My wife is the one getting groceries today for this week. We take turns on whose blame it will be if we get the life-altering virus. Marriage is about compromise.

Go to the grocery myself and I'm potentially putting dozens of people at risk, including the essential workers in the store, or get groceries delivered and outsource it to another worker that has to visit dozens of homes. None of it is good and the only thing I can get to grow at the moment is weed.

THey were doing this before quarantine tho.

The second trailer I made for the Museum of Flight charity fly-in just went live. This one was a lot of fun to make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfuOFGV4EfU

To answer my own question The Shining (movie) Dracula (novel, at least nine adaptations) Frankenstein (same deal, especially Bride Of) The Thing Halloween Mulholland Drive Twin Peaks/The Return/Fire Walk With Me House Of Leaves Seemingly endless Junji Ito stories (specifically Uzumaki, Enigma, Hanging Balloons, Long Dream, Glyceride) Hellblazer Bloodborne Annihilation The less racist Lovecraft stories The Witch

The Thing Salem’s Lot, novel Legend of Hell House, movie (book is okay) The Stone Tape, movie Alien Prometheus (such pulp) Ravenous (everything a movie should be) The Exorcist The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (also Part 2 but for entirely different reasons) Southern Comfort (holy poo poo it’s so good and you’ve never heard of it!) The Guest (I guess is horror? Plex says so and I do love it) House of the Devil Paranormal Activity, because the metaphor is myyy liiife gdi The Shining, movie If you like John Carpenter and you haven’t looked for some Nigel Kneale stuff, do yourself a favor and do exactly that. It’s all “thinky men sit around and try to talk their way through a supernatural situation” stuff and it’s great. Also there’s a Goosebumps book where a kid makes friends with aliens that look like fried eggs and he gets locked in a cell and it’s not his fault; that made me cry when I was nine so that was pretty good. Edit: I came back to this to replug Legend of Hell House. The book it’s based on was written by Richard Matheson, who inspired Stephen King a ton and who also wrote I am Legend and The Shrinking Man and some other good stuff about how loving weird masculinity feels all the time. Anyway, Legend if Hell House is a 1970s haunted house movie that stars people you will only recognize if you watch Columbo. It’s basically the movie that turned my wife onto horror movies. It’s about a dude trying to prove whether a ghost in a haunted house is real so he brings in a medium, a psychic, and some scientists for them to run their tests. It’s deliberate and cool and freaky and very 1970s and I love it. Captain Magic fucked around with this message at 06:39 on May 6, 2020 |

HOTTEST TAKE: Prometheus is the only movie from the Alien series that I'm into. Like you said it's got the dirge aesthetics and tone of the other movies but the story itself is literally a mid-century scifi dime novel. Replace the dumbass who took his helmet off to deal with the weird snake alien with Dean Venture and it would fit 1 for 1 in.

I adored Prometheus and was super-excited to see Ridley Scott diverge from the Aliens series and take the people of that "universe" into weird new directions. Then he made Covenant, which was a giant pile of poo poo.

The cyber-tomb mountain becoming a skull makes me have the goofiest grin every time. The first Alien is a classic but I also kind of nod off after the escape pod sequence starts.

Imagine being a late Victorian working class Whitbyan claiming a derelict freighter under maritime law as the first of Her Majesty's Subjects to set foot on board upon its discovery. How exciting it must be to know that finally, your time toiling in the Smog Factory for Scrooge McDuck is over and you will soon be able to afford a scarf and the finest medicinal cocaine for your 13 dying children and your wife eith whom you have not lain in some 15 years, aa the good Protestant Lord intended. And then all you find is a dried up corpse tied to the helm and an empty hold. And then once the constibles finally release it from plague quarantine you check the shipping manifests so you can file a report for the stolen goods and find out it was all just dirt.

I am glad that you enjoy it because it’s a seminal work and those need appreciating, but I honestly really hated reading Dracula and most other pieces of writing from that time period. It’s like if someone condescended to you about not playing game of the year 1993 Ghouls n’ Ghosts. The pain of suffering through that thing is not worth the limited charms it advertises, and craft has come a long way since then.

That's fair. I'm a slut for nineteenth century lit but that is absolutely not something that comes naturally to most people. I happened to have a series of very good teachers and professors who didn't just throw the books at us and told us it was important, but properly taught us how to parse it and why it's still important.

Covenant is a comically miserable Ridley Scott bitterly saying "you don't want my Johnny Quest movie about god's cruel indifference towards His children? Fine gently caress you take your wet sex alien, never talk to me again".

I also had a lot of very good teachers and professors and I’m pretty sure that’s why none of them assigned Dracula  I loved Covenant until the interminable ending. David dunking on idiot Billy Crudup was great.
