Stephen King really does have a lot of ropey dialogue. I liked The Long Walk but a lot of it sounds like it’s written by someone who’s only heard rumours of this new fangled human speech

Happily revisiting R.A. the Rugged Man’s chat with John Carpenter aka “the gold standard of interviews”

Is Michael Myers a virgin?
Is he a virgin?

I mean, all he does is kill. Did he ever get laid?
I don’t think he was able to. He was fucked up, I think he got confused between fuckin and killing.

What if he’s really just a repressed homosexual on a rampage?
I never thought about that. I just think he’s crazy. But what do I know, maybe he is.

Your illest scene is in ‘Assault on Precinct 13′
when they shoot the 8 year old girl.
That was pretty tough. You know, you can’t kill kids. I don’t know what I was thinking.

It’s great. She tells the ice cream man she wants Vanilla Swirl and she gets blasted.
That’s right. She goes back and gets nailed. We rigged her ice cream cone to blow out blood on her. She was scared at first, but everybody loves getting killed in movies. She had fun.

The movie ‘Christine’ has the best dialogue, like the fat guy saying “Shut your piehole.” And the old man calling everyone, “Shitter.”
That was Stephen King for you- that really strange kind’a ’50s bee-bop dialogue. I’m not a big fan of the novel, but we did okay.

As the ceasefire in Gaza comes into action, today's Empire episode goes back to the 1920s when the British occupied the region.

The Black and Tans, fresh from the Irish War of Independence, arrive in Mandate Palestine to violently impose imperial order, & tensions are rising...

Gen V s02 was surprisingly enjoyable. I suppose when it starts with “they’re making more of this thing??” The only direction is up

I think I damaged my Wong Kar-Wai Criterion box set by opening it. Better to stay in unwatched pristinetude

I’ve heard this song used with a YouTube clip that I think is just a bunch of old Christmas themed Japanese railway company ads spliced together.

I think the other mistake people make was distinguishing the proud “Prussian officer” from the Nazis as if they weren’t also giant pieces of shit who slaughtered thousands of people in Africa less than 40 years earlier

doctober @docseuss.bsky.social · 1d

remember that erwin rommel sucked shit but the british had this idea that they would rehabilitate his image to create an 'example' that other nazis would follow. so they fabricated this idea of a nazi general who was a smart, capable guy who was a patriot who served his country

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 7d

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

the average american millennial man has been to Georgia and California and anywhere he could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And they made love in the sun
But he ran out of places and friendly faces
Because he had to be free

I enjoy that bit at the start of a third person action game where you have all the power ups & smash up loads of enemies but then lose them for whatever plot reason & have to upgrade again as the game progresses

What's your number one personal game design principle? And even better - does it have a cool name?

The French new wave director who got himself kicked out of new wave, Jean Melville Pierre hated how Nazis were depicted in movies saying that's not how the Nazis he fought looked like and everyone was reproducing Nazi propaganda

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Fun Fact*: the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang’s symbol isn’t actually a swastika or SS bolts. It’s the humble shamrock

*if you find 2000s/early 2010s National Geographic documentaries about American prison fun

Errr i got those swastika tattoos because I was in prison & I wanted to fit in with the errrr Aryan Brotherhood??
