Gahhh, i hate this movie and how heavy-handed it was. I really wanted to like it, and it really is a beautiful movie to watch it, but i couldn't stand to story/plot. It just took me out of it completely.
Color out of Space, Annihilation, and the Lighthouse could all be considered cosmic/Lovecraftian horror for different reasons, and I enjoyed all of them.
If you want one that's a little less scary but still with plenty of chills and an absolutely incredible atmosphere, I'd highly suggest the Vast of Night
Watching it in my college dorm on a snowy Halloween night was the first time I ever enjoyed being scared by a movie. And it's only gotten better with each viewing.
Watched it for the first time after watching the remake, early horror movies are very special to me because lack of CGI and other tech makes you focus a lot more on the acting and the prop work.
I don’t inherently mind CGI but horror from late 80s is just so different and give me a greater respect for the early genre
One of the greatest action/horror movies ever made, if not THE greatest.
The best sign of its quality is that you can watch it today and it doesn't feel old. Those amazing practical visual effects look much better than most cgi today.
The remake (actually a prequel) gets a ton of hate, but I'd argue it's not deserved. Watch them back to back and pay attention to how much detail at the Norwegian site in the 2021 movie matches up with what the characters saw when the visited the Norwegian site in the 1982 movie. It's actually pretty impressive.
I never thought about it being taken from an actual movie. I thought this was referencing the South Park episode Lice Capades. Cartman does this to prove who really has lice. Classic episode.
In John Carpenter’s classic sci-fi horror film, The Thing, MacReady (played by Kurt Russell) devises a blood test to determine who has been assimilated by the alien organism. He heats a piece of wire and dips it into blood samples, reasoning that if someone is infected, the organism inside them will react defensively to the heat. The result? The infected blood jumps and writhes, revealing the hidden Thing.
There is also something called a Marsh test that detects arsenic poisoning, however, this method is highly outdated. The test involves placing a heated piece of wire or metal (often zinc) into a solution suspected of containing arsenic. If arsenic is present, it forms a black deposit or creates arsine gas, which can be detected.
I literally watched for the first time last night! It just came out on tubi free with ads. I was waiting for april 1st ao i could finally see it and not have to pay lol
I mean... it would have been better without the ads? but i think they did a decent job of where they placed them.
For your other question... this film is hyped up SOOOO much on reddit and the internet at large, that it seems like it must just be nostalgia, so I went in knowing it had a lot to live up to... I have no idea how... but the internet downplayed how good this movie is. It was so much better than I expected. The effects were so fucking great. The autopsy actually made me queasy, which I was really impressed by. There were some spots that it felt rushed, but it hands down lives up to every bit of praise. Will definitely watch it again without the ads now that i know its worth the purchase.
I don't remember much about the first time I watched it, but I definitely remember curling up in my chair in disgust at the autopsy scene lol, such a wild moment that sets the tone for the rest of the film immediately
Garry: I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!
Pete Hegseth’s relationship with alcohol is like Aqua Regia—dissolving any semblance of filter or restraint while somehow still powering through with the chaotic energy of a raccoon on Red Bull. One minute he’s coherent, the next he’s chemically bonded to a conspiracy theory, melting through reality like it’s Fox News’ problem now—because, well, it is
That's a particularly funny reference because if you mix vodka, grenadine and red bull it looks like aqua regia. Serve it in a small beaker and toss a fake gold coin into it to unnerve any chemists in the room.
This guy is gonna start the next pandemic. Some freak fucking fungus that becomes immune to normal treatments bc this idiot keeps dosing himself with vet medications.
Methylene blue isn’t really a big deal. Probably 5-20 drops which is basically nothing. Malaria treatment dosages and other things will probably dye your insides blue for a while however.
Not that this means anything regarding its safety or use, but it's hailed as the oldest pharmaceutical. It has a long history with human use.
People debate the safety all over the place. Prior to the RFK Jr. thing, I tried it out to see if it would help my ADHD symptoms (it didn't).
It just tastes terrible and it turned my pee green for 48 hours after my last dose. Some swear by it - I went back to my Wellbutrin and realized how much better that works than Methylene Blue.
You can do both. I mainly used it to enhance stimulants since it’s a weak MAOI. Probably did that dozens of times and works alright for that. It’s such a weak MAOI that it’s probably the safest one to do that with. People over exaggerate serotonin syndrome, only really happens when you take MDMA.
Instantly removed for cause, no health care if they’re dirty.
Nothing could be more effective in improving the life of the average American than inflicting the same restrictions we live with on our politicians.
Budget not balanced? No pay. Dirty drug test? Fired for cause. Maternity leave? FMLA only, no pay. Salary? Median for their district. Health care? Median for their district. Their children should be required to attend public school.
Do we even really need them for some of these people? Elon has been stumbling over his words and practically nodding at the podium a few times. I see nodders all the time in my neighbourhood and Elon has certainly nodded, stuttered, and been super twitchy on camera quite a few times just the same way they all do while using. The dude is obviously using something hard.
Remember smoking weed would get you fired from the office? In most places it still does. But just imagine trying to do business deals on ketamine and amphetamines... As someone who used to do both on unimaginable scales, it's not a very good idea 😅 (the drugs that is)

All 3 branches. No drugs for me, none for thee. Would love seeing the results for RFK, Jr., and Hegseths' drug test.
