I watched this yesterday and it was pretty good - disappointed that he didn't travel to the different dimensionscanon.docre wrote:I enjoyed this Masters of Horror episode, Dreams in the Witch-House:

I liked the format of ~50 minute "movies," it really helps protect against movies that would have dragged at the 90 minute mark.

I'm still a Lovecraft noon but if you discover a movie called Cthulu Mansion, avoid it unless you want to see a comedy.

That is potentially great news as that is definitely one of HPL's weirder stories and Richard Stanley is off-the-fucking-rails crazy. You see the doc about his his disastrous attempt at making the Island of Dr. Moreau in the 90's? Shit is awesome.

The one with Val Kilmer is the same one that Richard Stanley attempted to make. He ended up basically getting ousted from the production after several weeks and replaced by John Frankenheimer, who didn't fare much better. After they kicked him out, he ended up sneaking back onto set as one of the hybrids and kind of meddling with the production while also living in the woods and shit. Crazy stuff. The stuff in the documentary about Kilmer and Brando's behavior is also fucking insane. Can't recommend it enough.Necrometer wrote:thanks for the reminder on that documentary - I'd heard of it but blanked. I think that inspired me to look up the one with val kilmer, which always seemed so cool but I've always been terrified to watch since it's supposedly atrocious.
I have had Eldritch Horror since last Christmas and haven't played it onceGeeheeb wrote:you have better things to do with your time. i wish i had time to play eldritch horror. instead i play elder signs on tablet



I still play Elder Sign all the time on my phone and it consistently pisses me off more than anything I have ever experienced in my entire fucking life

That is a solid tactic that has proven effective on multiple occasions; you obviously know what's up
You play any of the expansions? I'm partial to the Dark Pharaoh one but they are all good. They will, however, make you want to throw your phone into the fucking street

I have them all, can't beat Ithaqua, but beat Cthulhu on my first try which primed me for supreme disappointment when the others hammered me hard.
I also have the physical game which is easier and recommended.

“So where does that leave the World Fantasy Award? Well, in my case, I have always done something very specific and simple. I consider the award inextricable from but not reducible to Lovecraft himself. Therefore, I was very honoured to receive the award as representative of a particular field of literature. And the award itself, the statuette of the man himself? I put it out of sight, in my study, where only I can see it, and I have turned it to face the wall. So I am punishing the little fucker like the malevolent clown he was, I can look at it and remember the honour, and above all I am writing behind Lovecraft’s back. ”

Fact #7
From an empirical viewpoint, the problem with Free Will (and causality) is reconciling determinism and freedom to make sense of morality.
