Illuminostro,

Maybe he’ll take his ball and go home.

Illuminostro,

Good. Now revoke his citizenship, passport, and broadcasting license.

Illuminostro,

Yes.

Illuminostro,

1 box of Hamburger Helper.1 lbs. ground beef, brrowned. Add a can of tomato sauce, and half a cup each of diced green bell peppers and onion. Add 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. 4 or 5 liberal splashes of Texas Pete.

Illuminostro, (edited )

Where do you live? There are no grocery stores?

Illuminostro,

Ah, gotcha. Hamburger Helper is just noodles and the powdered stroganoff sauce in a box. Texas Pete is just pepper sauce. Substitute what you have locally.

Illuminostro,

Made with peppers.

Illuminostro,

Oh no… anyway…

Illuminostro,

There’s a word for this situation. I can’t remember it, but it’s reich there, white on the tip of my tongue…

Illuminostro,

Lmao, I’m going to use that, you magnificent bastard!

Illuminostro,

Louis and Marie thought the same thing.

Illuminostro,

No, they flexed nuts because one of “Those People” said no. Can’t have that.

Illuminostro,

If they’d cut the kung fu stuff, it would have been better, in my opinion. But it’s not a terrible film.

Illuminostro,

The sequence where the Asian dude fights the head cannibal mutant toward the end, then gets suckered in by the cannibal mutant child. The whole thing is unnecessary, and taints what could have been a semi-serious scifi/horror flick. Don’t get me wrong, it’s one of my guilty pleasures. It started out strong, then turned into a Paul W. S. Anderson flick. The same dude who cheapened Event Horizon, which could have also been awesome, instead of Hellraiser in Space, part 2. But I’m sure the producers on both flicks had a lot to do with them.

Illuminostro,

Ellison wrote almost every popular scifi TV property in the 60’s and 70’s.

Illuminostro,

I need to check that out. Heard only good things. Octavia Butler’s stuff is great, too.

Illuminostro,

Vivarium was true scifi/horror, not the cut and paste dumbed down garbage we mostly get.

And for The Thing, DON’T watch the “prequel,” if you already haven’t. It’s a beat by beat remake. It’s a “Requel,” a remake posing as a prequel/sequel. I wanted to burn the theater down when I saw it. But knowing that now, watch it, as see what I’m talking about.

Illuminostro,

I had no idea there was a book. Link me to it?

Illuminostro,

The two things I remember about the book and the film is the sphere making people hallucinate, and Hoffman’s character saying 'People who really want to kill themselves don’t take pills. They buy a gun."

Illuminostro,

If you liked the unknowable, unfathomable alien trope, check out his book “His Master’s Voice.” It’s great, too. Stanislaw Lem, that is.

Illuminostro,

Well, how else are you going to lure the meat sacks into it otherwise?

Illuminostro,

One of the best lines in cinema, ever.

Illuminostro,

Existential insanity.

“The empty black is so vast, and we mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme, which doesn’t exist. It’s all just random variables.”

We’re all nerds, we get it. But Whedon should have elaborated on it just little more.

Illuminostro,

“Fuck this ship.”

Illuminostro,

Tortured forever in the warp.

Illuminostro,

I wish it would have went the unknowable, unfathomable Lovecraft route, instead of Hellraiser in space. Hell is the alternate dimension? Not a completely alien alternate dimension?

That said, it was fun.

Illuminostro,

Netflix’s “The Haunting of Hill House” had some genuine unsettling, creepy moments. The tall ghost who followed the addict child around was creepy as hell.

Illuminostro,

More gore isn’t scary.

Illuminostro,

That kind of thing is more effective when it’s implied. When you just get oblique flashes.

Illuminostro,

I love horror. But I think Stephen King is his best in his short stories, and in my opinion, his best is “Last Rung on the Ladder.” An absolutely heartbreaking tale of grief, and regret.

Illuminostro,

“What the hell, I mean what the hell is goin’ on here!”

Illuminostro,

I didn’t play it, but watched the playthrough, and it was absolutely fantastic.

Illuminostro,

It’s existential terror. The good kind.

Illuminostro,

There’s a remake? Thanks for the warning.

Illuminostro,

It’s “The Color Out of Space,” but more intellectual. I liked the remake of “Color” with Cage, too.

Illuminostro,

That was a good one.

Illuminostro,

I watched up to the point where the girl and the guy run into ruffians, and didn’t get back to it. Think I’ll give it another go.

Illuminostro,

Is Sputnik the one where something is hiding in someone? I liked that, and the others you listed.

Illuminostro,

The remake was good, but the tunnel scene with the absolutely awful CGI kind tainted it.

Illuminostro,

Oooo, that one was really good. Especially the sequence when something showed up that encouraged them, but was left ambiguous.

Illuminostro,

I hear ya, I used to buy Fangoria magazine!

Illuminostro,

The King in Orange. who reigns in Maracosa, shall not be maligned. You have been warned, peasant.

Illuminostro,

Well, if you commies weren’t robbing future potential shareholders of their dividends, you mifht get some good old God Given trickle down scraps. But NO…

Illuminostro,

Apparently, Brand has been running from this shit for a long time, and jumped on the Fascist conspiracy grift train because no reputable movie or TV studio will hire him.

Illuminostro,

Crowder, Shapiro, Owens, Walsh, Dore, the token gay dude who was on Young Turks. All failed at mainstream entertainment careers. It ain’t a coincidence these people are on billionaire payrolls. They were always narcissists.

Illuminostro,

I know right? Just like they railroaded Masterson. He’s 100% innocent. He told me so.

Illuminostro,

I apologize if I gave you the impression I give a fuck about Brand, or your opinion on the matter. We’re done here.

Illuminostro,

Why do you care?
