Hill House Easter Egg in Carrie
Very small thing but I noticed The Whites’ front door in Mike Flanagan’s new show, Carrie looks a lot like the red room door.

Pigeon Island update
I’ve been speaking with Laura Shepherd,
Parks liaison under Queens borough president. She emailed me today to let me know that the area has been cleaned up and these signs were put out. She says feeding the pigeons is a summon-able offense, but it would have to be caught in action.

Don’t sleep on Colony
It’s seriously one of the best movies this year, especially if you’re a horror fan.
It’s from Yeon Sang-Ho, the creator of Train to Busan, one of the best zombie movies ever.
Colony is zombie-adjacent but it’s an entirely different & original type of monster.
It’s scary, tense, fun & poignant. But most of all, it’s clever & has a very smart protagonist.
It’s at AMCs but also at IFC.
Has anyone else seen it?

The book commercial
I don’t often get to the theater early enough to see it but I absolutely love the commercial about books, despite it being an Amazon commercial.
It’s very cinematic. I also love to read and I love it being portrayed this way.
Does anyone else love that advert?

My newest sleep hurdle
I've always been a bad sleeper. I wake up multiple times a night. When I went to a sleep clinic 15 years ago, my doctor said I wake up an average of 19 times an hour. (Most of those are so brief I'm barely conscious of it.)
I take xanax once in a while but I'm so worried about being hooked on it, it's only when I'm truly so exhausted, I know I need it. (Also when I fly red-eye!)
The last week or so, I've been having a new sleep hurdle and was wondering if anyone here has heard of it/experienced it.
Our brain's always start working when we go to sleep and keep us up - that's nothing new. But lately this is starting *after* I fall sleep. It's like having a fever dream, without the fever. My brain gets extremely focused on a word or a phrase - and I dream obsessively about it all night. I don't know how to turn it off. It's hard to explain - but the closest real life experience I can think of is when my mom had emergency surgery a while back. We saw her immediately after and her anesthesia hadn't worn off yet. She kept repeating a number over and over again and we didn't know what she meant and what she was getting at. It was a little scary. We asked a nurse who told us it was probably something she overheard and just kept repeating it until the drugs wore off.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thinking about Janet, Derek, Janet-babies, the Trolley experiment and going through the green door.
This is all connected, I promise, in a literal shower-thoughts kind of way. Tagging season 4 because it deals with the entire series. Please go no further if you haven't seen the whole show.
I was thinking a lot about the sentient non-people in the Good Place world.
In season one, the residents are all demons, which makes sense because Michael needed some collaboration and some free-will I guess?
In the later experiment, they're deciding how the rest of the residents should be handled. They can't use demons or angels, it's decided. By then, Janet has already made Derek. He's not perfect, but she realizes she's able to make other people, so she makes her Janet babies. Her Janet babies seem more normal than Derek, which is lucky. And they're all controlled (able to be shut down) by a big button. It seems all of the Janet babies are controlled by one button that Tahani presses that one time. Even though Derek & Janet have their own individual buttons. (Efficiency I guess). We don't really get deep in with the Janet-babies - it's surface-level only - which makes me think they're pretty AI-like in the old sense of the world. Not the new-scary, might take over the world world.. They're programmed and don't really have free-will. It also makes it really surprising that Chidi never picked up on that. But I feel John when he talks about dumb-shorts Kathy. Maybe Kathy was only programmed to wear dumb shorts?
But when the Janet babies, have finished their purpose they're 'violently eaten' (absorbed?) back by Janet. I guess because they don't want any husks lying around - it'd be easier than pressing the button. I won't even get into the ethics of sentient beings having their lives ended because there's no more use for them. This is more about how/why and what forms these sentient beings take.
In The Trolley Experiment, Michael snaps his fingers and creates scenarios using live-looking sentient-like humans. First, with them being stuck on the trolley tracks and then whole families in the waiting room of a hospital. How was Michael able to make these people so easily? And why couldn't he just do that, instead of having Janet struggle in the experiment with John/Simone/Brent. Wouldn't it have been easier? Is Michael's magic limited to small scenarios, i.e., would he not be able to sustain it for a whole year of the experiment?
On that note, there's also the green doors towards the end of season 4 when they all get into the real good place. When you go through the green doors, you're wherever you want to be. When Chidi & Eleanor go to Paris & Athens, for example, there are tons of people around. I'm assuming they're not in the real Paris/Athens - because that would cause a lot of problems if dead people just got spotted in these places - so I assume it's all an illusion. (Also, because of the go-kart racing monkeys.) Is it the same magic that Michael uses in the trolley experiment? Are all the background people in places throughout the green door universes instant-non-people who cease to exist when you close the door on the other side?
It seems that Michael/Janet could have used this magic instead of the Janet-babies.
Do I have a fever? Cause my mind gets this messy with thoughts when I have a fever.
If you've read this far, thank you for indulging in my ramblings.

Fellow printers?
I feel like most people here on here do it in the app or on the site. I tend to prefer printing and doing it that way. Are there any other printers here?
Speaking of, has anyone noticed that you can only print the newspaper version now? I miss the clean version.

The Rivals of Amizah King
The Rivals of Amizah King has finally made it to theaters this week.
Is it eligible for the 2027 Oscars? (I'm always fuzzy on the theaters vs. festival release rules.)
Has anyone seen it and/or are you looking to see it this week?
I haven't seen it on anyone's lists.

Echo turns off during games
Hi all,
I have an echo dot (2nd gen) - I have Alexa+. I tend to play games while making dinner. (Jeopardy, question of the day, puzzle of the day, etc..). For the past month at least, it just randomly turns off in the middle of play. And I have to start over although it usually starts from where I left off. It’s been happening more and more lately. I don’t know what to do about it. Any suggestions?
