Hollywood superstition that films with questions marks at the end do not succeed at the box office.

Or you could say judge Doom is the person “who framed Roger rabbit”

Interestingly enough, the book that it's loosely based on, Who Censored Roger Rabbit? actually does use a question mark.

The common houseplant Devil's Ivy aka Pothos isn't actually called Pothos, its proper name is Epipremnum aureum. It used to be classified as part of the pothos genus but it got reclassified in the 60s but everyone still calls it Pothos.

I actually went to a nursery today to try and buy some but they didn't have any Pothos at all, just lots of this Epipremnum bullshit. I didn't think to google it until I got home, lol

They should at least have put "Pothos" (in quotation marks) on the labels! Boooo

You can also obtain pothos by asking anybody who has a pothos for a pothos. It'll just take a little while until the cuttings take. I got a full plant when I moved into my dorm in 1995; it's still going strong, and so are all of its clones. They're good plants--enjoy!

I just learned that Chris Elliot is not a pedophile?

I think around the time of There's Something About Mary someone told me he'd been arrested for molesting kids. I never saw him in anything else after that, so I assumed it had been true. But I look him up now, I don't think he's ever been in trouble. I've been grossed out by his face any time I've seen it for more than two decades, thinking he was a rapist.

That's just his brand. Comedic genius but absolutely repulsive. I almost didn't watch Schitt's Creek because he was in it, but they knew how to use his talents properly without overdoing it.

That song is so great. It's about a dude who just has to get the gently caress out of that town. That town SUCKS. It SUCKS. He HAS TO LEAVE. God dammit there's nothing worse than that stupid town. So he spends one last night with his girlfriend, and as he's riding his silver-black phantom bike out of town, he can't stop thinking of the girl, and distracted, he flies off a cliff and crashes his motorcycle. So he's just lying there in the mess of his bike, but his heart is so fuckin determined to leave that boring rear end town, that it literally explodes from his chest, and flies away, away from that awful boring town where nothing really rocks and nothing ever rolls. And I guess he just watches his heart fly away, like WTF

I think also the town might have undead in it, I can't remember. The opening lyrics are, in my mind

The fires are burning and the dead, they are rising way down in the valley tonight

Not going to look it up because my version's cooler anyway.

Total Eclipse of the Heart originally was about vampires AND had the same writer as Bat Out of Hell; so I don't think you are that far outside of the realm of possibility there.
