instead of a 90s super spy (what even was a 90s super spy? they were firmly dadcore by then, no-one under 40 liked james bond), it’s a more 90s kind of character being woken up in the modern day. but what kind of character?
a quirky fbi agent who investigates paranormal goings-on in rural locations. a dale cooper, a fox mulder.
it now occurs to me that brimstone was a horror-themed austin powers
the clone high reboot is all of this including the dreaded jokes about wokeness except they are from 2003
Please don’t remind me of the clone high reboot, it’s such a devastating psychic load
ah, that’s what, ah, SHE SAID
invert syrup (you put it on your pancakes and it inverts their colour)
What if popsicles became a new standard food format in the same way that sandwiches, wraps, and smoothies did. Like from now on people just decided the best way to eat food was to put it in a blender then freeze it in a mold on a stick.
Should be called Ikaruga syrup
here’s my pitch for the studios: de-aged David Letterman. spends at least 20% of on screen time telling off-color anecdotes about celebrities and the punchline is always Dave they’re dead
I would put my savings into producing this
Call it David Laterman

Americans consider the word “village” to be associated with some nebulous sort of other, hence the title of the film “The Village” immediately conjuring images of something backwards and old fashioned and vaguely frightening. Fucking term “small town” that gets used instead is just sort of embarassing.
superman is from smallville, lex luther is from Villageville
the prisoner made all mentions of any village the most ominous thing in the world to me
From the mid 00s my first word association with “village” is some gated community that set up shop and ripped up all the sidewalks around it because they don’t want your kind anywhere near them.
Village of ---- : normal, but vaguely English and or pretentious sounding
---- Village : probably some kind of restaurant
The Village at ---- : gated community suburban hell, avoid at all costs. But there is probably a nice pond or lake to walk around if you can stand the dirty looks from the people who know you don’t live there
having grown up in a village, when i hear the word, i think “rural shithole full of inbred cannibal mutants”
Long Island has lots of Villages, which are basically just municipalities that collect additional taxes because they have their own departments of sanitation, etc. Around here they’re technically called Incorporated Villages, to distinguish them from Unincorporated Hamlets. Both are located within the larger Towns.
For example I once lived in the Incorporated Village of Massapequa Park, which was part of the Town of Oyster Bay.
Colloquially I think Long Island folk also use Village to denote the little walkable downtown areas that sprung up around some of the train stations.
my village has a flagshagging pub called THE COCK
