Surprise surprise! I’m back. Sorry for the inconvenience, but… I jus’ want to voice my opinion on horror films. Sorry for the wall of text, but here we go…

I strongly believe films are only really effective if it’s more than blood and gore, and there is no one in the film to react to it. The best types of horror. Stuff that isn’t just “Someone gets their body/face extremely fucked up and a character screams” but jump scares are the absolute worst. It’s just a very cheap form of horror especially if it gets a reaction from a character. I also love creepy ominous horror. Just, extremely unsettling images and sounds, that get gradually worse and worse, like something is going to come…but it never really does. NOT just cheap scares. I love atmosphere, and horror films should also have a unique palette, not that boring contemporary looking colours. Make the plot not just paranormal activity in someone’s home or the street. Give it a unique ‘feel’.

Pennywise from both ‘It’ films have their both pros and cons about their looks. Tim Curry’s Pennywise from 1991 looks great apart from the costume which looks a bit naff. Whatshisname’s Pennywise from 2017 (I’m not gonna even bother looking up his name) has a superb costume, his hair and makeup is good, but the face ruins it. Why did you have to pick some young dude? And don’t even get me started on those goofy-ass buck teeth.

Now, don’t judge me as I haven’t really seen either of these movies, but…

Eraserhead is a great example of my type of horror, bizarre images with bizarre sounds, no cheap shit. Same with the Exorcist. While both of these movies have people in them to react to them they are still PROPER HORROR.

Slasher movies are the absolute worst type of horror. They don’t scare me or make me feel creeped out. Sure, they have you on edge, but it isn’t really unique or effective, unless you’re squeamish or something.

TL;DR True horror films should have a sense of extreme creepiness or unease, have non-gory unsettling images and sounds, and have no one to react to them, therefore the viewer feels much more creeped out and it stays on them much longer. And to hell with slasher films. No pun intended.

The LBIC ad, while not meant to be creepy, is a great example of what I’m talking about.

P.S. it would be superb if anyone could direct me to something like it, think Little Baby’s Ice Cream crossed with Dining Room or there is Nothing, with the latter’s grainy and warm-coloured palette and horrific sound effects.

That is all.

The movie Us is a type of horror movie the likes of which I had never seen before. Watching the movie from start to finish there’s no jump scares, no unsettling images or anything like that, but once the credits started rolling and I started thinking about the movie I was left feeling deeply disturbed.

But there’s still people to react to it. And by the way, this 6 minute short animated film from the 1950s is a PERFECT example of what I’m talking about. Not only is there no sound effects, just creepy orchestral music and a narrator, but it has an amazing style, is hauntingly down to earth and and the visual Indiana Jones type horror, while I know it has (very effective) gore, is extremely haunting and overall this film is TRUE feckin’ horror.

Edit: Basically a lot of shit from the NFB, especially other works from Peter Foldes. One of them, Hunger (1974) made me want to puke because of how unsettling it was.

FUCK ALEXANDER THE GREAT, THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND WESTERN CIVILIZATION UP THE ASS WITH A RUSTY PITCHFORK!!!

Not only did it screw Women over, Asia was a beautiful place back in the day, then Alex and fucking Britain ruined it all. Fuck fundamental Christianity and “🤪yElLoW pErIl 🤪”. More like White Peril. FUCK the British empire, Greece, and especially rOmE.

That is all.

**It’s Obscure, Very Important word I forgot to put in the title.

Hello y’all,

There’s this extremely weird and obscure album I mentioned on another thread. I found on Spotify. Not weird as in the usual weird album like any prog rock stuff, I mean weird as in obscure, and the fact that it’s the messiest and sketchiest sounding album I’ve ever heard. Everything seems copied and pasted. It’s extremely bizarre, mysterious, and sketchy-sounding. And best of all two of their tracks are literally variations of the EXACT SAME SONG! I’ll add more info if anyone can help to uncover this extremely mysterious and bizarre album.

I posted this because I am so fascinated by it and would love to unravel this mystery.

Here’s a link to the Amazon page:

Thanks y’all.

Sorry for any discomfort but I need to get this off my chest.

I’m a stupid adolescent and I have been addicted to masturbating to scantily clad women and fetish stuff since 2018 FUCKING HELP ME I JUST JERKED ONE JUST NOW AND FEEL SO HORRIBLE ABOUT IT HELP ME!!!

Yep, not even pr0n. This makes me hard to relate so save me from this cycle. 😣

By the way, y’know that fetish stuff I linked (now removed) on the DeviantArt thread? Yep, I jerked off to that back in 2018. For the last time, help.

Soz to necro and old thread, but as a parting gift I’d like to behold you all to the greatest Star Trek game ever created.

Well, I guess this is also goodbye for me, now that Oojason’s gone.

Y’see, now that I have no interest in Star Wars, Superheroes, or Popular Culture anymore, and the fact that Off-Topic now has the activity of someone in an old folk’s home. There’s a thread that was supposed to have everyone post their film and TV reviews, but only the OP ever posts. This really shows how much of a dead horse Off-Topic is, it’s a shell of it’s former self. I guess this is almost exclusively a Star Wars preservation site now; a site which I have no interest in. And since this is NOT a mental support forum…

I just do not see any reason being active anymore.

But before I go, I’d just like to say that my rowdy behavior is caused by my (mild) mental issues I’d not like to name for privacy reasons. Conservatives aren’t THAT bad; looking back it’s like judging Christianity purely on the Crusades.

But anyways, if I don’t come back to voice anything else that I haven’t already discussed…

Cheers, Spuffy.

Farewell, Oojason. May you find peace.

Hey, if it’s any consolation, I hate conservatives too, man.

That wasn’t the point of my post. I was just fed up with my shitty life.

But I still hate conservatives, regardless.

The Beatles got a LOT better during and after '65.

Absolutely not a hot take.

What I meant to say is that their earlier songs are mostly trash. I hate most love songs with a passion. They have as much depth as a baby pool.

Also, early ‘60s songs are shit.

We Didn’t Start The Fire is fucking GARBAGE and Billy Joel’s worst song. Lots of good ‘70s artists got trash in the ‘80s! Uptown Girl is also so damn puerile. I hate that good awful corny voice Joel does in that song. And my god, Movin’ Out! The way Joel sings in that song makes me want to stuff a handkerchief in my ears! 🖕😤🖕

It’s funny how the middle name “Luther” are borne by two specific people who are complete opposites of each other. One’s one of the greatest men who ever lived in this modern day, and the other is one of the craziest pieces of shit in this modern day. Strange.

It’s definitely bizarre seeing LuckyGungan’s post about what a nice place this site was/is followed immediately by the Navy Seal copypasta.

I just felt like posting it at the time, it was intended to be a random joke, but to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools… how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

Yeah, it’s all fine and dandy here, but what the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Fuck you Mao. This whole pandemic is your fault. Without your stupid fat ass Covid would have been controlled. Also, fuck you Winnie the Pooh and your cronies for censoring the early info. Also, fuck you again Mao Zedick for almost destroying China’s beautiful traditional culture and massacring many Chinese people. On top of that, fuck you Columbus and fuck you British Empire for destroying indigenous cultures all around the world. And to top that off, fuck you USA for ruining Asia’s beautiful traditional culture.

I just listened to an album with an incredibly weird take on old Russian folk songs. Not sure if this is the right thread but could anyone kindly shed some light on it? Because it’s really intriguing, bizarre, and ever mysterious; there’s barely any information on the album.

I’ll reveal the album when someone agrees to help me.

Sincerely sorry if I sound stupid.

Surprisingly, Bob Dylan. His voice just has such a comfortable and calming feeling I can’t describe.

Rick Evans is also quite good.

Best decade is definitely the 1960s. Not sure about worst decade, likely 2000-10s. But the 1950s/early 60s were incredibly boring.

Somebody’s probably already posted this, but definitely Hurricane and Desolation Row by Bob Dylan. Absolutely wonderful. Also, Ain’t Talkin’ is severely underrated.

I HATE HAVING OCD SO FUCKING MUCH… AAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!
