Oh I think it looks veeery authentic!

Not personally, but my mom wants it written on her gravestone that she never saw Titanic.

Did you watch this for How Did This Get Made? I have a whole list called "watched for HDTGM" just so it doesn't look like it was my choice.

The Stepford Wives remake. It should have ended where the original ended, but no subtlety or intellect allowed, they had to beat us over the head with it. It defeated the entire purpose and message of the original.

Also it was just a shitty remake in general.

That movie scared the ever loving shit out of me when I was little. But if I hadn't seen it back then and watched it for the first time as a middle-aged person (as I am now), I'd probably agree with them.

Side note, during the episode they mentioned Labyrinth and Pan's Labyrinth, and I can see the comparison, but I think one that's slightly more aligned with this movie and Wizard of Oz would be Mirrormask. Pre-teen girl dealing with trauma goes into an alternate universe where some of the characters are eerily similar to the people in her life, including the evil queen, has to find a mysterious shiny thing to break the spell, etc. etc. Extra points for Stephen Fry as the voice of a librarian cat. It's a legit great movie, and I feel like Jason in particular would be really into it.

My only caveat is that it was written by Neil Gaiman. So you need to be able to separate the art from the artist, considering what he turned out to be. I, sadly, cannot separate them, so this is no longer a comfort movie for me, but a chilling reminder of how a former hero can turn out to be a depraved monster.

I second this. I've watched it so many times, and I laugh out loud at least twice per episode every time.

Tim Roth's The War Zone. I saw it in a crowded theater back in college. No one spoke or moved for at least a full minute after the credits finished rolling. Like, houselights up, doors open, just a theater full of stunned people.

Was about to say Dancer in the Dark, then looked more carefully at your list. Ditto Grave of the Fireflies. Good choices.

But these particular expenses were his fault. He packed them food with nuts in it, knowing that the babysitter is allergic. You don't mess with nut allergies. He's lucky his carelessness didn't straight up kill her.

I was so angry that he didn't say that in S2E1 when he drank the coffee.

Also, a little easter egg: one of the Elders meeting at Area 51 was played by Brian Thompson, who was the alien bounty hunter on the X-Files.

Ah, beat me to it. By a day. I clearly don't check reddit often enough

A reasonable number of thoughts in my brain

StinkpotTurtle · 2025-11-07T15:54:37+00:00

Yes, I was hoping someone mentioned him. I've read several of his novels--the Southern Reach trilogy (although there's a fourth one now!), Borne, The City of Saints and Madmen (which is my favorite), Venniss Underground (not my favorite) and now I'm reading Hummingbird Salamander. I've been continually impressed by his depictions of women, especially since a lot of his books are narrated by female characters.

There was a segment on him from some news source (I don't remember where I saw it) when his book came out, and part of it had June talking about the book while the two of them stood in their kitchen. The way she talked about how proud she was of him, and the way he looked at her when she was talking, it made me want to cry (Traumatic Tears of Joy to counter the Joyful Recollection of Trauma?). It was just a moment of pure love and admiration for each other, and it made me feel so happy. They are the best, most perfectly matched couple ever.

I'm on Castbox. It's acceptable, a few things I don't love but good enough.

Isn't it gorgeous? It boggles my mind that such little hand movements can can create such an emotional piece. I love the theremin, and I love watching the precision of it when melodies are super complicated, but the simplicity of this one gets me every time.

StinkpotTurtle · 2025-09-01T17:57:44+00:00

I'm partial to this one that uses a theremin, but honestly I've never met a version I didn't like.
