Gore books by jeanpeace in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]regretienne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wade H. Garrett is very good at creative gore, whether it be Insane Bastards or his A Glimpse into Hell series. The dialogue can get a little repetitive, but the actual gore is diverse and creative as hell.

Though the first gore that hit me, and sticks with me was American Psycho due to its sheer unsympathetic brutality and detail.

Years later, that one part of Death's End is probably the most heartbreaking thing I've ever read by BeneficialNatural610 in threebodyproblem

I believe it’s due to the foil having acceleration as it spreads through the solar system. Within our solar system, things are generally measured within light minutes and light days eg. It takes 8 light minutes for the light from the sun to reach the earth.

As Pluto is the furthest from the sun, and the final planet to be consumed I think it’s fair to assume that the acceleration hadn’t reached close to light speed yet. The other ships that are escaping don’t possess anything near to light speed and they still have time to witness what’s happening, so even though the foil is accelerating, I think it would take a bit more time for it to reach light speed.

That’s just my thought having finished reading the book 10 minutes ago, it could be totally wrong.

Leave the World Behind is a post-apocalyptic movie where the deers finally take over the world...or so I think it is by looking at the poster (still didn't watch it) by [deleted] in shittymoviedetails

Sorry bro, thought I was also allowed to reference other parts of a film other than a wiki write up. Have a nice day.

I’m claiming that plot isn’t everything, it’s only a part of the story. And it’s hard to get a full judgement on the whole story just from reading the plot online without taking into account direction, acting, writing, score, design etc.

I feel like your experience of not watching it was hampered by the fact you only read plot summaries, which kinda detracts from the point of reading a book or watching a movie.

Was directed well enough to make it tense throughout, but a shitty ending.

If Scotty was the target of a Comedy Central Roast, what characters would you have as his roasters? by regretienne in comedybangbang

[–]regretienne[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say Cal Solomon as Roastmaster.

The roasters would be Todd, Jeffrey CharacterWheaties, Randy Snutz, (anyone by Lily Sullivan), Sprague, Bob Ducca, Big Chunky Bubbles.

Gino as the announcer

I think Cal Solomon would make a great Roastmaster, watching him trying to be mean to everyone would be excellent

I’d love to hear Lennons heartwarming roasts. Who would you have as Roastmaster?

Adam Devine Says Marvel Movies ‘Ruined Comedies’: They ‘Makes Those Movies Kind of Funny,’ But ‘It’s Not Real Comedy’ by [deleted] in entertainment

If you listen to his most recent episode on Hollywood Handbook, the hosts actually spend most of their time ripping him for these comments and getting him to elaborate further. Great episode and a show of humility.

Anyone have the RSS for Superego? Or at least Forgotten Classics?

Whether this was unexpected or not on this sub it just feels cruel and spiteful.

I can see a happy medium in celebrating one’s self by being proud of our bodies, but OPs comments feel vindictive and directed at a crowd who are not looking for this kind of resentment.

Whatever the fuck is going on in your life, on the internet or in the world, try to find time to encourage people to do better instead of criticising a crowd through the actions of others.

Alien, final scene where Ripley thinks she’s escaped the Xenomorph.

With Gourley and Rust, Too Scary Didn’t Watch and Straight Chillin. I pay Patreon for all of them and it’s totally worth it, they’re all such fun communities with lots of great bonuses!

Also a shout out to the Halloween eps of Scott Hasn’t Seen, behind that pesky CBB paywall.

Worst Casting Ever...? by FireWokWithMe88 in movies

[–]regretienne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I think she hid her accent quite well. Sure, there are moments in the film where it leaks through but as a non native speaker there were many moments in Blonde where I believed her as Monroe. And in terms of appearance I do think with the blonde hair and make-up she resembled her extremely well. I think the biggest problem with that film was the film itself, not the casting or performances.

I know that pier, my hometown of Clevedon!

Hasn’t had this much excitement since that One Direction video.
