James Wan went back to horror and went absolutely crazy.
What is this movie?
A woman with a lot of repressed childhood memories has visions of grizzly murders and discovers that those murders are actually taking place. I won’t go into it any further because this is a super God damn weird movie and I shouldn’t spoil anything.
How scary is it?
It’s not as scary as some of James Wan’s other movies, the first two Insidious and Conjuring movies in particular. It does start off somewhat like those movies, and there are some really scary sequences in the beginning. It evolves into something a bit more slasher-y and joyously bonkers partway through that still has creepy imagery and fun but isn’t super scary. Probably 6/10 for scares.
Jump scares?
A bit yeah.
Is there blood and gore?
Better believe it
On a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being Alien: Covenant), how dumb were the characters?
Maybe a 6/10. You should see how one of these idiots parks a car on a cliff just for the shot.
Does that story make logical sense if you think about it too long?
I mean, it ties pretty well together but there are aspects that make you go, “oh huh, that’s stupid but fun.”
This is a big and bold horror movie that I wasn’t expecting. I didn’t know too much going in and thought it would be a bit like the Conjuring and Insidious and was I ever wrong. James Wan dives into his entire bag of tricks and pulls out things I have never seen before. I actually said, “What the fuck?” aloud during one of the twists. This movie will keep you on your toes. It’s almost fucking funny at times. This is a very campy movie and you can tell everyone had a blast making it.
Not all of it comes together super well. This is probably a matter of preference but I do like the classical strings that play during some of the scary parts, and I really didn’t like the electric guitar that played during others. I realize this must be an homage to an era of horror movies, but still, it was jarring for me.
Anyways, there is a strong chance you’ll either love this movie or just hate it. If you’re here, you’ll probably end up closer to the former camp. I’ll give this a7/10
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is an expanded re-imagining of 2013’s The Stanley Parable. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will make a choice, and you will become powerless. You are not here to win. The Stanley Parable is a game that plays you.
The artist Paweł Ponichtera seems to have inexplicably dedicated a massive amount of time and effort to hyper-detailed and hyper-accurate illustrations of chinchillas engaged in historical fencing, many with clear and specific reference to particular historical treatises. So, I give you:
Hans Talhoffer Chinchillas
Harnisfechten Chinchillas
Joachim Meyer Longsword Chinchillas
Fantastical Snail Marginalia Chinchillas
Olympic Epee Chinchillas
Salvator Fabris Rapier-in-the-Nude Chinchillas
Napoleonic Saber Chinchillas
Arabic Shamshir Chinchillas
18th Century Smallsword Chinchillas
I.33 Sword and Buckler Chinchillas
These are great, and many thanks to @slightlydisoriented,@vr-trakowski and @ainawgsd for bringing them to my attention! (My rep for appreciating swordy stuff and cute stuff in equal measure has evidently spread…) :-D
They’re not just impressive drawings because Paweł Ponichtera is an enviably good artist…
…they’re accurate drawings because - as mentioned on his Facebook page - Paweł Ponichtera is a HEMA practitioner and contestant as well.
Look at the Halbschwert (blade-gripping) and Mordschlag (reversed sword) in the Talhoffer pic, the supinated (knuckles-down) hand position in the I.33 pic, and similar details in all the others.
Here’s the finished version of that WIP sketch: Hans Lecküchner Messer Chinchillas.
At first I thought, “Why chinchillas?”
Then I thought, “Why NOT chinchillas?”
They’re cute, they’re fluffy, and despite (or maybe because of) their Postures of Period Pugnacity, the picture series works really well… :->
Can’t for get to include the Fiore chinchillas that started it all.
