In director Baz Luhrmann's contemporary take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have moved their ongoing feud to the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, where Romeo and Juliet fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains.

[TRAILER] Walter Paisley (Dick Miller) doesn't fit in with the cool scene at the beatnik cafe where he busses tables. He attempts to woo his beautiful co-worker by making a bust of her. When his klutziness results in the death of his landlady's cat, he panics and hides its body under a layer of plaster. But when the gang at cafe enthuses over the resulting artwork, Walter decides to create some bigger and more elaborate pieces for which he will need... fresh materials to work with.

The Brothers Sisters are in focus this time, or rather, are doing the focusing, because the episode is structured as a documentary made by them about being suspected of murder by our podcasting sleuths.

A list of horror highlights by streaming service! Each of these services has too many to really cover in total, so I am highlighting just a few favorites for each, largely bypassing the better known stuff (though obviously fellow true believers may have seen most of these even so.)

The sun hangs low in a hazy sky, casting a sickly yellow light over a desolate landscape. Rusting remnants of civilization jut from the cracked earth—twisted metal and crumbling concrete, draped in a tangle of ashen vines. In the distance, skeletal towers loomed like silent sentinels, their once-shining windows now shattered and blackened. The air is thick with an acrid tang, a reminder of the cataclysm that has scorched the world, and faint echoes of distant winds carried whispers of lost lives. "Well," Jaxon said to his three-eyed dog Loco, "At least there's a new season of Grey's Anatomy."

The waiting is over! It's time once again to perform wacky random tasks to earn the appreciation of the Taskmaster, thereby being doled out valueless points so we can win a cheap likeness of the Taskmaster's head! ...Or, more accurately, it's time blablablah random tasks vicariously, by watching five unlucky comedians attempting said wacky shit, blablablah etc. Let's welcome to the stage: Andy Zaltzman! Babatunde Aléshé! Emma Sidi! Jack Dee! and Rosie Jones! Their time starts NOW!

I can't imagine there are more than five or six people in the world who a) are registered voters, b) haven't decided who to vote for and c) are watching this debate. Undecided voters don’t watch Vice Presidential debates. They’re busy eating paste and struggling to unzip their jackets. [view]

Circling back to the Obamacare bit: what I remember is that Trump withheld funding for ACA navigators and advertising/promotion during his first year in a direct and explicit attempt to strangle it by lowering signup numbers. To claim now that it was already collapsing on its own, and that Trump saved it by doing the opposite is maddening.... [more]

I hate that this is true, and that the NYT broke this just now: Tim Walz Said He Was in Hong Kong in 1989 During Tiananmen. Not True. Not even adding the NYT link. Fuck them for dropping this right before the debate. It's upthread if anyone wants to find it. Throwing a gotcha right before the debate is some fucking shit. [view]
