Trustafarians: When the Rich Pretend to be Poor
  • Love Chat Pile! Actually saw them on Saturday night in Chattanooga, on their new tour with Portrayal of Guilt. They always put on a fantastic show.

    What part of sunlight causes algae to grow?
  • Blue and red are the biggest drivers for photosynthesis, but other wavelengths have effects on the plants as well. For example, far red light (infrared) has a huge influence on flowering and stem elongation in many plants. They really rely on light for a lot of cues for regulation.

    It's the horror movie season. What is your favorite horror movie genre, and what do you consider to be the absolute best example of that horror genre?
  • I love horror comedies [Killer Klowns from Outer Space

    ](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0095444/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) is a classic and a must see.

    Fun fact: the Chiodo brothers did the creature effects for both KKfOS and [Ernest Scared Stupid

    ](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0101821/) They even refused some of the costumes in Ernest: Killer Klowns into trolls! Such a good movie.

    My final rant will be about Sir Peter Jackson's earlier work. Dead Alive (aka Braindead) is a movie from 1992 that absolutely blew me away. It is also streaming free on YouTube! It has some of the most fun/disgusting practical effects I have ever seen. What a wild ride. Would recommend to anyone who can find body horror amusing. 10/10
