No. Because of either social pressure, jealousy, actual ghostly possession, or erotic desire. The film leaves it open ended.

Like I said, perfect summertime flick!

[...] Sounds exciting!!

I disagree.

Expand on that. 🎤

I should start by saying I have never seen this movie.

[1] Unhelpful to potentially inspire parallels being drawn between Mopu and Enodia, especially when it seems like we're gearing up to jump over a precipice of our own.
[2] Brooding about the romanticism of ghosts only leads to undue strife.
[3] The last thing this station needs is a spike in unfulfilled erotic desire.

I didn’t think that would stop you.

[1] Unhelpful or vastly helpful in a way that provides perspective?
[2] Little bit of brooding does the body good. As does a little bit of undue strife.
[3] Weren’t you just saying open communication and conflict is healthy? This would just be helping to air things out.

Anyway, you can go watch Earth Girls Are Easy with Parson and everyone else, I’ll watch Black Narcissus on my own.

😇

[1] Unhelpful. I have spent years brainwashing everyone into thinking casual Tuesday night sock hops are completely normal. I'm not going to let you storm in here like Reese Witherspoon and ruin everything.
[2] I can concede to that. I suppose it does occasionally lead to nice surprises.
[3] Weren't you just saying that it's better to keep your thoughts to yourself to increase their potency?

Oh, is that what we landed on?

[Ack! Jannie]
Believe me, you do not want to be Parson.

[1] And are the Tuesday night sock hops in the room with us now?
[2] Screencapping this.
[3] I did say that and then you hit me with your deep subject matter expertise on the chemical composition of cool rocks.

And yeah? You nixed the film.

[Ack! Jannie]
[…] I looked up Gavin Waldinger like you said. ~~And your nice friend Enoch ambushed me after the storm so we could look at each other’s brains.~~ I get the picture, I think. But honestly I didn’t even say anything bad about him here—if me referring to him by name is menacing him, then okay. 🤐 on my honor.

[1] You're actually not allowed to accuse someone of having a psychotic break during a debate. Very unsportsmanlike.
[2] Yeah, go ahead ~~and store that in your "better calculator" app~~.
[3] Maybe we should just watch Uncut Gems.

~~So?!~~ But it was Whit's idea. I'm not in charge.

[Ack! Jannie]
Oh, I wasn't scolding you. Sorry if there was some shitty little debater tone transference. Just seemed like you were having one of your 'god, i wish that were me' moments.

Oh, I’m on my own movie shit now. Really want to rewatch Black Narcissus, but I’ll show up for a Station summer movie showing of Uncut Gems.

[Ack! Jannie]
But on that note, isn’t his thing being Mr. Perfect? I’m only picking up what he’s putting down. Why does it matter to you, anyway? I’m not bothering anyone.

🤙

[Ack! Jannie]
What is happening right now?

I don’t know, Annie. Probably nothing?

~~Wow, we're still unlocking new fun and unique ways to piss me off, I guess. Cool.~~ [...] Okay, then I probably meant nothing by it.

[…] Okay. Because you telling me I can’t at least be a little jealous of a someone who can get a pat on the back when he’s having a bad day without having to plan for it, and then dismissing it as a “God, I wish that were me” moment makes me feel a little small. I’m not saying I’m the most agonized man in the world. Just sucks that’s what you jump to when I don’t even mean to bring it up. But no harm no foul.

Thank you for telling me. I apologize for assuming that I knew what you were thinking and for attempting to manage your emotions without being asked. I will mind my own business!.

Lmfao now I made you feel bad. […] It’s whatever, Annie. Don’t sweat it. Mr. Sensitive over here.

Ugh. I feel bad because you made me mad and it’s not cool to be mad when someone else feels bad. So nyeh.

How did I make you mad?

It’s nothing. […] Well, actually, I’m being super hypocritical. More than I can tolerate.

It bothered me that you ‘nothing’ed me when I knew you were annoyed.

And that you used my name in anger(??).

I’m sorry for being dismissive. Bad conflict deescalation tactic. I wasn’t angry per se, more resigned, but I see how’d you’d read it that way. […] Is the name thing about (dis)respect? Or something else?

~~Oh, that's worse though.~~ [...] It's okay. Really. I didn't mean to make this about me. And there's no real reason for the name thing. It's certainly not about needing to feel respected. I hurt my own feelings by reading it in a mean tone in my head. Guess that makes me Mrs. Sensitive.

But I'm good, if you're good?

All good, Annie (normal tone).

(Not sarcastic.)
