when I was in college, there’d be a mad rush of people just before the 2am deadline after which alcohol could not be sold til morning. After 2am it was just people on drugs. I think most places aren’t open 24 hours any more tho.

I listened to the rest of the album (which I believe corresponds to " The Hound ") while laying at a reverse incline with cucumber slices in my eyes.

I’m gonna have to play audiobooks of Lovecraft with dark ambient playing at the same time, it’s a great experience.

Subbed! You should cross-post here occasionally, in case people missed this post!

Nah, when I was a teen I was dealing with childhood trauma but didn’t realize it til late 20s early 30s. Luckily I was then dealt a whole new unrelated trauma. So teenagehood was like 2 traumas ago.

The lengths people will go to not use metric, smh.

Yeah but is there a metric metric to measure that length? I didn’t think so. So here we are.

oooh awesome, thanks!

freakin brilliant. Kinda wish the person editing it had enlarged the second panel a litttle bit.

btw can anyone recommend a good “cartoon” font, like the one used in this edit? (pref. available on Linux)

The human’s the worst of the lot.

WHAAAA how’d I miss this, I was just sitting around bored?! musta been a federation lag…

I assume this was not unusual for writing in the 19th century

nah, I get it, he was probably just thinking his buddy’d be like: why are you calling some rando to look at my fiance?

in THE DRACULA POLYCULE there’s a scene where the guys are like: Miss Westerna, you look lethargic, bloodless, and fat! And she’s like: This is just what women look like when we’re not primping ourselves up for you, mfer!

apparently van Helsing was based on a real person.

well, yah, everybody knows that real person was Hugh Jackman .

In DRACULA MEETS THE SPARTANS, Van Helsing is the best guitar player in the world btw.

Just wanting Zeus in heaven to see that “Sexual Chocolate” t-shirt.

I dunno, I lived in LA in the 00s, I can think of a couple people in their 20s/30s who were that ridiculous unironically. (In a good way! Who doesn’t love Bill & Ted?!)

These guys are basically the League of Underwhelming Gentlemen.

It’s a way to help ourselves understand reactions that go beyond regular stress. Often we talk about this sort of thing when we’re trying to get a handle on addiction or self-harm or some other type of damaging behavior. Sure, there are technical terms, but the idea is to give people an easier term to remember: “I’m starting to spiral, I need to [do whatever I figured out with my therapist].”

It’s when you feel bad, then feel bad about feeling bad, then feel bad about feeling bad about feeling bad, etc.

Here’s the problem: Kraa! isn’t gloriously inept like Plan 9 from Outer Space, and it isn’t stylishly wild like Starcrash. It’s self-aware bad. It winks at you. And nothing kills camp faster than a movie begging to be in on the joke. It’s the cinematic equivalent of the kid in high school rehearsing comebacks in the mirror, never realizing that trying too hard is the least cool move of all.

Yeah, I felt the same thing when I was watching Balls of Fury last week. It has all the elements of a good camp movie, but something just wasn’t working. Aspiring comedy writers might profitably compare Balls of Fury to the contemporary Blades of Glory , and consider why one fails while another one thrives.

why Troma didn’t choose to distribute it

It kinda makes sense. It’s got Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, and Elijah Wood, and it’s got a health-care theme. So they probably figured it had a chance at making some money in theaters, or at least getting a better deal in streaming even if the theater run isn’t that long.

Wow your VR movie-watching setup is astounding. A cousin showed me “VrChat” (I think?) a couple years ago, and in grad school some of my thesis work involved avatars in 3D environments. I haven’t messed with it since then, I never had a headset or anything. I’ve thought about it, but my career’s in freefall so I should probably take care of that first.

Yeah, the comments are all in text. You can access the comments through a web browser, like here: https://mastodon.social/tags/monsterdon The movie synchronization isn’t as sophisticated as in your setup, basically the organizers just says “GO!” and everyone starts watching and commenting. Naturally, those with ads get kinda off-sync but there’s always an ad-free option, like the https://miru.miyaku.media/ stream. Usually that miru stream shows the movie, then there’ll be a brief interlude, and then the second movie (Grizzly 2 in this case) will be streamed. Anyway, I’m “Terencio” on mastodon, I shout out Lemmy towards the beginning, klu9 and a couple others from bmoviebonanza are usually there too!

It looks like a pretty inventive cross between a Baja and a Poncho . It definitely uses Baja-like cloth, and it has a hood like a Baja. But it apparently has no sleeves, and is long like a poncho. And the hood looks more like a collar, which I think is rare for Bajas. And it has an additional blanket attached around the shoulders in a style which I kinda associate with north-american-Natives. It’s a great piece. Pairing it with moccasins is a visual pun. But I’m not crazy about the pants.

@frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml is right that it’s runway fashion, and the Dsquared2 web pages identify themselves as “alternative luxury”. But this community’s about “Fashion rooted in youth subcultures”, and the Baja is traditionally a youth item. Plus, there’ll be cheap knock-offs, and those’ll have influences on fast fashion variations, and all of this is inspiration for people doing DIY.

Just listening to that one now, never heard it before either. Wait, is this a trick to get me to listen to the entire Radiohead catalog?!?
