Random Thought Thread

Sounds like my college roommate’s car, but he didn’t tell me any of this - in the dead of winter. He drove until a wheel fell off.

Keeping a muffler functional requires only soup can and electrical tape.

There’s one thing though: the driver’s door doesn’t close properly, so you’ll have to hold it shut.

And if you decide to stop, you’ll have to start it by push-starting it.

And yeah, don’t turn too sharply — the ball joint will pop off the control arm.

My second car I ever owned was a 1997 Mercury Sable. It turned out to be one of the best, most reliable cars I have ever owned. The exhaust finally rusted completely off and I sold it for $500 to a young gal who never registered it, and then enrolled in my Alma Mater and collected so many campus parking tickets they put a hold on MY transcripts until I brought public safety a copy of the bill of sale.

  • The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007) (it might seem like a trashy film)

 
I love horror movies, and honestly I have a huge list of them.

But loving this genre is kind of a problem.

Because most of the time, you end up digging through a lot of crap, haha.

There are tons of movies that are sort of “horror-adjacent.”

But often, what I define as a horror movie is something pretty cliche and stereotypical.

Like, in general, realistic or documentary-style films can scare you much more, or make you actually think about something.

I’m talking specifically about horror movies as something stereotypical.


South Korean or Japanese horror films, like A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) or The Wailing (2016), are something that is genuinely really scary and unusual in the horror genre.

A lot of horror movies, even though they’re good, have a problem — they tend to feel very similar to each other.

Hereditary and The Witch

They are extremely good specifically as horror films.

It’s the atmosphere of depressive hopelessness, or something like that, that makes them what they are.
