline with her, and Lance and Bobbi had a steady relationship based
on revenge instead of fighting all the damn time, and they were doing
some cycle of abuse stuff with Ward…

Heh. I meant A New Hope.

Heh. Thanks!

I loved that bit from Ebert.

I kinda hate Dead Poet's Society. If it was just about Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke, I'd like it well enough - even though it drives me crazy that no one pointed out to the former that he could run off and try to be an actor as soon as he turned eighteen.

I've never been heavily into Star Wars, but a few years back I figured I should watch the movies properly, given how iconic it is. So I watched the first movie, and thought "That was okay, I guess. Why does everyone like this thing so much?"

I'm sorry! I'm young and ignorant!

Okay, I clicked this simply because I also was under the impression that Jimi Hendrix was white - specifically, the white guy who's in that famous poster, shirtless, with a mop of curly dark hair.

Unfortunately, I live halfway across the world. Thank you, though! I might just check it out if I'm ever in the area.

Tangentially related story - a few years back, I went to a water/adventure park with some people from my tertiary education program.

I'm torn between horror, amusement, and "Oh my god, I know it's wrong, but I wish I could've gone there!"

Welp, I've got a great idea to make some money! All I need is a ticket to New Jersey and a time machine!

OCULUS:
I think the premise is a cool idea. Basically a supernatural mirror made a family re-enact The Shining when the protagonists, Kaylie and Tim, were children. Both parents ended up dead, and the kids swore to kill the mirror when they were adults. In the present day, Kaylie's found/stolen the mirror and plans to…
