Terrifier, 2016 - ★½

This is a pretty rote slasher, without much of the whimsy and humor Art the Clown would later grow. It's also incredibly misogenistic and transphobic, thanks to a few of the more elaborate kills near the end. Really inessential.

New proposal for a Turing test to detect tech bros: have a text only conversation for five minutes. If mentions of being in a simulation > 0, tech bro detected.

All Hallows' Eve, 2013 - ★

This sucked, and I understand how these movies got a reputation for misogyny now. Glad Damien got better. A few good scenes but mostly pretty lame.

Saturday Night, 2024 - ★★★

One time, the seventies threw up a TV show.

The Wild Robot, 2024 - ★★★½

Yep, I cried.

I got this political ad texted to me: “AMISH for Trump”. Who do I tell that they’re barking up the wrong tree, twice? 🇺🇸

A NYC subway display for the upcoming Hudson Yards bound 7 train, but the screen is all glitchy.

Sometimes, the MTA is fun. 🚇

Terrifier 3, 2024 - ★★★

Watched on Sunday October 13, 2024.

If you don’t vote, apologize to democracy, you putz. 🇺🇸

I used Letterboxd besties to find everyone with my same listed favorite movies. No one had the exact same, four or any of the same three. 🍿🦄

Had a great time at #smashingconf. Thanks to all the speakers and organizers and staff. Everyone was very kind and approachable and I learned a lot.

TIL the word “Tesselate”, which is a repeating pattern, like a honeycomb. ⬣

The Final Girls, 2015 - ★★★★

So fun

Artistic storytelling websites are alive and well on the internet. I’m late to the party, but this is incredible. The less said the better. Takes about an hour to read.

There’s a billboard on the NJ Turnpike reading, “Reasons to take the train? There’s a lot” Strange for a PR campaign ad to leave their message as an exorcise for the reader.

I beat the Mario RPG remake while cat sitting this past week. Lots of nostalgia for this one, and the updated graphics and sound were a fun way to reexperience it. 🕹️

I’ve been cat sitting Rocco this week. Here’s how it’s going. 🐈‍⬛

Got some doodling in today.

Two doodles on small pieces of paper. One is a skeleton prancing with some flowers around. The other is a whimsical bearded crazy hair face who’s smiling.

TIL background-blend-mode and a background-image is the only way to do a mix blend mode on an image. You can’t do that with an absolutely-positioned <img> tag.
