the most sinister dog in american cinema
4K disc worth the money btw
the effects in this movie are incredible, and not just the creature effects. the scene of macreedy and co. exploring the wrecked spaceship is a great combination of built sets, matte painting, and location shots.
keith david is of course the greatest, but he also should have been a much bigger star. a guy who just radiates charisma. and that voice!
people think of this as a horror movie but i really see it as one of the great paranoia thrillers as well
the scene when they are testing the blood…just the high point of the film. absolutely perfect.

My column today is on Manchin (again) and specifically the opposition to freeing Americans from market dependence. Shoutout to @rortybomb for his terrific book. nytimes.com/2021/10/19/opi…
If you listen to @ezraklein's show, you might have noticed that I'm the host today. Ezra is on leave, and I took the helm this week while he's away. My first interview was with @woodyholtonusc and it was a terrific conversation. I hope you listen. nytimes.com/2021/10/19/opi…
Here's @rortybomb's book if you're interested. thenewpress.com/books/freedom-…

once spent two hours watching youtube videos of people speed running this game
and yes i have watched the summoning salt video as well as the videos of blindfolded runs
i am sure i am not the only person who has had to explain to his partner that he is not actually playing the game but watching other people play the game and beat it very quickly

Getting real tired of the pure wishcasting that is passing for analysis of this race. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Take this paragraph, which I read as dismissive. “Of course the city of Virginia Beach voted this down.” Except, VB — the largest single city in Virginia — is a vital swing area in the state, nearly evenly divided between Republican and Democratic voters, with lots of indies.
far from an “of course,” if the Virginia Beach school board is voting down a CRT resolution, that actually says something important about its potency as an election issue.

the one thing i don’t get is why the authorities haven’t just closed crystal lake to the public. by jason takes manhattan, dozens of teens have died at the lake and in the surrounding area. why not close it to the public? or better yet, fill it in with concrete.
fair point, fair point
“local activists try to shut down crystal lake but authorities refuse to because it is too profitable thus facilitating jason’s return” is actually a pretty good premise for a reboot

yes yes yes gawker.com/culture/the-ve…
the core of peter parker's character arc is that he was a shitty, self-absorbed kid who through chance and tragedy gained the opportunity to be something so much better, and he devotes his life to trying to achieve that
not here to tell people they can't like the new spider-man stuff i'm just saying that there is a reason the character has endured for 60 years and it a lot of it has to do with the inherent pathos of "you could have saved your surrogate father's life if you weren't such a jerk."

this exactly. the fact of the matter is that some set percentage of the population is going to behave recklessly regardless of the form of transportation they use. but reckless driving is infinitely more dangerous than reckless cycling and much, much more common.
like, do people not notice how practically every other person driving is on their phone, sometimes with it directly in front of their face?
in fairness to drivers, it is also true that too much car infrastructure is designed to move a vehicle as quickly as possible through a space. think cities with wide streets and multiple lanes cutting through commercial (and sometimes residential) areas.
