So I heard this one had a bit of a notorious scene of abuse, and yep, it is severe. IMO defensible within the context of a story about confronting trauma that’s been walled off, but severe all the same. Fair warning to anyone who hasn’t read.

Wonder if it’s possible to map the overlap / causation between this and men being increasingly lonely and fertility crises.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Getting back into “Code Veronica X,” been enjoying it, but also man is it tough. The ammo feels so scarce, and the zombies are bullet sponges. Also, this has the creepiest thing I’ve seen in an “RE”: these creepy-ass sibs pulling the wings off a dragonfly and gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes.

Thinking, for no reason, about the running gag where Darth Vader keeps force-choking his underlings to death for failing to carry out his ridiculous policies and how there's always another flop-sweaty meat bag to take their place.

iirc there’s only one shot of actual violence during the infamous hobbling scene in “Misery.” You see his left foot bend with the impact, and it’s half a second long, and you only see Caan’s face when Bates hits the second foot. And it’s one of the all-time shocking scenes in a horror flick!

Thinking about Rob Reiner quite a bit these days. Especially how he had incredible instincts for what not to show, how to imply things so you don't have to explain them, when to show violence and when to show the reaction instead.

excerpt from Ebert’s review: at the end, when Snake has only 20 minutes to find Cuervo Jones, grab the black box and seize the daughter, Hershe suggests they get to Pasadena in a hurry by using hang-gliders. Whose heart is so stony it can resist the sight of Kurt Russell and Pam Grier swooping down from the sky, automatic weapons blazing, in an attack on Disneyland?

Ebert got it. He missed the boat on a couple Carpenters but more than made up for it by recognizing “LA” as a high-tech carnival of joyful absurdity:

Carpenter’s final truly great film (though “Ghosts of Mars” is fun pulp and “Cigarette Burns” is in the top three Masters of Horror).

“2 Girls 1 Cup” is borderline benign. A leftover meme from the aughts. A kid could go to the rule 34 subreddit and absolutely annihilate their brain.
