I agree with your take. Shitty headline. When I think of “branding” , I think of hot iron burnt into flesh.

I heard he was too busy watching television news coverage to be bothered with all that.

Sorry for your troubles. It seems like having an intimate relationship with a partner should probably be lower on your list. Hope you’re able to work towards a positive direction with your life in general…

When I took acid as a teenager in the 90s, I was tripping balls and realized that entertainment or anything that occupies that mind that we enjoy, in essence makes time seemingly go by faster. Therefor, the more you entertain your brain, the quicker you approach your demise. It really groundbreaking for me at the time. I swore I might just stare at a clock for the rest of my days just to make time seemingly like it passes slower to savor my mortality lol

Oh wow thanks for the extensive list! I’ve seen about half of the ones in your list and will check out the link. I also recently watched The Witch by Eggers. That was a creepy good one.

Good idea! Cross posted!

Ohhhh good one. I remember always liking this one back when it came out and I did a rewatch a few years ago. Still held up!

Do you have a favorite opening yet?

So sorry for your loss 😞

Seeing the clown toy come alive and trying to attack that kid absolutely traumatized me.

I’m gonna have to give this another view. It was traumatizing to see as a child and I haven’t revisited it since.

Yeah that’s something another commenter mentioned. Thanks for the math. I think it’s time to say goodbye to this old thing…

Maybe I’ll try this on my big fridge next. It’s getting close to 20 years old itself but functions fine.

Yeah that’s kinda what I am doing. If I’m using this energy monitor thing right, the fridge is on Day 9 and has used 20.32 kWhs

Thanks for the info. Will def check this out!

Oh well today I learned.

Why not block it and never worry about it again?

Well that changes weekly, but if I had to pick just one to be stranded on a desert island with it would be the original Robocop(1987) - just so much nostalgia personally but a really great satire ahead of it’s time.

Although next week, I might could say the hilarious meta mindfuck Adaptation. Peak Nic Cage, Spike Jonez and Charlie Kaufman - a really fun and wild ride and I love how self indulgent it is.

There’s a post somewhere and one of the admins replied. I believe it’s temp disabled for now while they fix some things on the back end.

Oh gosh I was just thinking the same thing but had to research to remember the name of the movie since it’s been quite a long time since I watched. The Lives Of Others needs to be at the top of the list. I also need to revisit it.

Smiley Face. Great Anna Farris stoner flick!
