Gonna celebrate the fact that during the Steam Summer Sale I got both MOSTROSCOPY and THE BLACK HEART, two awesome horror-themed fighting games, for well under $20

2D horror fighter. It's 45% off for a few more hours. Awesomely gory, awesomely indie. Hits all my joy buttons.

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.

You're not wrong. At their best, the Art the Clown films (including ALL HALLOWS EVE) are very creepy. And misogynistic splatter at their worst. Won't lie though: Art the Clown is a brilliant character design. A silent B/W clown who makes no noise (even in pain) is low-budget artistry at its finest.

So it looks like my Facebook account is unrecoverable. Impossible to navigate the Meta Help Center, and the guy I spoke to at the 800 number said reinstatement would cost me $300 (LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO) so AI-riddled Google is no help. "Three hundred dollars"...!

The scene where Sienna realizes she left her purse downstairs is honestly one of the best scares from a film I've had a while.

I love Servo melting down as Barbara Streisand. You just KNOW Best Brains wanted to tackle her A STAR IS BORN remake. Honestly, I could rally behind a catfish monster - walks on land, voracious predator - but it would have to be properly executed. Blood Waters of Dr. Z was not properly executed.

When schools started teaching students with Telltale's The Walking Dead games, I argued (and still believe) that Final Fantasy Tactics also should be taught because 1) its story about theists revising history is dynamite and 2) the Calculator job forced me to memorize the prime numbers between 1-100

My comment has 4 likes to your 0: the actual measure of success in debate, not your buzzword scattershot. To clear your confusion: it is ALWAYS hilarious when a Sephiroth (you) crumbles in an argument. Any sadness is from you. You owe me $45 for your online humiliation kink. I'll DM you my Venmo.

I almost put Deja Vu in *my* Top 4 Despised, but went with more known movies. For all the reasons you cited, along with how it cheapens any message the original film had. In my mind, Deja Vu makes the same mistake all the crappy remakes did: it commercializes sexual assault. Shame on you, Meir.

Art colleges are closing. Opportunities for growth the artistic middle class had 10 years ago are gone. Start paying attention to how the population is getting pushed into ignorance. Smart people without access to facts are more compliant. Authority that controls the flow of information is absolute.

BLOODSUCKING FREAKS Misogynism disguised as comedy: schmaltzy piano music does not make torturing crying women funny, Troma. It's ableist too, Ralphus. My brain always purges this film from it, so whenever I defend films like SAW from the epithet of "torture porn", I'm never really sure why I do so

We regretted renting LEGION (2010), a right-wing horror movie ("don't get an abortion; your baby might be Jesus reborn!") except for these ten hilarious seconds Gabriel will then deflect machine-gun fire by closing his wings (COOL!) and spin-charging like Sonic the Hedgehog (the OPPOSITE of cool!)
