Practical effects in Carpenter’s remake of The Thing are hard to beat

Popular people didn’t see themselves as popular, they just had a lot of friends from their perspective. Social structures are only really visible from the bottom-up.

I am so sick of US politics being transposed into the UK

There’s a director’s cut like version of Alien 3 that fixes many of the issues (and unfortunately creates a few new ones)

It’s definitely underrated due to a Seinfeld Effect like phenomenon where everyone feels like they’ve seen it - even when they haven’t.

I prefer El Topo to Holy Mountain as it has more of a uh script. Looks like they had a lot of fun filming the latter though!

Both of them are worth taking the time to watch though. Nothing else quite like them.

Shaun of the Dead is so good! I can’t believe I missed it from my list. Pretty much anything by Edgar Wright is amazing, I even enjoyed Midnight In Soho, which was his weird Giallo horror tribute.

If you get a tattoo gun he can write a permanent apology on his skin

Pierce his other nipple

Killzone on PS2 was the first game I played that wasn’t inverted and it took me several hours to figure out why aiming was so hard

I think the circumstances around his death were ironic - humourous even - but I don’t take any joy in politically motivated violence. When you respond to rhetoric you disagree with by being violent then you’ve lost the argument.

If you just imagine that the right stick is their neck you don’t need to postulate a Parasaurolophus horn

I care more about the vertical inversion than the horizontal one. Not certain why. Have played with horizontal inversion on before and it didn’t bother me much after a minute or two.

Her name is Jeanie though, which I’d pronounce differently to Jenny… unless it’s one of those awful new age spellings of a classic name.

Fwiw Jennifer is a fine name and people can figure out the best way to shorten it for their circumstances. Maybe living in a rural community with a lot of donkeys would affect it.

Yes, both of those and their sequels - Future Perfect and Perfect Dark - were by far the most played FPS games for me as a kid.

It’s more like the analogue stick is representing your characters neck. IRL you pull your neck down to look up, and vice versa.

Idk either tbf. Maybe being pessimistic is the smart move here.

I thought he was in his 70s? Maybe you know more about the Brazillian justice system tho.

Yeah my knowledge of strokes is quite limited. I only figured out there were different types, i.e. blood vessels in brain bursting vs blockage in heart stopping blood to brain. There are probably more.
