Screaming Mad George appreciation post 🙏💀🖤 such a vibe

George C. Scott at the Doctor Strangelove premiere, realizing Kubrick only used the goofy takes.

I wanna evacuate my howls.

In your dreams, show no mercy.

‘He had always known and accepted the fact that the gods were hard; he had no desire, however, to live in a world where the gods were insane.’

He could hear the evening crickets tuning up in Annie’s field. He thought, ‘I heard that same sound as a small, unhurt boy,’ and for a moment he nearly wept.

It will be mine, oh yes. MK was and remains one of my favorite movies. Blasted my ears listening to the soundtrack on my Walkman. Fun fact: MK: Annihilation is the second movie to severely piss me off when I was a kid (the first was Ninja Turtles 3). I like it now, though.

This is why I have very little patience for most ghost stories, and it’s also why I think Poltergeist is the best ghost story, because it doesn’t play around with “or are they crazy?” even a little.

No one understands how jazzed I am to play this again. Some of those levels are gonna make my eyes bleed, lo these thirty-odd years later.

Shoe the children with no shoes on their feet.

In your dreams, show no mercy.

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation (smooth liquidation!) I want a girl with good dividends (good dividends!) At Citibank we will meet accidentally (meet accidentally!) We’ll start to talk when she borrows my pen.

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of coffee that thoughts acquire speed, the shirt acquires stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."

first principles, clarice. simplicity. read marcus aurelius. of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? what is its nature? what does he do, this man you seek?

I know some folks hate on Elizabeth Banks (not sure why), but not me, baby.

Wrapped up season 3 of DD again last night. I’d forgotten how good that season was on the whole (my only complaint is that I’m dying to see Bullseye in his real costume). This moment here is an all-timer for me (I just love the characters and their explosive hate for each other):

There you stood on the edge of your feather Expecting to fly While I laughed, I wondered whether I could wave goodbye Knowin' that you'd gone

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Finally got to Annie’s backstory (wasn’t sure that would happen), but I love the tell-all book version of an exposition dump. It’s right up there with wise old magic lady and niche book store curator.

I did not know Alanna Ubach by name until yesterday, and hooooly shit, this lady has some range:

‘He hadn’t lived the life of a hero or a saint, but he did not intend to die like an exotic bird in a zoo.’

“Hey man, whatcha doin’?” “Trynna… trynna figure out the best way to hit on the head of HR…”

If you’re feelin’ down, depressed, and lonely… I know a place where we can go.

My favorite photo of the Creature

Homophobia and Transphobia is so crazy to me because its all based in people’s inability to mind their business

“What’s wrong?” “I’ve entered my torture porn era.”

kids these days don't stay awake during the jaunt anymore

“Tornado cellars,” he said, licked his lips, and laughed dryly. “What the fuck, friends and neighbors.”

Got my mahfuckin’ preorder in, yeah you know I did, due.

These sort of people really piss me off! Imagine having these views in 2026!!! 🤪🤪🤪

Where were you while we were getting high?

And who knows which is which and who is who.

Well now she’s gone, even though I hold her tight. I lost my love, my life, that night.

The Fly (David Cronenberg, 1986)

Some humans ain’t human.

Here's various images I found of the 'Wall of Monsters' giant prop/puppet. I wish there was more available, but I think I did the best I could so far! I forgot where I found three of these (and other images of the Wall of Monsters)...I believe on a sculptors FB page, who sadly passed away)

Thank you, Sam Kieth. RIP
