@CactuarJoe What do you think of buckets? Maybe give us 5 options?

• Top 20% best #monsterdon films, evar
• Next 20%
• Middle 20% of Monsterdon films
• Not quite the bottom 20%
• Bottom 20% of Monsterdon films

It's different from "stars" because someone could assign the same number of stars to every film. In this way we are thinking about what bucket it belongs in. Everything can't be in the top bucket.

Might be fun to let us rate old movies during a one-off, catch-up poll. Gives the field more info to work with.

New Peanuts movie dropped this holiday season.

Thanks for all the fun commentary everyone. See you next week

@CactuarJoe I wonder if we could use a 2x2 grid scoring system. Good film to bad film, and fun to comment on to not fun to comment on. Some films were good (eg invasion of the body snatchers) and were not so much fun to comment on because they weren’t bad. And some are good bad, like Clash of the Titans, where they’re super fun to comment on. And others are bad bad like Invasion of the Star Creatures where there’s not much fun commenting.

Give it up, ladies and gentlemen, for The Vampirettes

I mean, I've heard some violin players that made me want to strangle them. But I never did it.

Thanks to my hardware store. New insult unlocked.

This is fantastic. Volkswagen Italy has the very logical Instagram handle of @volkswagenitalia.

This is a slightly cleaner instance of the Scunthorpe problem.

Ah, Bluesky, my sweet summer child.

You're going to enforce your "rules against harassment and toxic content". And then you'll discover that it's the same set of people doing the toxic shit. And those toxic people are connected to really powerful people from a specific political party.

And suddenly you'll be getting calls from really wealthy fascists asking why you're enforcing this liberal bias by squashing conservative speech...

It's so predictable I can't even. There is no neutral position. If you clamp down on all the hate speech and toxic shit, you will clamp down disproportionately on a specific demographic who will throw a (potentially violent) temper tantrum.

The thing is, Bluesky is fundamentally capitalist. They need money and all the money is with the fascists these days. If they clamp down on toxic fascists, they will clamp down on wealthy fascists and their money will dry up. This won't last.

It's not like any water on Earth. You couldn't do dishes with it. At least not dishes as we know them.

The realtor was right. Putting a white woman on a plinth in the bay window really increases the curb appeal.

And here's the scene from minute 13:00 it probably will cause your eyes to roll. It definitely caused her eyes to roll. I've CW'ed the movie because this scene is kinda...grisly.

So if you’re a fan of #Jaws and you like #boardgames I recommend this jaws board game. It’s actually really neat to play. I enjoy it and it isn’t cheesy.

You’re basically 2 teams. 1 person is the shark, and the others are all playing the people on the island (Hooper, Quint, Brody). There are 2 phases. In the first phase the shark is trying to eat swimmers off the beach. The people are trying to run around the island getting swimmers off the beach and dropping barrels to find the shark.

How many swimmers the shark eats in phase 1 before it is found determines how much strength it has in phase 2 and how many weapons the people have in phase 2.

In phase 2 you’re on the boat. And the shark is destroying bits of the boat and trying to get people into the water to eat them. The people are trying to get weapons and shoot and kill the shark.

You can guess how we determine the winning side. ️
