Stephen King, Please Stop Writing
I’ve put my trust in your name (due to admittedly very good past results) a couple times, and ended up with a couple really sh1tty books.
So, that was that…besides, you’re obsolete.
“Cane’s work scares me.”
“What’s to be scared about? It’s not like it’s “real” or anything.”
“Well, it’s not real from your point of view, and right now reality shares your point of view. What scares me about Cane’s work is what would happen if reality shared his point of view.”
“Whoa whoa whoa, we’re not talking about reality here, we’re talking about fiction, it’s different.”
“A reality is just what we tell each other it is: sane and insane could easily switch places if the insane were to become the majority…you would find yourself locked in a padded cell wondering what happened to the world.”
“Well it wouldn’t happen to me.”
“It would if you realized everything you ever knew was gone…it’d be pretty lonely being the last one left.” – ITMOM
FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Part three in the “Apocalypse Trilogy”, starting with ‘The Thing’, continuing horribly with ‘Prince Of (Flatulence)’, and then, thank God’s Green Flat Earth for ‘In The Mouth Of Madness’.
Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 229)
Don’t play it down, play it up. Better to be too careful.
I really don’t give a fck about watching Florida, New York, and Seabiscuit trying to win.
Put everything of little or no importance on hold…keeping the necessary of course, but nothing beyond that.
Put all available resources into the problem, solve the problem (however long it takes, will be LESS than how long it would take NOW), and then slowly ease back into pre-pandemic policies. Make the necessary adjustments/repairs.
“Never Give In” (or something very similar): Worked great in WWII, worked great in ‘Galaxy Quest’, and so on.
If you can’t do anything to help (and that’s not a failing at all, given circumstances) then at least remain Neutral.
It’s kind of disgusting to have to say, but unless you’re starving please don’t go around stealing others’ food.
Don’t go around doing petty sh1t under the cover of “social distancing” or (as I JOKINGLY put it a WHILE ago) to take advantage of the chaos, the fear, all the other emotions and circumstances that abound, in order to steal a pack of Twinkies. Show a little basic fcken morality.
FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Good scene from a pretty poor movie. I used to like it, but oh well, at least it was quote-worthy.
Mania (1986)
Robotic, bad-‘Twlight Zone’-ish. It’s Canadian, so you can’t actively dislike it.
Grade: D-
Body Snatchers (1993)
Bob Solo, I never would have thunk it of you.
Grade: D-
The Tunnel (2011)
Extremely mediocre. Just watch ‘Blair Witch’ again, if you must.
Grade: D
Body Bags (1993)
If you can’t get enough of mildly interesting horror/twist/dark comedy shorts, you still shouldn’t watch this.
53:45 – The beginning of the end, which reaches the level of D-.
Grade: D-
Superior Re-View, Aged To Perfection
FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Brilliant how Kubrick can make one slightly-off, portentously creepy piano keystroke (not here) have the same scare value as one of the least-recommended elevators (here). Brilliant how I can come up with a blend of sources and make an incredibly minor influenced work.
I think I genuinely don’t know sometimes now, when my posts/comments are clever or just dumb and difficult to comprehend.
But, all right…I’ll give you some blood.
Needful Things (1993)
The Devil doesn’t do jump-scares so good.
It’s under-done and over-acted.
Grade: D

“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.

‘Snuff 2: The Resurrection’
“Someone on staff will get you your well deserved virus…”
“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.
Supersonic: A creeping riff falling off a cliff. Poor thing.
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.

“And make it a fresh bottle, I don’t want something that’s been sitting around for years.”
A JOKE???
(scene) – 1-on-1 interview.
“Right before this interview, I used the guest bathroom and threw up repeatedly in the sink. I wasn’t sick, I just knew I’d be spending 5-10 minutes around you and wanted to get it out of the way.”
Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 223)
“…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.”
Lady Fingers
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.
Nom nom…Hey, Pine, over here. Plenty of good meat. Look at that arm.
“Come to think of it, I feel a bit peckish myself.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever get callous to murder. Now where’s the stiff?”

“Still…no sign of land…how long is it?
That’s rather a personal question…”
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.

‘The Room’ – At least it doesn’t have Nic Cage in it.
Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 221)
Impossible to fully and accurately explain.

A representation. The things Cane writes are indescribable….
Beyond description. Right. We’re wasting our time.”

It’s intriguing enough to get through, but it’s really nothing special.

“Barnes has got it in for you, doesn’t he?
Barnes believes in what he’s doing.
Do you? Do you believe?
In ’65, yeah. Now…”
The Limits Of Logic
“…I’ve never stopped to look at clouds before; or rainbows. You know, I can tell you exactly why one appears in the sky, but considering its beauty has always been out of the question.”

Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 217)
“…an exhilaration born of having no further doubts and dilemmas, no more crucial decisions which need to be made, nothing but going through on his chosen course and dying in a just cause.”
NFL Captions By Puppy – 11/19/18

London Bridge
MFL+1
“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.
Earl Grey, please.

His life consists largely of fear and pain and despair; fortunately and blessfully saved by the love of the only person that truly understands him.
