Prom Night (1980)
In today's review, I find drama and murder clash with the most important night of a seniors life. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1980 slasher Prom Night #LeslieNielsen #JamieLeeCurtis #DebbieGreenfield #CaseyStevens #BrockSimpson #EddieBenton
Childhood can be challenging on its own, yet if you can survive the perils of youthful naïvety, you get a dose of the drama and danger that is present in your adult years. These scars, and traumas can stick with of, moulding us into the people that we are today, if we make it out that is. In 1980, as the slashers started to pick up steam, a high school in Canada dealt with a buried secret, and a…

Our Feature Presentation: "Videodrome"

Starring James Woods, Deborah Harry, Sonja Smits, Peter Dvorsky, Les Carlson, Jack Creley, Lynne Gorman, Julie Khaner, Reiner Schwarz, David Bolt and Lally Cadeau.
[Had to do at least one movie for spooky season. I went physical with this one and watched the new 4K remaster from the Criterion Collection. It's also available in HD via The Criterion Channel (along with the full extras package from the physical release) until at least the end of November 2023 or you can stream the film in HD on its own on Peacock.]

Herein lies the concern that many others in the disability community have with so-called "positive stereotyping." "More than being inaccurate," the disabled scholar David Bolt writes in "The Metanarrative of Blindness," "cultural representations of extraordinary senses serve, at best, to render magical the talent and achievements of people who have visual impairments and, at worst, to justify the ascription of various animalike characteristics" to them.
"This cultural expectation to be a 'super-crip,' or to turn some experience of disability into a superpower, circulates in a lot of the narratives we tell ourselves," Kolb says. She tells me, "I used to make jokes about becoming 'bionic woman,' like I was getting access to a new superpower or a new range of sounds and sensations after getting my cochlear implant several years ago."
Ultimately, Kolb came to believe this resulted from societal pressures for disability to be "an experience that in some way must transcend itself, or lead to 'overcoming' technological interfaces or superpowers of some kind, rather than being just an ordinary part of life and ordinary human experience." She insists that "we need to learn more ways to talk about it in an ordinary, everyday way" — largely so that people can take pride in their identities as disabled, rather than feeling like they're doing something wrong if they can't cure it.

Tips And Tricks For Achieving Home Business Success
Many people are realizing how much potential there is in running a home business. That said, you will have competition - sometimes from the big guys! This is why you have to learn as much information you can about how to be successful. The only way you can do that is to stay ahead of this game. Remember that you can deduct expenses incurred entertaining clients, including things like treating them to dinner during a business meeting. Many of these types of meetings are considered to be tax-deductible business expenses. Any expenses involving clients or potential clients are normally tax-deductible only when they can be deemed as a paying or likely to pay in the future client, so exercise caution. If your home-based business requires you to drive during your working hours, be sure to track your mileage and collect receipts for the gas required. These expenses are 100% deductible when you do your taxes. You have to be able to show that the trip was required for the business. You should wear nice clothing! Although you may feel like wearing pajamas when you work in a home office, don't. Treat your home business like you would any other workspace and dress appropriately. By dressing up and feeling great, you will be on the right path to making your business as successful as possible. Be at your best when you have a home business, even if you don't leave the house that day. Running a home business has the potential to be fulfilling, but if you prioritize work over yourself, your self esteem could surface. Shower every morning, get your regular exercise and keep snacking limited. This advice can not only boost your self-esteem, but it can also affect the way others see you. If you are interested in starting a home business, but not sure what type of business you want to start, the Internet can be a great resource for business ideas that have been proven to work. However, you should also be aware that there are a lot of home business related scams on the Internet. Some scammers sell you things that can be found for free, such as government resources. Some business ideas are just pyramid schemes, looking for an uninformed sucker. These are lots of complex scams that want you to pay for high paying work that doesn't exist or pay some tuition for online classes that don't help. Avoiding pitches that sound too good and you'll be safe from the majority of scams. Come up with daily goals. There probably will be things you cannot get done, but you should be sure to set goals that you're able to reach. Also, try to balance your home and work life during the day. You should have a short paragraph stating your goals for your business objective, keeping it to a couple brief sentences. Putting this in writing will give people a clear idea of what your company is about. In this paragraph, include what makes your business stand out from the competition and what you hope to accomplish. Make the most of your creative talents by starting a graphic design company, and market to other businesses in the area. A lot of local businesses will hire independent designers instead of companies because of the personal service and flexibility. texturestudios.net overlook this competitive advantage. While conducting business in comfortable clothes may be fun at first, you may find yourself missing the professional attire required at your previous job. Be sure you go out and have fun from time to time. When starting a home business, sell a product that fulfills a need. Customers want to buy products that solve common problems they face every day. If you develop a solution to a common problem you face, your product is sure to be a success. If you search online, you will discover a variety of forums for the home business owner. Make a point to visit message boards and online forums; you should look at those that are directly related to your field and those that may be a little different. You will find that helpful business advice will come from unexpected places. Even very different businesses can teach you something good about home business. This article should help you rise head and shoulders above the competition. You must be continuously seeking new knowledge in order to keep up. Find information and new strategies.

Because I'm trans and gay, I have this weird thing where I don't know if I'm attracted to someone or want to be them. I had this a lot when I was younger , as what I thought were crushes are actually gender envy.
I remember being obsessed with male fictional characters, and I wanted to dress and be like them. So I made a venn diagram... these are ppl of the top of my head and probably not all.

When I’m gone i want every future American child on earth who goes to school to know that this place was ran by shitty people. Shitty people who were literally nicknamed named “genocide Joe”, you don’t get a fucking nickname like that by doing your job correctly. I hope that America changes in the future. I hope that people remember what our government has done wrong and vows not to let their government simply let almost 30,000 innocent men, women, and children die off in the most horrendous ways imaginable. These are just statistics man. These are people who were painters, bakers, musicians and more. People who were excited to go to their siblings baby shower, who were anxious that their school crush was gonna reject them, people who were violently grieving before this genocide, and found happiness in the mundane. These people went to schools and made plans for the future, made dreams to help their families, and so much fucking more. You cannot allow this. You cannot condone this. You cannot believe that a newborn child who lived miles upon miles across the ocean away from you was gonna grow up to be some super villain and deserved it. You cannot believe that. You’d have to be the stupidest most willfully ignorant person on earth to believe a five year old deserved to die in an air strike.
***this is not a place to promote antisemitism. I have seen many people use this genocide as an excuse to be antisemitic.

This is part 6 of a poll endeavor to discover who is considered to be the best Marvel casting choice.
I will do this until I’ve done the entire MCU before moving on to the Fox and Sony universes.
Please stick around and help me in this effort as the larger the sample size the more accurate the results will be.

Solid Home Business Tips You Can Use Today
Like anything else, starting your own home business is easier than you think if you have the right advice. The following paragraphs will help you begin your business. Remember to stay on go now when working from home by not getting caught up in non-work related activities during times when you should be working. Don't make long phone calls or work on home improvement projects. Refresh your mind and body with active breaks like a short session of exercise or working in the garden. Finding the right product for your business can be difficult. Think about products that make your life easier as a start. Highlighting a need is your number one step to picking a successful product. Just think about it. If there's something you need, other people probably need it too! When you are working from home, you need an office. You can use a small space if you'd like. Just make sure it's someplace you want to go. An office must be quiet, organized and inspiring. Avoid worrying about size, any size can be suitable. Always have an emergency fund for your business to avoid cash flow emergencies. Your business could eventually run into unexpected circumstances where you will need quick access to cash. Having an emergency fund will ensure the continuity of your business. However, the emergency funds should be used for emergency only. Create a detailed home business plan. This plan may experience changes over time or be cast aside in favor of a new one. This plan will help you get organized and go through the process of creating a business with a clear goal in mind. You should occasionally review your business plan and update it if necessary. Effective Internet marketing is crucial to the success of your home business. There are several ways you can take advantage of the Internet to promote your business. Write articles that are related to your niche and post them to article directories and blogs. You can also distribute email newsletters to your customers. The result will be increased exposure and increased profits. You will need to come up with a fair pricing system for your merchandise. If you plan to create your own product, being able to know how much it will cost you to make it is important. A standard formula for finding this is to use the production costs of your product and to multiply that by two. That is how much you charge to buy your product wholesale. Multiply the cost thrice to find the retail price. SEO is the best way to improve visibility on the Internet for any business. For people who wish to market online to a large network of individuals, SEO work is key. There are a wide range of resources available to help you implement SEO for yourself. Creating realistic expectations of your home business will help you stay in check with your opportunities. Is your product quality, and can your product continually gain interest? Can you be an ethical and responsible businessperson in the business you are looking into? While setting up your business at home, do research on rates charged by your local competitors. Take the research you have done to set your own rates. Set your prices at rates that will make you money. A key home business suggestions is to look professional whenever possible. An unprofessional website is the fastest way to lose customers. Always look for successful websites to help determine the best ideas for building your own. Does your home business sell used books? You can sell books on many websites for profit. You'll likely want to utilize multiple sites. Assess how well these companies do their jobs. Rate them for customer service, how reliable they are and how quick they deliver. Compare the prices offered on different sites to make sure you will be competitive. To get the best service, you may end up having to spend more. Security and safety standards are just as important for a home business as for any other business. Your family's well being depends on it. You might need to buy safety equipment and create policies concerning who can use your space. Taking the proper steps will keep both your business and your family from unforeseen accidents. Your business is always prone to being inspected, even if your office is in your home. As the beginning of the article stated, so many people are looking into starting a home business of their own. Success may be a dream if you are uneasy about how to go about a business.

Halloween, 1986
You check yourself in the hallway mirror for what feels like the hundredth time in the span of ten minutes. You adjust the poofy sleeves for the nth time, fiddle with the hair pieces again, and make sure the necklace is well centered. You know you’re being ridiculous, but your blood feels like it’s full of static and you’re considering going back to the bathroom to wipe the blush off your cheeks. The heat in them makes it feel redundant. 
You rush into the kitchen to look at the time on the stove before noisily making your way back to the hallway mirror to fluff up you hair. It’s not really your hair; Maggie from Genealogy somehow just happened to have the perfect clip-on hair extensions for you, that also just so happened to be curled just the way you needed. You’re honestly still shocked and still suspicious, but if there’s one thing you’ve learned this year, it’s to not look a gift horse in the god damn mouth. 
When you check the time again, you huff and reach for the phone on the wall next to the fridge. You’ve just dialed the first three numbers when you hear the head-splitting buzz announcing someone’s arrived at the door downstairs. 
You run to the front door, stuff a handful of twenties and a lighter in your bra and run out the door. 
The stairs are an unexpected challenge—even when you grip as much of the gown’s skirt as you can, you nearly fall down  three flights of stairs about five times. 
When you finally manage to make it through the building‘s lobby, you have to take a second to just. Look at Eddie. Take him in, just for a bit. 
It had taken weeks of pestering, convincing, and literally reciting essays to Eddie to get him to agree. Not only to do a couple's costume—that's too cheesy, he said, I have an image and reputation to maintain, he whined—but to dress up as fucking Jareth. 
You're only human. It's not like anyone with a pulse can resist David Bowie.
And in this moment, staring dumbly at Eddie in a ballroom get-up, with straightened hair, you're not sure how you're supposed to resist him, either. 
When Eddie looks up at the glass door and, consequently, at you, you choke on your own spit. You can hear him burst out into laughter, and the sound shocks you from your stupor. You burst out the door. 
"Hey! I almost fucking died! Don't laugh at me!" You shout, smacking at his should with both hands. 
"I yield, I yield!" he cries out, still laughing. 
When he's finally recovered enough, and pulled you out of the way of the building's door, Eddie holds you at arms' length. It's his turn to stare at you now. 
And stare. 
And... stare some more. 
You shuffle nervously on your feet, and clear your throat. 
"H-hey, c'mon, you're making me feel like I'm doing something wrong."
"No," Eddie says, so forcefully and instantly that it makes you jump. "Shit, sorry, I mean—no, you're. You look..."
"Strange? Nerdy? Larger?" You emphasize the last word by patting down the many layers of your gown's skirts.
Eddie huffs at you like you've just said the most ridiculous thing. "Magical. You look magical," He says, quietly, moving his hands from your shoulders to your face. "Absolutely enchanting. Bewitching. Mes—"
"Oh god stop," you groan, slapping his hands away and hiding your face behind your own hands. "You've made your point, I'm sufficiently flustered."
"Perfect," Eddie replies, and you can hear the smug tone in his voice. When you peek through your fingers, he's wearing the most obnoxious smug grin and crosses his arms. "That shade of pink looks better on you." 
You make a gagging sound but pull at one of his arms to wrap your own around. 
"Come on, nerd. We've got booze to drink and teenagers to pretend we're chaperoning." 
Eddie starts walking first as he's chuckling. 
"Please, they're going to be chaperoning you."
