I'm writing about the film The Devil's Bath (Des Teufels Bad) specifically in order to recommend it. I found the production of it to be an absolute mastercraft.

First of all, this movie is not a horror. Yes, it's terrifying. It has psychological horror. There are sequences of gore, violence, even body horror. But it's not "a horror". I would best describe it a psychological period drama.

There's this trope in cinema of "show, don't tell". The Devil's Bath does exactly that. It leaves nothing unexplained. Everything you see, from the protagonist's motivations, to the mindset of other characters, is explained without mystery. And it's done with a finesse I rarely see in film.

What's more is that the sound production and music are absolutely impeccable. The already high emotional impact in watching this movie is elevated so much due to the music.

This film is not action packed. It's slow and methodical. It's almost boring; but nevertheless, you cannot stop watching.

The Devil's Bath is expertly crafted. And I will absolutely not watch it again.

There's something I call a "pill stick", into which you put it in the barrel, jam it into the cats mouth while holding their jaw and then push the trigger. Requires a little finesse but easier than other methods.

Progressives work against progressive agendas by naming pro-safety policies like "don't have police respond to mental health patients" as the Fox-news like "defund the police".

Harris overtook Biden's polling numbers quite quickly. Also, I find that Biden's pardoning of the "kids4cash" judge demonstrates some extreme incompetence and tone deafness".

No, that's incorrect.

It's "Thou are tall" or "Thou art tall"

Nominative   Oblique  Possessive 
Thou         Thee     Thy/Thine* 
I            Me       My/Mine*
He           Him      His
She          Her      Her/Hers**
You          You      Your/Yours**

* Used as an object (It is thine) or historically, when the following word started in the vowel (Thine eyes sparkle like diamonds, Mine ears ache)

** Used as an object (it is hers)

It's making reference to logistic curves and how rabbit populations, which can grow exponentially, will oscillate between a low and high population size.

In short, it explains why some years there are a shit ton of rabbits, and other years, very few.

Dave Upthegrove won his primary by 51 votes. The manual recount was just completed.

One vote was incorrectly counted for Jaime Herrera Beutler. Therefor, Dave Upthegrove still won by 51 votes against the third place candidate, Sue Kuehl Pederson.

Update: The final vote count was a 49 vote difference.

That's not how tax deductions work.

Gates is a dirtbag though.

It's North Carolina, according to YouGov.

Now you don't need to click on a Newsweek link and feel dirty.

I don't think FelixCress is arguing in good faith, but to answer their question, yes.

The film Farha was shown in the Israeli town Jaffa, to much debate.

 

Just a reminder that this happened.

Why is Newsweek continuously posted here? It is not a legitimate news source, it is a tabloid.
