I hope everyone has parties planned, or at least realizes that people wandering the neighborhood on Halloween are not necessarily hoodlums.
I succeeded in finding two newer movies for Halloween, starting with last week’s feature. That challenge, as succinctly described by some of you, isn’t that there aren’t good new movies. There are just not a lot of good unknown movies for free streaming. I accepted that challenge and avoided the slide towards levity again this week. I present to you a double feature and a music link:
- Sator: This is a slow burn. Country folks and monsters in the forest. Are the creatures monsters, or gods? What happens to the people who disappear? I suggest not looking this up on IMDB or anywhere else until you have watched it. Damn near every review blows some important facts best kept secret. This was written and directed by Jordan Graham who also did Specter in 2012. I very much look forward to watching his back catalog and seeing what he does I the future. Sator is best watched in the dark, with a window open.
- Intruder (aka Night Crew): If you need immediate choppy-choppy-stabby-stabby action instead of a slow burn, I am including this great classic film. This is a true slasher film with screenplay and direction by Scott Spiegel, who worked a lot with Sam Raimi. In fact he worked so much with Sam Raimi that you’ll see the Raimi brothers in this film as well as Bruce Campbell*! The original story for this was written by Lawrence Bender. Link provided in case you don’t recognize the name. He went on to produce some rather famous films.
- Halloween is a time for remembrance of the dead, so I am posting this music link. There are many people I remember who were in and worked on that video. Who will you light a candle for on Halloween?
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Next post will be… Something. I will be in Vegas during this Halloween show so I hope you enjoy. When I return, so shall our regularly scheduled programming.
*Note to Three Stooges fans: One of the last appearances of Emil Sitka is in this film.

Hits play?
“If you need immediate choppy-choppy-stabby-stabby action instead of a slow burn, I am including this great classic film. ”
OK, now I can hit play. I don’t have over three hours to watch two movies.
Halloween is a time for remembrance of the dead, so I am posting this music link. There are many people I remember who were in and worked on that video. Who will you light a candle for on Halloween?
Oh yeah. The Ramones. I like that cover better then The Who original.
Light a candle on Halloween? I’ve never done that. On the other hand, on a trip to PA earlier this year, I made some long overdue visits to some gravesites. Relatives and a friend.
Emil Sitka. I looked at that IMDB page. I should recognize him because I liked the Stooges. But I don’t recognize him.
I’ll queue this movies up for later viewing. I’m trying to wrap up some stuff at work that is taking longer than it should. Thanks RJ!
I can type.
“These movies”.
I don’t know if the cover is better than the original but the video is great.
“choppy-choppy-stabby-stabby action instead of a slow burn”
Sounds kinda Shakespeare.
Or a Wednesday noon post.
SF is plugged directly into the Lovecraftian horror. Punks like me and RJ are just low-level cultists and tentacle servants.
Cultists! Cultists! Yay!
Now back to my anniversary. Vegas writeup coming soon.
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!
Musk owns Twitter
https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/elon-musk-fires-twitters-top-brass-closing-44-billion-deal-reports
And he fired that lawyer lady who was on Rogan. That brings me joy.
Was it on camera?
If so, it should be on pay per view. He’d get a significant part of that purchase price back.
Lol. Absolutely true.
I’m getting a chubby just picturing Agrawal walking out the front door with a cardboard box.
Tesla Engineers Visit Twitter Office to Review Code for Musk
That website is a dumpster-fire, can’t read.
Elon Musk closes $44-billion Twitter deal, ending months-long saga
Among Musk’s first moves: changing the leadership. Departures include Chief Executive Parag Agrawal; Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal, policy and trust; Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, who joined Twitter in 2017; and Sean Edgett, who has been general counsel at Twitter since 2012, according to people familiar with the matter. Edgett was escorted out of the building, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public.
. . . . .
As the deadline neared, Musk began putting his stamp on the company, posting a video of himself walking into the headquarters and changing his profile descriptor on the platform he now owns to “Chief Twit.” He arranged meetings between Tesla engineers and product leadership at Twitter, and he planned to address the staff on Friday, people familiar with the matter said. Twitter’s engineers could no longer make changes to code as of noon Thursday in San Francisco, part of an effort to ensure that nothing about the product changes before the deal closing, the people said.
I wonder how many True Believers are going to ignore/work around that.
Assuming they have version control systems in place it should be obvious and should possible to back out the changes.
Looks like he fired the entire C-suite. My erection is definitely going to last more than 4 hours.
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/elon-musk-takes-over-twitter-on-thursday-fires-top-execs/
The company wide meeting is going to be something else.
Well, he is doing exactly what he said he would. Good move getting rid of lefty lawyer lady. Hope he can create more proggie tears.
And it’s already off the front page of google news.
Move along. Nothing to see here,
Speaking of demonic possession, HRC, and other horrors, my wife and I found the worst smell ever tonight. Imagine a dog eating kitty rocha, digesting it, and then vomiting it up. Well, that was it. Worst. Fucking. Smell. Ever. The wife was gagging, I was laughing from that, new dog wanted another round of it. High. Larity.
Even I don’t know what rocha is, but it sounds nasty and I can only imagine its meaning from context. Eeeewww!
Fresh-ish cat shit with litter all over it.
I… can’t even.
And I am familiar with the creation, but didn’t know it had a name.
Heh. Even our vet uses the term. It might be a west coast thing. Unfortunately.
I have never heard the term. The visual popped in my head as soon as I put the story together.
Looks like Almond Roca. Ever hear of the kitty litter cake that incorporates them as a topping?
I’ve made a kitty litter cake, but I used Tootsie Rolls for the poop.
It is a damn good thing the dog is cute. Schnauzer Power in the form of a PEP!!! https://postimg.cc/1V64SywR
All dogs are simultaneously cute and disgusting.
When they go Low. Larity. We go High. Larity.
Been there, smelled that. But when you bring up HRC and bad smells… *shudder*
VH1: Under the Tutu
This is a walkthrough of a game called SCORN which I just heard about. Looks amazing.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ZSOzPCtws&pp=QAFIAg%3D%3D
It’s on my wish-list but it’s gotten pretty mixed reviews. *shrug*
Thanks, RJ 🙂
Is this supposed to help Fetterman? https://www.nationalreview.com/news/fettermans-wife-calls-swimming-in-america-very-racist/
Why would NR try to help Fetterman?
What does NR have to do with it? They are quoting her. The question applies to his wife’s comments.
Forget it MikeS. It’s The Hyperbole-town.
Sorry, around here I’m used to people bitching about the reporting not what’s in the reporting.
As to her comments – how could they not help? they are Democrats and everything revolves around race. They believe that ‘Murica has a rich history of keeping colored kids out of white people pools, so her desire to take a once rich white guys pool and teach poor black kid how to swim in it is very narrative friendly. And not entirely without precedent in reality.
Yeah, that, or she’s more full of shit than a three-hole outhouse. Some (not most or even many) voters will see that.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Swimming was racist, what with all the darkies trying to touch the blond leg hair of the stud lifeguard, and said lifeguard beating down brothers with chains.
lolwut
You just don’t understand the love that a rich liberal has for poor people.
I didn’t want this large apartment, but the dream was to turn this linen closet into the People’s Linen Closet.
Lump is under by 3 points in the latest poll. The Dems are about to get their asses handed to them.
Lump’s wife sounds like a ditzy lefty. Not a fan of (that) Oz, but I’m glad she isn’t getting backdoored into a Senate seat.
What part of the electorate already voted? Real question.
real or fictional?
I’m good either. Penn’s Supreme Court will waive them through.
Early voting is typically heavily for Dems. I have not seen any numbers tho from the current voting in Penn.
I saw numbers not too long ago that about 600K Democrats had returned early voting ballots. About 100K Republicans.
About 5 million voted in PA in the 2018 gubernatorial election.
We were given a pellet burning smoker/grill. I had to try it out right away and faked my way enough to smoke/cook a burger each for the wife and I. Wow. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to get into this more.
I had a friend tell me “I could smoke a turd on this and it would taste great” when we discussed his pellet smoker. Someday….
I like the ritual involved with my barrel smoker, but given my limited physical abilities these days it’s just not worth the work unless I’m cooking for a large group.
Just finished seeing Blue Man Group. Have not seen them for maybe 25 years.
Going to Meow Wolf Saturday. Hoping I can take pictures.
https://meowwolf.com/visit/las-vegas
I’m guessing you aren’t allowed to buy anything from the Meow-Mart. Lame.
But don’t go carrying pictures of Chairman Meow
It never ends. Ne’er do well got mugged again and his mother wants to rescue him. I’m about at the end of my line. No I will not let a physical threat into my home again and yes, she must choose between her husband of 28 years or the meth-head. Sadly she seems to be weighing the options. FML!
I haven’t felt so trapped since I was about 15 years old living in my parents house. Might be time to move on.
Other than that, Happy Halloween! Sorry folks, I’ll just be quiet now.
Damn… It hurts me to know that you and Judi are forced to deal with this. If you ever want to work a flat-top and make breakfast sammiches, Alfred is just a hop, skip, and a jump (and a sneaky border crossing) away.
Sorry Festus.
I like l0b0t’s suggestion. Alfred has a really good cafe.
Sorry to keep hearing of your trials and tribulations, Son. Getting older is supposed to be a reward unto itself but somehow it doesn’t always seem to work out that way. Do your best, the Glibs are always here.
Come to the US!
Oh boy, that is terrible. I am currently a spectator at a battle between Mrs. Patzer’s cousin, his 91 year old mother, and his wife. Cousin evicted his mom after a dust up between wife and mother. It’s terrible even once removed, i can’t imagine what it’s like to be one of the players. I am rooting for you, Festy, hope everything works out.
Festus, if you’re still there, have you considered an order of protection and/or Legal Aid?
Mornin y’all.
https://www.fox29.com/news/former-philadelphia-sheriffs-deputy-accused-of-selling-guns-used-in-roxborough-h-s-shooting
Oh.
So if the police bought those guns from the people who bought them, it really would be a buy-back.
Damn, I forgot I was in last night’s thread.
I forgot to cover my plants last night. It got chilly again. 😟
It’s late in the season, I guess I should let them go…
But that pepper plant had just turned it’s life around and was going to start college. Don’t get me started on the tomatoes though, they were going to end up in prison.
A time for planting, a time for harvesting
I did that about a month ago. Next spring I’m going to give a lot of my seed grown apple trees away, they’re about 3-4 feet tall, should transplant well. Some of my neighbors have already cried “Uncle” but there are still a couple more new ones that need to be surprised.
suh’ fam
yo whats goody
GT- I dont know how to stop the auto-play on our local news’ website. I know its not fazed by my adblocker.
And Im really sick of their “what we know now” and “what you need to know” lede.
Haley Kosik really takes the wrinkles out of my ‘love-sausage’.
Good morning, homey, Sean, and l0! (Fes – I’m so sorry for your troubles, and I hope you’re asleep by now!)
Got my car issues taken care of yesterday (knock wood!) This morning, time for my dental checkup! 😕
Mornin’
Good your car is taken care of.
Off to the gym.
Good morning, DEG! Happy workout! 🏋🏼♂️
And Im really sick of their “what we know now” and “what you need to know” lede.
“No, what you think is wrong.”
“Here’s what you should do” is another helpful hint from friends and relatives.
Good morning to all, a little warmer in Podunkville, looks like we’re into a mild spell (for here) for a few days. I cranked up the wood stove but it wasn’t necessary this morning.
“Don’t leave any wood in the shed for your widow’s lazy assed new boy friend to burn” seems to be good advice at this point
“Dem Congressman Claims Arming Ukraine Is About Protecting Woke Values”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/dem-congressman-claims-arming-ukraine-about-protecting-woke-values
Well damn, Jerry Falwell was right about all of that being the road to Armageddon and I’m not particularly happy about it.
“Jerry Falwell was right about all of that being the road to Armageddon”
Ugh. This is a perfect setup for another Jim Jones moment. Might as well jump on that train to heaven, right?
Mornin’, reprobates.
Good morning, ‘patzie (and Stinky, Roat, and 4(20)!) Did I see that you slew that Great White Whale??
Yah, mostly. Murphy’s law raised its’ ugly head in the form of a completely unrelated issue the morning of my great triumph.
Will get stent removed this morning. Dare I hope for relief, finally?
Oh, I hope you can hope for relief!
Good Morning
No new drama here.
That is good news.
Good morning, ‘bodru! Likewise hope you have no tragedy and only comedy!
