80's horror movies: HEY WE'RE GONNA NEED MORE FUCKIN' GOOP
movie sub-genres • lovecraftian
lovecraftian horror, sometimes used interchangeably with “cosmic horror” is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock.

here’s my one whole discourse post for pride month. you fucks will never ever ever wean off the radfem shit if you keep trying to give “cis men are evil” nuance. no, it’s not bad because they could be closeted or questioning, it’s bad because gender essentialism is a fucking brain poison and it makes you stupid
this is “not all men” cloaked in progressive-sounding vocabulary

I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.
ALTIT GETS WORSE!
"This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It's amateur hour."
So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a "free" account.
Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn't know WHY it isn't loading, so it keeps TRYING.
Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.
This is so completely amateurish it's unbelievable. It's like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it's making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.
Description: Woman stands in her yard in a dress, sunglasses and with a white cane and says, "I'm blind and my white cane is great and all, but lately I've just been feeling like people aren't giving me the space I need when I'm walking down the street."
The same woman stand in the same place with her white cane replaced by a whippersnipper and says, "So I've been trying this new cane that promises to command respect and give me the space I deserve. On the downside it's a little hard to hear the traffic!" She revs the whippersnipper. "But people definitely do move! Coming through!"
#you call it a WHIPPERSNIPPER?#i love it#here (Western Canada) we call it a weedwhacker
I'm sorry a weedwhacker??? I mean I guess it does whack weeds but weedwhacker?
I love everything about this from the original lady (fucking what a badass lol) to the discovery of American names for things.
I tend to avoid armchair diagnosing celebrities with things, as they are strangers, I don't know them, and it's honestly weird to me when people DO do that, but occasionally, this quote from a 2022 Christian Bale interview pops into my head...
When I went through years where I wasn’t getting work, there were times when, you know, I was looking through like, “Oh, what’s my insurance policy, because the tree just fell from the neighbor’s yard?” And I was like, “I can’t read that.” But I went, “I will become a character who loves nothing more in life than reading insurance policies.” And I read it back to front, and then I called my State Farm representative and I went through it, and they were exhausted. They said, “We’ve never had anybody be this thorough with anything.”
...and I'm just..."dude, that is not neurotypical behavior, but also, interesting strategy."
I’m probably in some weird artsy minority here, but I would really love to see less emphasis on realism in movies. I think trying to make everything look ultra-realistic puts too much focus on special effects. They suck up budget and audience attention, if they’re even slightly off-kilter they become a laughingstock, and they’re increasingly mandatory even for stories that don’t involve robots or aliens.
Meanwhile, in theater a flashlight with some orange paper on it can be a “fire” and everyone’s cool with that. You get the idea and that’s what counts. And by asking the audience to actively participate in suspension of disbelief, it can draw them even more into the story.
I wouldn’t want every movie to go this route, but I wish it were considered more of a legitimate artistic choice.
