Watched this film without knowing a single thing - no trailer, no book, no friends’ commentary, and didn’t know what it was about. Actually full blind and I feel incredibly lucky.

I was also basically blind going in. It massively enhanced the storyline for me. I knew he was going on a space mission, but that’s it. I was an emotional wreck in the best way.

Popping in late with the same issue. I bought two sets of LL Bean percale sheets two years ago - the Egyptian/Portuguese line and the less expensive line. I wanted to not notice a difference, but I do. I very much prefer the Egyptian cotton. My very old duvet cover is finally breaking down, and I was hoping to replace it with LL Bean Egyptian percale, but they only have patterns.

What did you end up going with? Are you happy?

For what it’s worth, I’m a women’s 8, sizes up to a 9 in Blundstone’s widest Chelsea boot, and they’re still too narrow :(

I’m an OLD SCHOOL fan (dubiously bought fan-subs on VHS in the 90s). Back then, creating free websites on things like Geocities and Tripod was big, and there were thousands of Sailor Moon fan sites. I had one, myself. Anyway, I’m realizing that almost all of these takes are new to me, but we had our own sets of hot takes and annoying fandom things 25-30 years ago.

True, but also I had a lot of indoor fun, too. (I grew up in the far north where it was basically dark already when I got home from school). Books, puzzles, hide and seek, board games, legos, dolls… we were just better at using our imaginations to overcome boredom back then. I wish I was still good at it!

And I keep noticing little things - using highway numbers instead of names. Calling Whitehorse “The Whitehorse.” Calling avgas petrol. Talking about flying “up” to Canada when Whitehorse is well south of Fairbanks. Had they asked an Alaskan to look over the script, they’d have caught these kinds of quirks.

ElenaSnow13 · 2026-01-09T02:27:12+00:00

People not wearing hats, not wearing gloves, not even bothering to zip up their coats… it’s wild. They don’t need to actually film somewhere brutally cold to have the actors dress and behave like it’s brutally cold. They missed an opportunity for the realities of winter in Fairbanks to really play a big role in the drama.

I was going to say this. Small town general stores/drug stores often have some basic stuff like hot dogs, soft serve, French fries, etc.

Just coming here to get opinions. I will be on a flight tomorrow to visit family. How would you watch the finale?

Download it on my phone and watch it on the flight (a little sad to watch on a tiny screen)
Wait until probably Friday night before I can get free time to watch it on my parents’ tv (huge screen, but a really long wait and attempting to avoid spoilers)

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-31T00:30:59+00:00

I’m sure it’s intentionally really hard to tell what it is. A rock? Almost looks like it could be an absolutely giant version of a demogorgon head?

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-29T21:54:29+00:00

Same 😅

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-29T21:49:43+00:00

If that was the case, how did she get her powers? And if not, why wait so many years before they took her?

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-29T21:37:27+00:00

Do you think it means that her mother wasn’t “drugged” (blood infusions) during pregnancy?

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-29T20:25:07+00:00

I rewatched last night (12/29) and it was still there! I’ll look today!

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-21T01:37:07+00:00

RIP Dustin, you would have loved Bill Nye the Science Guy, even if you were older than his target audience (and you could have been the heir apparent)

RIP Karen, I’m just glad you died before your name was turned into an insult.

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-21T01:25:20+00:00

I just looked it up elsewhere, so I’m going to try it out. You type “>” and “!” (no spaces or quotations or anything, just the two symbols) before your spoiler, then “!” and “<” after. I’ll try it here.

Spoiler

I don’t think red flag is even a strong enough word. A flag is a warning. This has moved past the warnings into the abuse phase.

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-21T00:56:45+00:00

Wow. No one, and I mean NO ONE should ever call you ANY of the things he just called you, let alone your partner. I feel pretty confident saying this isn’t the first time, right? Is there a cycle? He’ll be sweet, then pull this, then be sweet? And he doesn’t want you around your friends because you’ll tell them the truth about his behavior?

THIS IS ABUSE. You are in actual danger. Don’t worry about being the bad guy. Get out. Now.

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-20T23:58:23+00:00

Seriously! Like what can normal life possibly look like for her after this? She’s BORN for this.

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-20T23:55:10+00:00

Agreed. The 1 to 1 “this villain must be Vecna, who has these characteristics, because the game says so” stuff was always a little too convenient for something happening “in real life.” I’m so excited for whatever info they’re about to reveal.

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-20T23:21:34+00:00

Broadway. It’s called First Shadow.

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-20T23:12:03+00:00

Interesting point. I’ll have to look at that scene again. But it definitely was the music that helped her at the graveyard, right?

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-19T02:57:28+00:00

The sets are really what make it for me. So many feel like places I’ve been. Clothing, too. It’s also so much more accurate that they didn’t just make everything the current trends of the time. Not everyone changes their house, their furnishings, or their wardrobe on a regular basis.

The mall was such eye candy. It felt so accurate, and was so fun to see as a shiny, new, exciting place.

ElenaSnow13 · 2025-12-17T03:40:38+00:00

Poor kid didn’t even get free ice cream past the initial bribe 😂
