Watched some 80s horror so far:

Motel Hell (1980)
A surprisingly bloodless comedy cannibal affair. probably riffs a bit off texas chainsaw but why wouldn’t they? the good old boy main character’s conundrum is: i brought a nice girl home, how do i explain that i normally chop up the likes of her for jerky?

The Hitcher (1986)
How the fuck did i not see this before. Rutger Hauer is Michael Myers type relentless in Halloween vs Duel playing with his road trip prey. effortlessly terrorising the floppy hair rock n roll leather jacket kid because he can and he feels like it. makes no sense and doesn’t need to, nightmarish dustscape high tension pursuit. tbh the end drags a bit but that’s nitpicking. an excellent film

rewatched an american werewolf in london, it’s still good

You invariably know the story

Apparently not. Adaptations don’t need to stick rigidly to the source but this sounds shit

after reading this saw that i was banned too. i don’t mind (never noticed), but was interested to look up the details

that mushroom comm has 11 posts and two comments. since there’s only 11 posts it’s not too onerous to check the votes on lemvotes.org

total is 85 down / 82 up (167 total votes including default upvote)

that’s 180 total interactions.

the modlog:

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog/1406343

shows approx 20 bans per page for 20 pages

there’s over double the amount of bans than there are total interactions in the whole comm

ptb easy

you are obviously extremely obsessed and your ‘reasoning, documentation and evidence’ is a list of .world links that i will never read

LMAO 😂

are you ten

mildly sexist

i guess you mean implying you are an irritating cunt is mildly sexist?

yeah sure, in general i only block comms though, not users

lmao

yes very funny

you’re obsessed and ‘only a third of my posts are repost spam actually’ isn’t much defense especially when most of your output is ‘lol lmao look mom i said tankie triad again lmao’

there is not enough canesten combi in the world to fix you

your inbox would be more manageable if you stopped spamming reposts all day

some films i rated 4+ stars on letterboxd in order of their imdb rating:

Attack of the Adult Babies (4.2)
Antibirth (4.9)
The Feast (5.6)
The Greasy Strangler (5.7)
68 Kill (6.0)
Blood Punch (6.2)

that was fun to find out. all great films tbh

very well put, cheers

thank you for your service

3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)
Would have been less shit if it leant more into the comedy. notable for kevin costner playing a villain, it’s a heist movie that plays out more like a kiss kiss bang bang thriller as the heist is conducted in the first act and the rest is concerned with the aftermath with all the double crossing and double double crossing etc

5ive Girls (2007)
Cheap and shit and very enjoyable catholic possession spook em up. ron perlman gets it

Rewatched The Greasy Strangler (2016) and Mayhem (2017). Both of these are good

ah nice. you got the measure of terrified i think, started promising but i checked out by the end. i haven’t watched much lately since my irl work mate died a few weeks ago. still love the horror films but not having the fag break discussions next day has diminished the enthusiasm somewhat. spent the last eight or nine years discussing arthouse, shithouse, dogshit cgi and what have you. bad times. probably gonna buy the second sight edition of when evil lurks, have to get round to hispanic satanics one of these days

sure. i will have to read up on that but basically if it doesn’t prevent a locally known + liked candidate getting elected on local issues i wouldn’t be against it

true but stv is multi winner so i don’t think it works for a single winner local mp like e.g. irv would

i’m not necessarily opposed to the various alternatives to fptp but essentially i would want to preserve locals ability to elect a person rather than a party, obviously party would inform their choice

if we did get PR here etc

also probably + sadly true

trump in our case would be farage probably. i think the uk has a greater chance of that not happening due to the wider choice of alternatives, plaid cymru in wales and the snp in scotland may well save the english who are quite tory by nature, but the split there with harder right going with reform and softer right going to the lib dems (as likely caused labour’s broad and shallow support last time) might work again

honestly don’t favour proportional rep in the house of commons, this opinion was cemented during the last election when a handful of prominent independent local candidates took their seat, and some nearly did (wes streeting’s constituency in particular). this could not happen with party list type PR. i like the principle of a local connection to an area and wouldn’t like to lose that (i know candidates get parachuted in etc but in principle)

I would prefer ranked choice voting for constituency seats, and apply PR to the house of lords instead. you could do this by counting votes for two purposes, so your vote for the local MP candidate also gets added to their party’s % seats in the lords. e.g. your vote for bob smith (green) gets added to his local count, as well as his party’s % allocation of lords

this is a half baked idea tbh but i quite like it so far

comment on the article says

Actually the teenager would basically DMCA takedown peoples games and then remake the game nearly exactly and upload it himself to steal the playerbase, now he sold it to another pay2win studio

trying to find actual evidence for this has sapped my will to live but there’s some interesting drama

ruthless little shit’s gonna go far

Been meaning to try pentiment, is it any good?

Could also be about your conception of what you’re doing in a game - are you being the character, or controlling them
