    Got a call from AISD a couple of hours ago that Officer Pastore's funeral procession will start tomorrow at 8 am at Mopac/2222, and staging will begin at 7. They're calling to give everyone a heads up because of traffic/school bus schedule delays. Does anyone know if the roads shut down at staging time or procession start time?

    I fucking DIED at the story about the almost fight in the Senate yesterday. You have to be a special kind of moron to challenge - to fisticuffs! - a man who is not only president of the Teamsters, but who is named Sean O'Brien and is from Medford. THAT's the guy you want to pick a fight with? I was talking to a friend about this last night and this morning she sent me this TikTok and said "this is you talking about it last night." Yes, yes it was.

    I really didn't get the horror classification of this one at first. The whole time I kept waiting for something really crazy to happen. And then.

    Title of your sex tape?

    Was this the case with the cab driver? I thought he was just a random person drawn into the whole thing, but maybe I missed something.

    Ugh, I'm glad I read this thread before watching the series. The book was great and I don't want this to ruin it. God help us if they try to adapt Cloud Cuckoo Land.

    This is exactly what I said - from the first botched hit to everything else. Some other thoughts: I do generally like Fincher. Just didn't love this one.

    One to add to this list - They Look Like People. It's super low-budget indie horror, and the friendship at the center of the narrative really makes the film. I laughed out loud at some parts, which I definitely wasn't expecting. It's free on Tubi.

    What an absolute dickhead.

    I really enjoyed this A24 film - I read a list of horror movies Mike Flanagan recommends and this was on it, and I've been thinking about it ever since. Want to do a rewatch soon. And there's a creepy song that'll get stuck in your head.

    So good, though.

    The lead actress is really great, but this was one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. It had an interesting premise but just didn't work for me. I read about Lake Mungo in a list of movies that Mike Flanagan loves, and noticed it streaming on Shudder so I watched it last night. It starts as a "documentary" about what happens to a family after the daughter dies, but it turns into something else as it goes along. I enjoyed it a lot and will be thinking about it for a while.

    Hell House, LLC (Prime) is a pretty good found footage story.

    This article details all the Poe references in the show.

    It's an expanded version of the story The Fall of the House of Usher. Different Poe stories/poems are heavily referenced in each episode, and in this universe, they all come together to form the larger story of how the house of Usher fell. Obviously, many liberties are taken with the details. It's not perfect, nor my favorite Flanagan vehicle, but I still enjoyed it a lot. If you're a book nerd and Poe fan, you'll find it interesting, at minimum.

    Finished last night. I generally liked it, although it's not my favorite Mike Flanagan series. This (very spoilery) article outlines all the Poe references throughout the series if you want to brush up. Some general thoughts.

    Hamish Linklater is amazing in Midnight Mass. I was really expecting him to get more awards for that performance.
  18. austingirl
    No, that was 2021. Last year was Midnight Club.

    This works remarkably well as an eclipse viewer - I did this in 2017 and I just made a new one. Working great. Use an actual pin to make the hole in the foil - you may have to experiment, but if you use, say, a writing pen to make the hole, the image will be blurry.

    I have some thoughts but I don't know how bookfaggy we want to go so I'll spoiler. I'm 4 episodes in and the most useful analysis, IMO, comes from Poe's stories.
  21. austingirl
    A bunch of those kids are in Fall of the House of Usher. I liked Midnight Club enough but it could've been because of 90s nostalgia. It does end on a cliffhanger and they didn't renew it, fyi.

    If he didn't fuck Nia Long when they were together on Fresh Prince, then everything I thought I knew about the world is a lie.
  23. austingirl
    Definitely a top 3 episode for me. So much greatness. "I've never been to pride. But...I don't think Sean has either."
  24. austingirl
    I actually think it's Stede.

    Adam and the horses cracked me up. "Their faces are a totally normal size." 😂 I did shed tears in the finale. For the most part*, it was a great way to wrap everything up. And I loved Isaac's character and was glad to see him have a major role this season. *
