  • Looks like these folks are out of Brazil. Not much info about them but they're pretty good. I bet this song woulda been considered emo back in the 00s, but I swear part of the chorus reminds me of the 70s classic rock song "Dust in the Wind".

    They clearly have post-punk influences tho. Here's a video of them doing a live cover of The Cure's "10:15 Saturday Night" that's pretty good.

  • Since there's no "Lord StarTron" in Star Trek, I'm guessing this is just a 0 mask. Why put it there?

    • Your average normie's gonna look at that and say: "Star Trek BS, I don't wanna think that much," and forget all about it.
    • Your average Trekkie's gonna mention it to every other Trekkie they know, and thus expand the reach of the flyer. Everyone has at least one Trekkie friend.
    • The intended recipient's gonna look up "Lord StarTron", see nothing, and then out of desperation just add the birthday to the mask and try that number (which is the right answer)
  • If I had to take a guess, I'd say it might be bc that movie is region-locked. That movie seems to be currently available in the US. So on the back-end they probably have one service that delivers the home page but doesn't check for regional availability (poor design!), and only when the movie-specific page is accessed do they check for regional availability. But that's just a hypothesis.

  • The Stand in the Schoolhouse Door took place at Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama on June 11, 1963. In a symbolic attempt to keep his inaugural promise of "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" and stop the desegregation of schools, George Wallace, the Democratic Governor of Alabama, stood at the door of the auditorium as if to block the way of the two African American students attempting to enter: Vivian Malone and James Hood.[1]

    This was before the Southern Strategy, in which the Republicans took over as the preeminent supporters of overt racism.

  • Hateful 8

    That's a great comparison. Another point of reference is John Carpenter's "The Thing" -- there's a scene in Sinners that echoes it. (at least I think so... when I saw The Thing as a kid it freaked me out so much I haven't been able to watch it again.)
