I will do that, too. My spare glasses are blue, so I could even wear those. :lol2:

Longer dresses? Really?

Yes, really. It's not the most surprising thing, I would have thought.

Blue, you know, is very much associated with the Virgin Mary. Just add a blue shawl to your navy outfit.

Here’s my take on defeating Jason Voorhees once and for all. This assumes that you’ve already captured Jason.
Disclaimer: The only Jason movies I’ve seen are half of Jason Vs Freddy and a video about every kill from Jason X.

Take Jason. Take a box. Put Jason in the box. Put cryogenic fluids in the box to freeze Jason. Weld the box completely shut. Put the box at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Bury the box. Never mention it again.

It’s just that simple.
Black lives matter

Recommend me shoegaze and ambient music.

Maybe after Houdini makes his greatest escape yet. Escape from death.

He already escaped death. He's just hiding out somewhere with Jimmy Hoffa and Tupac.

No, it is a correct representation of an angel, unpolluted by later Roman corruptions of the evolving Christian faith. Winged human figures normally were already a thing in the Roman Empire back when it was still happily pagan, judging from recovered wall frescos and other art found by archeologists.

If they can do it well, I will eat my words, but if they throw the horror out in favour of just more action, I will be truly disappointed.


I’m still getting a touch of trauma from the Predator remake

It was just too casual and upbeat; and there was a... a bit of a Transformer vibe... to it (didn’t mesh well)

Not my cup of tea

I really hope they handle the franchise carefully. They should stick to the sorts of themes and atmospheres that made the originals such successes.

I hope so too. I will endeavour to watch whatever they create, and report back here whether it is a disappointment or not! :P

That's weirdly accurate. Although they were more concerned that I should maybe wear longer dresses, and apparently blue really isn't my color.

Still, it was a very strange exchange.

Sounds to me like they didn't really care what you had to say. That'd drive me up the wall if it were me, there are few things more frustrating than people effectively ignoring everything I would have to say on something meaningful, and then have them go all judgmental on clothing choices. It'd definitely put me off from returning next time.

It was a little strange, but I'm still going to return again. Just with more blue to protest, and a longer dress. It's not too offensive that they were trying to help. And it's not necessarily my place to have much to say anyway (1 Peter 3:4).
