i think that one is my favorite, although all the early seasons have really funny endings, so it's hard to choose. the show is still good on an episode-to-episode basis, but i think it's missing some of the build-up it used to have.

Rewatching Seinfeld with my wife, the limo feels like a curb episode right down to the ending. I love this show

So far I hate the dialogue in the Croning. Some of it is like sitcom-tier or, more horrifying, The Witcher-tier. I hope there’s a good reason.

If the bulldozer guy didn’t have to say sarcastic 90s poo poo in between talking like a 1890s Steve Austin then why do these dark souls style talking people occasionally mention Finger Banging and Blowing Dudes and poo poo. Wtf. God I hate that.

*walks into the giant tit dark soul lady’s chambers and after listening to some prophetic mellifluous sounding poo poo she also mentions having to quote, Take a Fat dump that will blow up the mothafucking toilet*

The reason is probably “time is a ring” as a framing device or whatever but it’s still annoying. Imo.

the ring is the one on the goatse man's hand. or it's his rear end in a top hat. or both

That is the exact style of dialogue I would expect this man to write

almost through season 4 of Sopranos, and after Ralphie prank called Paulie's mother, he had to die. Glad the show delivered.

Actually I really like the narrator (her doing the badass Mexican guys voice was awesome lol). Just hated the first chapter.

In fact I felt like she didn’t deserve to have to read the dialogue in the first chapter, is how much I like her and didn’t like it. But I liked chapter 2 a lot though so I’ll be cool.

I figured I’d be disappointed by the introductory paragraph alone if I ever actually clicked on X: the man with X Ray eyes, so I didn’t. But I thought the mentioning description of it in this other article sounded like a really sick premise.

how did you like Hounds of Tindalos? it’s insanely evocative to me and I’ve thought about it a ton over the past year (also cuz caitlin r. kiernan pulls it into one of her books, extremely high recommend once u need a break from lord laird) but i have no idea how it hits for other people

im just obsessed with like… wtf would a creature that moves through time in angles look like to us. and the weird people and landscapes you’d glimpse through druggy time travel. epic…

Yeah I thought it was cool but it mostly stayed in the back of my mind I guess… and I recently relistened to a complete prose collection and Dreams in the Witch House and some other one I forgot the name of dealt with angles and advanced geometry as a conduit of magic. Which I like as a theme in horror but it hasn’t struck me as hard as, say, Old Virginia which implies that unimaginably bad people in history are supplicating Belphegor, or Riding Atlas which keeps creeping into how I feel about love. Shiva, Open Your Eye and The Hour of the Cyclops (would be the sickest b movie ever) hyped up my imagination about perceiving as a cosmic horror would, now that I think about it.

Oh I misread what you said. Well whatever. Uh, I guess that kind of says it about me though, I been more compelled by the psychological implications on this stuff lately. Like 5 years ago when I was actively working on drawing and stuff I probably would of been a lot more into it, though.

it’s cool, i’m extremely into hearing other peoples thoughts on all these stories i’ve been nerding out over. i’ve def been steered by my artist side when i listen to stuff, trying to build paintings in my mind and fill up a mental bestiary, so im glad to soak in other ppls impressions

Re-Animator is sick but given the direction they took the premise it probably doesn't count as a Lovecraft movie. Also it doesn't have the bit from the story about unspeakable Congo secrets which is one of the funniest insane things I've ever read

The best Lovecraft adaptation is that silent Call of Cthulhu movie.

Tangentially related I watched Casino for the first time last night and though it was okay. Not the best scorsese but still good regardless and him including devo on on soundtrack was very funny

It's got some rough patches but I like it a lot lol. It's cool that absolutely nobody in the movie knows what the bosses want, and how basically everything results from that.
