Favorite monsters: Other Mother from Coraline Naked Golden Angelina Jolie from Beowulf Fat Beholder from Big Trouble in Little China, unless we count the Three Storms, if we count the Three Storms then I pick the Three Storms I saw Crimson Peak yesterday and I thought the ghosts were neat. The movie was OK I guess, I rather liked that all of the ghosts were just trying to be nice. The "twist" was utterly laughable in a post-Game of Thrones world, though.

So, there's a white nationalist front summit in Boston in two weeks that's going to end up as a clash with antifa, and I just found it it's scheduled at the same time and location as a large medieval LARP. So, that's my life. edit: Place me in whichever of those groups you like, by the way. Anonymous Robot fucked around with this message at 14:38 on May 2, 2017 |

Clash With Antifa is a good punk band name.

  also, it'd be impossible to distinguish the medieval roleplayers from the white nationalists

Seeing stories that the WGA has reached a deal with the AMPTP, so there will be no strike from them. The details are still vague but hopefully it was a decent deal.

It's just so loving weird, I can't help but appreciate it on that level.

SPEAKING OF MONSTER MOVIES It's the second day of May, so I'll go ahead and remind people that we have a May Horror Movie Challenge thread. Set a goal for how many movies you'll watch (I've been recommending 13 as a minimum), watch them, talk about them. If you like horror movies or you want to get into the genre more, it's a fun way to watch a bunch of new stuff you haven't seen.

I retract my previous monster post. The best monster is obviously the creatures from Fiend Without a Face. The Tingler from the Tingler is a close second.

I listened to a Fear Factory album, Obsolete, last week. It was good. My problem with it and most industrial metal, though, is that it's not up the high bar I set for myself by getting into the genre via Dragula and KMFDM.

I want to like Fear Factory but the guys singing voice sounds really off in a way I don't find pleasant and he uses it a lot. They have a few good songs though (though my favorite song of theirs is a remix.
