We take the candy. Its touch chills to the point of burning. We wander on and face a choice.

@BigToe would lick the trees limbs clean of black ooze if the tree was Swedish.

I just saw the the original A Nightmare on Elm Street on screen for the first time tonight. I can't remember if I actually saw any of them in the theater when I was younger but 2 was the second adult horror movie I watched (first was Poltergeist but for some odd reason I was ok with it as a little kid except for the face ripping scene). The thrill of watching a Freddy movie like a big boy overrode the realization that the movie was constantly bludgeoning you with homoerotic subtext. After seeing the documentary Scream Queen about the young actor who starred in it, I learned this wasn't a mistake. The director wanted to make an afterschool special about the dangers of homosexuality and decided that his vessel was going to be a Freddy movie. WTF.

I’ve been watching Succession on the recommendation of several of you (just began S2). I’ve worked in the corporate sector for a long time and am used to dealing with individuals who wield a lot of power however, I have seen nothing like the assortment of creepy scum on this show.

I am disliking every one of them equally, which probably means the show is doing its job. I can’t get invested in any of them, they can all get written out of the script for all I care. The show’s pace and the way it’s shot, reminds me of The Office, even if it’s a whole other genre (I hate that word).

It’s not to say that some of these characters don’t remind me of the corporate power-hungry, unscrupulous hacks that I’ve had the displeasure of working with (and I have also acted for big family-controlled corporations), but to see such a wide spectrum is just overkill. I’m not sure I want to finish it.

Oh, I see there is a new poll. And not surprisingly all you idiots are walking straight to your eventual grisly deaths. What do you think that black oozing “candy” is made of? Haven’t you all seen Soylent Green? Didn’t your mothers tell you to never take candy from strangers, let alone creepy talking bone trees?

Fools.
