This page gets cited as the point where John Byrne decided to stop working with Chris Claremont — apocryphally, Byrne thought Claremont's dialogue undermined Colossus' strength. I find this to be a fascinating instance of one guy approaching fiction with calipers while another shows up with tequila

Colossus, full metal skin and everything, hauls a stump out of the ground with a chain, saying "by Lenin, either my heart with burst and my steel body crack--"

I’m reading the subtitles along with watching this time, and it really points out how lyrical this show’ dialogue is.

Absolutely fair! Featnot sounds great! I'll let you know when it's cued up.

I don't think I personally want to watch it or recommend it to people... But, yeah!! Good fucking movie.

Stuck the fucking landing! Huh. Wouldn't have guessed it! Well, if you've got 90 minutes: "Wristcutters" would be an excellent, weird inversion of this! Or we could do a Storyteller! I think I could use *some* kind of chaser, even if it's just by myself...

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 8h

I am… weirdly satisfied with this ending, though??

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 8h

I will add it to my GDoc, then! 😄

Wristcutters is also streaming on Prime!

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 8h

Utterly fair!! Wristcutters has my *highest* recommendation, on the other hand!!

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 8h

Oh, Wristcutters is legit one of my all-time favorite movies!! “Guy kills himself, finds himself in an afterlife but that’s the same only a bit worse, goes on a road trip with the singer of Golgol Bordello (and more)!” 🥰 I don’t know that The Baby of Macon is my speed, though! 😂

Ghastly-ass movie. Only way I can describe it.

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

Know what we should watch sometime? Wristcutters: A Love Story!

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

Right as a scary thing happened, Prime flashed the film’s warnings and rating at me.

010

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

We totally are! Despite that this is grimmer than Grimm.

000

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

Oh, the… the storytelling sequence. Yeah. I may need some Storyteller to watch the taste of this out of my mouth. (This is where I stopped, the one time I tried to watch this.)

“Child Engagement: The Portal Fantasy!” …Actually, that’s... the whole premise of the film… 😳

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

“This has taken a turn” — I think it turns again later! This is less a “horror” movie as it is a “disturbment” movie.

My friend Karen (a PICU EMT at the time, now a Respiratory Therapist) suggested ECMO as a medical procedure for us to use in Witch Doctor…

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

Ahahaha! Yeah, I had flashbacks. 😊

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

ECMO. We’re at the ECMO part of the Portal Fantasy movie.

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

They sure did! (I was just talking about that!)

The rhino is great! Honestly, the fact that the kid actor is clearly having so much fun lessens the sting of how fucked up and unpleasant her parents are. Though the fact that he is Such A Freelancer hurts a bit.

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

Honestly, our discussed options for tonight were this of "Alice" (1988), which is almost all taxidermy puppets. And this is STILL less creepy, I think!!

"About 100,000 ft of expired 35mm film stock was used to shoot the film, intentionally using the heavier grain, loss of light sensitivity, color shifts, and light leaks to add to the surreal nature of the industrial dream environment Emma navigates in the film.[12][13]"

"The film was shot on a combination of an Arricam LT, Arriflex 35 BL4S, Arriflex 35 IIC, Arriflex 35-IIIBell, and the Howell Eyemo, using rehoused vintage lenses. To accomplish a lot of the film’s practical effects, miniature models and cloud tanks were used.[11]"

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

Likewise, yeah. The fact that it's DARK + Pretty! makes it my shit.

010

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

Yeah, seriously. Also, the parent-actors are both unpalatable. That's impressive — and useful, here!

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

SO MUCH PERIL. FUCK. I'd forgotten!! Yeah, *absolutely* fair!! Glad you're loving it, though. :)

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

Yeah, that water doesn't look revolting at all...

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 9h

I forgot how intensely freaky this film is. I just remember: Pretty!

200

Brandonomicon (Brandon Seifert) @brandonseifert.info · 10h

Be properly wared: This is a pretty-ass and also a CREEPY-ass movie! Involving: Child peril!! 😬 Filmed on expired film! (Look it up before you join us, I mean.)

I don't have any other muscle memory issues that I know off, so it may be its own thing!

—Anyone know a name for this? Is it a known learning disability or something? In high school I used to do it while speaking, which I just remembered. The Monty Python sketch (which I just remembered) makes me wonder if it's a "thing." I also suspect I have dyscalculia, which runs in my family.

LOOKING FOR INFO: Sometimes at the end of the sentence I come out with the wrong fusebox. ...That's a Monty Python reference, but it's directly related to my problem! Sometimes when I'm typing, I type a similar but word word. (..Fuck, that should be "wrong word." I just did it!) Does—

Laika & I wish you all a beautiful Wednesday evening.

A ruddy Abyssinian cat and a middle-aged white man with glasses stare intently into the camera.

This bullshit is extremely common. I walked away from a project doing sound design for AT&T in the 1990s rather than sign a clause like this. In 2023 I refused to sign this type of language for Harbor Picture Company. They said "But everyone signs this!" I refused, had to work as a subcontractor.

As a special treat to myself I got Obsidian set up today to help me diagram out my notes for Seacritters Book 2, but now I am also running the risk of making it my new database for character reference and plot tracking moving forward and it's got plugins and oh no oh NO this tunnel goes on forever
