“It’s in those eyes of yours, though” (‘Seven’)
It’s the look in their eyes, Oh God so rare, looking down in bed, meeting their gaze, and seeing wonder, fascination…God I miss that.

“Yeah, I know, we have no feelings…no compassion…no empathy for our client’s suffering. Can I say something? What does that have to do with anything? In fact, the lawyer who shares his client’s pain – in my opinion – does his client such a grave disservice, he should have his license to practice law taken away. It clouds his judgement. And that’s as beneficial to his client as a doctor that recoils at the sight of blood.”
A library (an often majestic, beautiful structure with aspects of timelessness) is now, in this grand age, simply a very, very large backup drive. So since we don’t even need those books anymore (everything’s online, right?) would it really be THAT outrageous to suggest that book burnings are better than books sitting on their shelves, because hey, at least on fire they provide a little heat for homeless people.

Stream Of Unconsciousness
When a normal human entity rests/sleeps/slumbers, they are later fighting to regain consciousness.
When Cthulhu slumbers, he doesn’t need to worry or fear or fight anything: the natural world is fighting to keep him all curled up in soothing R’lyeh, water passing over gently so as not to disturb.

(scene) – 1-on-1 interview.

“…we oughta be alright here for a while. We have a gun, bullets…food and radio…”
Some adorable curtains, bit of paint and wallpaper, nails, clean the corpses out. It’ll be great.
I know about recency bias, Mr. Hunter.
When did it become a major accomplishment that someone can dunk the ball?
I mean, am I missing something? Or is it just totally absurd?
Any guy from any pickup game in the world can dunk it
It’s worth 2 points. Just the same as a layup or a floater.
It looks POWERFUL, but it’s not.
The best rebounders aren’t the best jumpers, necessarily.
Fcken sad if you ask me.
“What can your client do?”
“Well, he can dunk it and block it.”
“Ummm…and?
“That’s it. Oh, he can grab rebounds when they bounce luckily into his hands.”

If any professional sports M.B.N. says any of the following: “treasure chest”, “momentum”, “fate”, “destiny”, “drop mic”, “PERIOD”, “end of discussion”, “guarantee(d)”, know-and-still-used random sh1t logical fallacies, using-because-I-learned-it-yesterday-and-want-to-show-off logical fallacies or anything like them, or if I’m just in a bad mood, I will tear one of your arms off and beat you to death with it.

And Then There Were None (1945)
I was in the middle of enjoying this cheezy classic a moderate amount, when I was disappointed to see a facsimile of the lead from ‘Invasion USA’ as one of the mains. Hard to suspend disbelief after that.

“What is fascinating about the Douglas character, as written and played, is the core of sadness in his soul. Yes, by the time we meet him, he has gone over the edge. But there is no exhilaration in his rampage, no release. He seems weary and confused, and in his actions he unconsciously follows scripts that he may have learned from the movies, or on the news, where other frustrated misfits vent their rage on innocent bystanders.”
Eureka!
So when I was a semi-wee one, there was a specific moment that marked the end of the beginning and the start of the next phase.
Thank God I didn’t know it was a portent for a certainty.

The Birds (1963)
I looked outside and saw some birds.
I thought to myself, “If they all attacked en masse it’d be pretty darn creepy”.
Now Alfred Hitchcock, who’s supposed to be so bloody wonderful, padded that out to two hours.
Lost all the tension.
The setup is mediocre and so is a lot of the dialogue, but still, pretty darn creepy.

Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 214)
Do all humans eventually come to the same general conclusions and revelations about life and meaning?
And if so, are we doing a favor or stunting growth by recording them for the future?
The Shape Of Water (2017)
It’s beautifully (and carefully) made.
It wasn’t what I expected, and it wasn’t as good as I thought it might be; I felt like it could be great, that everything established slowly in the beginning would produce more than it did.
But it’s still an achievement, and it’s something worth watching before you read the plot.

“No. No. Long Beach Mike is not your f@cking amigo, man. Long Beach Mike is a f@cking scumbag. He’s selling out his amigos. That’s what kind of a nice guy he f@cking is, alright?”
“Gradually trees became fewer, smaller, and less important. By the time the last fruit-bearing adult palm tree was cut, palms had long since ceased to be of economic significance. That left only smaller and smaller palm saplings to clear each year, along with other bushes and treelets. No one would have noticed the felling of the last small palm.”
“The new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
