It's probably not a good comparison but I'm reminded of a comics artist by the name of Glenn Fabry who is best known for painting the covers to the DC/Vertigo series, Preacher.

66 All seriousness aside . . . it does induce a reaction from the viewer, either horrified fascination or revulsion, I suspect. No one who looks at it will be entirely unaffected.

The expression on his face is one of surprise, as if he's saying, "Oh, my, did I *really* say that?" or "Oh, my word, did I really see what I think I saw?"

118 Albright has another painting of a fisherman from 1929, Heavy the Oar to Him Who is Tired, Heavy the Coat, Heavy the Sea. The first part of that title sounds like an episode title from a TV drama of the early Sixties, like Ben Casey or Route 66. They went in for overwrought titles in those days like "Imagine a Long Bright Corridor," or "How Much a Pound Is Albatross?"

This is the trap for low end retail. They've been raking in money for years focusing on a cheapskate crowd that can't deal-compare with WalMart, etc - or can't or won't drive another few miles to another store - so that a lot of what they sell isn't a great deal.

Even WITHOUT raising prices/shrink/slashing quality, they're already not attractive to the next couple of higher bracket of consumer. So now the normal customers just plain don't have the money, and the rest won't shop there in the first place.

Lots of interesting discussion to be had with those that go to some of these places (especially the dollar stores) regularly and hearing their justifications. Sometimes it's literally the only store in town, but these places have made a killing on the innumerate and on those lacking discipline to make a regular grocery run.

203 Saw "Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse" yesterday...

Very solid "meh".

Way too much plot. Way too little Betelgeuse.

I think the script must've been assembled by committee from bites of several scripts. You'll go almost an hour without a single laugh cuz we've got to catch up with eeeeeevvvveryone's story, even new characters.

Weirdly, they had almost no idea what to do with Betelgeuse. As a f'rinstance, almost all of the characters wind up in the Afterlife for reasons, and just as it's looks like the Betelgeuse action will get started, he says "oops, gotta go to the little boys room." and disappears from the movie for 5-10 minutes.

Michael Keaton was good in what little they gave him but even he couldn't do much with the lame script they saddled him with.

This is the sort of movie where everyone involved deserves a kick to the nuts or cuntpunt for all the missed opportunities, lame, failed jokes, heavy repetition of those lame, failed jokes, and lame, failed jokes going way way too long.

You'll smile and maybe laugh a bit when Michael Keaton is onscreen for his Guest Appearance.

I didn't hate it. I didn't like it. A first class "meh".

211 203 Way too much plot. Way too little Betelgeuse.
---

Michael Keaton was good in what little they gave him but even he couldn't do much with the lame script they saddled him with.

This is the sort of movie where everyone involved deserves a kick to the nuts or cuntpunt for all the missed opportunities, lame, failed jokes, heavy repetition of those lame, failed jokes, and lame, failed jokes going way way too long.

You'll smile and maybe laugh a bit when Michael Keaton is onscreen for his Guest Appearance.

I just rewatched the original yesterday. So good. Michael Keaton really isn't in it that much, it's mostly just the story of a dead couple trying to drive out a family of pretentious NYC dweebs out of their home. The FX and lighting are freakin' marvelous. And the entire story is told in a brisk 90 minutes.

260 NYTimes Siena Poll: Trump 48 Harris 47. Where is Harris's convention bounce? Translation: how hard did media work to suppress the facts?

They werent so openly in tsf's pocket back in 2020. Polls all come home close to election day, so they can say they were right. They hoped to lull dems into thinking their vote wasnt needed. That burned us in 2016.

She got a bounce. A big one. My guess is that nationally, she's running 6-8 points ahead of Trump, and anywhere from 2-4 in the battleground states, including closing in on Florida and Texas, where there are major voter registration efforts bringing in big numbers of potential democratic voters. It's just being suppressed in polls to keep close, because close polls sell newspapers, or attract eyeballs, or whatever.

I live in the Philadelphia suburbs and I am stunned by how many Trump signs I am seeing even in blue areas. Just starting to see Harris/Walz signs, which did just become available, but the number of Trump signs is shocking and I'm just not seeing the kind of enthusiasm on the ground that I would have expected based on what they are saying on the news. It's nothing like 2008.

Ah. Well, that just points up how they didn't know what to do with the Betelgeuse character.

In the first movie, every time he appeared, it was a memorable scene. In movie 2, not so much.

I guess you'll just have to see it. His screen time is just wasted even if it's the same length time wise.

Maybe budget constraints, cuz there's none of the creativity of movie 1 in those scenes.

The best they could do with the script its mostly turn Betelgeuse into a kind of 3rd rate Sgt Bilko character.

I suppose I would've asked for even less time when I saw the script.

284 if it were not for Dollar General stores, most of those little burgs would have been bereft of any non-fuel shopping location altogether.

I sympathize with the argument, but it does cut two ways. People who live around those crossroads generally appreciate having the DG, but just like WalMart, when they showed up every place else folded. Little storefront general stores used to be all over, and "diverse." There is a dread sameness now. This was parodied with Rexall and Howard Johnson's close to a century ago. It's...what we do. If you grew up with it, it looks normal to you, but this is not how the country used to look.

289 I live in the Philadelphia suburbs and I am stunned by how many Trump signs I am seeing even in blue areas. Just starting to see Harris/Walz signs, which did just become available, but the number of Trump signs is shocking and I'm just not seeing the kind of enthusiasm on the ground that I would have expected based on what they are saying on the news. It's nothing like 2008.

This happening in states all around the country.

Chad Condit humiliated himself in front of the world with his "quid pro quo" story. I think he's lying, but either way, he looks like an utter loser:

Miserable little man humiliated himself on instructions of the Democrat Party.

Weak, silly little bastard. I imagine day-to-day life is going to be unpleasant for him.
