Have to wonder if it's really completely made in the USA, in Florida, or elsewhere. What company or companies are collaborating with the GOP on this.

I liked The Lift more. Down has some odd stuff, noted here:

Such an odd experiment. Better tribute might've been to do justice to one of Hitchcock's unrealized projects.
Digging into your RotR articles now! Films that get remade by same the directors are odd cases, Spoorloos (1988) AKA The Vanishing & Nattevagten (1994) AKA Nightwatch also come to mind.

Some of the short viewer comments I saw online were not the most promising.

The sex cockroach had also-ironically-run on the made-up Women's Equality Party line previously.

Still remember this... did it ever actually win anybody over, pandering to Reaganites? And are there still any Reaganites left among the MAGA party today?

Much of his head is gone in that pic. Strange messaging on their part.

Supposing that if no hot dogs were thrown at him, it was only because the hot dogs were deemed to have more worth than he ever will.

Mid-mystery novel reading right now, but I look forward to checking this out - love a good giallo!

All of the US strategic oil reserves being used up to grease that guy's hair.

Municipality size or vote counts might be good additions to the table at WP. La Guardia isn't listed I suppose b/c he wasn't a member or cross-endorsed when he ran specifically for mayor.

Odd page from odd book, one of the 613 commandments. Pulp fiction was one of the influences on the artist.

Thanks! We certainly have a number of placenames in upstate NY that due to their origins with native peoples or the Dutch are written in old ways, perhaps inaccurate ways, where the pronunciation is counterintuitive.

Director Jaume Balagueró and Álex de la Iglesia as a producer, some promising signs there.
Any idea why the production company is named Pokeepsie Films? I can't think why a Spanish company would apparently be referencing the upstate Poughkeepsie, NY or The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007).

Did not know about Satanazes previously, very interesting!

Haven't seen that at the nat'l park I'm visiting yet, but one supposes the Trump administration has prioritized the parks they most hope to hurt with that message.

"every possible" is quite the weasel phrase. One wonders also if they'd argue (speciously) that "consult with Congress" is satisfied by consulting with only a couple members of Congress rather than Congress as a whole.

Hopefully they will recognize this as an attack by Mar-a-Lago on Iran, not by the United States. I'm not overly optimistic.

Have those Burke stories been collected?

Ran into that with some Wikipedia editors years ago. They'd add something as a fact that they could see from a Google Snippet to an article, not realizing that the context clearly indicated it was satire.

Guess there'd need to be a DoJ desire to prosecute, which seemingly has not existed even under Democratic majorities?

Funny! If the 1st state constitutions are automatically held to have been federally constitutional, it may raise questions, like NY's ban on religious leaders holding civil or military offices. Did FF concern themselves much about radically different provisions?

The first shot or nearly so of the first movie was one, so I guess it's a through line.

Interesting.I know a lot of people were not fans. I thought it was good, and remember having downloaded all the free remixes from the (long gone) official website.

That would be spooky for a kid! Although even looking at another online image of the book, I'm just not seeing what you're seeing! In a window? In front of the building?

Over a decade ago my campus had a social norms campaign, countering common assumptions by students against reliable statistics. In practice it was a bit corny, but it was a decent idea. Hoping the assumptions about student AI use are such a case, wrongly thought to be more widespread than actuality.
