the rare triple negative, folks!! dont miss it

That sentence has two different clauses, a single negative then a separate double negative. If you really wanted to nitpick a comma before the "but" might make it clearer but isn't necessary.

A local record store has criterion blurays of The Third Man and The Man Who Fell To Earth (no booklets, for whatever reason), for $99 each. I was too tempted, but thankfully didn't go through with it.

Back when Netflix was a DVD delivery service I got both of those, should have eaten the 15 dollar disc replacement fee.

Like the whole premise is everybody is on earth is going to die, it's a pretty stark place to start from.

Youtube has the pilot episode of the TV series this was based off, it popped up on my sidebar watching the trailer, you should watch that instead.

Due to a weekend without internet/ a small selection of dvds, I ended up watching the Astronaut Farmer recently. It's a mediocre movie, more of a ham fisted libertarian parable than entertainment, but it ended up being accidentally interesting.

The movie has a lot of "heroic rancher vs the government" imagery, but after seeing the bundy standoff so prominently in the news lately, it was impossible to read those images as anything but rural terrorist endangers his family and radicalizes his children.

I'm fascinated by the way real world events overwhelmed the intended message of the film and sort of reversed it (at least for me), and would definitely be interested in watching movies that were similarly impacted by real world events that happened after the movies were released, if anyone has any suggestions.

SURGE PRICING BABY

It was a 700% markup, at 8:20 in the morning on a weekday. I paid normal rate when I used them on New Year's eve. I used to talk them up because I thought I'd read they cap their markups at double, apparently I was wrong. I've used them during rushes before and always got a warning saying it'd be 25% extra or whatever, nothing this morning. I'm trying to blow them up on twitter at the moment but I only have like 12 followers so that's not really going to do anything.

Apropos of nothing, I feel bad for live musicians at bars. You know they, deep down, want to play their own music they've written. But their audience (you know, white folks in the process of getting drunk) only respond to the covers they know the lyrics to while in the aforementioned process of getting drunk.

Those songs are objectively better because they sold more albums/singles/were licenced more, only posers pretending to be cool want to hear music that's not on a top 40 station.

Northern Virginia residents are all rich and poo poo, they deserve it.

Actually that 10-mile section of interstate used to be part of my commute, now I have to use the subway where today my train was stuck in a tunnel as the authorities had to fix an electrical problem at the next stop. Wasn't that bad of a wait because it was completely silent in the car other than some off-key guy listening & then singing his jams (mainly about beating up that pussy and random sfx) to a bunch of people that just got off work.

I imagine there are people who need to drive through Northern Virginia who don't live in Northern Virginia and tolls that insane makes it seem like it's a special road only for rich people, which is even worse. It's like how rich people don't give a poo poo about water quality because they only drink bottled water from Fiji.

It pretty much is because it's an electronic toll that requires the driver to buy a transponder for $35 (which becomes your initial toll fare), then you refill as needed. I bought one because traffic around here is as bad as any place else in the US.

Oh another good remake candidate, Argento's Inferno. Suspiria's untouchable but Inferno desperately needed a stronger through-line. I'd keep all the Three Mothers stuff since that's sort of an interesting idea that wasn't explored well. Also the giant skeleton thing at the end, and the Keith Emerson theme.

The opening sequence of Inferno is so terrifying to me that I actually don't really remember the rest of the movie.

So, uh, how did Fallon normalize Trump? I don't watch late night talk shows so I'm not really aware of any interviews featured on them. How are people surprised a presidential candidate was given softball questions on a milquetoast talk show? I'm aware that I am not the audience for this sort of thing, but how influential do y'all actually think Fallon's show and interviews are?

Most Presidential candidates don't have as large a body of violent, mysoginistic, racist quotes.

With the majority the Republicans have in the House? There's no way on God's green earth they even entertain an introduction of articles of impeachment, not with the way midterm elections go for the incumbent party.

I think Trump is going to be so loving outrageous in his abuses of power that they'll have to, especially since it'd mean Pence became President and he's the Republican establishments ideal President.

I'm not suggesting a Trump impeachment would actually make anything better, just that it's a likely outcome.
