  • Actually really enjoyed the writing minus the last 25 minutes. It’s quippy and fun and pretty cruel and gross out in places. Really solid.

    The effects are laughable. I really appreciate them going “we are in the middle of nowhere and we need to find a house and a phone” while you can literally see the nice house they were shooting in front of just behind them in the tree line.

    Man if they had cleaned up the opening sequence a bit. Canned the second climax and just gave us a long expositional epilogue it would have literally been a near comic perfect HellBoy.

    All in all a really fun hour long YouTube worthy fan film.


  • Nintendo also recently did the Pokenon sleep app which was about tracking your sleep and a bunch of wearables have been shouting they intend to get better about it too…

    I don’t know if I want to know why suddenly data on People’s sleep patterns is so profitable but yeah no way am I inviting data tracking and biometric harvesting into my bed with me.



  • Disjointed mess that you can expect from a writing session based around a singer, an actor, and a director, that hated their original movie’s audience, scribbling on napkins, to make.

    It feels like the producers told them it still had to be a joker film and that’s where you get the makeup and action set pieces from but they get ignored every time for excuses that are basically “because we shouldn’t tell this story, we think, we will sorta berate you, and give you no reason to watch this as it’s all fake”

    I just realized it’s still a rip off of Scorsese and like a literal reverse of “Shutter Island”

    Tap for spoiler

    Oh man you thought he was a detective the Joker the whole time? No he’s just a crazy person who is miserable, and the real villain is guilt a different joker.



  • I mean I had actually had a conversation a long while ago when I originally fell in love with Annapurna games about my perceived dangers of it being run almost single handedly by a billionaire playing around with her Dad’s money that the level of control she had would make it risky to treat like a legitimate company but they really put the gold star stamp of approval on so many games they made and published.

    Honestly this won’t really hurt the billionaire. She has the publishing contracts still and whatever partial finished games were already in development but I really do hope the best for the actual talent and employees.

    I really want to see them help push into that more united gaming labor force that the Henry Stickman developers foundation (Outersloth), and other groups are doing to let them actually help games be unique and good.

    None of us are allowed to give lower than a 4 rating because of stupid contract based work apps and an algorithm that decides to not show low value options below 4 stars or allow for them anywhere.

    It’s bled into so many things but the ratings between 2 -> 7 might as well all mean the same thing.


  • Its unpleasant and doesn’t care if you don’t get it. Cosmic Horror.

    But like that’s the actual point. A plot that just keeps happening cause something beyond the realm of human comprehension or comfort just steam rolling the plot while the humans try to keep a grip.

    Horror is mostly about the feeling and adrenaline you get from the tension anyways. Hellraiseright be one of the best horror movies as well but it’s for a crowd that likes body horror and it nails its vibes perfectly. Like Event Horizon nails “Space is Hell”
