Holy Cannoli. If you haven’t seen the 1979 Cronenberg film The Brood, go to watch that asap. Or, don’t, if you want to stay sane. I don’t even know where to start? I’ve seen some batshit movies in my life but that was batshit. 🤣🤣🤣 10/10

TDLR : it's as WTF as advertised

I don't think this is a typical horror movie and i kinda of understand why it's in the Criterion Collection.

Story : During WW2 , 4 nazis with a supporting crew hold 9 males and 9 females in a manor in Salo for a display of domination.

I'll start by saying that the movie is super slow-paced and that in the first 2 acts , nothing much happens except nudity ( both sexes ) , homosexuality ( both sexes ) , listening to poems about scat , guy receiving a golden shower in his mouth.

Then you get to 3rd act , 120 days are over and 'slaves' get their punishment. that's the hard part but if you watched Human Centipede or Cannibal Holocaust , nothing major.

All and all , there is some artistic merit to this movie but i don't think i'll watch again.

All right let’s hear it.

Which villains/monsters would have been THE BEST had their movies not been bad.

For my money, Art the clown is the best monster we’ve had this decade in an abysmal series that tries to make up for its meh plot with over the top gore.

Exchanges/Challenges

I won't sign up for more exchanges, she said, before being tempted by exchanges. Although this is more a broad smorgasbord of things I'm currently being tempted by.

I'm probably not signing up for Sex Pollen Exchange despite being very tempted. I love the trope, but I suspect signing up to write it for other people would be a great way for my brain to decide it had never seen a sex pollen in its life. (Signups close Aug. 31.)

I'm definitely not doing [community profile] ficinabox this year (signups 'til Aug. 31) because I'm definitely not up for 10K right now, but I wish the best to all who are throwing themselves on that pyre!

One thing I actually am seriously thinking about signing up for is Out of Order Exchange, a semi-flash exchange for non-linear fic. Currently taking nominations, and the signup window is tiny (Aug. 29-Sept. 1), then there's a 2-week writing period. I just think it sounds like a fun challenge (300 word minimum, 1 fandom minimum for requests/offers).

I also did sign up for [community profile] fandomgiftbasket, which is taking signups until Sept. 5. This one has no requirement to create anything; you can simply leave prompts (3 fandom minimum) and receive gifts. They do have a tendency towards delays if they have trouble filling all the baskets.

And this year's Whumptober prompts are out! (There is also a Whumptember challenge, because of course there is.) This is like the WORST year to try to write all the Whumptober days, because I have a lot going on that month, but I am so tempted to at least give it a try.

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Love Medley (Fairbanks)

cahn: (Default)
[personal profile] cahn
I have been sitting on this for months but I can finally tell you that the book I have been doing a ton of beta-reading for is out! Love Medley, by Lyssa Fairbanks, is a romance novel. One of the two protagonists is Lucy, a third-gen Chinese-American fourth-year medical student. She's quite bright and often goes full speed ahead at a moment's notice, which can be both a good and a bad thing; as the book opens, she is just finding her way out of an abusive relationship. The other protagonist is Jake, a Midwestern ER nurse who moonlights as a dueling pianist. Jake is a musical people-person; as the book opens, he is finding his way free of his emotionally controlling family. Lucy enlists Jake's help as a fake boyfriend to get her toxic ex to leave her alone, but will this lead to more? (...I mean, it's a romance novel, that was a rhetorical question.)

It's part of a projected 4-book series involving a close friend-group of four, of whom Lucy is one, who are making their way through medical school. (And the second book will be F/F, I've read the rough draft and am excited about that one too!) Jake, not to be outdone, has his own friends as well! As usual, I adore the ensemble scenes more than the actual romance. ;) (A me thing, of course! The romance is also very nice!)

The book includes a content notes page that cites explicit sex scenes, emotional abuse (on-page), physical abuse (off-page), explicit language, emotionally abusive parents. It is also very clearly a romance book, and I know this is not everyone's favorite cup of tea, but if you like romances then I think it's a great contender in the genre!

I would like to give the kindle e-book to the first five people who tell me they'd like one (I'll update this post if/when that number is reached) -- please DM me with your email address :) I'm sure the author would very much appreciate it if you left an honest review on amazon, but don't feel compelled to -- this isn't an "exchange" for a review, this is just me doing this for fun :)

If you would like to support the author, the book is available on amazon here or signed copies are available from Left Bank Books here. It's also available on Kindle Unlimited.

(BTW, Lyssa Fairbanks is a pen name. If you know the author (which a couple of you do, or may be able to to figure out that you do), please do not talk publicly about their real name or how I know them, thank you!)

When I'm 64

[personal profile] heron61
Yesterday I turned 64 (one of my good friends pointed out, it’s the first age celebrated in song for decades – there’s an abundance of songs about turning 16 (including no shortage of deeply creepy songs about girls turning 16), lots about turning 21, a couple about turning 25, a few about turning 30, and that’s it, until the Beatles “When I’m Sixty Four”.

In any case, it was a nice birthday, a quiet day at home, followed by my first time going to a Middle Eastern restaurant that’s literally 2 blocks away, and was utterly delicious – I had never had dolmas that there quite that excellent, and the rest was equally good. Today included a trip to a lovely GF bakery for donuts and cupcakes.

1. I'm definitely starting to feel a lot more comfortable with this new project at work, though it's still a lot of unknown territory. It's been good having this team here from Japan for this month to help hammer things out, but I will also be glad when they're gone and there are less meetings (I've literally have two hour meetings every day with this one guy for the past two weeks; they are productive, but still).

2. It was much nicer weather today. Even when I came out to the car after being at work, I didn't have to blast the AC to get it bearable for the drive home.

3. Yesterday's episode of Game Changer was so good. This season has really been hitting it out of the park, but man. That was amazing. I can't wait to watch the behind the scenes episode next week. The episode also involved mentioning a lot of previous episodes, which made us want to do a rewatch, so I think we'll be doing that soon.

4. I love Chloe's little foot freckle.

So last time, we had a sudden tonal shift in which Elbereth suddenly stopped being a raging asshat.

I'm not unhappy about this, per se, but I would have liked to see more of an acknowledgment that he WAS being a raging asshat before this. Cadderly's own reaction seems to be downplayed/discounted a bit too much for me. Honestly, I'd settle for even a Rufo POV where he's like "wow, this guy's a fucking dick."

And the fact that Danica is so okay with it is something I am NOT okay with... )

Why This Must Be Read: This fic explores a possible take on Ronon's past in which he was a troubled teen on Sateda, looking at why he joined the militia. It's an unusual view of Ronon's character and a plausible backstory idea. I love worldbuilding fics that explore Satedan culture and this is concise and hard-hitting - really good.

Just joined the fandom and community, and wanted to share what i spent today working on! I plan on messing around with the hands more and inking it properly still, but I like how it's coming along!

Some interesting items of note?

1. Hmmm, I've lived in NYC for over 25 years, and I didn't know this Book Store existed. It's on the upper east side near the MET.

"Tucked away inside the French Embassy’s Payne Whitney mansion on NYC’s Upper East Side, Albertine Books is one of New York City’s best-kept secrets—and now, it’s getting global recognition as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world by book-loving travel guide 1000 Libraries.

Walk through its grand doors and you’ll find yourself beneath a breathtaking zodiac-painted ceiling, surrounded by elegant dark wood, celestial murals, and more than 14,000 French and English titles. It’s the only bookstore in New York City dedicated entirely to French-language works and translations, making it a true cultural gem for literature lovers."

I foresee a trip to the Met, the bookstore, and a gluten free bakery with croissants in my future. All on the upper east side. Along with a foray into Central Park. It's been a long time since I've gone. I tend to spend most of my time in Brooklyn.

Note to non-New Yorkers? The City = Manhattan. Brooklyn is Brooklyn, Bronx is the Bronx, Queens is Queens, and Staten Island is Staten Island. Long Island is Long Island. Upstate - is basically everywhere NORTH of the City and the Bronx. But Manhattan to New Yorkers is referred to as simply - "the City", and everyone knows what you are talking about.

Gotta love a French Book store - I can actually read rudimentary French.

2. Saw a letter from Betrand Russell to Sir Oswald about fascism on Face Book, posted by Rahael. (It reminded me of why I liked Betrand Russel - who I read a lot of in the 1980s.)

Betrand Russell's artful letter refusing to debate British Fascist Leader Oswald Mosely

(A character based on Mosely was also featured (deservingly so) as a villain in the last season of Peaky Blinders.)

3. Apparently they are starting a Robot Taxi program in NYC this fall.
The Taxi and Limousin Commission is understandably upset about it.

" New Yorkers are about to meet a new kind of traffic jam companion: the robotaxi. Beginning in September, Waymo, the Alphabet-owned autonomous vehicle company, will put its self-driving cars on the streets of Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn.

Before you panic about an empty driver’s seat whizzing down Flatbush, rest assured: State law requires a trained specialist behind the wheel at all times. So yes, there will still be a human gripping the steering wheel while the car quietly does most of the thinking."

As someone who cannot drive - I find the news of self-driving vehicles kind of reassuring? On the other hand - I can already imagine the confusion of more than one person telling the car where they want to go. Not sure how that will work? Just that I'm very glad I rarely, if ever, take any sort of motorized vehicle in the city. I just do subways and walking, thank you very much.

4. Details on Depart Q S2 on Netflix.

It seems a filmmaker called Michael Anthony Kratochvil is releasing documentary about Lake Mungo with cast and crew interviews! since its one of my all time favourite movies I am super excited. Im always eager to find more about how the movie was made. I hope Joel Anderson is also involved and we can finally learn more about him and what he has been up to

A family's faith and resilience are tested when their daughter is kidnapped, leading to a harrowing journey of discovery and justice.

It's giving VERY unsettling vibes and looks to be as disturbing as RED ROOMS (2023) if you haven't seen that film WATCH IT, it was one of the best films i saw last year. very Fincher like, this movie seems to be the same but gritty

Looking for horror that has the same vibe as Alien (1979), Godhusk, etc. Horror/scifi that’s slow, disturbing, brooding, that gritty aesthetic. Open to movies, books, video games, music, really any kind of media. I just wanna vibe out.
