Way more of a straight horror film than I expected, I enjoyed how nightmarish it was front to back, and I was REALLY glad it was not about fucking character development. Not crap. Kinda felt like seeing it again while it's still in theaters.

The Misfits in their original run made some of my favorite music ever, the singing was definitely a big part of why. I also enjoy the early Danzig records, Lucifuge in particular. I don't care for the type of music Dio made. Even Black Sabbath became a regular heavy metal act when he joined. Seemed ...

Exactly.

I don't think the billionaires in arms scenario is a likely one, ever, because the state of the world as it is today depends on the illusion that the wealthy are those of us who succeeded. That's how they get all the misguided empathy and admiration, which are necessary for submission, without which...

People are not going to boycott billionaires out of existence. It's not about getting wiser.

Btw, I don't buy at Amazon, I think it's fucking gross. I also don't think it makes a difference. A difference is needed. Right now

Fuck all that. It's very easy to live like so and opt out. Always has been. (Granted, it's more complicated w/healthcare, but hear me out...)
