Always creepy

Was the ice cream truck always creepy? Or was it not until they used that melody to score horror films?
Woah, Michael Shannon is in Bullet Train? Well, that changes everything

When you’re born with a face like Robert Davi, you have no control over the way your life turns out.

Switching to the 2x2lb raisins produces the same effect. Paying full retail for smaller units is the only option and it’s one I definitely will not do. Try buying pecans in the grocery store without having an existential crisis.
So ready for today to be over
Personally, I liked the second episode of House of the Dragon better than the first. It's starting to grow on me.
I'm pretty sure the next episode is going to be more action than talking heads. At least I hope so. I have been watching with 50% of my attention, so I have no idea what is or isn't going on right now.
The last 2 movies I watched both had the line "I didn't sign up for this". Weird coincidence.
Sorry to John McClane and Austruck but I tried to include both your quotes in my response and ended up leaving one of you out.

Now I forgot what I typed out. But it was along the lines that the original GoT was novel and that's what kept my interest during those first somewhat dull episodes. I powered through the premiere last week after giving up on my initial watch and I think that's what I'll have to keep doing until. If and when this ever generates some momentum that is.
