Rees Mogg is on r4 and there's a massive spooky echo on his voice and a really loud ticking grandfather clock in the background. Never not committing to the bit.

I've just done my Democratic Duty, and contributed to hopefully the greatest rout ever suffered by a UK Political Party. Get Behind Me, Sunak! #Elections2024 #ToriesOut

I suspect that Jeremy Hunt crowing *on the day before the election* that Bramley's tap water is now safe to drink isn't going to be the vote winner he's hoping it is. Absolutely huge "we waited to tell you we fixed our own screw-up until the moment that was most advantageous to us" energy.

📽️ Fellow olds:

What's a video box with #horror art that scared you as a kid at the video store? (And share the art if you can find it, in the replies!)

Some of mine:
House
Both of the Night of the Demons
They Live

I was already well into my teens by the time video stores became a thing where I lived, so covers never really scared me. So I'll just share a few that ignited my love for classic Eurohorror. 1. SHOCK 2. CEMETERY OF THE LIVING DEAD 3. BLACK SUNDAY 4. THE TERROR OF DOCTOR HICHCOCK

Las poll I saw had them at 89, which would be enough to get diabetic old me to break out the alcohol.

You may be right, but from personal experience as a runner of watch alongs on social media, subtitled movies, regardless of quality, always caused less posting because people were too busy trying to keep up with what was being said. Not a slight on Die Farbe, which is really good.

The (sad) thing about Event Horizon is it was shorn of a big chunk of its most over-the-top horrific footage b4 it was released, & that extra nightmare fuel is now considered lost. Pity. You can't go wrong with anything on the list tho, although I think Die Farbe is less likely to get folks posting

OK besides this below and DEVO coming out of the Kent State massacre, what are other facts you have about the evolution of art / music /etc that wouldn't be obvious if you didn't know but, retroactively, explain and/or illuminate a LOT ?

Just me, counting down the hours until we can (hopefully) list the names of every current Tory MP in one post.

Using MOVIE as an acronym, recommend 5 films: (Vincent Price Edition, because I'm a smart-arse) Masque of The Red Death, The (1964) Oblong Box, The (1969) Vincent (1982) I Go Pogo (1980) Edward Scissorhands (1990)

Now I can't help thinking about a match between Don Jr and Hornswoggle, and you wouldn't believe how badly Don Jr is getting clobbered. Or maybe you would ;)

Neil is just rebalancing the universe in favour of all of us who've had copies of Good Omens stolen by "friends" (sometimes multiple copies). The Snoopy Cup just his latest weapon of choice.

Yeah; I also remember an episode of MAN vs FOOD from Butte, Montana which mentioned pasties were a local delicacy due to the city having a lot of Cornish ancestry.

Excellent, in-depth video about all things "Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd", and about how the last shreds of Burton's disguise as an outsider/subverter fell away.

I'd last until either my first embarrassing typo, or until a computer didn't do exactly what I wanted it to do first time. So basically, I'm dead before the end of day one.

Whatever Happened To The Man of Tomorrow? My all-time favourite superhero story. At once a tribute to pre-CRISIS Superman stories in all their gaudy, joyfully ridiculous splendour, a beautiful coda to a comics era that was about to die, & an examination of what makes Superman Superman. Lovely.

Yes; and the vast majority of them were perfectly happy with the absolute atrocities that Zack Snyder committed against Superman as a character.

Denzel is a natural with Shakespeare's dialogue. And Keaton's Dogberry is off-the-charts good.
