I still need to get myself to a theater for Sinners. Maybe tomorrow.

My friend just suggested we go see it, but we can't until the weekend after this.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just want to know if it's going to be too gory for me. Everything else about it looks VERY much up my alley, but am I going to be too squeamish to enjoy any of it?

Somebody told me it was Lost Boys level of scary and gory. But I can’t personally attest to that. PMM?

Hmm. I'm trying to remember how gory Lost Boys is. (Which, considering I've seen Lost Boys somewhat recently, I should recall, yet don't.)

I mean, there's certainly gore in Sinners, as well as some jump scares, but I'm not sure I'm the best judge of what counts as gory, as I would say it's not gratuitously gory? IDK.

It’s hard for me to see lost boys as particularly scary or gory at all because it’s one of those comforting movies that I can throw on anytime. But I think when it came out it was pretty intense.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Well, a very brief excerpt from my dear housemate's "exit interview" from HHS wound up on John Oliver last night: [link] (the relevant excerpt is from 3:12 to 3:42.)

Not really how I wanted him to get his thirty seconds of Internet fame, but what can you do?

I do really love that he wore that shirt to work on the day, though.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The Thomas Crown Affair

Steve McQueen or Pierce Brosnan?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

McQueen

I realized I hadn’t seen any of his films.

Without actually clicking on the link, Karl, I did just watch that episode and remember a delightful shirt. Your poor housemate come off like a mensch imo, fwtw
