  • don’t forget the camera work

    One element that fits under “creative problem-solving”.

    That long subjective camera rush towards Ash (Campbell), the one that continued the cliffhanger end of Evil Dead 1, then lifting Ash and spinning him at high speed… I can deconstruct more or less how they did it - at regular or slow speed, Campbell strapped to a board and on an axes, etc. - but I still can’t wrap my head around the insanely good final result. It’s like… one of the best examples in cinema of something being more than the sum of its’ parts.

    That’s like A Bout De Soufflé caliber gourmet shit, Jimmy!




  • Isn’t it a line of defense against insects?
    “Animals” would be broad enough to be true,
    “Mammals” zoomed in on the wrong kingdom.

    Which may be even better as a joke, here’s this thing smug in having finally found a technique to defend itself against a 100 million year foe, like Moe throwing insect Barney out of his bar, and here’s mammal Barney behind Moe again!


  • Polite words after someone kicks the bucket, whoever they may be, is politics, understandable.

    That said, it does seem like she went out of her way to lay it on thick, didn’t she? With a nasty synthetic aftertaste to it. She chose her words carefully and it looks like her kissing the boot of a fucking goddamned sick soulless monster.

    Here’s my obituary for cheney:
    He shot a man in the face, then abused his tremendous privilege to avoid police questioning for 36 hours, after he’d had time to sober up, even as he got hundreds of thousands of people killed by kicking a hornet’s nest in the Middle East, all for oil profit of his Halliburton and Clearwater buddies.

    Rest not, but wallow in shit and eternal damnation,
    Dick “Why Don’t You Go FUCK YOURSELF?!!” Cheney
