I like the term “mirror movies”.

I had thought Newton was typecast as the bratty daughter of the more important characters, but I’m admittedly only familiar with her work in Three Billboards, the last season of Halt and Catch Fire, and with the first season of Big Little Lies. IMDB says she was also in Lady Bird and an episode of Mad Men, but I have…

The “incoherent” link may be badly written, but it’s actually rather coherent. It’s just polling people whether they prefer mustard or cheese on hotdogs/brats.

Perhaps all the original footage was destroyed to avoid embarrassment.

I’ve never seen it myself, I just know it was a notoriously bad show.

One was from William Castle, and used the gimmick of “Emergo”, a skeleton that would hang above the audience while a similar skeleton appeared onscreen. The other is a novel by Shirley Jackson which was adapted into a Robert Wise film simply titled “The Haunting” (to avoid confusion with the William Castle film).

They did, which was a predictable consequence of trying to turn the story into an uplifting family drama.

Magic.

I’m glad you said this because you’re absolutely right and people should point it out until the term stops being misused.

I’m surprised no one here has yet made a “My Mother, the Car” joke.

I found it funny that in all this discussion of whether Gygax should be considered sole author and whether role-playing predates Chainmail that nobody brought up he wasn’t even the sole author of Chainmail. Jeff Perren co-wrote it with him.

What matters is the progressivity of the entire tax+transfer system, not just one side. The US has a higher top marginal income tax rate than Switzerland and the UK, just slightly lower than Germany and Australia.

Sorry. Binge-watching resulted in all the episodes blending together for me.

Not nearly as much as Kinja is!

Most of the old commenters on these threads left with the arrival of Kinja, and the place I’d left for was a pop culture Disqus channel mirroring some of the old threads here. But now two years later Disqus is ending channels, so the people behind that have set up a blogspot site with Disqus comments. And rather than…

I saw Trollhunter first before Autopsy of Jane Doe. They say comedy can be hard to translate across different languages, but it worked just fine for me.

This seems like rather solid evidence that I was wrong. And vaccines losing their effectiveness isn’t an argument against the threat of a zombie apocalypse, which is what kicked this off.

One possibility is that they aren’t actually obsessed with representation and diversity but like to act as if they care about it more than they actually do.

Genji is renknowned as the first novel, but not necessarily the best. The Four Great Classical Novels might have better odds. I suspect that poetry tends to suffer in translation since so much of it is about how one says something rather than the meaning being conveyed.

You’re right, although the stuff about falling under his sway is more the book than the movie. The movie sort of sidelines her character in order to focus more on Hannibal.
