I would have said "yes" then I remembered that I did a month of rehab in June. I read 22 books. Special circumstances, but, if the internet distractions get removed, I go back to old habits quite easily.

Yes. It isn't horror, but I love the score to "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." It is in regular rotation for me.

I've watched it. It is... okay? The critter design is silly, but they're offscreen for much of it. The interpersonal tension is the source of most of the horror. I get annoyed when someone casts Jocelin Donahue and then doesn't use her for more than a prop. She's a good actor and deserves more

Hootie and some of the blowfish went to my high school.

Tori Amos went to a different school in the same district and is friends with some people I knew in high school.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I love Monster Energy Satan so much. That movie slaps!

Likewise, Oz Perkins's "Blackcoat's Daughter" has a great tune over the end credits. It might be easier to find horror movies with one great needle drop than ones with a full score.

Robert Holdstock, in his novel, "Mythago Wood" mentions a storyteller who is blindfolded while telling tales, so the reactions around her won't influence the telling.

"Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand."

Food: well, cheating a little by choosing a DRINK - but decaf coffee is just coffee colored water. Fight me.
Movie: Mad Max. For many reasons.
Song: "don't worry be happy".

Courgette - cannot stomach the texture, like eating rotten cucumber

Is Threads a film?

“Clint Eastwood” - to you the flimsy Steve tweet is a funny joke, to me it’s a war crime indictment

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

I bet none of those "cottagecore" poseurs were up before the sun, making and processing 8 pints of chow chow.

Chow chow is a green tomato, cabbage, and pepper relish. Mine is purple because I used purple cabbage. The picture shows 3 pint jars, sitting on a shamrock-decorated linen tea towel, just after the jars came out of the water bath.

Those are four excellent movies. I'd watch any of them again in a heartbeat.

I remember that the "plague of frogs" visited upon Egypt is ambiguous, it could have been lots of frogs or it *could* have been one, big frog.

So Portland Frog is a biblically correct plague!

I remember the huge stink around “Late Night With The Devil” because there was some AI slop used in the title cards. Horror fans were *angry*

Without reading the article, I will speculate that the writer asserts Cash is seen as uncool because of his faith. Standard-issue white Christian persecution complex by the writer.

Once, at a theater I worked at, someone mistakenly left a gap in the upstage black curtains behind a Beckett production. The amount of discourse around the meaning of that gap was hilarious
