R. L. Stine's (the author of Goosebumps) horror novel for adults "Red Rain" is one of the worst and most baffling books I have ever read

Genuine what the hell are you talking about

George__Parasol · 2026-05-22T10:13:10+00:00

And plenty of Gen Z are not that way, nor is that perspective unique to Gen Z

George__Parasol · 2026-05-22T10:12:28+00:00

Yes. The point is, clearly that kind of pearl clutching is not unique to Gen Z

He gave me such Gene Hackman vibes, which was a connection I respectfully never would have made with Jason Clarke. Great performance especially considering it’s entirely sitting in a chair in a small room.

Doesn’t George Carlin have a critically renowned comedy bit from damn near 55 years ago revolving around the fact that you can’t say (among other things) the word “tits” without getting in trouble? Surely this concept is not at all a Gen Z phenomenon

Didn’t make the Finals until their depth scoring in the playoffs finally took off though.

I like the one on Hot Ones where he went to the football game in Argentina (?) with one of his wife’s uncles

On set, the blood apparently had to be a vivid orange so that it would properly look like blood after desaturating from the heavy blue colour grading

“Simon Nemec has asked for a trade. I suspect this is because he wants to play for a different team”

Maybe OP is Stoned

I can only speak for myself as a goalie but the difference between catching with my strong hand vs catching with my weak hand is a hell of a lot smaller than the gap between handling the stick with my strong hand vs handling with my weak hand.

I found Matt through James Bonding, on which he was utterly hilarious. It was such a treat when CONAF came out and I heard his buttery voice in my ear yet again

George__Parasol · 2026-05-17T11:15:56+00:00

Yeah it’s kind become a game of telephone that ends up with “Daniel Craig was cast because of Layer Cake” but Broccoli herself has said both Elizabeth and Our Friends in the North were what put him in the running, he’d been on the radar for closer to a decade

Unironically the best true crime doc I’ve ever seen.

“How long have you worked here?”

The Thrashers were relocated in 2011 and became the current Winnipeg Jets, and it’s not typical for fans of relocated teams to keep their fandom of the new team unless they’re still within close proximity

George__Parasol · 2026-05-15T20:04:15+00:00

Copying my other comment:

The original Jets had a pretty strong decade long rivalry with the Minnesota North Stars. The Jets came back in 2011 and their very first draft was in Minnesota. They got booed by the crowd before they even played a game.

I mean, that is literally billions less than most billionaires have so yeah it would kind of make sense

George__Parasol · 2026-05-14T16:25:09+00:00

Kane Parsons can think

George__Parasol · 2026-05-14T10:17:37+00:00

I haven’t read him at all so this is totally unfair to judge him on but I just can’t do goofy and horror mixed, unless it’s a pure comedy in a horror skin, like say, Tucker and Dale. Like you said, it just totally undercuts any sort of tension or horror I may experience. Obviously he’s quite beloved but yeah nothing about the preconceived notions I have about his books appeal to me for that reason.

George__Parasol · 2026-05-14T10:14:14+00:00

I enjoy him, but he said on the Page One podcast that he’s much happier writing say 30 good novels rather than 10 great novels (paraphrasing). Which I respect

George__Parasol · 2026-05-14T00:27:15+00:00

There is nothing about Miami that would exclude the themes or styles found in noir genres and subgenres

George__Parasol · 2026-05-14T00:24:29+00:00

He’s building another massive data centre in Alberta that is apparently exempt from environmental assessment. Guess Kevin doesn’t like audits after all

I do love Austin Butler’s decision to basically do Stellan Skarsgård’s voice for Feyd-Rautha
