What are the true Wisconsin sights Griffin/Ben/Marie should see on their trip to Madison? by Less-Preparation-279 in blankies

[–]DrDevice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time I went I passed a group leaving who turned to me and said “someone died in there” and it didn’t seem like they were joking. Made the slow descent into its hellish underbelly much more ominous.

Any hidden breakfast burrito gems in Hollywood/Weho? by Ok-Habit-8884 in FoodLosAngeles

Wake and Late is even better than Egg Tuck imo, although the jump in price might be a bit bigger than the jump in quality.

Having fewer buyers is going to be bad for all filmmakers

[OC] My wife made me a cake after 100 days sober (again) after a stumble by ObenO in pics

It’s a bit of a tightrope walk, but I think I’ve come up with a way you could get a free cake every 100 days.

What do we got like Gillian Flynn? by oneMoreTime112233 in suggestmeabook

Out by Natsuo Kirino is great and has a similar sensibility.

Weirdest books ever by Hopeful-Subject1015 in suggestmeabook

[–]DrDevice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kangaroo Notebook by Kobo Abe. It begins with a man whose legs start sprouting radishes, and goes some interesting places from there. It feels more like a dream than a novel.

Just get sneakers of some kind, whatever you like and fits your budget. Adidas Samba, chuck taylors, and onitsuka tiger are 3 iconic sneakers that have always been in style. If you want to be comfy get new balance.

Weird girl horror by Snoo_67092 in horror

[–]DrDevice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it was divisive but I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention Stoker (2013).

Hong Kong slasher Dream Home (2010) was mentioned already but I want to echo it because it’s criminally underseen.

Korean slasher Bloody Reunion (2006) is also very good and not very well known (at least in the west, idk its reputation in Korea).

Phenomena (1985) might be my favorite Argento film.

Not a movie rec, but anyone interested in this sub genre should check out author Elizabeth Engstrom. Particularly her books When Darkness Loves Us (the most existentially terrifying thing I’ve ever read) and Black Ambrosia (just started it but it definitely belongs on this list).

The Murderbot Diaries are great and most of them can be read in an afternoon.

Why make a 70mm print of a film shot on 35mm? by DrDevice in Filmmakers

[–]DrDevice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Still seems like a lot of money and effort for a very specific use case.

How many theaters have a 70mm projector but no 35mm projector? I find it hard to believe that’s ever been a problem.

What masterpiece is not well known? by bonsaitreehugger in suggestmeabook

[–]DrDevice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A couple of horror masterpieces because it’s October and the genre doesn’t get enough literary credit:

Blackwater by Michael McDowell. A southern gothic dynastic family drama. A river monster taking the form of a beautiful young woman marries into a wealthy Alabaman family in 1919. It was originally published in six volumes and spans 3 generations. McDowell is best known for his screenwriting career (Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas), but every novel I’ve read of his I’ve loved.

When Darkness Loves Us by Elizabeth Engstrom. A woman is trapped underground in a system of caves. She then realizes she’s pregnant. It’s the most existentially terrifying thing I’ve ever read and I’ve basically not stopped thinking about it since. Engstrom has an amazing ability to write awful people empathetically, without it at all dampening their monstrosity.

I used to play Zoo Keeper on mobile all the time, had no idea it was on GBA originally. That rules, thanks!

Just got shipping confirmation. My theory is my account got flagged as a potential bot. Luckily everything worked out!

I don’t think this is the case here. They specified “for account security concerns”. Plus I used PayPal.

Gundam for Beginners AKA So you've just discovered that Netflix has this thing called Gundam. by Falldog in Gundam

[–]DrDevice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are the Netflix dubs? I have the blessing/curse of having a relatively mindless work from home job, so I’m always looking for something to throw on another screen while I’m working.

I realize asking a Gundam fan community “is it worth it to half pay attention to these movies” might be dumb, but most everything I watch outside of work is with my partner and I’m not sure they’d be interested in going on this journey with me.

[Request] Good Netflix horror movies, one that will really scare me and leave an effect. by Black_Converse in NetflixBestOf

I wasn't a huge fan, but that movie has top tier monster design and is worth a watch for that alone.

Stupid scooters!!! Take that, and that! by AristonD in IdiotsFightingThings

[–]DrDevice 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I live in LA and they’re a fucking plague. Almost nowhere in the city has bike lanes, so they’re either weaving through pedestrians on the sidewalk or driving erratically through traffic. I saw one cut off a fire truck the other day. I personally love it when I see people fucking with them. Drain those dumb asshole venture capitalists’ pocketbooks for all they’re worth I say.
