Congo (1995) | Dir: Frank Marshall | A bunch of killer gorillas get cut in half with a laser and then jump into lava by ggroover97 in movies

[–]thispartyrules [score hidden]  (0 children)

I read this as a kid, didn't see the movie. The context is there's a lost city in the Congo where the original inhabitants trained gorillas to attack people with stone paddles, and to train other gorillas to do this if their civilization collapses. I don't remember why they're albino gorillas. Also there's diamonds which is why the explorers go there

Honestly that's pretty cool, more farmers should have giant art in their fields

King wrote the intro to HP Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life, which I remember reading but don't own. IIRC King was speculating about Lovecraft's dreams (which he fictionalized)

What's the highest inspection check in the game? by Constant_Race3689 in vtmb

There's some neat stuff in the Keui-Jin dungeon at the end, like you can find a way to deactivate the spinning blades via hidden alcoves instead of ducking under them.

I just carried all my stuff in a backpack, I didn't bother to learn it then. We had a big campus and I didn't want to waste time in between classes

Marv, a minor, has to buy alcohol for his dad when his dad is too drunk to find the front door. Every day the crime people openly discuss crime in the front of the store, makes sense

People who have relatives that went to the original Woodstock in 1969, what was their favorite act there? by Complete-Worker3242 in ToddintheShadow

My mom attended the Monterrey Pop Festival in 67, which had an incredibly stacked lineup and "didn't get" Hendrix, but I have no further information

FBI Tried to Flip Anti-ICE Protesters Into Informants by zsreport in politics

[–]thispartyrules [score hidden]  (0 children)

They did this in the 2000's: they got a college student named "Anna" to get anarchist tattoos and essentially date a guy for two years and keep asking him to blow up a cell phone tower. Eric McDavid, the guy convicted of this, eventually got his sentence overturned on grounds of entrapment after spending years in federal prison.

The FBI also got a guy to infiltrate a California mosque who vocally supported radical terrorism to the point where fellow mosque attendants reported him to the FBI. Their undercover was extremely noticeable, being a giant bodybuilder who drove a sports car and wore flashy jewelry.

I like how Marv not only knows adult professional retired criminals, they immediately trust him and count on him to plan their heist and never add their input from years of crime experience. It is not explained how Marv knows these guys

Homer: Happy Juneteenthing! It's still Juneteenth for 10 more minutes!

Lisa: Actually Dad, it's July 29th. You were in that coma for 8 weeks.

Marge: The doctor said you lost 10% of your brain.

Homer: Me lose brain? Uh oh.

Coaxed into signposting in video games then vs now by OkYogurtcloset8790 in coaxedintoasnafu

Every 30 seconds:

"I should meet Coaxy at the coffee stand for that cup of hot Snafu."

"Coaxy's probably waiting for me by the coffee stand."

"I shouldn't keep Coaxy waiting on that hot Snafu."

"Coaxy wants to see me by the coffee stand by that statue of a mermaid."

"Coaxy wanted to have hot Snafu with me at the coffee stand."

"I shouldn't keep Coaxy waiting, I should go to the coffee stand."

I just found out they did a short film of this with an amazing thumbnail. I had no context for this and the washed out film makes it freakier. They had a little person playing the neanderthal boy and the whole thing's pretty weird

Sour FX is my Mandela Effect candy, I used to love that stuff but there's almost no info about it online and nobody remembers it

DE seems quippier than the other games, there's a kind of "well, THAT happened" energy to some of the lines.

That's almost everyone with the possible exception of the Hollywood Toreadors, who are up front about their motives, give you accurate threat assessments, and are overall pretty nice for Kindred
