And yeah that whole “ripping your own skin off to reveal the beast within” that they did for VH was RAD as hell - but the CG is a little dated now.

Van Helsing is one of those films my partner and I regularly think is going to be a good re-watch, but one that consistently and QUICKLY reminds us that we’re wrong.

A bit like Prometheus, or a tipsy shag.

The memory of it is better than the actual thing itself.

Drunken master that shit. Fall backwards, kick sand in their face. Kung-fulf.

Listen if you actually get BITTEN by a flat faced guy then I think the blame is 50/50 on you and the wolf.

JR McCormick @oldcinnamon.bsky.social · 6h

Get what’s good.

I can’t find a single point in your argument I disagree with.

He WOULD be a cartoon man.

Hell yeah Bernie, thoroughly nail that werewolf you dirty brute.

I would argue that the Dog Soldiers wolves are quite mascotian.

Perhaps out of the four I mentioned, flippantly, I’d be most pleased with the physique of a Van Helsing wolf.

We can agree that no one wants that “crawling around on all fours” shit.

JR McCormick @oldcinnamon.bsky.social · 6h

The flat faced guys gotta work harder to get close enough for a bite. I bet they’re mostly claw action.

Yeah they did him dirty with that shit. All sexy and snouted for the reveal to Willow, then they flat faced the boy when they threw him in that library cage.

JR McCormick @oldcinnamon.bsky.social · 18h

No one wants that shit. Gimme that long as snout.

Wolf Man has broken the 4th wall. He knows he’s being perceived.

JR McCormick @oldcinnamon.bsky.social · 18h

Today I’m thinking about the flat faced werewolves like Wolf Man and Oz from Buffy… and also the snout men werewolves like from Van Helsing and Dog Soldiers.

I think if I was a werewolf, I’d be ragin if I was one of them flat faced ones.

A cheeky bit of insight into the history of The Bad Articles.

We had been working on this “idea” for years, before it became what it is. This most recent iteration - the one that became The Bad Articles - was originally called Osnádurtha.

I took zero photos at GATHER improv festival this weekend, but rest assured. It was incredible.

It was a pleasure to spend so much quality time with so many absolute eejits.

It was cold, it was windy, we forgot the poles for the tent, I have no voice, I have no money.

Great weekend.
