I forgot there’s a time displacement aspect to this movie.

You know, both Char Man and Grave Encounters who are serious about leaving the situation, and even as it’s a story point to have to deal with, it’s also really useful and a good opportunity.

Both of them use it to raise tension. It also helps the sense of identification. C

I’m just realizing there is no way insurance would cover this 😂

In the hospital, sure. Locked in? No way.

Just a basic safety thing, I wouldn’t do it. If you fall? Screwed.

It’s so funny how fast these people are straight up ready to bounce. Fake show? Hell yeah! Real ghosts? Hell no.

Oh, the psychic has arrived! It makes my skin crawl just watching these grifters in movies.
alexpagliuca.bsky.social
I don’t believe in ghosts, and I’m not going in those service tunnels. Something goes wrong down there? You’re finished.

This cameraman is not very good at his job. Constant quick zooms in these interviews. Have you ever seen a reality shoe buddy?

Javier is the best. Perfection. No notes.

The funny thing about this is the host character is toned down compared to many of the people on the shows the film is mimicking.

Oh, the “death awaits” graffiti is corny? You think you’re cool now. FAFO, kids.

I’m just going to watch another movie. It’s a pain in the ass, but it’s my fault, so I can only be so upset.

Heartfelt conversations by the fire with people you love is the whole point of life, pretty sure.

I was going to go to sleep, but I forgot to check my comforter, which was in the drier. It is not dry ☹️

I am not familiar with this show, beyond this clip. This response, “That is such bullshit,” I would love to see more of this when pols are interviewed. Respect to the person doing this interview. Pinning them down, making them stay on subject, not accepting mischaracterization as nuance, we need it.

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

I will only be referring to this as "Stephen Miller's origin story" from here forward.

"Amy, it's gonna be okay? We have the proof."

Amy, I'm with you. My brain would also break if I saw any of that shit.

I like that ending. Something different. Interesting.
alexpagliuca.bsky.social
If Dallas survives and Amy doesn't, I'm going to be very mad at this movie.

Crazy old George is saving the day? I don't buy this.

George is a gangsta. Nothing but respect. He's going to get his granddaughter, and I love that for both of them. I hope he succeeds.

SHUN THE UNBELIEVER!

This is Stephen Miller's origin story, isn't it? He's secretly from Loveland Ohio, isn't he?

DID I JUST SEE A WOMAN BIRTH A TADPOLE?

Dallass decides to drop the expression of his soul deep love, now? Brother, you are a mess. There's a time, and this ain't it.
alexpagliuca.bsky.social
I am 100% with Amy. I'm not going down that tunnel. No way. No how. Shit is creepy enough.

Scotty, get thee to a dermatologist, ASAP. You're going to need more than a cream for that buddy.

Frogman gets a cute young bride? Don't tell the incels.
alexpagliuca.bsky.social
Oh, shit... Is this Frogmen? Frogpeople? It seems like there's more than one. They sound crazy. Scotty got away? Frogman was serious. Jumpin on the hood and everything.

Uh oh, Scotty has the worst case of Eczema ever filmed.

Are we doing a frog cult? We're doing a frog cult, aren't we?
alexpagliuca.bsky.social
Oh, Amy's entrancified, staring into the woods? I don't care what happens with Scotty and Dallas. Amy is funny and chill. Leave that girl alone you amphibious freak. Girl... go back to the car, and lock your ass in there. I would get in the trunk if I had to 😂
alexpagliuca.bsky.social
The will they/won't they is getting thick. Dallas is one obtuse ass. "Is she mad at me?" The sheriff just told you to GTF out of town, and she does not want to end up in a cell.

Damn, "That's why you're going to spend the rest of your life shooting wedding videos." Some folks would knock you out.

Tubi just showed a commercial using the song that got sampled in the song used in the opening of Climax. One of my favorite dance sequences.

It's fun so far. A little on the nose with some of this stuff, but then again, I haven't seen where it goes yet, so...
alexpagliuca.bsky.social
Now the Sheriff is on their ass.

Are we in satire territory? This all seems too on the nose.

Dallas bout to get his ass shot off, walking up into someone's house uninvited. "After tonight none of it'll matter anyway." Not ominous, at all. I need an explanation, if I'm Scotty or Amy.

White people and wandering around in unfamiliar woods at night. I am a white people, and I know better. Even if you're not going to get grabbed by a cryptid. It's just dangerous.

A dude getting hired to hoax people is funny.

That old lady legit said, "Leave town while you still can." 😂😂😂
