• So, in Italy, 1 in 120 people undergo exorcists ever year? I did not expect Italy to be that fucking backwards?
  

Really? The global seat of the Catholic Church has half a million exorcisms per year and this surprises you? I’m surprised it’s not more.

‘I don’t know if you’re aware of this but in Italy, that guy Jesus? He’s big there. Really big. Statues, paintings, posters, stamps…everywhere you look, ‘There’s Jesus, there’s Jesus, there’s Jesus’. He’s like the Coca-Cola of Italy.’ - Lewis Black

Admittedly, I probably should have been less surprised. My years in a Catholic high school, and, indeed, the actual Exorcist movie, led me to think there was a much higher barrier to entry for exorcisms (at least the Catholic kind). That said, looking up the stat further, even that number's wrong, since the actual stat is that half a million people seek exorcisms a year, not undergo them.

Probably the bigger surprise is that such ceremonies are a lot more boring than I would have expected.



Somehow, the most interesting things wound up being the obvious ADR for the possessed voice and the fucking cloth they put on the possessed's chair.

I probably shouldn't have expected levitation or anything like that, but when the star of your ceremony is the random-ass red blanket on her chair, you know you've fucked up.

The Good Nurse Netflix

An infamous caregiver is implicated in the deaths of hundreds of hospital patients.

A nurse rolling a patient over? That's how you know this is a fictional portrayal. The fact that CNAs are excluded in this hospital setting, making it seem these nurses are the primary caregivers, makes me wary of the claim that it is a realistic portrayal.

Haven’t seen it, but - based on what I’ve heard - this is the film they should have made:
