At one point Rubio had centrist appeal. Fucking astounding where he is now.

So it turns out that the rules in Utah are if they're seeking the death penalty your court appointed attorney needs to have a certain level of skill, ergo the woman assigned to defend the shooter is actually pretty elite and I'd guess, like Luigi's lawyer, is tracking these idiots popping off on TV.

It takes literally 75 minutes for him to become The Crow.

A NIN soundtrack might have made The Crow better but it seems the director cheated on Atticus Ross' sister back in 2012, which I think is an excellent metaphor for The Crow.

At one point they play Joy Division for about 15 seconds.

"What if The Crow but with Netflix caliber production design?" - Some people working on this remake in 2022, apparently

An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower

a red squirrel knight, with body armor and a cape, holding a lance in one hand and standing on its hind legs, with a golden halo aroung its upper torso and head.

the beast (from beauty and the beast), appearing in the middle of a dense rose-bush foliage, gently holding a tiny bird in its huge paws and looking at it with tenderness. the castle tower can be seen in the distance.

toe-thrasher, a rat lord wearing a royal mantle made of white fur, thrashing in the middle of a swamp in its hind legs and holding a black flail. in the swamp, there are numerous yellow eyes

I genuinely would love to see a remake of Event Horizon with some light script revisions.

Team, the new The Crow is so bad. It's so bad.

Ok so the Eavesdropping With Tea Rat is mostly there, and I am as eager as anyone to see him inked.

Reign-themed rat triptych linocut drags onward. And yes I am considering additional panels.

This is 100% my theory. Epstein was the plant in the manufactured bidding war, got Trump to overpay, and got a cut and Trump figured it out afterwards, was infuriated and embarrassed, and cut him off.

Still convinced Epstein duped him into overpaying for the Florida mansion.

Good thing "Mandani" isn't the name of anyone running, then.

Sometimes I remember that dude on whatever horror subreddit who jumped in to mansplain some ultra basic plot point of Dracula to me while apparently unaware that my handle was a slightly less than obvious Dracula reference.

there is a kind of person who does not think any non-violent protest is legitimate and more often than not, they are the kind of person who will not show up to any protest, violent *or* non-violent

"This isn't that bizarre haunted knight vanity project from that weird guy that Norman Reedus, Udo Kier, and David Carradine were inexplicably involved with so it won't be the most painful movie I've ever sat through," I say as I roll the dice yet again.

"Well this isn't Evil Bong so it can't be the worst film I'll ever watch," I keep assuring myself, naively.

There are a lot of people especially in recent years who cling to the idea of "make sure your own oxygen mask is secured" while conveniently forgetting the back half of that instruction is "before helping others." It's not sustainable to take shots while also refusing to contribute to the community.

Correct. And if you want even more definitive proof, Herzog waited until the the final second on the copyright clock ran out to do his 1979 Nosferatu remake in which Orlok's named Dracula.

Becoming grievously offended is also pretty functionally useless in the real world unless you have an action plan.
