Well done, Scrappy!
Be gone migraine!
I'm trying to get some motivation happening, and it isn't. Maybe a shower?
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Happy Birthday, Teppy!
Happy Birthday, askye!
(I feel like I should have known/remembered you share a birthday.)
Totally unrelatedly, if I really dislike jump scares is it worth it for me ever to see Cabin in the Woods?
It's not super jump scary. It's more meta-narrative tropes.
Emily, I watched it, because of Joss and Drew Goddard. I get that they were supposedly trying to satirize the slasher genre, but I walked away wishing I hadn't bothered.
It is ultra-gory. I don't know that I think they truly satirized it as much as they simply played in the sandbox. I can't remember if I thought there were jump scares, though.
It's been a long time, but it seems to me a lot of reviewers liked it (or at least liked it in the context of what it is). I remember thinking they just got roofied by Whedon and Goddard's gift for dialogue.

I'll pass on the jump scares.
Cindy, askye's birthday was last Sunday, and Epic's was a couple days ago. I feel like Teppy might share hers, but drawing a blank.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I don't share mine with another Buffista, unless someone is keeping a secret.

Cabin does have scares that is true. I have to disagree on the satirizing through. I think that did an excellent job of satirizing the horror/slasher film genre. I do think it was definitely made for people who have seen a large portion of that genre though, so if you aren't in that camp I think a lot of what they were playing at would be lost.

To the surprise of no one, I feel the same way. I love Cabin In the Woods; it's one of my "comfort movies".
However, it is gory, and it does have jump scares. So if those aren't for you, don't watch it.
Speaking of horror movies, I finally saw Us, and damn. So good. I want to watch it again so I can pick up on the foreshadowing layers.
And and and, Midsommer comes out soon! That's the movie I'm most excited for right now.

Thrive to spite them
My birthday was last Sunday. The only person I know I share a birthday with is Tupac.

Always Anti-fascist!
Emily, thanks. I mean, if a realignment came along, I wouldn't fight it, cause I hate the chill, but I don't need anymore interactions to Work On..he knows where I am, too. Coolest people I share a birthday with: James Gandolfini(RIP) and The New York Times

So I'm very stupid. Is Teppy's real birthday actually today?

No, it was yesterday. Today I'm 48 + 1 day.
