I haven't watched a lot of movies in recent months because my brain is just fog and I can't engage them right now. This is also that time of year when I pretty much don't see daylight for weeks at a time so that6 can make you a bit screwy.

I watched Cronos a few days ago. That ruled. If you've got HBO Max check out Cronos.

do you live in the arctic? or just work a nightshift? 🤔

I mean it makes sense in that if she was so near death she might die the next day. What was weird was the part about her partner assuming she had already died.

from what I could gather, she was in the ICU, boyfriend was called in to say his goodbyes, he does so, leaves, tells his publicist that she either died, or just said that he was saying his goodbyes, her death was announced, then it turns out she was still alive, but was on her deathbed.

so she was apparently still alive when it was announced, but the doctors saw this coming very imminently, and the boyfriend got that message from it.

I appreciate everyone congratulating Debbie Does Dagon and MacheteZombie on their new stardom as CineD Mods.

This is gonna be a little transition period, as I plan to step own as CineD Mod once they're comfortable with the positions.

There's nothing in my personal life that I have to take care of; no forums drama has scared me off; I'm mentally and physically fine. I just know that, like any other elected position, there should be turnover to keep things fresh and moving in a positive, progressive way.

I have really enjoyed being CineD mod, through the bad and good. It's been an interesting, helluva run. I want to thank anyone and everyone who took the time to write me a kind or supportive PM or helped me out. I hope you continue to show the same support--or more!--to DDD and MZ.

I plan to stick around CineD, the SA forums, so there's no goodbyes needed. I plan to keep running some of the Horror Challenge threads, and I'll probably assist with trying to make Movie of the Month catch on more (this month is Crumb, and it rules!). And I'll also be around in the discord still.

Thanks for trusting me to mod for as long as I did!

thanks for doing a good job keeping this place running. turnover is good, too many mods keep going for too long until it gets to them.

Predators 1 and 2 got the formula right, take an existing movie genre and throw in a Predator. Once they decided to make the movies about the Predators they failed. This is also why AVPR is slightly better than AVP because it's a teen slasher movie.

til his name is not "Arnie"

His real name is Armand, Armand Hammer.

His grandfather was Armand Hammer, part owner of Arm and Hammer.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:

it's actually even better, in that his grandfather was an independently wealthy tycoon of some type who thought the unintended pun was so funny when he first heard of arm & Hammer that he bought the company outright.

Unfortunately he only owned about 5% in it (although he claimed he was looking to buy it outright, but they wouldn't sell). It was enough for him to sit on the board of directors though.

And the type of tycoon he was was both an oil tycoon (Occidental Petroleum has a yearly revenue of $21 billion), who also dabbled in doing business with the Soviet Union (how he got started with some of his wealth).

Armie's father however was just some lame investment banker, they actually grew up in the Cayman Islands, which is uhhhhhhh a very sketchy sign when you're meeting a white person.

The original Sleuth isn't available on bluray

There are HD copies of it floating around though. Very good scans for it. If someone is really interested in it feel free to PM me. A blu ray would be best, but there's ways to see it in good quality nonetheless.

My wife's aunt died a few months back. Her husband took over the account and instead of turning it into a memorial or something just started posting as he normally would but with her name and face. It's ghoulish and he cut my mother in law out of his life entirely for making a minor comment about it.

No beef between them, but he came in defence of her take and it all spiraled from there. He's left Twitter now.

Lexi did my least favourite Twitter take, which is to say something you know is going to get traction and then focus only on the worst replies so you can act like *any* opposing voice is the same as the vilest responses. The way she's framed it as the power of 'film twitter' or Anti-Palestinian sentiment and not that she said an incredibly dumb thing is gross, and telling someone that they're just a tool of white supremecy because they don't agree that "all black and white movies are sexist and racist af" is even worse.

The ol' twitter surprise, right up there with playing victim and co-opting mental health terminology. Someone disagrees with you? Well that's gaslighting. Pick out someone being mean at you in the replies and now you can say you're being abused.

Someone help me comprehend what this. The auction was for some non-reproducible token of ownership? But it's only a "token ownership" because the nyan cat is still clearly accessible to everyone?

Do I have that right?

Sounds right.


I think it's either rich kids who want to say they are the sole owner of something (even if that makes no sense).

Or it's the auction site owners who are buying it off of themselves to make it seem like there's some value in what they sell.

Or whoever bought it can turn it around and sell it to someone else, and the person they sell it to probably thinks they can sell it to someone else for more. Everyone participating in a big speculation cycle where the thing has value because someone will pay more for it, and they'll pay more for it because someone else will pay more for it. Until the whole thing collapses and whoever was the last to buy it is stuck holding the bag.

This happening https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania with infinitely reproducible memes would be pretty funny. At least with the tulip thing the people who took a wash had a physical tulip at the end.

It's what all cryptocurrency valuations are about nowadays. There's like 5 to 10 nerds out there in the world that genuinely care about the idea of cryptocurrency being a new money with interesting properties, and the rest are probably just buying it because number go up and trying to cash in on a rush.

1950s cinema was incredibly horny. I watched the Sam Fuller directed western Run of the Arrow last night, and other than the racism and Lost Cause propaganda, it had Charles Bronson and Rod Steiger shirtless and Steiger's the one who gets a love scene and a scene in a sweat lodge with an Native woman.
