allthingshorror_feed Sep. 17th, 2025 11:17 pm)So excited for this era of horror. Pearl (and X), the substance and this all carry themes of female sexuality and insecurity portrayed in the coolest ways possible. I’m not usually into artsy films, (I’m a lil op dumb for that) but the visuals alone are gnarly enough to keep me hooked. Hooray for horror!

allthingshorror_feed Sep. 17th, 2025 11:09 pm)Just wondering if anyone else loves this movie? I know it didn’t get good reviews but to me it’s such a great horror movie. Dracula, werewolves, and Frankenstein all in one movie with Hugh Jackman, come on! I probably watch it 3 times a year. I’d also love a new movie version of it.

I mentioned Ray Nayler's phrase "extraction zones" in my last post. Here are some podcast episodes I've listened to in the last few months that have alerted me to similar evocative turns of phrase:
I do listen to some fiction and review podcasts, not only history/analysis. :-)
- *It Could Happen Here*: Neoliberalism Part 3: Where Is Paul Volker (Dec. 2021): In part 3 of our series on Neoliberalism we look at the coup in Chile, the Volker shock, the collapse of the G77, Venezuela's failed industrialization campaign and the conversion of the Third World into debt colonies.
- *The Outlaw Ocean*: Waves of Extraction (October 2022): It's the podcast and episode titles that grabbed my attention, but the episode description is A trip to Gambia to learn how fishmeal is meant to slow the depletion of fish from the seas but is actually accelerating the problem.
- *A Matter of Degrees*: The Tongass: A Way Forward for the Forest (Mar. 2023): Marina and Richard describe the boom-and-bust extractive economy of the past [in Alaska].

Another major tributary reached the Australian outback lake in 2025, extending the months-long flood of the vast, ephemeral inland sea.

"One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) is a magical movie. So fucking quoteable. So melancholic an

moviessubreddit_feed Sep. 17th, 2025 10:33 pm)It's been a couple years since I've seen it so I was nice and fresh for a rewatch. Man it hits so fucking high. I forget how good the dialouge in this movie is. "That fucking nurse man...she ain't honest", "I'm not as big as you Mac"
It really, really makes me wanna sit down and read the book. I can just feel how much context is missing from these incredible characters backgrounds. I also assume the book is set in the 50's? Because they never mention a time frame for the movie so I assume it happens in the 70's, but everything about the settting feels like the 50's
I wanted to say this is Jack Nichelsons best performance, but I'm conflicted cause I also love The Shining. But honestly, everybody's great in this. I can't think of a single person who wasn't giving a top notch performance.
It's an incredible story. If you judge the plot purely by the events that happen, everything becomes worse by McMurphy arriving to the hospital. Objectively, Mac's a bad person. He has a long rep sheet, he even says I fuck and fight too much. His antics lead to a lot of bad shit happening.
And yet he's exactly what those poor bastards needed to take a break from that domineering nurse and the cold, sterile enviorment she created.
That said, everybody remembers Nurse Ratched from this movie as the villain, but Washington the orderly is also a pretty good side villain. He takes entirely too much pleasure in pushing these outcasts around and delights in punishing them.

moviessubreddit_feed Sep. 17th, 2025 08:55 pm)What's a movie you recommend that you think most people have missed? For whatever reason, under marketed, weird streaming release plan, for whatever reason, a movie just flew under the radar
My example of this is "Shimmer Lake". I knew nothing about it going into it, I can't even remember what made me watch it. Then 10 minutes into the movie, I realized it was going to be in reverse chronological order, which I thought was a gimmick. By the end of the movie, I'm not sure they could have told it in proper sequence, it totally worked. It's was a thoroughly enjoyable movie. I recommended it to my friends Whatsapp group, and those that watched it really enjoyed it as well
Any under appreciated movie recommendations out there? I'm hoping to get some good movies from this thread.

peaceful_sands posting in bitesizedcleaning Sep. 17th, 2025 11:23 pm)Another week has passed us by and some of us might still be stampeding, some of us might be stepping more cautiously or even hobbling along struggling (like me) trying to balance out other commitments and squeeze in a few blasts of time to catch up.
If you've been using the table and tackling something each day, feel free to tell us all about it this week. If not here's the table and pick up with today's (or any other day that suits) and tell us about it when you can - use this post until I manage to get up to speed enough to make another one.
Wishing you well for the next week ahead and remember the aim of the month's challenges is that most can be adapted to fit what you need so if it says a 'flat surface', any type of flat surface will do - desks, worktops, floors, tables and so on. Similarly a vertical surface could be a window, a tiled wall, mirror or door. Part of the challenge is deciding how to apply the daily challenge (ha ha!).
This is supposed to be a low-stress challenge - if you miss a day, it doesn't matter, if the day's challenge doesn't suit, repeat the day before or start on the next day's. With the exception of two days, the challenges should take about 10 minutes, if you want to spend longer that's great, judge by your personal available time and energy.
To make it easier to take part and not be held up by time differences and days when I'm not able to post, all challenges will be posted in the table below the cut to aid both those taking part and the daily poster.
My biggest request for the month is that, whenever you can, you join in the chat - even if you haven't done the day's challenge come and cheer for others. We're here for the ups and downs this month so you can tell us when you're struggling as well as celebrate your successes.
( Daily Challenge Table shown below the cut )
And so today's challenge is, depending on where/when you are reading this (but I'll go with the 17th/18th) to either spend 10 minutes on a flat surface or on a vertical one.
Good luck and enjoy what's left of your September.

allthingshorror_feed Sep. 17th, 2025 09:39 pm)I’ve noticed that there’s a trend on here where people will be very rude to others with differing opinions on a film. Can we please just recognize that others might have different opinions and it’s not a personal attack is someone didn’t like a movie you did like?
For example, looking at any of the anti-Weapons threads and you’ll see a ton of people calling others dumb or insulting them because they didn’t like the movie. I see this time and again and it’s a major bummer to see this level of negativity in this community when someone is just trying to have a conversation about their opinion

slacktivist_feed Sep. 17th, 2025 08:57 pm)Laura Robinson on why Screwtape is so good and its imitators are so bad. Plus some grave visits and that discussion of Pentecostal historiography you've all been waiting for.
books
still reading Pawn in Frankincense by Dorothy Dunnett. I haven't had the time to really focus on it, so I've been reading Kirk/Spock longfic.
yarning
I finished the crocheted globe for Niece and it looks pretty good. Definitely good enough for a child turning 5, though it's a little unevenly stuffed in a couple of places & I can't get it to shift. Am sad I had to miss yarn group this week, but yesterday I made a 3in diameter moon to go with the Earth. Hopefully it'll all fit in the box.
Yuletide
I nommed:
- The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty. (Amina, Dalila, Raksh, and Jamal)
- Shadow of the Leviathan by Robert Jackson Bennett (Ana, Din, Kepheus)
- A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher (Cordelia, Hester, Richard, Penelope)
- Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher (Anja, Snow, Grayling)
- Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert (Icarus, Poseidon, Hades, Penelope)
sadly, Batman: Wayne Family Adventures and Rivers of London both look too large to nom this year, if I'm gauging them right. Drat!
