I had a legitimately spooky nightmare last night. I was on vacation in an unnamed Italian city. I had read a story in the newspaper about a local museum that caught on fire. As I was walking the streets alone late at night, I caught sight of the museum in question on a corner; it wasn't on fire, but the building next to it was. There were no lights on the street where the museum entrance and the fire were. As I walked onto that street to investigate, all of the lights in the city (including the fire) suddenly went out. I tried to backtrack my steps but I couldn't see where I was going. Then I saw lights at the far end of the street the museum was on, so I headed that way. The lights went out. Every now and then, a sort of spotlight would show up and I'd walk towards it, but it would disappear quickly. I thought about using my phone's flashlight but I assumed that this was all a trap muggers had set up and I would give my position away if I used it. The intermittent spotlights started leading me to a staircase, and I thought "it would be a bad idea to go up there." Then I woke up.

Yes, but they were badass for the entire fifteen minutes they were inexplicably in the movie.

I wish the whole movie was about those guys.

Quote from: Rev. Powell on February 06, 2026, 09:22:24 AMSeems high, but except for paid critics, no one went to see "Melania" who wasn't going to rate it an A++++ no matter what. I mean, would you pay money to see it? I wouldn't go if you paid me.

Perhaps I am mistaken... I thought you were a paid critic. You serve on a critics award panel for documentaries, right?

In 100% sincerity and seriousness, I was waiting for you to inevitably have to see MELANIA for one of your gigs. If you told me it was actually worth seeing, I would probably have to shut up about it! (...Not about Melania being an amoral enabler and opportunist, perhaps, but at least about the movie being objectively Bad...)
