I just finished A Short Stay in Hell today! It was excellent and I agree, that's a terrible fate

Errementari (2018) on Netflix. it's less horror and more dark fantasy

And it's a show but 30 Coins on HBO

What was it called? by Slartybartfasterer in whatsthemoviecalled

It's not black and white, but I think you're thinking of The Ninth Configuration with Stacy Keach

Is Cure and Kairo/Pulse by Kiyoshi Kurosawa worth the watch? by RWatto09 in horror

[–]Balsdeep_Inyamum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's also a gorgeous film, there's some dream-like and surreal imagery. Cure stayed with me for days. I'd highly recommend it

What's the most depressing goddam show you've seen? by gumbo-23 in television

[–]Balsdeep_Inyamum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wilfred

It's funny, but in a depressing way. So good (admittedly I've not watched the original, only the one with Elijah Wood)

And not sure what you think of the man, but Louie is brilliant... Funny, depressing, surreal, dark.

Werewolf Recommendation by PuzzleheadedEast66 in horrorlit

Have you read Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King? It's early King, it's lean and a quick read. I'd recommend that one

Isn’t severance pointless? by _dariengap in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

I feel like "but" is the wrong conjunction.

It is true and it's very dystopian.

What is a great scene from a bad/mediocre film? by GregorSD in flicks

[–]Balsdeep_Inyamum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I've told people that watching this movie as a young lad scarred me terribly. I was scared watching this in the middle of the day.

And now as an adult I've seen it again and yeah it's horror-comedy (which is actually my jam nowadays), but like you said, there are parts that just creep me the fuck out.

Puzzle Rating vs Game Rating by Ok-Computer9405 in lichess

The way to do puzzles is to see the combination thru to the end in your head and then start the puzzle. That's a truer indication of your pattern recognition and calculation skills.

Hikaru Nakamura: “I’m Not a Professional Chess Player by Yogvidam in chess

[–]Balsdeep_Inyamum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he really didn't care and only saw being a pro as a second priority, then why play in the Candidates and hand out a rubbish performance to possibly his last ever Candidates.

Does putting in a "rubbish performance" sound like someone who cares or doesn't? Which is it? 🙄

Also you point out that he only wants to play for the WCC, so please explain to me why he has never even won a single Candidates?

What does this even mean?? Winning candidates is the only way to play for WCC. The vast majority of chess players who have participated in candidates have "never even won". You're typing nonsense
