    It’s a communal project in which people make up lovecraftian monsters and objects that they share on a wiki, basically. There’s an expansive system of lore to it, including an MIB-esque organization that is collecting and, when possible, innoculating them, as well as all these different methods and procedures for interacting with them and categorizing them and junk.

    Lots of strange and creative ideas scattered throughout. I liked it when it was just starting off but haven’t kept up, so I can’t speak for the modern quality overall, though I’m sure they’ve still got some bangers here and there.




  • I was hesitant about adding Blue Velvet to my list because it’s so…‘difficult’, let’s say. Lynch knocked it out of the park (as usual), but it’s just so deeply unsettling on so many interesting levels. Thinking about it tho, that might be exactly why I should have added it. Eh. Either way, great picks!

    And please continue making edits lol. You’ve got good taste and I plan on checking this thread over the the next couple days just to compare notes/see what I want to watch next.








  • In no particular order:

    • The Thing
    • In The Mouth Of Madness
    • Pulp Fiction
    • Kill Bill (both volumes)
    • The Princess Bride
    • Everything Everywhere All at Once
    • Thelma and Louise
    • Secondhand Lions
    • I ❤️ Huckabees
    • Amadeus
    • The Big Lebowski
    • Princess Mononoke
    • Spirited Away
    • Red Line
    • Summer Wars
    • Evil Dead 2 *~
    • Hellboy: The Crooked Man **
    • John Wick 2 ***

    *~ not a sequel, but a reimagining, if anyone’s curious. No need to have seen the first to enjoy this.

    ** also not a sequel. By far the best live action piece to come out of this franchise. The only one worth watching tbh

    *** direct sequel. They’re all pretty good, but this one is, visually, as nice as the genre gets imo. The choreography and cinematography, both, are simply beautiful.

    Edit: Fargo and Akira belong on this list too


  • Some of them do it because they dont want to admit to being fascists themselves…for now. Others genuinely do not care what the true meaning of the word is, and of them, many actively choose to refuse to learn. And some others still are just saying what the talking heads they trust tell them to say, regardless of what they know or knew before.

    Regardless of where they fall on this spectrum, reduction is a big part of the message, one way or another. Restricting how people understand this concept makes it easier to actualize it because vast swaths of these fools will be unable to recognize it for what it is until they find themselves in its very maw.

    Are we all doomed? Cause it’s feeling more and more like we might all be doomed before long ngl
