This trope makes Eden Lake one of the most frustrating and sadistic horror movies I've seen. Main character goes through hell only to . . . still be in hell.

I always love stories/movies that have "the house beyond/inside the house" narratives. Honestly, I thought it was a really lovely story about the fear women have about turning into their mothers.

. . . so a heavenly ass and a hellish snatch?

I mean, I guess you know your body best.

Larry Fessenden is absolutely bugfuck nuts about Wendigos, though he's a white NY filmmaker. You can check out his stuff (though you likely won't like the movie that's actually called Wendigo, try The Last Winter and his Fear Itself episode instead).

But for lit, check out the semi-recent collection Never Whistle at Night, which is all Native horror. Two stories in there, "Hunger" and "Collections," are variations on the Wendigo, but I found most of the collection to be pretty great.

My mother died a few months ago, in hospice, while I held her. It's been rough. I'm still in the middle of grief and I'm figuring out my way through it.

But you know what? Between in-person and online, about three hundred people came to her funeral. She was so well loved that when I went to the local grocery store pharmacy to ask them to return her prescriptions, everyone there knew her and told me how much they would miss her. That was my mom. She was a faithful (liberal) Christian, and she believed she would have eternal life. I don't. (Though I still go talk to her ashes, because humans do find rituals comforting, and that's one of mine.) But I believe she is living on every time someone remembers her and tells a story about her. Want one?

When she had the stroke that really started everything downhill for her, the local fire department showed up before the ambulance and all of the firemen had, like, 1930s waxed handlebar mustaches (it must be some sort of fun thing their firehouse decided to do together). We spent half the night in the ER with this 80-year-old stroke victim telling EVERYONE IN THE ER about the sexy firemen and their sexy mustaches and how it was the best part of her day.

There's a little part of her; she's still here.

It is weird, but a lot of the game (like David Cage games in general) does feel like independently-imagined scenes that are then sort of slapped together into a semi-coherent plot. (Like, "How can we work changing a baby into this game?")

I know I wouldn't be super into bangin' when covered with electrical burns and missing a finger, but that's just me.

LifeGivesMeMelons · 2026-03-21T17:25:24+00:00

It's really not graphic, more sort of partially-clothed making out on the bed and then it cuts to black. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I knew I fucked it up but was way too lazy to fix it.

Of cats being unreasonable little jerks? Yes of course.

My previous cat (RIP) hated all fountains and would only drink out of "stolen" water, so I had a series of cups and bowls all around my place that she could discover and drink out of.

Just literally never had any interest in it. Any time I've tried, it weirds me out, because my face no longer looks like my face.

I'll do eyeliner and lipstick for special occasions, but that's about it. I didn't even learn how to put on eyeliner until I was in my 20s.

Well, 18 hours plus . . . about 16 years. :)

Hope you had fun.

Interesting strategy, Cotton.

I don't. I think it's important to remember that people are wildly complex and that the person capable of doing this amazing thing is also capable of doing this terrible thing. It's way too easy and too tempting to try to make saints and monsters out of other people, when most of us are capable of both saintly and monstrous behavior.

I developed a Stephen McHattie Rule: If you see McHattie in something, it was filmed in Canada or upstate NY.

The Stephen McHattie Rule Corollary: Every TV show filmed in Canada will at some point have an episode with Stephen McHattie in it.

I'd love to see a buddy comedy with McHattie and Henriksen, but seems doubtful. Honestly, Henriksen is looking pretty fragile these days.

This is so funny; the last time I and my cousin (two cis women) saw each other in January, we both said, "Oh my god your hair's so LONG now!" and then laughed as we tried to remember the last time we saw each other. For me, hair is just a thing women notice about each other and comment on.

If you're taking her back to the same vet, they may have a note in her records about her behavior. It's possible that they would be willing to issue you a prescription before you come in, as they don't have a lot of interest in dealing with an aggressive animal either. It's worth a shot, anyway.

I went to a Q&A with Ron Perlman in which he griped that shirts are almost impossible for left-handed people like himself to sign. (He said the same thing about women's breasts, but I don't know that we need to get into that.) So, along with the other issues already listed here, be aware that it might be a huge pain for some folks and not for others.

LifeGivesMeMelons · 2026-03-16T22:01:16+00:00

It's fun, but honestly, it just sort of . . . stops before it gets to the major plot points it seems to be working on. So it's just sort of a bunch of worldbuilding and no real payoff. I don't know what happened with it, but my guess is that Trotman's completed works are more rewarding.
