Can we start the looting if we're VERY quiet?

And I can see some Red on there, and red signifies ripe berries and other fruit so it MUST be practically a health-food!

That is a _very_ tolerant cat, hahaha

Yes, and it's probably a weird nerdy side of me poking out but I remember thinking many times the structural engineering skills and manpower required to create lots of the later stuff was preposterous

Some cuteness from the archives.

My sister and I once cooked a goose for Christmas. Our favorite part was the stern instructions on our goose to remove excess fat frequently to avoid a fire hazard. Geese can even get revenge from beyond the grave? Badass.

Slow-moving tentacles will still slowly get you =8)

Oh, that's sad. Both something with meaning and that's very cool. Hope you can fix it

If y'all don't know the legend of Ben's anus.

Cook book. Spam. Bottles & goblet. Mead hall menu skit pic sort of thing. Oh, and a potato.

Well you sign my book please mister.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Oooo, that a good 'un

The HPLHS Call of Cthulhu on Amazon Prime? Get in!

Went with a mate to see Aliens at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performing the soundtrack, it was SO good and great to see it on the big screen. They even created sound effects like chittering noises by clattering the bows against the bodies of cellos & violins

Absolutely, with those. But yeah it definitely makes sense to watch as much different stuff as you can so you get a good range of stuff under your belt.
As you've done the whole original Evil Dead trilogy, the TV series is also one to note down and tuck away for far-future viewing, it's _very_ good

My full list of horror and horror adjacent movies seen that I started last October.

A mighty fine list. Are Alien and Aliens on the future viewing list? Again, Aliens is definitely one to stretch the no sequels rule for as it's a very different style of horror to Alien, and they're both exceptional (and make sure you watch the director's cuts of them, esp Aliens)

The thing with "No sequels" is that there are many series where at least some of the sequels are also excellent, so if I were you I'd try to be a bit flexible on that, but I can also understand why it's a good policy to get through as much stuff as possible

Yeah, definitely at least watch Dawn Of The Dead, but the other ones are also good, too. Dawn Of The Dead is another one where the modem remake is well done, too, for down-the-line when you've watched a lot more stuff.

So good

Somehow I can't often seem to manage that. Though quite often it's due to quick cooking stuff

Egg fried rice. Some assembly required.

Egg fried rice is afoot.

Oh, you have so many delights to sample. Have you watched any Romero, yet?

And if you want an example playthrough, look on the @5g4d.bsky.social feed from a while ago

trying to lock in for the rest of October and watch more weird old horror movies. yesterday was Texas chain saw massacre 1974, and today was House 1985. both deeply unusual films that were pretty good despite and because of their low budget goofiness.

Always love another watch of TCM, esp the "family dinner" scene. The modern remake was surprisingly good, too (though the dark disturbing side of the original is still the best)

Add the Trapdoor theme to that

Not being able to idly sing is a great loss!
At least you can still go and raid the fridge for cheese

Keith Harris and Awful

But he can also fit on a slice of toast. I wonder if there's some non-Euclidean geometry going on, here?
