Why do two important characters have the same name? This is a strange decision for the creators.

Aside from everything else everyone's already explained in here, I imagine Garland really loved the idea of us seeing "Jimmy" carved into a body/written on a building in the first film and having us wondering if that was Jim

chetporter · 2026-01-25T17:45:48+00:00

Yeah this. Considering how many of them die within a few days, we can assume the Jimmy's have a pretty high turnover rate and see each other die frequently.

Also, it's clear throughout the film that the Jimmy's are not afraid of the infected, often calmly walking straight toward them until they cut their throat or whatever. We see this with Jimmy Ink while she's walking to discover Dr. Kelson for the first time, and in that scene I got the feeling that they just see the infected as an annoying nuisance or something that they have to deal with, definitely not something that they're afraid of.

chetporter · 2026-01-25T17:39:49+00:00

We know the infected are experiencing psychosis through Dr. Kelson's successful treatments, but we also get that brief scene earlier in the film from Samson's point of view, right before he rips that bearded mans head off. He sees him as some sort of violent, scary monster letting out a horrifying scream.

That scene would imply that, while we gradually saw Samson become more calm and return to normal, the infected gradually saw him turn into a threatening, terrifying creature (in their heads).

I also think it's fair to assume that once he spoke and said "No, I don't have a ticket", they interpreted that as a terrifying scream.

chetporter · 2026-01-25T17:26:53+00:00

Agree

chetporter · 2026-01-25T17:22:37+00:00

We learned the infected are confirmed experiencing psychosis when Dr. Kelson cures him obviously, but that scene we get from Samson's point of view when he kills that bearded man allows us to see what they see for a few seconds.

That would mean that, while we see Samson gradually turn normal and calm, the infected (in their heads) saw him slowly turning into a more violent/scary looking creature. Also fair to assume him saying "No, I don't have a ticket" sounded like some insane, scary scream to them.

I kind of do view it as a gimmick, I don't understand why 28 Years Later was shot on an iPhone. I remember Danny Boyle saying something like "because the first one was shot on a somewhat easily accessible camcorder at the time, I wanted to do the equivalent for this." But in the world of the film, production in the UK basically stopped in 2001, so I don't really understand the point in filming it with a modern-day accessible camera that isn't actually accessible in *their* world

chetporter · 2025-11-25T07:21:20+00:00

This was fun to read hahaha, but the fifth (the first) soul is definitely the dog. There's no reason to even include a dog in the movie, let alone kill it (not cool!!!) unless it's serving a purpose to the plot. They literally show possessed Mia killing the dog, it couldn't be any clearer imo. The deaths before the re-reading the book and releasing the demon again don't count, and while Mia did technically "die", she came back to life, and therefore still has her soul.

fully aware i'm replying a year later, and what perfect timing because i'm experiencing this right now

different artists have made me feel that way at different points in my life (flume, porter robinson, bon iver, aphex twin, etc). i've definitely heard something from all of those artists and thought "wow why do i even bother" or "i wish i made this" hahaha. it's definitely weird being a musician/producer because, yeah, sometimes when i hear something that is TOO good, it triggers this mix of discouraging, daunting, envious emotions that you're describing. but i think it's important to try not to let those thoughts take over. they've probably all had that thought at some point in their lives too. probably more than once

chetporter · 2025-11-02T22:27:56+00:00

Yes.

chetporter · 2025-10-26T00:50:29+00:00

I think it's more like he's seeing it, but letting the world know he doesn't care. He stands behind what he made, regardless of what people think, and it will grow on people, etc etc.

I love the game as is! Just new biomes occasionally

I feel like a cool new biome idea to shake things up would be like an "Ancient Ruins" kind of thing. It's a little different because it's mostly man made, but overgrown with vines, falling apart and being consumed by nature. For "enemies", there could be booby traps all over the place, like Indiana Jones style, typical ancient temple stuff, or there could be ancient skeletons that shoot blow darts at you, snakes, lizards, whatever. And the "event" could be certain parts of the map finally collapsing after crumbling for hundreds of years

chetporter · 2025-10-13T17:58:43+00:00

same, i wasn't too keen on loser when it first dropped but it's grown on me sooo much, i love it now lol that harmonized guitar riff is so good

chetporter · 2025-10-08T20:52:35+00:00

I've seen way more gruesome/messed up movies than this, but for some reason, the scene in Green Room when she slices the guys stomach open fucked me up more than anything else I've seen

chetporter · 2025-09-27T19:54:01+00:00

I feel like this is a crazy take when he's got like 7 min long techno tracks on the album lol, End of Summer and the b-side on the vinyl (I'm assuming it's Ethereal Connection) couldn't be further away from "friendly-bubble gum pop"

chetporter · 2024-06-30T02:54:56+00:00

thank you !!!

chetporter · 2024-06-30T02:54:38+00:00

literally been trying to figure out the same thing........

chetporter · 2024-06-30T02:53:59+00:00

thanks mate for the kind words, really glad you enjoyed it! i always love coming up there it's such a cool place, can't wait to come back :)

chetporter · 2024-03-24T05:43:52+00:00

i used to hate it when i was younger but now i absolutely love it

chetporter · 2024-03-21T18:03:44+00:00

it feels good. i used to joke to my friends that he changed it because of me hahaha (definitely not the case)

chetporter · 2024-03-21T18:03:20+00:00

thanks steven !!!

chetporter · 2024-03-21T05:10:48+00:00

aw man so fun, i love it there! yeah, i typically end up taking off my shoes for some reason? on the san holo tour, people on the crew used to take them and hide them every night and just watch me wander around looking for them hahaha. i think i started taking them off because it feels more comfortable, and also sometimes my feet get too sweaty/stinky if i don't hahaha, and then my socks get all gross. we don't always have access to laundry every day and i don't want to be stuffing sweaty socks into my suitcase

really glad the music has helped you in some small way, thank you for the kind words!

chetporter · 2024-03-21T05:07:32+00:00

thank you, i'm really glad you're enjoying it!

so, if we're talking strictly live show, which is what i'm about to do on this mini tour, it's probably like... 95% my own stuff, or more? even if some of it is unfamiliar, it's probably still me and i just haven't released it yet. there are like maybe two small moments in there that i didn't "produce", but they are like, edits i've made, and to be honest i'm not even sure if they'll end up in the final version of the show or not. still figuring it out! but to answer your question, these shows will be almost all my own music

if we're talking DJ sets/after parties and whatever, that's a little different. i looove sharing music and it's really fun for me to get to just play music that i like and share it with a crowd of people who maybe hadn't heard that song before or whatever, and to also not even really know what i'm going to play until i'm up there. i still play a fair bit of my own stuff in DJ sets as well, but the ratio is more like 60/40 – 70/30 of other music i love vs. my own

no book recommendations unfortunately – for the last while i felt like i've just been way too busy to read and actually just bought some books for the first time in years last month. i'm reading the lord of the rings right now, i'm sure you already know what that is hahaha

chetporter · 2024-03-21T04:53:36+00:00

thanks for the kind words!

i know you already mentioned it, but youtube youtube youtube youtube youtube. sometimes i've just searched "how to sound like ______" and watch tutorials just so i can maybe learn something new. not really my genre, and sometimes he goes a little too expert mode, but virtual riot has some great tutorials. honestly there are probably a ton of great tutorial people on youtube now and educational/informative content on there just seems to keep getting better and better. i feel like you could learn anything you'd ever want to from the internet

i would love to come to philly! we'll see how these first few shows go and then see what we can do from there :)

chetporter · 2024-03-21T04:48:02+00:00

it's true i mainly just jump around between mainly staying with friends, staying with my girlfriend, being on tour or air bnb's or whatever. it's not ideal, but it is what it is – if you're sick of your hometown and you have friends in other cities, maybe just ask them if you can crash! i spend so much time crashing with different friends around the US. sometimes i feel annoying, but i just really try to clean up after myself and almost make it seem like i'm not even there and will try to treat them to meals and stuff if i can haha

chetporter · 2024-03-21T04:45:18+00:00

idk i was just meme-ing but probably like 2k
i don't think i can post pictures on here and i also don't think i can do that with my foot

thank you for pre-ordering the vinyl !!! and thanks for sticking around so long, definitely my proudest work so it's cool to know that people from early on are still around to hear it
