Finally bought my ticket to see it tomorrow. Can't wait. The keywords on IMDB seem a little focused on a specific aspect though which I bet is not a big part of the runtime.
Storyline for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma from IMDB. It reads:
A queer filmmaker is hired to direct a new installment of a long-running slasher franchise. The director fixates on the prospect of casting the 'final girl" fromt he original movie, and the two women descend into a frenzy of pscyhosexual mania.

Keywords framed in bubbles underneath are "slasher horror", "female rear nudity", "female star appears nude", "female full frontal nudity", "female nudity", with a blue bubble clickable for "7 more". Have not checked how many of those are female nudity related. Perhaps there is the notion of a bush joke, or something related to blood. Let's not get carried away. But I do wonder how IMDB ranks those  keyword bubbles. Because there seems to be a pattern.

If your wild blueberries come from a ghost town, what are the chances that they are haunted?

The space station Deep Space 9 from the Star Trek series of the same name, with the tiel "To Boldly Stay where no one has stayed before...". The old joke used to be "do nothing" instead of stayed.

The Enterprise D from Star Trek TNG above the partial silhouette of  a planet, with a title saying "Earnest Borg 9", if you don't get the joke/dumb pun, be glad.

The starship Voyager, from below, from the TV series Star Trek: Voyager, with the title displaying "Starship Traveller", a reference to a fighting fantasy gamebook (choose-your-own-adventure type) with an eerily similar plot setup.

The namesake ship from Star Trek Voyager from above with a title that reads Dracula 2000's bride number 3 vs the Scorpion King, a reference to the episode Tsunkatse where 7 of 9  does some gladiatorial combat against some alien played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Jeri Ryan was in Dracula 2000 and The Rock starred in the Mummy sequel called The Scorpion king.

I was about to brag that I got 19/23 but maybe my choices were slightly easier to pick. Got it wrong here...
Test your science game result (based on MK1 Test your Might) comparing 2 NES games, with the wrong answer picking Who Framed Roger Rabbit (#618) as better than Remote Control (#326). Score is 19/25. The Remote Control screenshot has a question about Cheryl Sarkisian that reads "WE KNOW THAT CHER HAS ACHIEVED PHYSICAL PERFECTION THROUGH EXERCISE, BUT A FRENCH MAGAZINE, PARIS MATCH, SAYS SHE'S HAD $40,000 WORTH OF WHAT?" with the answer options being "
1. LIPOSUCTION
2. PSYCHIATRY
3. PLASTIC SURGERY". The screenshot for the Who Framed Roger Rabbit game is mostly brown.

What's not to love about shapeless syruppy desserts named after grampa?

A little more than 30 years after the demise of the best brand of cretons (the 4 étoiles brand), the second best brand, Bilopage has similarly gone the way of the dodo. This morning I had my last toast with Bilopage cretons. I shall go on rotating between brands, defaulting to Norel "grandma" style.
Two toasts on a white plate on a grey countertop, one, on the left, covered with the last of Bilopage brand cretons (it's a pork spread, look it up, it's pretty grey), of which we see the empty tub with the lid on the top left. On the right (next to a butter knife) is another toast covered in maple butter (also known as maple cream in Ontario and Vermont, because they make theirs too liquidy, but it is heated and churned maple syrup into a somewhat peanut butter like consistency and color, except it melts with the heat of the toast). On homemade sourdough bread that is 66% whole wheat.

Two different creators I support on Patreon decided to do book clubs this year. It was the sign for me to finally read some Ursula K. Le Guin. It has been long overdue. Bought in an indy bookstore in person because fuck billionaires. cc: @acollierastro.bsky.social

This is the only thing called a tourtière.
A fully cooked tourtière on a stove top. This is a large deep dish meat pie in an orange dish. Some may call it tourtière du Lac-St-Jean but the precision is unnecessary, there is no other kindA portion of tourtière with beets on a white plate on a red tablecloth with a grid pattern that has fleur de lys patterns at the intersections. There are 2 inteewoven grids, one green, one champagne colored. Tourtière is a deepdish pie with diced potatoes and meat, with pork, beef and hare. There is also broth and pieces of onion.

Wenceslaus, Duke of Bohemia, in equestrian statue form cuz, you know, Europe town center (i.e. Prague, or Praha for the locals...). Famously song about on the Feast of Stephen as a king, cuz Duke is more of an ass title (thanks to the Duke of Bordeaux)
The equestrian statue of Duke Wenceslaus of Bohemia, in the Prague town square under a blue sky 50% covered by white cumulus clouds. Three other statue figures are in the frame around the pedestal, a hooded praying figure on the leftmost side, another robed man seemingly holding a book in front, and a tiared holy man in the back, possibly a pope, with the right hand seemingly in the motion of making a cross sign. Some pale colored hotel is in the background on the left, and another old building with darker stone is in the bottom right corner, with a little domed tower on the left side of that partial building.

I'm a pumpkin spice originalist
Slice of pumpkin pie on a small white dessert place itself on a flowery placemat (mostly poppies, orange and red, with some leaves and smaller daisies in between). You can't tell by looking at it but the pumpkin spice blend is based on older recipes that contain no cinnammon.

Once again, stiff sourdough starter is the way to go. Mine survived a 2 day trip from California to Québec and was just used for this 70% local whole wheat loaf. Poorly cut cuz the bread knife I have here is too short.
A mostly (70%) whole wheat sourdough loaf cooling on a wire rack on a grey marble counter, with the blade of a bread knife and a white plastic cutting board with black antislip band partially visible on the right. The scoring is cross-shaped, the bread has been dusted with brown rice flour still should the pattern of the cloth used during final proofing.The same 70% whole wheat sourdough loaf cross-section cut, showing a decently open crumb which may have been slightly overproofed. The loaf is poorly cut due to the short breadknife whose blade is visible on the right. There is a large wicker coaster on the upper left corner, sun/flower shaped wavy petals that have a dark color wicker behind the last layer. The bread is on a white plastic cutting board with black anti-slip strips on both ends. There is a smaller cutting board of a similar make ont he right, all atop a grey marble counter.

It's September so time for apple pie. Yes, the dark spots are flax seeds cuz I'm moving in 3 weeks and I'm emptying my cupboards as much as possible.

It's that time of the year again, I will wait until tomorrow as I have a can of Sierra Nevada Octoberfest beer to drink first. Since I'm moving out of the country in 3 weeks, this may be my last Elysian pumpkin pack. The Great Pumpkin is the best, followed by Night Owl.

I thought Sierra Nevada's Summerfest Lager was just OK so I used the last can to make sourdough bread. It's a little lop-sided cuz I put a lot of seeds in it, the hydration was high and I did not bother to do extra stretch and folds or coil folds.
A loaf of sourdough bread cooling on a square wire rack on an off white speckled counter. The ear is somewhat defined but the loaf has grown unsymmetrically sideways. It has a high seed content of clearly visible pumpkin, less conspicuous sunflower and basically invisible flax seedsThe cross-section of the sourdough loaf with both halves side by side on a white plastic (Ikea) cutting board. The crumb shows  many bubbles of varying size, but none are very big. The ear is more noticeable on the right side, and we clearly see the high seed content (25%) with a decent amount of whole wheat and a slight yellow tinge from Khorasan wheat flour.

Since Kat Dennings does not have a BlueSky account as far as I know, I had to share that on Instagram, she is thankful for this picture of 90s Gillian Anderson, and so am I.

I'm dreaming of a colorful autumn while in a California heatwave.
