John Carpenter had a lively friday

Letterboxd screenshot John Carpenter Memoirs of an Invisible Man 1992 2 Watched Sep 20, 2024 I fucking hate this pile of shit and want every copy burned. LIKED 61 likes
John Carpenter HALLOWEEN II Halloween II 1981 Watched Sep 20, 2024 They paid me more money than I had ever seen to write a sequel to a film that did not need one. I took the check and spent it on beers to get me drunk enough to plow through this crap. I looked at the final script, which took a whopping 2 days to write, and said "wow, now that's a piece of shit." And it was. I had faith in Rick Rosenthal and he did not deliver. I suppose I expected him to be a miracle worker and nobody could've made this work. I don't regret hiring him. LIKE? 109 likes
John Carpenter DARK STAR Dark Star 1974 Watched Sep 20, 2024 Embarrising. I had not a single clue what I was doing. It's funny to think I thought a limosine would pick me up and take me to my first studio set after the world saw this movie. That never happened. I almost gave up and moved back home to Kentucky but I refused to let the world kick me down. Kinda. People tell me they really like this one and I tell them they're crazy. Hopefully your feature debut will be better than this. Won't be hard. LIKE? 43 likes
John Carpenter Reagan 2024 2 REAGAN Watched Sep 20, 2024 Everyone who made this should take a coma- inducing dose of LSD, stare at themselves in a mirror, and wait for their faces to morph into the hideous monsters they truly are. LIKED 226 likes

Apparently when you sell a game on itch you get an email notification. Imagine my surprise when I got one!

Krazy Kat singing Nirvana. The amount of effort I put into this is funnier than the cartoon itself.

A reminder to my colleagues in the humanities: a twenty year old was likely born in 2004, which means their cultural memory begins in roughly 2014 when they were 10. Pixar’s Inside Out came out in 2015, 45 was elected in 2016, Adele and Rihanna were the top singers.

cops aren’t trained to do anything other than escalate and kill and the profession basically attracts adrenaline junkies and bullied

Her family was aware of cops killing people in mental health crises and called 911 to get an ambulance to take her to a hospital. Cops came because it's "standard procedure" Only the cops arrived at their front door. They kicked it, entered & immediately shot Victoria www.nj.com/bergen/2024/...

Chris, Lee's brother, called 911 twice on July 28, according to the family's statement. At 1:15 a.m., Chris made the first call to 911, "specifically requesting an ambulance to take Victoria to Valley Hospital, where she had received treatment at its sister facility, Ramapo Mental Hospital, in the past," the family said. He was informed police would also accompany the ambulance because that is standard procedure for mental health calls.
Concerned by recent news of police shootings, Chris called 911 again at approximately 1:20 a.m. "to provide additional information and prevent any potential misunderstanding or unnecessary escalation with the police," the family said. Chris also asked that police not enter the apartment, but was told that the police were required to respond for mental health cases, the family said. To try and de-escalate the situation, Chris met police outside the door of the apartment, while Lee and her mother remained inside the unit. An officer asked Chris for a key to the apartment, which he didn't have, the family said. The officer then pushed Chris aside and started to kick the door, the family alleged.
