If you want to turn your brain off,

I doubt that's going to happen. For a lot of people, guns are a social signifier in the same way that F-150s are. They don't need that horsepower to drive to their office job anymore than they need their 5 guns to defend their home in a gated community from invaders. This is who forms the bulk of support for the NRA, and they will not leave their vanity objects they use to take family pictures go. Guns are toys to these people, and we are paying the price for their frivolous attitude to deadly tools. Don't get me started on cars. Houston had to be bulldozed to make cars necessary and it absolutely sucks.

Well s3 was awful, so that's not too much praise. I thought the first episode was long and am expecting the extended length to be a bit of a drag, it seems like they could have cut the episodes up much better and released the last one as a movie.

Buying guns here is very easy if you have the money, when I bought my .44 it was no questions asked at all. And if you don't have the money, there are installment plans to pay for the gun.

The Boy Behind the Door. A horror film about kids being abducted and sex trafficked. Pretty bare bones tbh, not bad but very similar to other serial killer movies. X (2022). A strip club owner in 1979 Houston takes two strippers (one of whom is his gf), a Vietnam vet, and two film students to shoot a porno out in the country. It feels like the writer never set foot in Houston and the actors do take the country to 11, but if you get over that it's an enjoyable enough take on a slasher.

It's part of a very long joke being played on the world.

****ing bull****.

The kids should be armed and armored. Tacticool gear for everyone.

Angela should have been punched in the face.

Maybe they hit the cameraman and that's where the shake came from?

I think it is a case of the technique being used incorrectly (and badly) instead of an issue with the technique itself. The scene feels very artificial to begin with, the cgi dominating the background combined with perfectly smooth camera movements makes me think that everything was done by machine. Then when we get to the camera shake it just feels wrong. If it was closer up then it would be more tolerable, but this just gives the impression that someone was shaking the dolly accidentally. Some of it was ok, but I wasn't very impressed for the most part. I guess we've gone to Vecna for the villain now, which is kind of weird that after all these years(?) they encounter an evil humanoid instead of whatever the hell the other entities were.

Laura Dern running in slow motion in the film Inland Empire (2006) also known as the time David Lynch decided to make a feature length home movie with a digital camera he bought.

Having watched it a few times I can that it only gets worse. It doesn't add anything but distraction to what should be a harrowing scene.

I think it would be better if it was a real camera shake, but this stinks of being an after effect done in post production.

It appears to be. https://www.wsj.com/articles/uvalde-residents-voice-frustration-over-shooting-response-11653588161 Edit: Behind a paywall, this isn't https://www.thedailybeast.com/uvalde-mom-says-she-was-handcuffed-while-urging-police-to-enter-robb-elementary-during-school-shooting

It sounds like the Uvdale police were the best accomplices the shooter could have asked for. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/27/us/robb-shooting-survivor-miah-cerrillo/index.html Nothing says heroism like letting a child lie in the blood of her murdered classmates for an hour because you're too busy tasering parents.

It's good. Not great like Evangelion or JoJo, but a good watch nonetheless.

Vampire in the Garden I suppose technically it's a series, but at 5 episodes clocking in at 20 minutes each it feels more like a film that got cut up. It's set in a post-apocalyptic world where vampires and humans are at war. The humans live under a military dictatorship that is NO FUN ALLOWED while the vampires either do hedonistic balls and such that is evocative of fantasy nobility or live in squalor. No in-between is apparent. The main characters are two princesses (or similar) who hate their existence and dream of a utopia where humans and vampires can live together in peace. So of course they go on a road trip and are hunted by a katana wielding uncle and his special ops team and a retainer who carries around a dog. Overall I liked it for what it was.

I hope Ted Cruz ****s off into the sun. For the most part I don't see any fences at schools here, but admittedly I don't look very hard. If I had kids I think I'd prefer that to Texas schools, which additionally are not very good in other ways, though it does sound dystopian and scary. But I can't afford rent in the Bay Area so that's moot.

Maybe they'll means test the guns by verifying that you aren't a card carrying member of the communist party a CRT propagandist? The worst suggestion I've seen comes from good ol' Ted Cruz, who thinks that schools should have one entrance with an armed guard. Without even touching on the effectiveness of such a thing or the costs in converting existing buildings into single entrances, what does that dumb mother****er think is going to happen if there is a fire?

Nope. In the video you can see them holding a guy down and a taser in a cop's hand. Here's the source where they admit they got their own kids out during the shooting, or at least tried to. I've also heard that a cop directly caused the death of a child by asking them to yell if they need help, which allowed the shooter to find a kid and shoot them. I believe that the cops are a bunch of chicken****s who sacrificed 20 people because they missed a few shots and got scared. I won't claim to know what policies there are, but they don't mean anything if they're going to be dropped the second resistance is encountered.

And with all that money, the cops rescued their own children before barricading the shooter inside the school and tasering parents outside. Truly exemplars of heroism.
