Run Away! Run Away!

Cute Little Buggers

What movie has man-eating rabbits, British people, and…

Stop shouting Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

…And really, really bad CGI effects?  Ha!  stumped you now, didn’t I?

It’s this thing.  Cute Little Buggers.  Give this film a chance.  The actors put their all into it, it has humorous moments, and all those British accents! I just tried to ignore the unholy bad rabbit monsters.  Seriously, they could have used hand puppets and done better.

I will say I enjoyed this romp of horny aliens trying to reproduce with human females to produce little rabbit monsters. And I hope you do too.

So Watch! Or Don’t! Everything is Voluntary! We now have Two Films left before there is a year of film posts. And I was debating between showing one of two films for the next film:

  • Deadlier than the Male: Another spy film about dangerous women, part of the Bulldog Drummond film collection.
  • Zero Theorem: Terry Gilliam movie about an equation that proves life is meaningless.

Now if nobody has an opinion (Libertarians usually have at least three opinions a piece – prove me wrong), I will just play Murdercycle, about a sentient murdering motorcycle because WHY NOT.

I have no idea how I even got to two hundred words. This has been one hell of a week.  I’m trying to catch up on work because it is my birthday on Sunday, and the wife just got out of the E.R. after a bout of pneumonia (That’s the best birthday present).  See you next week after I am one year older and none the wiser.

    Happy Birthday, RJ. Killer motorcycle… wonder if people give their motorcycle female names. It’d make more sense that doing that with a car or boat.

  3. DEG

    Happy Birthday! It’s good that your wife is not in the hospital.

    I will queue this up for later viewing. I am working on my FreedomFest write-up.

    Stop shouting Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

    To tie the two together: John Cleese was at FreedomFest.

    • Chafed

      Look at Kevin Bacon over here.

    “Now if nobody has an opinion (Libertarians usually have at least three opinions a piece – prove me wrong), I will just play Murdercycle, about a sentient murdering motorcycle because WHY NOT.”

    Ever see Rubber (2010)?

    • straffinrun

      No, but I have a strong opinion on it.

    • R.J.

      Rubber was just not action packed enough for me. Maybe I just need to try again?

      • Ted S.

        If you want more action from your rubber, you need to think kinkier.

      • Count Potato

        It doesn’t have much action, but it’s definitely different. Also, Roxane Mesquida is a total smokeshow.

      • R.J.

        I can put it in for post-One. I have Dr. Alien down too, if you just want to stare at hotties.

      • Count Potato

        Amanda & The Alien (1995) is cute.

  5. Count Potato

    HBD!!

  6. R.J.

    Nice to see you all, great to be back from a disastrous vacation.
    I am still enjoying calling people whippersnappers.

    Wabbits.

    WABBITS! WABBITS! WABBITS!

    • R.J.

      Since they are British, they have no weaponry that would easily dispatch the little things. Poor Brits…

  8. Tundra

    Happy birthday, brother! Mine was last Sunday.

    So what is it? 30?

    • R.J.

      57? 56? Something like that.

      • Tundra

        Lol.

        Mine was 55. Numbers mean shit.

      • Chafed

  9. Pat

    One of these days when I’m free of distractions I’ve got to binge watch the whole year’s worth.

    Happy birthday, my dude!

    • R.J.

      Thanks!
      Psst…
      Bookmark the anniversary show…

      • Count Potato

        I’m still voting for Big Tits Zombie.

      • Count Potato

        Well, it has Eric Roberts, but in that case I’d go with Dead or Alive (2006).

        Anyway…

        Big Tits Zombie perfectly encapsulates everything about Thursday movie night. It’s not just its titular big tits and zombies, but big tits and zombies! it’s both a clever parody of new Japanese horror, and a stupid exploitation movie made by a pink film director starring Japanese pornstars. It has action. It has hot chicks. It’s foreign. It’s very gratuitous. It has everything!

        Also, another good one to add to the list is Wasting Away (2007). It’s on Tubi as Aaah! Zombies!!

      • R.J.

        Does it have another name? I am unable to locate it on a free streaming service.

      • Count Potato

        It has four names between Japanese and English as far as I can tell (I can’t read Japanese). It’s also known as “Big Tits Dragon: Hot Spring Zombie Vs. Stripper 5”. It’s on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-Ah8wQyayM, but you have to sign in or use the Age Restriction Bypass for YouTube™ extension or get around it some other way.

    Murdercycle? Did you already subject us to Rubber?

    • juris imprudent

      Ah someone else beat me to it.

    I forgot to ask… are there naughty wemonz in this flick?

    • Aloysious

      Narrator: Yes. RTFA.

      • R.J.

        Naughty BRITISH women. Not terribly naughty. Not a blue night.

  12. hayeksplosives

    I will definitely be watching Zero Theorem at some point.

    Another cheesy killer rabbit movie is Night of the Lepus. Uses live rabbits and tiny sets to make the rabbits look like they are rampaging over the town.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Lepus

    • rhywun

      I will definitely be watching Zero Theorem at some point.

      Yeah, that one piques my interest.

    • R.J.

      I am going to rewatch Zero Theorem this weekend to see if that is the one I do. Svengoolie does Night of the Lepus, I think. He got a bunch of new movies recently.

    • DEG

      A friend of mine loved that movie.

      • DEG

        Oops… two movies were mentioned.

        My friend loves “Night of the Lepus”. Delightfully bad.

  13. Gustave Lytton

    Happy birthday!

    Watched The Vampire Happening aka Transylvania 1971 on Midnight Pulp (free with ads) this week. Mostly it was contrived to show off Pia Degermark’s and others tits. I liked it.

    • R.J.

      That is a good one. I saw it posted recently and I need to rewatch. So much to do! So much to see!

  14. The Late P Brooks

    That was educational.

  15. LJW

    So now the claim is Trump had nuclear documents. Might need to find this more than the 72 hour rule.

    • rhywun

      It will turn out that he has the formula for Diet Coke.

      • Chafed

        That’s about as likely.

      • Gustave Lytton

        The fbi recovers diaries and laptops. Why not secret recipes?

    • R.J.

      I have a hard time believing that. Also I agree with Rhywun.

    • one true athena

      I’m at the point I don’t even understand how any rational person looks at “sources familiar say” at the Washington Post and swallows it down. Even the article doesn’t actually say it’s ‘nuclear papers or whatever, it’s “somebody was concerned there might be something sensitive there, we’re not sure exactly what, maybe it’s even nuclear!’

      yet all the usual suspects are all “gasp! he stole the launch codes!”

      • Gustave Lytton

        I thought General Lardass said that they couldn’t be used without his say so.

    • Gustave Lytton

      The best legitimacy is the thin veneer of legitimacy. Leaving aside the possibility of planting evidence, I wouldn’t be surprised if similar documents went home with past presidents or similar and the feebs have been looking for any and all possible excuses to do this.

    • rhywun

        Hey, buddy, good to see you again.

        Pop over to the Pyramid Saturday evening. I’ll buy you drinks and dinner.

      • R.J.

        Long time no see! Still up to no good I hope?

  16. Trigger Hippie's Starving Abs

    I’m hungry.

    Don’t worry, I already feel like an asshole. I’ll change my avatar in the morning.

    … I’m hungry.

    • R.J.

      Me too. I finished organizing the garage (why? I don’t even know) and now I am….
      Eating peanut butter from the jar with a spoon.

      • Trigger Hippie's Starving Abs

        I feel you, brother. Shrimp flavored ramen noodles was tonight’s dinner.

        I hate this shit. I’d rather have a muffin top and at least five extra pounds of fat on my ass.

  17. The Late P Brooks

    So now the claim is Trump had nuclear documents.

    *guffaws, slaps knee*

    I was thinking about this, earlier. There is literally nothing of which a single copy exists, anymore. Are they claiming he has something without which the government cannot function?

    Something tells me the “crime” will turn out to be something on the order of stealing stationery and pens from the Oval Office supply room.

    • R.J.

      … He took the red button, which he THOUGHT dispensed Diet Coke. But it was the nuclear war button.
      @CPRM, you out there?

    • hayeksplosives

      I glanced at the request to unseal the warrant. But it said “limited” in there which makes me think they’ll cherry pick to make Trump look as bad as possible and let people imagine the worst.

      Guess he should have kept his records on a private server and wiped it, like, with a cloth.

      • one true athena

        smashed his phone with a hammer works too

      • Plinker762

        I imagine it will be similar to this

    All this seconding around here is making me ornery. I have set the example for you people. I need you to live up to it. THE WORLD NEEDS YOU TO LIVE UP TO IT.

    • R.J.

      The One is coming. Are you going to first on The One?

      • Chafed

        He is known to prematurely first.

      • Brochettaward

        I need to preserve my energy most days to provide nourishment to The First. Others need to step up while I carry this burden.

    • R.J.

      I see. They changed the mascot. Wussies.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Well, changed the typeface from brushstrokes to generic printed too.

  20. Count Potato

    Thanks RJ 🙂

    • R.J.

      Welcome! See you next week!

  21. Chafed

    I vote for Murdercycle. It feels like the libertarian thing to do.

    • R.J.

      Nice. Even if I don’t play it next week, I will play it later. Totally absurd movie.

      “AIIEEE!! MURDERCYCLE!!!”

  22. The Late P Brooks

    now I am….
    Eating peanut butter from the jar with a spoon.

    Pretzels with peanut butter on them. You can thank me later.

    • R.J.

      Sadly that would require pretzels I do not have. Come this weekend I am doing a Brazillian steakhouse, then going to the Cigars International super bar in DFW for bourbon and cigars. I intend to close them down.

    • Chafed

      I love these euphemisms. Do you own a dog Brooksie?

  23. UnCivilServant

    I don’t think I have time to watch it now, so going by the title and the british use of the language, I’m going to assume it’s about Chibi Sodomites.

    • R.J.

      Sadly no. But if you do watch it tomorrow, enjoy. It’s getting late and I am off to bed myself. Long work day.

    • Chafed

      Did someone die because the fire suppression system was activated.

      • Plinker762

        Looks like the contractors got in an elevator while the foam was deploying and one was smothered by the foam.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Yes, and several other injured. Hanger filled with foam, workers exited the building by descending in an elevator… into the foam and one drowned/asphyxiated.

    • Don escaped Texas

      I don’t get how a wet-pipe system can be “activated” by the flow meter: either a head fused or it didn’t….or no one understands what a wet-pipe suppression system is.

      I also don’t get all the “generators” in the ceiling. I put in one for a huge building that only had one surfactant pump and a dozen proportioning heads. I can see the value in redundancy, but that’s a lot of expense for a system that you are counting on to work.

      • Gustave Lytton

        I read it as the foam discharge system was the one that activated as chained off the flow in the wet pipe system, not an actual activation of the wet flow system. Water froze in the inspection test pipe of the wet flow, caused a slow leak, which registered as flow, which in turn triggered the foam.

      • Don escaped Texas

        I got the flow signal part….kinda: that’s some leak (consider how much tolerance is designed into a flow-switch to account for typical pressure transients from the water supply)….but let’s throw them that bone

        so it was pure surfactant? that’s not gonna bubble, and there’s no volume to it…only a couple thousand gallons in the entire hangar one might guess

        I think I’m missing something still

      • Gustave Lytton

        High expanding foam. The original test was 110gal generated 3′ of foam. So 17′ would be only around 660gal.

        Ensign Pulver on steroids

        Similar test discharge https://youtu.be/TpOwkchy9Bw

      • Gustave Lytton

        Rereading that, not sure if the 110gal is pure solution or postmixed 98% water/2% solution. High expansion foam can be up to 1000x expansion.

    British people

    A buddy just got approved for US disability today after months of nonsense. I thought about putting together a meme/stream based on the black knight with a sort of odd role reversal for him, but, after a bit, I don’t think disability or bureaucracy is very fun.

    Black Knight: none shall pass?
    King Arthur: right, you haven’t filled out Addendum XXIV
    BK: but that’s for native Americans
    KA: it’s for everyone!
    BK: it’s about military service before age 40!
    KA: it’s for everyone!
    BK: I didn’t even live in the States at those ages!
    KA: none shall pass!
    BK: ok! **fills out form describing when one stopped beating one’s wife**
    KA: none shall pass!
    BK: but I filled out all your bleeding forms!
    KA: but you’re not disabled
    BK: my fucking foot’s off!
    KA: no it’s not
    BK: yes, you fucking cunte, look see there’s nothing below the knee there; I can’t work any more!
    KA: none shall pass!
    BK: **comes back twentieth time in 20 month**
    KA: right this way!
    BK: really? what did it for you, that selective service form from the decades I was in Belfast?

    • hayeksplosives

      That should be criminal.

      That’s Mengele-level evil.

      Haven’t they seen enough stories of FTM girls/women who transition back?? Even the ones who already had their breasts removed at least have a womb and ovaries!!!

      The detransitioning femalemight have problems getting pregnant after the “male” hormone “therapy”, but if there is no uterus, the odds are exactly zero.

    https://kval.com/news/local/protect-your-home-from-fire-by-creating-defensible-space

    “Science kind of shows this is the best opportunity that a homeowner has, if they follow the guidelines,” says ODF’s Connor Devore.

    GFY, you incompetent baboon. Your agency nearly burned down the state capitol. All of you hacks should be fired.

    In a wind driven large fire, defensible space means jackshit. The homes that survived were flukes of geography and fire direction. Or the stupidity of large scale “green space” (that unirrigated becomes brown space in the summer). And ignore that 20′ of defensible space has become 50′, and now 100′. When will it end?

    • Don escaped Texas

      The homes that survived were flukes of geography and fire direction.

      another case of their looking through the wrong end of the binoculars

      cause and effect: how do they work!?

    • hayeksplosives

      One thing that seems to have been relatively recently learned is that a frequent contributor to the spread of wildfires in houses near fire.zones (like southern CA) is having burning ash or lightweight embers get sucked into the chimney of a house, where it then catches carpet, drapes, or furniture on fire.

      So they recommend installing a finer mesh at the top of the chimney and having it inspected annually to make sure it’s intact.

      We did that in Escondido, and we are about to do in here in Southern Nevada.

      • one true athena

        place a bit away from us had a grass fire in their field/pasture. Fire dept came, put it out. Three hours later the barn caught on fire and burned to the ground – presumably FD had missed an ember smoldering in or next to the barn. Neighboring homes are very lucky it didn’t spread.

      • Don escaped Texas

        I was explaining dust fires to a guy today who mentioned how much sawdust was in his joists: the first little boom is just some dust in a machine catching and maybe knocking out some windows. The second, huge boom is the dust in the rafters and on top of pipes and gurts and such being shaken into the air by the first little boom and then going off…..down goes Frazier.

      • hayeksplosives

        Yup. Scary stuff. Wildfires change in an instant, in direction, intensity, or both.

        I was definitely more concerned about wildfires than I was about earthquakes.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Yeah, I should say I’m not against voluntary measures. I clear brush and minimize fuels around our house but im under no illusion that it will stop a firestorm. Small slow moving fire, sure, might do that. Won’t hurt. But this is being used to push restrictive building codes, condition people to accepting regular power outages in the name of safety, and all sorts of nonsense.

        Some of the nutjobbery that got pushed in the wake of the big fired two years ago was ugly concrete bunker homes and fencing. Insanity. I saw cinder block buildings, metal roofs, vehicles, all totally gutted from the intensity of the fire. Concrete houses wouldn’t make a difference.

      • Don escaped Texas

        well, what about cinder block beds and couches? make everything out of pre-burned materials!!!1!

  26. hayeksplosives

    Random question:

    Does anybody have a recommendation for a good, simple Moon Phases phone app? One that requires only one click to get the phase?

    I hate apps that make you go through a bunch of crap just to get to the desired info. That’s why I use “MyRadar” for the weather radar (on a loop, updated frequently and no extra hoops, just a small banner ad at the bottom for the free version).

    So I offer you the rec of “MyRadar” and would appreciate one on Moon phase.

    • Don escaped Texas

      I don’t like any of the sky map apps I’ve found 🙁

      Yeah, they said they’re going to pull the plug after they see if any organs can be donated.

      I hope the lady whose home she destroyed in the crash can be compensated by Heche’s estate, since she was on cocaine at the time and clearly at fault.

      • Sensei

        Her insurance limits for sure. So I’d guess someone of her stature carries at least a $1m umbrella, but likely more.

        So without even touching the estate I’d imagine she has an easy time of at least that much for building a new structure.

      • Not Adahn

        clearly at fault.

        Alec Baldwin said this event just “happened to” her.

    Good morning, Sean, rhy, U, and hayek! (Never know whether to abbreviate your handle as HE or HS, so…)

    Friday! Not a moment too soon! Biggest deal at work today is a going-away party for a departing coworker. Boss said we could spring for cheap catering, and she wanted Chipotle, of all things, so I guess we’re all BYOB*ing for lunch. ::shrugs::

    *Build Your Own Burrito

    • UnCivilServant

      Morning.

      I made it to the office without incident. I’m debating whether to eat the other half of this sub now or save it for lunch.

      ‘fraid I don’t have any non-digital croissants for you.

      • Gender Traitor

        Thanks anyway. If I left early enough, I might be able to drive through Tim Horton’s to get one…but that would involve leaving early. And maybe it’s best if I just stick with my usual instant oatmeal to tide me over until Burrito Time.

      • UnCivilServant

        I only got here early enough because I bought my food yesterday. I overslept my typical commute day schedule (despite the alarms). I’d been hoping for a more relaxed morning when I pre bought my food, but instead I merely enabled timely commuting.

      • Gender Traitor

        I’d picked up enough workday lunch salads after work Wednesday to get me through until Monday, but I’d forgotten about the Chipotle thing today. Guess I’m set through Tuesday. Now if I could just get to the point where they satisfy me enough to stay away from the replenished break room snack supply. Grandma’s Chocolate Brownie Cookies are a particular weakness.

    • Grosspatzer

        That’s Mister Creant.

      • Grosspatzer

        Wait, I thought we had settled on Creantix. I’m having trouble keeping up.

      • UnCivilServant

        Creantix is Pharma with worse side effects than the disease it treats.

      Well Hi dee ho!

    Washington county NY. I can recommend one of the cheesemakers on the list (Consider Bardwell) as excellent, and one is completely new to me. Slyboro is also very good cider-wise.

    Far fewer places participating this year. No idea if the others died of the ‘vid or what.

    Dancing Ewe is only “acceptable” cheese-wise, but is having a “meet the sheep” thing for those of you who are into that.

    • UnCivilServant

      I donno. I don’t feel like I have the same connection to the cheese sheep as I do to the Glib sheep.

    Headed to the Joisy Shore in a bit. I’m starting to wonder if the beach is such a good idea.

    https://nypost.com/2022/08/11/south-carolina-woman-dies-after-being-impaled-by-beach-umbrella/

    The spiked end of the umbrellas can become lethal once a gust of wind catches the device’s canopy and sends it flying, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

    The federal agency estimates about 3,000 people are injured by beach umbrellas every year.

        This is NJ, not FL! Great Blue Heron. My shitty phone camera does not do it justice.

      • UnCivilServant

        In the picture, the boid is the same color as the water and the shore, making it so that I didn’t even see it until after you said it was in the image. I was going “A dirty pond?” trying to figure out what the picture was.

        And having seen blue herons in real life, my phone camera wouldn’t have done any better picking them out against the Hudson.

        Yes, I remember back in the ’93 floods, Des Moines was without water (water plant flooded) and the saying was “If it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown, flush it down.” Fortunately I lived in Ames, which “only” had some of its major streets flooded.

      This is highly likely. Trump has too much baggage with all of the things his did and more importantly all of the things people think he did. Desantis has only his current record of relative success during the pandemic to attempt to ridicule and denounce.

    • AlexinCT

      I think that is them trying to badly play 3D chess. Their real purpose in this giant shitshow is completely driven by the need to prevent someone – anyone – they don’t control through blackmail to take power and undermine their agenda. And not only is Trump that guy, but he knows what they did to him and would want revenge if he gets power back. Trump is an existential threat to the corrupt machine.

    • UnCivilServant

      The narrative of the FBI being a thuggish organization only able to ‘solve’ crimes it instigates?

      • Rebel Scum

        That’s what the fbi actually is. The regime narrative is that “violent, extremist white-supreme, anti-gov’t Trumpites are after fbi agents”.

    • RBS

      Yeah, this is exactly what I would expect to happen.
