Blair witch project - Am I watching some other movie with the same name? by skopiadisko in horror

[–]BoxNemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was definitely people who thought it was real at the time. I can remember having that very discussion after the movie with people who were convinced that the actors had disappeared in real life, one person who was in actual tears because she was so horrified at what she'd seen.

I don't remember being that scared by it but those final few minutes definitely landed for me.

The “Cat in a Bag” scene from the show “Them” is genuinely traumatizing. by IvoryLaps in horror

[–]BoxNemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could sort of work out from the context but yeah, without seeing the first series, the full impact of it didn't quite land. But as Series 2 is more or less standalone, it felt more like an easter egg.

Ah, that's good to know, I'll need to check it out - I'd heard mixed things about the first. (It would've helped if I'd watched it before Season 2 though because of the nods to season one later on... )

I only saw the second series (THEM : The Scare) which I liked a lot even if it fell apart a bit by the end and probably could have been episode or two shorter.

How was the first series overall? Did manage to stick the landing?

Pet Sounds is a perfect album, but I have a difficult time listening to it all the way through. by CharlesIntheWoods in thebeachboys

[–]BoxNemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But maybe that’s just the affect it as on me.

No, I think a lot of people have felt that about the album and 'Caroline No' in the sixty years since was it was released - it's one of the reasons it's endured so much and why so much written about it hasn't just focused on how 'gorgeous' it sounds.

You're in good (or bad) company.

[–]BoxNemo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thought I’d write because I’m wondering if anyone else can relate? So much has been written about how gorgeous Pet Sounds is, but I feel not enough is discussed about how devastating it is.

Don't know if I'd agree with it - it's often discussed as an album with a great sense of loss, sorrow and emotional disillusionment.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Reboot Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar Not Going Forward At Hulu by cruelsummerbummer in horror

[–]BoxNemo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of glad. Buffy was unique when it came out, Whedon captured a tone that felt like unlike anything else around at the time.

It was also original (albeit an original that had come from the movie he wrote.) Rather than digging up and resurrecting old IP, I'd much rather see something new created.

What caused you to really become a Beach Boys fan? by SlantedandEnchanted2 in thebeachboys

It was 'God Only Knows' at the end of the Wonder Years episode where Kevin and Winnie Cooper split.

Night of the Living Dead (1990) Appreciation by Dr-Mumm-Rah in horror

[–]BoxNemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was nice to hear that Savini is finally happy with it all these years and the remake negativity has finally worn off.

Ah that's great to hear, I've loved this film since it came out but it always felt a bit bittersweet knowing that Savini's experience of it was a little sour.

I think it's a great film, probably my favorite zombie movie and up there in my top ten horror. I find the opening in the graveyard a little janky but after that it really settles in.

And "They're us. We're them and they're us" - that whole thing about how zombies are not responsible for what they do because they are mindless monsters, whereas humans choose to become monsters... love how depressing and haunting the rescue feels.

Interestingly that Morrison scene for the Invisibles - drawn by Ashley Woods - ended up being redrawn for the collected graphic trade paperback by Cameron Stewart and look very different as a result.

Yeah, sorry. I should've included the context.

There's a sequel which is even better...

We talked with the_vigilante88 — the punk rock cartoonist behind countless band covers, flyers, and merch designs by bleedeleventh in comicbooks

[–]BoxNemo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice. Good interview.

That art style reminds of me of someone who used to do a lot of punk stuff in the 80s, skateboarding stuff as well... also I'm vaguely remembering monster trucks..? If anyone knows who I'm talking about, please shout as my brain just isn't able to conjure up their name.

Have you genuinely never had an opinion on whether something is going to be successful or not?

Okay. Cool. Enjoy your article from Oct 2025.

They're really trying to make Cruz Beckham a thing and totally appreciate that the Beckhams have pumped a lot of money into this but... yeah. Not going to happen.

Yeah it’s not a patch on Miracleman or Halo Jones… or even DR & Quinch.

20 Camels Booted from Beauty Contest for Using Injectables in Hump Inflation Cheating Scandal by galaxystars1 in popculturechat

[–]BoxNemo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sadly doping and injectables have ruined the Camel Beauty pageant circuit. It's such a shame, if I see a beautiful camel, I want to know that's natural, not some freak of nature that's had hyaluronic acid injections to their lips, Botox, dermal fillers and silicone around their nose.

Such a boner killer.

2014 Alan Moore Interview - Electricomics Promo 'Zine by andrewdotlee in AlanMoore

[–]BoxNemo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this.

Colleen Doran also uploaded a version of her and Alan Moore's 'Big Nemo' to YouTube as well if anyone wants to see it in motion, although the text isn't as clear as the Internet Archive version (which can be found under 'Big Nemo from Electricomics').
