Breaking James With Horror Trivia (Dead Meat Podcast Ep. 181)

[@ace-of-bats]

I love that James is concerned about being called a fake horror fan literally five minutes after confessing that he's homesick for Stu Macher's house.

[@danielsilva-ds2u]

Do you know how long 5 minutes is because I don't think you do.

[@SpeedwagonZaidan]

​@@danielsilva-ds2uplease get over yourself, literally doesn't mean literally anymore, it was clearly hyperbole language evolves over time.

[@danielsilva-ds2u]

@SpeedwagonZaidan I don't think you know what a hyperbole is. It is a clear exaggeration. For example something literally said 2.5 minutes would have a hyperbole of maybe 30 seconds later, or 2 hours later. See this is because both expressions are extremely over or under exaggerated. This is not the case as the og post wasn't off by much, they just used literally incorrectly. Do you see? Something that takes 15 minutes from a hyperbole exaggeration could literally take forever. Or it could literally be over in a minute. But if something says it takes 15 minutes and you say it literally took 10 minutes, your not using hyperbole expression correctly, you just suck at clocking time.

When it comes to Hellraiser's original title, one could argue that Frank Cotton is the Sadomasochist from beyond the grave. Especially when you consider that at the time that title would have been used, the cenobites were still supposed to be secondary characters. It was fan response upon release that turned them into the faces of the franchise instead of one of the Cottons, so it wouldn't make sense for the working title to be all about them

[@charapresscott7750]

Also they're technically from Hell, which you could argue is from beyond the grave.

Jill and Charlie are definitely secretly dating. It still counts as dating even if Jill was doing it to be manipulative. They put time and effort into having a secret relationship despite it being a shitty manipulative relationship

[@levischorpioen]

Yup, agreed.

[@imissimeem]

Came down here to say exactly this, so thanks for typing it out for me.

[@iviebelle]

and even if Jill and Charlie weren’t “dating” you could use secretly dating for Richie (Jack Quaid) and Amber (Mikey Madison) that’s what I thought at first so I even guessed “Best Friends” for the last clue I didn’t realize it has to be 4, 3, 2, 1 but ya know I still guessed it lol

[@jonjonjonjonjonjonjon]

Exactly. People have ulterior motives all the time in dating. For some it’s money, for some it’s sex, for some it’s to not feel lonely, etc. That doesn’t mean they weren’t dating - it just means that the manipulative person is an asshole.

[@jacobskinner3522]

Exactly! Like, if I’m dating someone and then we break up and I find out they weren’t that into me (per James’ requited love requirement), it wouldn’t mean we never dated. Granted, that scenario doesn’t necessarily take into account the manipulative aspect of Jill and Charlie’s relationship, but even then the motivations of one participant don’t change the category of relationship, just the quality of it.

I think the first sequence question is fair - just because Jill had ulterior motives doesn’t mean they weren’t secretly dating. She could have all kinds of reasons to make Charlie think they were dating that aren’t necessarily related to romance and genuine feelings.

And as someone else here brought up, it's the same situation in the 1st movie. Billy is only dating Sydney to manipulate her, and it counts. So.

Poltergeist was the first horror movie I watched. My mom did, indeed, throw me into the deep end. I remember the clown disappearing scared the crap out of me, and when I went to bed, my mom hid in the bathroom and threw a doll at me. Traumatizing, but now I’m a horror fanatic. Thanks mom!

You can definitely date someone with the intention of using their love for you to manipulate them. It's emotionally abusive, yes, but it's still considered dating.
