  1. The Devil's Playground. Nice little docu from 2002, (generously soundtracked with SAW II tracks) on the Amish youth and their coming of age ritual 'rumspringa', in which they are allowed to experience the outside world in order to decide for themselves whether they wish to remain in the church or pursue a life in the modern world. Rumspringa is effectively spring break proportions of partying and debauchery, leading to some of the kids becoming drug addicts/dealers. For one girl though it leads to genuine self discovery and the chance of a life outside the church.

  3. Uncle Arnie rules, wear the mask or feel the wrath of the bicep!

    Got my second pfizer yesterday, no side effects not even the pleasantly sleepy one from the first jab. Seems like they've drafted every OAP nurse in the country for jab duty, place felt like an episode of Golden Girls!

  4. Spree. felt like a Black Mirror episode on social media/streamers and does a pretty good job at capturing the hyperness of that culture which freaked me out to be honest, be prepared for lots of scrolling text all over the screen and handheld camera action

    My opinion:
    I really liked this movie.
    I highly recommend giving it a watch.
    Calm, touching, great cinematography, good acting, layered, real.
    One of the better movies of recent years imo.

    just watched this, it was a really sweet film! The name of Nic's fine looking hog is Brandy and there's more info on her here https://moviepaws.com/2021/07/17/all-about-the-pig-in-the-new-nicolas-cage-movie/

    It doesn't mention the type of hog, but it seems like Brandy could be one of these, a Kunekune ^^

    acid mwan idle sounds really cool imo. it's...spacious? like a big alien space

    for the longest time I always pictured an intense rite of passage by some tribe deep in the jungle

    last few times it's sounded like viewing a cross section of a weird, complicated machine in full swing, and then zooming in on each moving part depending where you train your gaze so to speak, but then it has that recurring crowd cheering like at a sports stadium or something. A really fun, bonkers track, man!

  7. Imagine actually thinking that the whole thing is some kind of veiled, mass bio attack. Must be scary shit, like a real, living horror film unfolding before your eyes.

    I remember having a moment while queing for my first vaccine, where the whole thing felt a little ominous. People queing in nervous silence for this new vaccine against a mysterious virus. 

    But what do the ones who are against the vaccines say about all the other vaccines that exist, ones they probably got as kids and have proved to be safe and spared them of things like measles, hooping cough etc? 

    I can understand a degree of concern regarding the whole thing, but what I don't get is the aspect of mistrust that seems to be fuelling it, the idea that there is malicious intent involved.

  8. Fried Barry. Imagine 'Bad Boy Bubby' with drugs n' ufos, infused with Troma style degeneracy. Mad shit. 

    Boys From County Hell. Wholesome, charming fun Irish comedy/horror flick in the vein of Shaun of the Dead.

    Ministry_of_Evil_The_Twisted_Cult_of_Ton

    this was fascinating. it's like every cliche of being in a cult wrapped into one long story.

    there is one particularly interesting part where the leader (big tony himself) tells his acolytes to slap the bejesus out of this kid, and each member, afraid that he would mention this transgression to God, decided to put in extra effort in the slap. by the time the third person was getting his slap in, the kids entire head was numb, she had a ringing in her ear and was completely disorientated. it was supposed to go down about 12 or so times, but barely got to the 6th guy

    I remember feeling empathy for the Waco guys, and even moments of being charmed by the Heaven's Gate lot while watching those docus, but this pair of sinister charlatans and their schtick was entirely repulsive on every level. 

    And what's more, the church is still going http://www.alamoministries.com/content/english/ 

  10. more like a first world mystery. The three cup holders in my car were all about a quarter full of water when i got in it this morning, almost exactly the same amount of water in each cup holder. It had been raining during the night, but all the car windows were shut (i made of point of double checking the previous afternoon, cause the forecast was for heavy rains). I didn't look down before plonking my vaporiser into one of them, and the water caused it to conk out for about thirty minutes. Also, the night before, my hair trimmer suddenly stopped working for no reason (fully charged) but started working the next day. For a minute there I thought I was going to have to buy a new vaporiser and a new trimmer. close shave.

  11. Prior to the whole Harvey Weinstein debacle I'd no idea who the guy was. Now I'm gradually realizing just how many good flims the old codger was involved in. From Tarantino to Eli Roth, Kevin Smith and a handful of up and coming horror talents helped on their way. I can't help but wonder if the current Hollywood scene would've been slightly less stagnant had he still been in the bizzo, workin his movie magic. 

  12. I'm looking forward to my second pfizerino in two weeks, and to see whether the extreme sense of relaxation, bordering in the narcotic, I felt on the evening of my first shot was a fluke coincidence or possibly linked to the old pfizzy pfizer. I may require several more doses for this experiment, so bribing the kind old nurse in the wee booth for a few extra portions of the stuff might be necessary

    t1a1 is one of most enjoyable listens in their whole discography. it has an ASMR effect on me. squishing and bending in all the right places. massaging my brain.

    love this about autechre where a track, or its various components, have the sensation of going on at certain areas of the head, sometimes just below the ears or down at the top of the spine/neck area, you can feel the sound like a ball or line fizzing away tantalizing brain tickle ^^ very physical feeling more like absorbing than listening.

  15. Magnolia. Had to turn off after about 40mins. Was literally making me feel dizzy. Was fun to see Tom Cruise being Tom Cruise though, think this must be the closest he's ever been to portraying his Scientology self on screen? 

     

     

  16. Most birds seem alert, capable and aware of their surroundings. Pidgeons are not one of these birds. They saunter around in the middle of the road, and instead of taking swift flight at the sign of danger, they dawdle around in a confused manner before clumsily taking off.
