This is kind of awful.

Yo, Ho, Ho (And a Bottle of Rum) , Pirates of the Caribbean: Swashbuckling Sea Songs

Fascinatingly awful. There are versions of this song that are genuinely creepy.  This ain’t one of them.

Why not say it with flowers?

If you’re wondering why I linked to that, two words: nightmare fuel. Take a look:

That’s NOT the vendor name you’ll find on the actual product page, mind you. Fancy that.

I think that I may have seen this before, but it’s still worth reproducing.

I’ll add that a psychological horror version of The Wizard of Oz would be at least mildly fascinating to me. I get the general impression that Wicked wasn’t exactly that; and besides, I don’t think that they’ve made a movie version yet.

Well, more accurately: Ted Cruz to the Future – Comic Coloring Activity Book.

This is meant as a bit of a hint to Mother Nature.

So Malaysian animation is apparently a thing?

It is apparently a thing  And, via a reference on Lovecraft is Missing, the American release is this weekend. (more…)

Looks like Black Widow’s getting some work in this one. Also: there are a hell of a lot of hints in this one, so watch out if you have even a mild issue with spoilers.

You Be Illin’, RUN-DMC

We used to listen to this song all the time when I worked for Mickey Dees.  Which is getting along to being a quarter century ago.

I wonder if the guy I worked for is still pissed at me?

This commentary on it is making the show sound really danged interesting, and that’s before they drag Hastur and the Cult of the Yellow Sign in.  It’s just that, you know, I’m way behind on my genre watching as it is.  Who here is watching it?

You never go Full Mundane.

…Oh, sorry: ‘Mundane’ is a specialized slur found in the fandom/SCA/geek community: it translates to Not a fan/SCAdian/geek.  Mundane is in fact a rather rude slur; you’re not supposed to call people by that in public.  I may get yelled at, in fact, for calling Ms. Randa Jarrar a mundane, but I don’t particularly care.  She started it:
