Adding to and reinforcing: unspoken learning that the same information can vary in nuance from tone and delivery from one reading to the next, and those nuances can be intentional. There's deeper reasons young kids like the same material read to them repeatedly over different days!

Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return: exclaiming "what is WITH all these DEAD BIRDS?!" sounding much more exasperated than afraid. Then apparently getting embarrassed at hallucinating them and never doing that again.

Children of the Corn V: Field of Terror: congratulations on surviving, here's your victory baby.

Children of the Corn IV: the Gathering: I get that supplying a clinic has challenges and you probably got a good deal, but getting the gurneys with guillotine blades built into them is just asking for the end you got.

Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest: every single Corn movie following should have stuck to using the scythe wipe effect on the credits.

Children of the Corn II: the Final Sacrifice: do not attempt to shelter under your house if your house is up on hydraulic jacks because those kids are definitely going to Wicked Witch you with it. On the upside, you will get to keep your shoes. They're not savages, just faithful in their own way.

Important thread for non-posterity: the best moments from each Children of the Corn movie. Children of the Corn (1984): if you hit a kid in the Nebraska road that you rationalize you don't need to feel too bad about because "he was dead already" be sure to throw the body in the trunk.

There are eleven of those movies. I don't pretend to understand how, but there are. My stupidest project this month is watching them all. So far I have discovered that it only took till the fourth movie to no longer commit to a We Have The Omen Score At Home mood music, which is disappointing.

He once held an opponent's wife's hand in a jar of acid. I heard that motherfucker had, like, twenty goddamn dicks.

The recovery from the person one was mustn't be rushed. Also, it's complicated, just so complicated.

Much dunking on this for the main ingredients, but the little spice I appreciate is the Ted Lasso BELIEVE sign. In the show, part of its Live Laugh Love level inspiration is that the team literally had to reach above themselves to touch it, so making sure to put it below eye level is fitting here.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

The Wiz had a scene where everything in a subway station animates to menace them and the pillars tearing free from floor and ceiling was an Absolutely The Hell Not All The No for tiny me.

Understandable why you explained the flow of the wonderful copyright strike process, but it would have been valid to instead have spent the last 90 seconds just blinking silently after the reveal of your terrible theft of IP.

Peter Jackson's classic film (may it echo in eternity) Braindead aka Dead Alive is why I know Wellington (home of the Wellington Ladies' Welfare League) and New Town (where New Zealand zoo officials take sumatran rat monekys, and probably shouldn't have.)

The family ahead of the rest of us milling about waiting our turn at Walgreens yesterday clearly brought in their young child to be tortured to death. (Upon exit from The Jabbing Room, young child was revealed to still be alive, but grumpy. I just got the arm-mildly-sore-today experience instead!

Look at the absolute fuckery of authors trying to get compensation in the Anthropic suit. When, not if, US media starts deleting vast swathes of archives, it'll give the runaround to fucking *everyone*. It'll take years to figure out.

Makes sense: elite power doesn't actually care about having failsons, they care about making sure the fail- part can never hold them back.

Also funny the first year, but eventually you'd think Ted would actually start grasping how the sport worked.

I know some fans reacted badly but I liked where I thought S2 was going with past the charming there can be dark sides to Nice All The Time surfaces especially with whatshisname's outright heel turn...but then there was the "he's okay again, he just needed luurv of a good woman" and I checked out.

As a nod to franchise fans confused, Michael Myers can show up as a cameo, and Cochran can snap "You're not helping here, go back to Haddonfield and wait!" boom and done. It writes itself!

Another year where I'm angry at the abject failure of moviemakers to realize that what the Halloween series needs is a prequel to 3 that's a supernatural heist movie all about how the witches stole Stonehenge.

The best model jet in my 12 year old self's model collection was the F-106 Dart, a speedy interceptor that had a goddamned nuclear warhead intended for air to air use in its rotating belly compartment. When I get power and immediately revert to 12, I will demand its recommission.

I don't think official style guides recommend yet that if one's going to use the term misandry they also work variants of the phrase "crushed by the stiletto heels of the gynocracy" into their writing, and that's a shame.

Hard cut to Bob Newhart's corpse sitting up suddenly next to Suzanne Pleshette's corpse and exclaiming "thank goodness, it was only a SCREAM, boys and ghouls!" and ending on cackling. The Russos further explained this will be done very tastefully and respectfully and was cleared with their estates.

I don't know if Touched By An Angel had a Mallory Archer character in it but it should have. "Do you want nephilim? Because that's how you get nephilim!"

It's been ten years of enraging things so it's a busy competitive space, but the interminable stretch of 2016-2017ish where Melania Just Looks So Saaaad I Feel So Sorry For Her was probably not a *common* thing (confirmation bias do what it do) but my god it was exhausting.
