It appears that they won’t be getting to work any time soon.

A FEW MORE POINTS ABOUT SUPER WINTER STORM GRAYSON:

Boston broke its flooding record Thursday with the highest ever recorded tide since 1921.

The National Weather Service reported Boston set a new record of 4.88′ MHHW (or 15.16′ MLLW) on Jan. 4, 2018, beating out the previous record of 4.82′ MHHW (or 15.10′ MLLW), which was set during the Blizzard of ’78…

On Thursday, in response to a photo of a news reporter doing a live shot from atop a sheet of floating ice, the NWS warned people not to go out and “float on icebergs,” saying “This is a very dangerous situation along the coastline with major flooding ongoing, peoples homes & other infrastructure becoming inundated and damaged…”

ROY MOORE ACCUSER’S HOME BURNS!

DEVELOPING..

Roy Moore accuser Tina Johnson lost her home Wednesday in a fire that is now under investigation by the Etowah County Arson Task Force.

 Tina Johnson, who first came to public notice for accusing Senate candidate Roy Moore of grabbing her in his office in the early 1990s, said her home on Lake Mary Louise Road in Gadsden caught fire Tuesday morning.

After neighbors and some utility workers called 911 shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday, the Lookout Mountain Fire Department responded to the scene. By the time the flames were extinguished, Johnson and her family had lost everything they owned.

FREDDY CHECKS IN ON BLACK MIRROR SEASON 4 — especially ‘METALHEAD’

Robert Englund checked in on Twitter concerning BLACK MIRROR 4.. he liked it..

FREDDY tweeted that the season is must see.. he loved METALHEAD–which incidentally is the HORROR REPORT pick as the most tense of the entire season..

While some have been extremely critical of the season for being so different from the previous three, any observer who enjoys good entertainment and loves to be scared to death of future technological advancements and how they can utterly destroy humanity, will acknowledge that the show continues to be cutting edge entertainment science fiction. The modern TWILIGHT ZONE of our era..

The HORROR REPORT plans on showcasing further thoughts on BLACK MIRROR season 4 after a second viewing of each show — only with contemplation of the season could a true review be conducted.

But in the mean time, Englund does have a good question: Who let the dogs out? I trust Season 5 may shed more light on the futuristic conundrum..

THE RETURN OF DAVID LETTERMAN..

The show will launch Friday, Jan. 12 and a new episode will be stream each subsequent month in 2018 — so the Letterman series is rather unique in the Netflix universe as it has a rather anti-binge roll-out.

The hour-long Netflix premiere will have two firsts: The former CBS Late Show host emerging from retirement and the former president giving his first on-camera talk-show chat of the Trump era.

Letterman’s lineup of influential guests includes George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, JAY-Z, Tina Fey, and Howard Stern.

INSIDIOUS VS THE SNOWSTORM

SNOWSTORM Grayson hit hard… and arguably INSIDIOUS still did well.. $2 mil opening..

Insidious: The Last Key is projected to earn north of $20M while Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle will fight for No. 1 with $25M-$26M. That’s according to tracking figures. Despite theater closures in the Northeast, distribution chiefs are expecting those multiplexes to reopen in time for tonight. 

And when schools are closed, horror movies are open.


2018 goes 1984: The creepy factor

At the January 4 2018 White House Sarah Huckabee Sanders press briefing, the floor was turned immediately over to the President. Trump was beamed onto giant television screens next to Sanders ..he spoke about corporations’ patriotism in giving bonuses to employees after the 2017 tax cuts were passed late December..

The moment was surprisingly surreal, with Sanders expressionless face suddenly becoming seemingly motivated by the creepiness of it. Her lips turned down, her eyes gleamed with awareness… the press was quiet as they watched the President on the screens. 
The moment was captured in this photo..

Trump delivering a statement on the economy, at the beginning of a news conference in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, DC, USA, 04 January 2018.

The President has been faced with a horrid week.. A book out called FIRE AND FURY has solidified that.. claims in the book have shaken the White House.. too voluminous to mention, but including tales that Melania wept election night, that Trump tries to bed friends’ wives, that most in the inner circle believe Trump is not capable of putting sentences together, and that they had three television sets installed in the White House … and that he retires to his bedroom around 6:30 to eat cheeseburgers and watch the TVs while perusing his Twitter account on this phone.  Insanity ..
Add to the mix? Giant screens of the President speaking to the masses.
Very 1984.

Boston bomb genesis: unprecedented storm effects

A “bomb cyclone” wreaking havoc in the Northeast on Thursday unleashed dangerous flooding in Boston and unprecedented high tides along the Massachusetts coast, trapping drivers in cars “floating” through ice-slushed streets covered in mini “icebergs.” 
High tide started to peak Thursday afternoon, with the height tying the one set during the blizzard of 1978, Boston25 reported. 
The National Weather Service compared the flooding to that set during that historic blizzard, and said Thursday’s storm brought in “some of the worst [to Boston] in recent history.”
