You want low-budget Canadian wholesomeness. You want the best claymation sequences in horror movies. You want to vote for The Gate.

We have 5 choices, selected by different members of the crew:

Shaun of the Dead (Kat): The zombie comedy that kicked off a long and fruitful series of films from this team of creatives, with Edgar Wright in the director's chair. Horror doesn't have to just be scary, right? It can also be funny, and Shaun of the Dead certainly has a zombie horde's worth of laughs.

Jennifer's Body (Eric): Horror can contain multitudes, from prestige to shock and shlock; but sometimes that "shlock" gets reappraised and finds new meaning as time goes on. Jennifer's Body is one of the better examples of this, as Megan Fox's man-eater has become an icon in this freshly lauded cult-classic.

The Gate (Nadia): We all love a fun, cheesy romp. And The Gate is just that, straight out of Canada and bringing all the kind of popcorn thrills you'd ever want. It makes me want to sit down in a movie theater, flanked by my robot friends, and lob jokes at the monitor, which I cannot control.

The Ring (Alexi): The terror that quickly became a horror classic, and one you'll need to send to a friend right after viewing. When asked why she chose this one, Alexi said: "This movie changed my life, so to speak. When we came out of the theatre my older brother turned to me and said 'see what happens to morbid girls, Lexi?' and from then on I became like 50% less goth." Good answer!

St. John's Wort/Otogirisou (Victor): For our last film, we turn to St. John's Wort, a Japanese horror film based on a Chunsoft sound novel for the Super Famicom, Otogirisou. Somehow, Victor was the only one to pick a horror movie with an actual video game tie. But for those who want to see just how pixelated horror has influenced the silver screen, it's an interesting choice! Also ties into our recent episode all about the history of sound novels!

You'll have until Wednesday, October 15 at 5 p.m. Central Time to get your votes in.

Look, you might think frontend is fine and going well, but today I found a 1.1MB PNG (that could have been a 40K AVIF) in the critical path of an important app.

Embedded in an SVG as a `data:` URL.

Shipped as a React component.

2K has done their best to keep him in Director Jail to keep his dumb ass from fucking things up but it’s finally time for Director Parole and then hopefully Director Execution

Lot 49 is one of my favorite books on order with Catch 22. Every line is either an insane joke, weird history, or deranged physics stuff. often all 3 at once.

LinkedIn post about how a guy got a job interview at Strava by running a route that spelled HIRE ME on the map

HIRE ME written on the map (looking more like HIRE NE tbh)

commenter asks if the guy got the job and OP says “I don't think so. But his effort got him noticed and a foot in the door when so many others didn't”

The Bari Weiss-led CBS News has had this up for 3 days and misspelled his name in the hed.

@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze) @newsjennifer.bsky.social · 23h

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

Congo is a real treat. It’s so amazing.

Also of course the Delroy Lindo Tim Curry masterclass. Somehow this movie is considered bad despite having the best actors giving the best performances in the best movie ever made about fighting gorillas with lasers

it’s that kind of parenting day

A four panel comic called TEENAGERS
Panel one: a figure is speaking to a slightly larger figure: “SO WHAT YOU'RE
TELLING ME IS THAT THERE ARE RULES TO LIVING IN A SOCIETY”
Panel two, same art: “AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO BREAK THOSE RULES AND ENDED UP BROKE, ALONE AND MISERABLE”
Panel three, same art, no dialogue, the small figure is scratching their chin
Panel four, same art, the small figure is now pointing at the larger figure: “IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT FOR ME, THOUGH.”

Was recommended Brandish last night as another game in the lineage of shit I play & it’s great that you can in fact trace where FromSoft gets its humor to shit like labeling an item “Health Poison”

Sign in the 3rd area of Brandish that says “Haste will cause your downfall”

Further into the area a chest full of “H. Poison” which looks exactly like the “H. Potion” down to the sprite and the only difference in your inventory is when you examine it it says it will immediately drain all your health
