Wow ngl, “Now that Trump lost / stop worrying about bad things being normalized”-11/26/20

This is doubly weird for me, since I’ve always referred to 9/11 as the wardrobe malfunction of America’s foreign policy.

When I was in the Navy, this was playing in the lounge, and when Glenn Close says, “I will not be ignored!” A black girl stood up and said, “tell him sister!”

Anything by the Cramps. And “Every Day Is Halloween” by Ministry.

I think if you want to put a late-period Simpsons episode in the list, I’d put in “Halloween of Horror” from Season 27 (Good Lord..27). It’s amazingly the only non-Treehouse of Horror Halloween episode they’ve ever done, and it’s very good.

A perfectly cromulent choice in my book. I would submit that Pinhead isn’t a slasher at all. For at leas the first two movies, he isn’t even the villain. And “Hellraiser” is a terrific movie, sure, but it never matches the queasy intensity of TCSM.

Jeepers Creepers suffers from the fact that it was made by an actual pedophile.

I wonder if Guillermo really doesn’t care about becoming a vampire anymore

If any part of you is “grinning,” I think you’re the complete asshole in this situation.

Folks, this is partly why the Unions were, and still might, going to strike.

seems like prop guns have killed a lot of actors over the years. i remember being a small child and finding out the main character in one of my favorite shows (actor Jon-Erik Hexum of Voyagers!) died goofing around, pretending to shoot himself in the head with a gun loaded with blanks, in a break between takes.

There will be a movie about all this one day and it will be the most miserable thing to watch.  I would greatly prefer a wish fulfillment nonsensical film like that where I don't need to be reminded how quickly we are backsliding as a country because of a motherfucker too incompetent to even be Mussolini. 

This might make the subject of an uplifting movie starring Bradley Cooper some day

Yes, sadly their nephews Peter Vidal and Peter Capote could have stopped the thief who killed them, but he didn’t want to get involved. I wonder what ever happened to those boys.

Troma really gets on my nerves at times as someone who loves gross and offensive humor. My gross and offensive humor needs to have effort, and sometimes they just went for the laziest shock value possible. (ie: they joke about James Byrd Jr’s murder by hate crime and there’s no joke to it, it’s just loldecapitation) 

It would have been a fun scene to have a character look like Madonna in the Matrix and just some shlub in the “real” world, so it’s a shame they didn’t do it. I mean, “Switch”? Duh. I suspect the new one will incorporate that idea, now.

I’m guessing it was the woman in white leather.  Can’t remember her name, but she seems like a better fit for Madonna than Trinity.

My guess would have been Switch and not Trinity.  She looks a bit more like Belinda McClory at the time and her sexual ambiguity might have been more along the lines of what the Wachowski sisters were thinking of at the time.

I read Helter Skelter in my early teens. I enjoyed the book, but perhaps because at the same time I devoured every Stephen King and Dean Koontz book I could get my hands on, the brutality of the true events perhaps didn’t quite register as heavily as they should have. I knew it was non-fiction. My teenage brain and…

It’s about a cult and a festival devolving into supernatural madness. I feel like no one reads his stuff which is a shame.
