I’m told the choice to use “red tie” and “YMCA” symbols were to “expose the ludicrous symbology of the opposition and use it against them.” #portland

I’m being told that #ANTIFA had a nationwide Zoom call last night and voted to adopt two ‘official” symbols: (1) the official identifier for #ANTIFA will be to wear a RED TIE, and (2) the official song of #ANTIFA will be “YMCA” by Village People and will be broadcast at ALL official #ANTIFA events.

What would the movie title be?
“Rival street vendors at “See the Dead Whale” resort to increasingly violent rivalry not unaware of the ticking time bomb they’re gathered around.”

Brought the “overall score” down from 7.5 to a 4.5….

“Similar in some ways to CABIN IN THE WOODS and KNIVES OUT, there's definitely an audience for this brand of horror-comedy." Then giving the script a 4 out of 10. REDICULOUS.

“The writer uses a number of character details to up the stakes -- Tara’s insulin pump acting as both a ticking clock and as a homing device for the Leech-man is a great choice. There are some standout deaths and reveals.” 3 of many

“The settings of Camp Tomahawk and the Snowbird Hotel are particularly exciting and well-utilized throughout in building the horror. The repeated “rise-and-shine” call during the Camp Tomahawk sequence is thrilling and horrifying in equal measure, a fantastic detail to create a chilling atmosphere.”
