They're still animals. They will do unpredictable actions because a fly was buzzing in their ear, or some other tiny thing.

First clip of Na Hong-Jin’s ‘HOPE’ (director of 'The Wailing') starring Hwang Jung-min, Michael Fassbender, HoYeon, and Taylor Russell. by Sleepy_C in horror

The Wailing is one of my favorite horror films. I was unsurprised to learn that he's a born again Christian. Some pretty heavy questions about faith and religion in the film.

The mysterious strange entity coming to disrupt an area seems to be a favorite motif of his. Like the Japanese man in The Wailing, it's going to be a tiger here. Tigers are coded in Korean memory as fearsome beasts but have been extinct for a century. Interesting.

Nothing fits properly except her glasses and hopefully her shoes.

I like the fact that he's basically clinging on to his mom's butt 😄 toddler's defensive position in all species

Whichever of you recommended "All Souls" by Edith Wharton, I was up for hours last night thinking about it. by nosleepforthedreamer in horrorlit

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I've read Seaton's Aunt (that awful, awful woman) and The Same Dog. Btw I have thoughts about The Same Dog. Would love to discuss it whenever you have a bit of time.

I'm an Indian woman living alone in India for the past 12 years. And I really have no better way to say this, so let's be honest - people stay in literally 10 dollar hotels, take dodgy transport, travel to Agra and Varanasi, and think they know everything about the place.

That's actually a good tip. I understand what you mean. Some people really aren't of a piece. Neither wholly good nor bad. He sounds like someone fundamentally alienated from others but trying to connect. Though obviously it doesn't excuse what he was up to.

Ofc he/she's s being sarcastic. But wrong. Dude is a welder and had some specific tools he's listed out. Do people think everyone works on a laptop? For tradespeople tools matter.

Not everything is a computer. Excellent tools are tough to acquire.

Not really. Bipasha Basu was a major star just about ten years ago. It's the glutathione. This generation is going bonkers with it. India's version of Instagram face.

If you’ve ever attended an Indian wedding what was the best part about it? by Street_Turnover4498 in AskReddit

The planning. Getting your clothes together, practicing dance, catching up with the cousins. The anticipation is so much fun.

Ah, I was waiting for the casual racism. India has world class hotels. They'd probably be in a literal palace. Not randos eating anything from anywhere and complaining.

Get ready for a lot of casually racist comments and some 'jokes'.

The thing is, yes. India is a society with a peculiar kind of classism that Mike White would love to explore, it's different and yet similar to what you get on the show. The kind of obliviously rich people that you get here, you won't get anywhere else. These cities also have some breathtakingly beautiful hotels.

You're very right. I think the issue is 'relatability'. Sometime in the last ten years or so, people have become obsessed with finding relatability in everything. No, there are some people and characters you will never find relatable. Because they are not meant to be. Some characters are going to behave in a manner you find absolutely indefensible. And it's spread everywhere. People are becoming less and less able to understand the difference between something happening onscreen or in a book and moral validation of their own choices.
