    Stephen King novels are often dumber than you remember

    Except the one with the ass weasels that one is as dumb as you remember

    which one is that

    Dreamcatcher. Also contains “I Dudditz” the catch phrase of a mentally challenged man who is actually an alien

    The book is also a sequel to “The Tommyknockers”, which King does not remember writing in the 80s because he was on all the drugs.

    The man doesn't remember writing entire books, I think he's not vanilla

    Per Wiki as of 2019
    He has published 61 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman, and six non-fiction books.[3] He has written approximately 200 short stories, most of which have been published in book collections.[4][5]

    There's another short story collection (4 stories) that came out a few months ago and a 5th that was published in a magazine a month before that

    I'd forget some stuff too even without drugs at that pace

    Yeah, IMO, when it comes to forgetting stuff he's done, what he's into sexually matters much less than having been on all the drugs at the time.

    It was apparently widely known that ole Adolf showed 0 interest in the ladies. He was married to Eva but, and I could be remembering this wrong, I don't think they even shared the same quarters in their shitty little bunker except for maybe one occasion right after they got married or right before he shot himself.

    This was attributed to him channeling all his zeal and passion into Germany leaving none for the bonin' and definitely not to his horrendous halitosis or myriad meth related illnesses.

    Edit: or at the very least he seemed to be bore and a consummate prude.

    Let's move on to less awkward subjects, like how Matthew McConaughey's mom was so proud of her husband's dick that after he died during sex she insisted that he be carried out of the house naked so that all could look on it, and despair.

    I could easily see a headline star equate "I can't sit in my marked chair" with "no chairs".

    I think I've heard something about big stars being a bit self centered and out of touch.

    Maybe but this is what she said
    Chris also doesn’t allow chairs. I worked with him twice. He doesn’t allow chairs, and his reasoning is, if you have chairs, people will sit, and if they’re sitting, they’re not working

    That short makes some weird mistakes for Pixar - including:
    • White refusing to take undefended pieces from Black (which, okay, the whole thing is a Bit so maybe acceptable from the premise),
    • White's third move apparently being moving his bishop directly forward 2 rows (a later shot shows it correctly diagonally in front of the king, but that's clearly not the move made in the earlier animation which shows the bishop moved in front of the pawn rank),
    • When White has 2 pieces remaining and retreats the king to the back row the White queen is shown on the second row, but when queen x queen on the next turn the Black queen is shown on the third row,
    • And the box of pieces being missing entirely at the end (it was knocked off the table when White rotated the board, but it's nowhere to be seen anywhere in the wide shot).
    Clearly there are dark and malign supernatural forces at work here! Pennywise or vampires - who can say?

    Did she really marry him three times?

    Or were people confused because instead of saying “I do,” he said “Alright, alright, alright!”?

    Someone on twitter just said "oh man real life is so stressful right now I'm not getting any of the usual catharsis out of watching horror movies"
    is that
    is that why people like horror movies? Are they cathartic?


    (I find them incredibly stressful and even moderately well-executed horror will usually give me some level of anxiety for at least a few days, so I guess I just thought people liked feeling shitty? Like, I appreciate the craft, so I'll still watch them if other people want to, but I have to work myself up to it and I couldn't do more than one in a week).

    It's kind of like a roller coaster? It gets your heart beat up, and you feel tense, then when the movie is over, you can hopefully release that tension and feel relief. This works less well if you haven't felt significant relief since... March now. I have Hereditary on loan from my library, so maybe after this weekend I'll be able to report if my enjoyment of horror movies has changed at all.

    hmm. I guess I get the tension but not the release, generally. I just watched horrible things happen to people for up to two hours! I'm gonna need a long time to process that and return to baseline.

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/talking-about-trauma/202004/horror-films-may-reduce-anxiety-some-individuals

    "The article noted the brain’s limbic system has a primary role in responding to anxiety-arousing scenes in movies as if these negative emotional experiences were real. When watching a horror movie, the amygdala detects emotions of fear and prepares us for frightening events, while our conscious perception recognizes that these alarming events are not real. This implies that we can vicariously experience negative emotions in a controlled environment which may be useful for managing anxiety.

    Some researchers have supported this concept and have suggested that watching scary movies may act as a form of exposure for individuals with anxiety. Anxiety-related disorders affect approximately 18% of the population and some of the predominant symptoms include excessive worrying, apprehensive expectations, and restlessness. It is possible that while an individual is viewing a scary film, their anxiety-related symptoms are temporarily suspended."


    I've found this to be true for myself for quite a while now. Particularly in recent weeks - the only things I can sit through to watch right now are feel-good comedies or horror movies. They both help relieve my anxiety for a little bit, albeit in very different ways.

    Oh gosh, I've literally just discovered this not long ago too. Reply All's Alex Goldman and a guest briefly went in on it recently on his other horror movie podcast, Scaredy Cats Horror Show, and it's kinda fascinating. Some folks literally watch horror movies to fall asleep. There's some kind of escapism there that triggers a sense of safety or something.

    And, like, I kiiiinda get it? But it would absolutely not work for me in the slightest.

    Just watched Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood with my parents, and despite it being a bloated movie they managed to stay up til midnight and watch the whole thing. My mom who actively refuses to watch movies at any sight of violence or gore was actively cheering on Cliff Booth
    murdering the fuck out of the hippies

    So, new movie experiences with the parents.

    Good job Quintin, you weird, creepy bastard.

    I don’t watch horror movies because I stay terrified for a week because I cannot shut my brain up.

    Catharsis isn’t always relief, but just some kind emotional release. So the point of Greek tragedies was catharsis, but there’s not really a relief at the end in the sense of “good ending and now I’m at peace.” It’s catharsis more in the build of tension and sorrow that ends in a release of “damn, that sucks. Sucks to be that guy.” And of course, like everything else, on some level what triggers catharsis is somewhat subjective. But i do think that it’s easy to conflate emotional release and relief because the latter is always the former but the former isn’t always the latter. Sometimes it’s vicariously experiencing anxiety and fear, knowing that it sucks to be that guy and that guy isn’t you. Which also explains why right now it wouldn’t work so well, since it sucks to be all of us.

    It’s kind of like how some people get a catharsis from having a flat-out yelling fight, even if it ends in impasse.

    Weirdly, the idea of catharsis has come up several times today, so i guess that’s what i’m going to lay here and ponder instead of sleeping.

    I've fallen asleep while watching scary movies.

    Because I'm big and brave and I'm not afraid of ghouls and goblins.
