DAILY CALL SHEET: AUGUST 11, 2023

Amityville Vampire (2021) A cleaning crew in something vaguely resembling the Amityville house run across a nosferatu, but are quickly forgotten as the movie becomes an anthology about vampires running around somewhere else entirely. Since the word Amityville can't be copyrighted there are, as of August 2023, at least 56 movies or shorts with Amityville in the title and this... is certainly one of them. I mean, it's marginally watchable in an "at least it's not porn" kind of way, but overall it's (hopefully) just another nail in the coffin of the trend of slapping the name Amityville on a movie just to garner a few more streams.

TIL: For obvious reasons, Scripture can't be copyrighted so, as of August 2023, there are nearly 2,900 different versions of the Bible floating around out there. To help the Church weed out those with too many errors in adaptation, or just full of outright agenda-related gobbledygook, the Vatican reserves the right to approve all translations of Lectionaries or biblical texts that are read during the Liturgy, though it does grant local ordinaries the authority to issue imprimaturs (In Latin: (let it be printed!) and Nihil obstats (In Latin: nothing hinders) to various other translations for personal study.

Short Feature: The Amityville Cute Farting Cat - It's a cute cat that farts while walking around the Amityville House for 46 seconds. That's it. And it's still better than most movies that have come out in the past decade with Amityville in the title. Enjoy.

In flatulence-related news, there's a story in the first book of Judges in which Caleb offers to marry off his daughter Achsah to whomever successfully conquers the city of Kiriath-sepher. When Achsah hears the news, there is some argument amongst translators over of her exact response. At least one Biblical scholar, Sir Godfrey Rolles Driver, insists the proper translation of the original Hebrew is that Achsah let one rip, thereby voicing (so to speak) her disapproval. For some reason, most versions of the Bible have decided not to include this translation.
