As a waterfowl, I care little for the sensitivities of the Damned. Also, like, the Brujah totes had it coming.

There's a reason the Giovanni et ya, and it weren't yer good looks.

Whither Sapien?

I got a vaguely Sonic-style character dressed like Poochie (of all things), and I guess that's pretty benign—

Dana Gillespie's version can't quite catch the sad ephemeral tone of Bowie's version, but I've always been partial to it:

Eddie Redmayne deserves every award for his stupid character in stupid Jupiter Rising. His "the-universe-is-giving me-a-blow-job" face was a shining light in a truly shitty movie. Him and Channing Tatum's chin.

Recently finished Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle, a book that has the most upbeat bleak ending I've ever read (that really isn't spoiling anything). If you're into subtle, psychological horror, it's a must read. The main character is a wonderfully sympathetic monster.

I also liked Prometheus, despite the glaring flaws. I liked the aesthetic, I liked David (a lot), and I liked the body horror (apart from the zombie, yeah). I'm very easy about movies that way; if I'm picking up what it's putting down, I can forgive a lot. That said, the fucking biologist poking the fucking alien

Ah but you see he's pretending to pretend he's pretending to pretend at pretending he's a preening jackass. Which is an obfuscation of his other pretenses. Truly his Devil's advocacy shall enlighten us plebs.

Just a bit of foma.

So it goes.

Finnegan is nothing if not a discerning eater.

"The Master wants you, but he can't have you! I want you!"
"What a story, Torgo!"

Oh when will he find love?

Hmm… Mrs. Phyllis Torgo… Guess I kinda like it…
