There's been a lot of 'Burnout' comparisons, but having never played it, my closest analogy is 'Wipeout'. Not as frenetic, and it's missing The Chemical Brothers, but there's a lot more oh-so-familiar scenery to enjoy as you activate your shields and hit the burners.

'Star Wars: Galactic Racer' has capably filled the Wipeout-shaped hole in my life. From the early *DINK-DINK* of bouncing off of absolutely everything before exploding, to the smooth ride when you finally figure out the controls and become as one with your vehicle. Kudos to all involved.

No time to make a Hallowmeme, today, so here's one from last year.
The 3 panel  "Moe Kicking Barney Out" meme, but Moe is now Dr. Loomis from the "Halloween" movies and Barney is now Michael Myers. The top panel shows Loomis hoiking Michael out of the front door of the bar. The middle panel has a narrow-eyed Loomis dusting his hands off as he stands in the bar doorway. In the bottom panel, Loomis is still standing in the doorway with his hands on his hips. Behind him, standing at the bar, is the inevitable figure of Michael Myers.

Arthur speaking some of the Black Knight's lines for him is very kind, but my favourite bit is when the Knight hops on the bridge and his legs decide to fly away, before returning for the encore in the final panel. Just like the movie.

The "You, boy!" image of Alistair Sim's Scrooge leaning out of a window. His head has been replaced with the Snickers shrinkflation "SCROOGY" bar in the above post. The wording underneath reads "YOU, BOY! HOW MUCH SMALLER WOULD YOU SAY MY HEAD IS, THESE DAYS?".

I still think the soundtrack is as much a part of the movie as the actors and sets. Watched the 2024 version a few nights back and the soundtrack is more of a weak spectator than an integral inclusion.

Previously:
The Willem Dafoe "You know, I'm something of a scientist myself" meme, but the image is now in black and white. Willem is still Willem, but he's no longer Norman Osborn from the 'Spider-Man' movies - he's now Thomas Wake, from 'The Lighthouse', complete with his lighthouse keeper's hat and big bushy beard. In the background we can see Ephraim Winslow/Thomas Howard (Robert Pattinson) arguing with a one-eyed gull. Walking up the stairs, and to the left of Mr. Dafoe, is the mermaid from the movie (Valeriia Karaman). The wording now reads: "Ye know, I be something of a lighthouse keeper meself."The 4 panel Drake meme, but Drake's face has been swapped for Michael Emerson (Jason Patric) from "The Lost Boys" (1987). In the top left panel, he's smiling as he points at the yummy noodles in the top right panel. However, in the bottom left panel he's looking away in disgust at the worms in the bottom right panel. All part of an orchestrated vampire mindfuck.The 3 panel "Keanu Reeves Tapping Phone" meme. The 1st panel shows a gagged Keanu, who's been buried up to his neck, staring at the phone that's been placed in front of him. The 2nd panel has a close-up of the phone screen, showing Samara/Sadako (Ring/Ringu) walking towards us with her comfy haunted well visible behind her. The 3rd panel has a tiny Samara/Sadako emerging from the phone screen and crawling towards a now screaming, still buried, Mr. Reeves. Don't look at her tiny make-you-dead face, Keanu!The Ancient Aliens meme featuring the host of the History Channel show of the same name, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, informing us with open hands and a big smile that aliens are responsible. For everything, ever. We can't actually see his smile in this picture because he has a facehugger attached to his face.

Today's Hallowmeme.
The Distracted Boyfriend meme, but the boyfriend is now Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) from "The Crow" (1994). His girlfriend's head is the BBC weather symbol for rain and the object of his attention is a woman whose head has been swapped for the weather symbol for sunshine.

The story of The Pied Piper remains in the top tier of Europe's most sinister legends, and while this particular version opts for a much lighter approach, the vibrant Technicolor never fully masks the dark.

From the vault:
The WikiHow 'Defending Against A Knife Attack' meme, but the gentleman with the knife now look a lot like Peter Cushing's Van Helsing. Instead of a knife, he's got a wooden crucifix in his hand. The person trying to ward him off is clearly a vampire, but he doesn't look anything like Christopher Lee because I couldn't be arsed to draw him.The 4 panel Drake meme. The top left panel shows Drake smiling as he points at a decidedly relaxed Nola Carveth (Samantha Eggar) from "The Brood" (1979) in the top right panel. The bottom left panel has Drake screaming as he's attacked by one of Nola's fucked up mutie kids. Her pissed off look in the bottom right panel explains why Drake's currently taking a beating. Good.The "Buff Doge and Cheems" meme, but Buff Doge's head has been swapped for the famous fucked up turnip Jack O'Lantern. The wording underneath him reads "I WAS CARVED FROM THE UNFORGIVING PURPLE STEEL MEN CALL TURNIPS!" Cheems, to his right, now has a pumpkin with his own face carved on it where his head should be. The wording underneath him reads "i'm a large fruity canvas".The scene from Tobe Hooper's 1979 adaptation of Salem's Lot, showing Ralphie Glick - now a vampire - scratching at the bedroom window of his brother, Danny, and asking to be let in. Danny, now mesmerised, is about to open the windows. Ralphie has been replaced by the wild-haired 'Sickos' meme. His shirt now says "SUCKER" and the speech bubble next to him reads "YES... HA HA HA... YES!".

James Bond (1962) and Monty Python (1969) made their respective big/small screen debuts on this day in history.
The album cover for "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", but instead of The Beatles and their idols, it's all the official Bonds and every major villain plus some key henchmen/henchwomen. If I've missed anyone you think should be included, feel free to make your own compilation.The "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album cover, except there are no Beatles, just a wide selection of the various characters, incarnations, props and animations from the Monty Python team's output, covering the period 1969-1983.

There were two illustrated books I read at nursery whose images never left me, but which I've sadly been unable to recall the titles of. The 1st was a bunch of cats who lived in a junkyard & built a spaceship, and the 2nd was the tale of a young girl & a rabbit walking through the woods. Beautiful.

Previously:
The 'Screaming Woman & Cat' meme, but the screaming woman is now a screaming Viago (Taika Waititi) from "What We Do in the Shadows" (2014). The woman beside her is now Deacon (Johnny Brugh). The smiling cat is still a smiling cat, but it's a black cat wearing the face of Vladislav (Jemaine Clement). This is because Vlad used to be able to turn into all sorts of animals, but he can no longer manage to get their faces right.The Shining movie poster, but Jack's face peering through the door has been swapped for that of the evil Patrick Star meme. Wendy now has the derpy meme face of Spongebob Squarepants.The ending of the Wicker Man, where Lord Summerisle, arms aloft, stands in front of the soon-to-be-burning Wicker Man. Lord Summerisle's face is now the Smirking Leo meme, looking all smug and shit. Sgt. Howie, pleading for mercy inside the Wicker Man, has been replaced by the Pointing Leo meme, who's still smoking and drinking a beer.The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme, but the boyfriend's face is all kinds of fucked up because he's just looked at Sadako/Samara from Ring/The Ring as she passes by. The screen is the same sickly green colour as the cursed videotape from both films.

From the vault:
A black and white version of the 4 panel Drake meme, but Drake is now Julian Karswell (as Bobo the Clown) from "Night of the Demon" (1957). In the top left panel, Jules is pointing excitedly at John Holden's folder in the top right panel, into which he's slipped the runic symbols that trigger the curse. In the bottom left, he's looking away in fear at the image of his own longcoat in the bottom right panel, into which John's kindly returned the cursed runic symbols. I would tell him to run, but he's already fucked. The "Two Guys On A Bus" meme, but everything is now tinted blue and there are 6 guys on the bus. 5 of them are smiling at the guy in the front, who's gripping the top of the seat in front of him and looks absolutely terrified. An homage to the scene from "In the Mouth of Madness" (1994) where John Trent, who's riding a bus, falls asleep and dreams that Sutter Cane, the author of spooky tales, tells him that his favourite colour is blue. John then wakes to find he's still on the bus and everything, and everyone, himself included, is blue. Of course he screams. Who wouldn't? That's some weapons-grade trippy shit. The Fuck Around And Find Out graph meme, but the guy who is looking straight at us, while he points his green marker at the whiteboard behind him, (which shows how the levels of fucking around are equal to the levels of finding out), is now Jason Voorhees (ch-ch-ch, ah-ah-ah).The "Kids Scared of Rabbit" meme, but the rabbit has gone and the bucket is now the well from 'Ring'/'Ringu'. Samara/Sadako can be seen starting to emerge from the well, her lank dark hair spilling out over the top as her pale hands clutch the sides. The scene is bathed in that sickly bluey-green tint from both movies. Don't look, kids!
