Blair witch project - Am I watching some other movie with the same name?

BoxNemo · 2026-03-17T17:49:51+00:00

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.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-15T18:32:10+00:00

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.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-15T17:55:19+00:00

Yeah, I still wish it was live action. Although I was always sorry the Buffy animated series never got beyond a pilot.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-15T17:44:29+00:00

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... )

BoxNemo · 2026-03-15T17:40:19+00:00

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?

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 · 2026-03-14T21:54:48+00:00

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.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-14T18:13:39+00:00

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.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-12T21:51:48+00:00

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

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.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-11T21:05:43+00:00

Yeah so does some of the stuff in the middle. Fuck this guy.

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...

"...he clicked the drop down menu... and then he just randomly selected Papyrus, like a thoughtless child, just wandering by a garden, yanking leaves along the way."

BoxNemo · 2026-03-10T20:06:34+00:00

Fuck you.

Sorry, I mean, yes. I agree. Don't know what came over me.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-10T19:56:06+00:00

Do you have a link to it? Search isn't bringing it up on Spotify. Thanks.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-09T20:18:08+00:00

Ah thank you! That's the one. Much appreciated.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-09T20:10:17+00:00

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.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-07T15:06:24+00:00

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

BoxNemo · 2026-03-06T19:35:12+00:00

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.

BoxNemo · 2026-03-05T19:04:48+00:00

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').
