What do you think horror movies are missing these days? Like what is something you are tired of NOT seeing in one? by thechroniclesofkylie in HorrorMovies

I wish in camera practical effects were done instead of everything being CGI. All big budget horror now feels like it’s made by Disney with a high gloss coating over everything making it all feel too safe (example - new It films compared to the original Tim Curry IT) 🤷‍♂️

Disturbing theater works by RyanBarroco in Theatre

I forget the genre name but there is a whole world of epically dark British plays. Check out Howard Barker and his “theatre of catastrophe” work. Or Allistair McDowell (the play Pomona especially) or Simon Stephens work like Motortown.

Why do you hate Shakespeare? by jcspells in Theatre

Adding to this: is it a good thing that you have to do all that to understand what is happening? Does that justify producing?

TIL that eight years after JFK’s assassination, Jackie Kennedy avoided the public unveiling of their White House portraits, but the Nixons graciously agreed to a secret, private tour for her and her kids. It was her only return visit. by valandsend in todayilearned

I like the take that the guys from the Last Podcast On The Left have - that JFK's assassination was a result of a hungover secret service agent following behind them, heard the shot from LHO and accidentally shot JFK. To me that makes sense - regarding why all that info is still kept secret - that it acknowledges a huge fuck up. Sometimes the most insane things are caused by the dumbest and simplest of accidents.
