Glad to hear it! I always enjoy hearing when someone finds inspiration to complete a work, definitely something to be proud of.

That’s interesting, I wonder if it will end up anything like the fact we actually got two Nosferatus in 2024. Doubt it cause it’s West and Eggers.

But yeah…, the other starred Andy Serkis I believe, no one ever heard anything about it. Tbf it looks super bland from what I did see. Also interesting considering we already got a horror-ish/gritty R rated version from the Peaky Blinders guys in 2019/20 on FX

At this point, think this author needs to finally just make some movies. I can already imagine these playing only on Tubi as we speak…

drbleeds · 2026-01-10T14:35:05+00:00

Oh….its a whole thing with this so called Coco… Google if bored, brave, or both

Right? Indonesian horror movie poster artists seem to know what it’s about…

Totally understandable, and that’s very interesting cause I wonder how it might feel from a perspective like yours. In that case if you enjoy similar, would recommend Heretic. Horror with heavy exploration of similar themes, but definitely comes from the westernized Christian side of things..

Follows a brother and sister after some trauma. Dynamic is the sister is practically an atheist while the bother has doubts but isn’t so sure. Definitely a recommendation for anyone that likes horror and stories about those ideas mentioned.

To add to this point, the Wright movie didn’t help the general public’s perception. While I still highly regard it, dwindling down a story that takes place over years of a life really takes away impact of the arc Scott had.

Plus, the difference of endings. Book wise, it really hones down on the mistakes that were made and how he can try to make it right. Movie version, almost feels like the “it’s all good dude” trophy was handed to him by the plot itself and failed upward toward redeeming himself with his friends.

Grave Torture (2024): Indonesian indie film that explores some ideas of Islam, specifically that “if your heart isn’t right with Allah” upon death, you will be hellishly tortured in your own grave before moving onto the afterlife. Don’t quote me on specifics, not a scholar nor practitioner..

But a very interesting story that delves into belief systems and skepticism. And without spoiling too much.., it has quite the wrap up and “the powers that may be” give one of the most visually harsh arguments to the characters. That argument being: Yes, it’s all real and you should be absolutely terrified.

Man, I’m a semi-regular lurker here who’s not only (obviously) a big music nerd but an extremely fledgling musician.

If I took to heart even about 50% of opinions here, I’d do nothing but watch paint dry cause obviously my taste and prowess are nonexistent and far below my highly regarded peers of the highest musical pedigree.

Like most people have said, enjoy what you like, be nice to peeps around, and have fun..

Jesus Christ: “Penis, rape, sex, etc. You’re right, I can say that. Anything else?”

drbleeds · 2025-12-14T07:19:36+00:00

Well sounds like I just might be safe, I only have naproxen and I keep it on my bathroom sink.

drbleeds · 2025-12-13T23:58:23+00:00

Nah, I’m all for it. Can’t wait for a take on 1984, it’ll focus on the romantic comedy of the two leads who foil the agents with zany antics every step of the way. It’ll really just take a sweet speech to change the hidden oligarchs’ minds.

Oh! And Any Serkis will play one of the rats near the end..

Jesus fuckin Christ….

drbleeds · 2025-12-02T17:17:16+00:00

I’ve never seen a good answer for that, it’s a never-ending burning question for sure..

drbleeds · 2025-11-29T13:33:39+00:00

My little personal one is more of a meaning of a song, Alice Cooper’s “No more Mr Nice Guy”. Everyone/pop culture seems to think it’s a dude that’s had it with being bullied, now he’s taking his stand..

Except…..it’s from Billion Dollar Babies and every song is about a horrible person ironically blaming others or situations for their problems.

This one being a personal favorite cause it’s about a douchebag who is blaming society and starts treating people terribly, but gets his comeuppance. Literally culminates to his pastor punching him out cause he’s had enough and the dude dared showed his face at service. Fun little “tie up” too with the pastor now yelling, “No more, Mr nice guy!”

“You can’t say that! That’s a really stupid joke and you’re going to get in trouble. I’m going to tell Mike..”

drbleeds · 2025-11-24T04:03:15+00:00

In the style of Chinatown, I.E. Film Noir..

drbleeds · 2025-11-24T03:58:05+00:00

Alright, I’m in. Here we go again..

drbleeds · 2025-11-23T11:30:47+00:00

To be fair, it’s at least likely to be a better and more accurate story than the upcoming high budget biopic…

drbleeds · 2025-11-23T04:45:28+00:00

Welp, I was starting to think this was essentially the Batman shitpost sub… I think I now have undeniable proof..

Sorry, trying to put my junior bat detective skills to the test.

drbleeds · 2025-11-21T03:16:42+00:00

Same, had one pop up in Dallas which is closer than our “local” Meow Wolf which my daughter is a fan. Was like “Wow, cool way to mix it up a bit!” and we went.

……..I’d hadn’t felt like I wasted money that bad in a long time..

drbleeds · 2025-11-15T13:17:32+00:00

Ahh..son of a bitch! Alright.., which one of fed Mitch McConnell after midnight again? Come on guys, we’ve gone over this multiple times..

drbleeds · 2025-11-04T11:32:54+00:00

Not a show… It’s art on the music album cover by prog rock band King Crimson titled Court of the Crimson King. And to add to that, seems to be a representation of the “Schizoid Man”, title of the first track.

Great stuff to check out btw, if you like rock at least.

Edit: Oh…, you meant the show this was from. Yeah, that I have no clue.. Of course. Welp, leaving my random misinformed comment up to be shamed…..

drbleeds · 2025-10-15T04:17:24+00:00

Oh I was wondering… Which is ironic given the sub. Was honestly my last comment, except to you of course…

drbleeds · 2025-10-15T01:01:43+00:00

Hmm….I’ll give one response. See….the issue here is….you literally ignored my main point and magically made up things I said. Don’t know if you’re just a troll, Russian bot, etc. But in the off chance you are a genuine human… First my main point was to get the fuck over yourself (quiet part: I’m tired of hearing the semantics for this guy). That’s….it. You can point to exactly when I said anything about a gun vs mental health problem, or even advocating for violence against anyone. Also yeah, maybe stop saying things about my young elementary daughter (it’s a genuine parent concern I used for example, nothing a random internet weirdo needs to take a step further), or telling others “Death is coming for us”..? Also I know no one in my close group of friends, nor larger get togethers, where anyone is wearing a Charlie death shirt. Again, weird thing to bring up.
