Thompson liked grapefruit so much. His standard breakfast included two grapefruits, and in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas he was eating it constantly. yup wow that was a snipe so I took LSD and couldn't find a grapefruit so I went to the 7-11 and got some orange juice no idea if that helped, i just figured citrus!

Not that that in any way excuses singing about wanting to sleep with teenagers, of course. Andrew Dice Clay did the same thing. It was a character that took off and he became huge because of it.

GoutPatrol posted:Not all citrus would work, grapefruit and its ancestors (pomelo, bitter oranges) will have similar effects. Yeah I was pretty sure it wasn't going to help and honestly the acid had kicked in pretty hard already. I'd been dosing liquid drop by drop and too many drops. Just crossing the street and going in to the fluorescent lit convenience store was disturbing. The next morning everyone decided to have McDonald's breakfast and I had been making GBS threads myself horribly on the toilet for like an hour. Then the wallpaper started moving around like that episode of That 70's Show where Eric is stoned at the dinner table and Red is going off about responsibility. Wallpaper should not move like that.

Before I realized I was schizophrenic I would often see things in the wallpaper and the floor, I thought they were just optical illusions but nobody else noticed that the walls were breathing.

Kwyndig posted:Before I realized I was schizophrenic I would often see things in the wallpaper and the floor, I thought they were just optical illusions but nobody else noticed that the walls were breathing. I have schizo-affective disorder which is about one week away from a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia. I was in a philosophy class and had been doing some stuff and some thangs the whole night before and though my shirt was on fire because I kept seeing smoke rising from my pocket. And sometimes people's clothing with complex patterns tend to scroll or something. But I got better, sort of. Lots of meds. So, media that did not age well is the thread topic so I'll reiterate I liked Homeland (still haven't finished it) but I don't think the message of going off your medication to have super anti-terrorism skills is good. I just feel like that's a really bad message to everyone who has issues with mania. You feel like you can take on the whole world and you have a great idea and focus on it intently but ultimately it does not end well.

Isn't mania basically pattern seeking taken completely off the rails at it's core, so you think that you have some great idea but it's an incoherent mess, like in Brooklyn 99 where Jake and Raymond have the mumps together and think they are solving a case but they are just delirious and making no sense?

Essentially. It's one of the main symptoms of a manic or hypomanic episode in bipolar people, a fixation on numbers or objects which appear suddenly significant. "You live in apartment three? I had three eggs for breakfast today... Gas is a dollar ninety three today..." Source personal, but also my p-doc and I trust her more! edit: As you say though, in real life it's not like the Jim Carrey movie about the number 23 wherein the fixation is intentional. It's rather pattern-seeking gone awry where you cease being able to choose what you notice is recurring. CJacobs has a new favorite as of 09:04 on Dec 8, 2022 |

"You live in apartment three? I had three eggs for breakfast today... Gas is a dollar ninety three today..." Yeah, no this is really correct. For me personally. Doesn't apply to everyone ofc. Now let's all debate the merits of that number 23 movie. Does it hold up? Jim Carrey sometimes doesn't seem to himself. e: i'm not going to say what the number i fixate on is but it's on my birth certificate and that bothered me muchly before i learned to let go and realize coincidences exist for no reason at all BaldDwarfOnPCP has a new favorite as of 09:14 on Dec 8, 2022 |

I only saw a couple of seasons of Homeland, but I seem to recall there being conversation about how bullshit Carrie ducking her meds was, directly equating it to other tired tropes like the ‘magical r-word’ and ‘autism as a superpower’. Charitably, she is depicted as a complete mess throughout the show, so it’s not like they completely ignored that aspect.

I still can't believe Carrie at one point nearly drowned her toddler in a bathtub and the show just brushed it aside.

Hell yes, one of the only examples of a remake doing it's own thing and leaving the source material in a cloud of dust. This is why the smart thing is to remake an uninspired thing, you aren't expected to make the same bland choices.

Mad Hamish posted:The remake of Suspiria is fantastic. DUNC isn't really a remake, it's a new adaptation. Which amusingly also has themes of being on your drugs to be smarter. A lot of treatment of medication ultimately comes down the 'mainstream' being uncomfortable with the idea that there are people who genuinely need it to function, and will continue to need it for the rest of their lives.

For a moment I thought we were talking about the prequel The Thing and not specifically John Carpenter's. Now there's an interesting movie, it tries to be more faithful to Who Goes There? but is also trying to fill a story need that didn't exist. Honestly the best that can be said was the credits scene threading into the intro of the Carpenter film was really good

Then I went through a twenty year period where I didn't really hear it. Now when I hear it, it's usually coming from grown rear end men and I can't help but find it extremely funny. I feel like I should be offended but I'm just perplexed. It's akin to an adult telling another adult "I know you are but what am I?" with all seriousness.

Probably centered around early Aqua Teen and Robot Chicken, but I wouldn’t count out any of their shows. Early Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen, RC, and others that I’ve probably forgotten. Sealab 2021’s theme song brings me back to a very specific time of my life, and I can never be mad at that show (despite how bad it got after one of the VAs died).

So yeah...you can still "make Mel Brooks movies today", it's just that what this means is different today for a society that has moved 40years forward from back then. Edit: there's a nice Lindsay Ellis video about this, but I can't link it cause it's Patreon walled.
