06-26-2017: Heatwave the 13th - "The Final Chapter" Edition

[Jason]

Last day of heat wave! Now it's only going to be "my life is miserable" hot, as opposed to "kill me plz" hot.

[Tiggnutz]

If I can make it through this week I'm back on vacation next week.

[Ava]

High of 92 here. That is as hot as I want to go.
I'm happy. Finals week is over with. WOOHOO!

[Ava]

Looks like Netflix put up a new horror Anthology XX. All four tales told from a woman's point of view. ?? I love anthologies but that description makes me not want to watch it. I don't care whose point of view it is as long as it is horror!!

[Jmac Attack]

Been in the 70s and breezy since Saturday. Perfect weather. Thank you tropical storm! I hope all you guys experiencing a heat wave, get some relief. Ambers friend lives in AZ, and she said her trash cans melted.

Heatwave gone here too.

Heatwave gone here too.

How was the weather in Japan while you were there? You were in Tokyo, right? My cousin was a model over there, but I have never asked how the weather was.

Hot as hell and humid and sticky. Very hard to handle for a Swede. Was properly warm with an inescapable pacific heat. Very tough.

I read somewhere that Tokyo has very similar to where I live. I just looked and it seems that their winters are a lot warmer but summers aren't quite as hot. We have been lucky this summer. We did have two weeks of temps 85-90, but not bad for June at all.

It's ok, I think I enjoyed the first segment, because of it's simplicity and how dark it went, but the remaining stories just felt average.
If I had to rank them from best to worst? 1,4,3,2

All this heatwave talk and i'm over here dealing with massive rainstorms and flooding.

I only liked one minute of that first one, the table scene. Hated the rest. Second story was by far the worst. Just stupid. Even the gal from 2 1/2 Men who I tend to like didn't save it for me. I liked where the third story went, that transformation, but it was like An Ash vs Evil Dead episode in that as soon as it gets going it ends. My order would be 3,4,1,2 but really all of the stories are just pretty forgettable.

[Reign in Blood]

I think it was netflix that the reviews were pretty savage on XX, coupled with the whole feminist angle they were pushing for it, I didn't bother. Sounds like I made the right call!

[Headhunter]

Pretty sure horror had already filled its feminist senisibilities quota decades before it was even a discussion. Other genres needed to catch up if anything.

i tried to watch xx but it was bad. i didn't finish. for horror directed by women, i'll stick with the soskas or something.

Bit milder due to the Pacific Ocean.

Without a doubt The Descent.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

I will watch XX for the challenge, and no other occasion.
