Usually, you watch a movie before you start to dislike it.

So it's not the Second Coming of Jesus.

A lot of people are treating it that way, though.

There are people who believe that H.P. Lovecraft's fictional stories are true details telepathically communicated to him by the Great Old Ones. People are idiots.

But at least Christianity has the benefit of claiming to be factual. Lovecraft explicitly stated that he wrote fiction, yet these idiots still believe it's true.

The text of that poster seriously reminds me of Scientology. Are my feelings correct or am I way off-base?

Fixed it for you.

I was reading The Call of Cthulhu on the train today. I call spelling fail on you.

It's Ph, not F. Grammar correction fail on you.

Dude, I read it yesterday. I have it sitting in front of me as I'm typing this. It's 'F'.

Hmmm... actually (srsly, even if this is H&J) I think it's both. If 'Cthulhu' can be spelled 'Cthulu', 'Cthulhu', 'Cighulu', 'Cathulu', and so on (being renderings of words in languages from other worlds, etc. etc.), I think that both are actually correct. But I'm not really into the Ctulhu thing, so I'll concede defeat.

Unsincerely,
Takh.

You know, you're probably right. For years I spelt Cthulhu without the second 'h,' simply because I'd always seen it without. Then I borrowed this Lovecraft short-story collection from the library to discover that I'd apparently been spelling it wrong for 5 years.
