  • Nah, in Hellraiser 2 a mental patient at a mental ward who happened to be good at puzzles was forced to open the box and the centobutes recognized that she had no idea what she was doing beyond executing the dry movements of the Lament. She didn’t have any desire to explore the realms beyond earthly pleasure and sensation in dimensions far past human comprehension beyond not wanting to get in trouble with her captors. It’s not raw desire for just any ol’ thing. the cenobites seek out, it’s a particular desire.

    In modern times, the kids would probably be having meet ups and tournaments for speed cubing with this puzzle box, and there’d be YouTube channels dedicated to algos and strats and the poor cenbites would be worked to the bone if they didn’t have those mental filters in place.

    If Hellraiser wants to go meta in a future instalment, they can steal this idea. Have the cenobites be forced to industrialize their system, with puzzle boxes constantly being opened and the cenobites having to vet the openers at such a rapid pace that they need to work in shifts…

    A tired and weary cenobite arrives back to his home after a long day of false positives. His partner asks him, “no hits today honey?”

    “Not a one. There was one that I thought had potential but her desire was a new PR and not a consciousness-rending excursion to the outer realms of earthly sensation. Story of my life.”

    “You’ll land one soon, dear. There’s someone out there right now, some world weary hedonist who’s exhausted his options for earthly pleasures and just received his own puzzle box and is going to hit up some YouTube tutorials, hon, I just know it. You’ll see.”

    “I sure hope so, babe. Leviathan has been dragging us the last few weeks, and usually they’re pretty chill but I think the higher dimensional beings upstairs are looking at the quarterlies….”

    “We’ll pull through dear. Remember that last big account? The billionaire?”

    “That guy… yeah his suffering was legendary. That was honestly my best work in years. Wrecked Rectum of the Year candidate, remember?”

    “I remember.”

    “Glorious…. Such agony… anyways, we should get dinner started yes?”

  • The first few were good and I rewatched the first two relatively recently. They dropped off pretty hard starting with 3 though yeah? I haven’t watched the reboot but really should do so, but I don’t know if I can stand to watch one without Doug Bradley.

  • “It is not hands that summon us, it is desire.”

    If you have no wish to summon the cenobites, it might be no more dangerous than a Rubik’s cube, but there’s probably some horrible catch where even if you’re 99.99999% sure you want nothing to do with ‘em they can probably still pull out some hellish unfathomably small print legalese on you.

  • 24 Revival: Howard Gordon Confirms Jack Bauer Return "In Process"

    跳过

  • I think they’re referring to the fact that Jack Bauer said “dammit” every other sentence in the original run.

    “Dammit Chloe I need that protocol.”

    “Where is the bomb dammit?!”

    “Dammit Kim, I need the dammit schematics to the nuke dammit!”

  • "The Accountant" has flaws, but it's still a likeable movie for me.

    跳过

  • I don’t know, I feel like Ben Affleck just doesn’t have the raw charisma to believably pull off the role of an accountant.

    (Believe it or not this joke was lifted from former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper who made the same joke about himself.)

  • TIL about the largest labor uprising in history: The Battle of Blair Mountain, when the US military was deployed against 10,000 WV coal miners

    跳过

  • A similar thing happened in my neck of the woods in 1925. Sounds familiar: unionized miners go on strike, company cuts off all credit to the company stores that they controlled, things become heated, company police shoot into crowds of miners killing one and wounding others, tensions increase, the military is brought in, and the dispute finally ends after a provincial election and recognition of the legitimacy of the union. Flash forward to today and the mines are all but shut down and many are museums, but the incident is still recognized every year as a local holiday.

    Songs have been written, stories told.

  • Our eyes are not perfect organs so why pretend like they are? Our eyes fail us:

    • when it’s too dark
    • when it’s too bright
    • when there’s fog
    • when there’s too much rain and snow
    • when there’s glare from the sun
    • when there’s obstructions
    • when there’s sensory overload
    • when there’s something covering our eyes like dirt and mud
    • when we can only see on the visible spectrum

    Why wouldn’t we want more incoming data to account for these shortcomings? Optical-only vision-based solutions are incomplete because our eyes are incomplete. I can’t see that a car is stopped dead in the road 10 feet ahead of me in thick fog, but an advanced set of telemetry sensors can. My eyes are not better than the scores of technology we’ve built over the past few decades and I’ve been practicing with them for 46 years. Give me a helmet that includes LIDAR and infrared and night vision and sonar and telemetry from a satellite and GPS and weather tracking and god knows what else and I’ll be much less likely to rear end that car in the fog. We humans invent technology to make up for our shortcomings, so why go with the idea of “if it’s good enough for biological evolution it’s good enough for these multi-ton contraptions we have hurtling down highways next to each other several metres apart at 100 km per hour every second of every day?” It sounds ludicrous on its face. We can choke on a peanut because our swallow tube is the next to the breathing tube ffs. We can do better.

    President Trump mocks former Transportation Secretary : "This guy takes a bike to work ! Can you believe it ?? He rides a bicycle"

  • I don’t doubt that for a microsecond. There is zero chance that the man has ever ridden a bike, skated a skate, hopped a scotch, skipped a rope, or frisbeed a frisbee.

  • Canadians supporting Trump, how do you rationalize it?

    跳过

  • He doesn’t care. He thinks those people are losers. He has no concept of what war means for the people fighting in it, it’s just an abstraction, it’s just a word that can be pulled out when conversations need to be redirected or attentions refocused. It means nothing.

  • People who live in touristic areas, what are the rudest behaviours you've seen among tourists?

    跳过

  • I watched a tourist drink a few beer at the local inn and then just throw the cans onto the lawn and keep drinking. So basically littering. That stuck in my craw. This is my town buddy, take the 5 seconds it takes to dispose of your shitty cans of your shitty mass produced beer that you usually have back home that you made sure to let everyone is far better than the local microbrew we have here in town.

    Also one time we had some tourists loudly complaining about immigrants while visiting. Those aren’t immigrants you dope, they’re citizens of our country. They were born here.

    On one occasion I was driving somewhere and it was along a scenic drive and I had to stop for something. A group of aging old men on motorcycles who were doing the scenic drive told me I couldn’t park in that area because it was theirs. I said get fucked, you’re in my backyard, I’ll park wherever the fuck I want. I think they thought they were intimidating because they fancied themselves a biker gang, but biker gangs usually don’t have New Balance and rental bikes as part of their aesthetic.

    As for which Aurora, from the first movie:

    My name is Wayne Campbell. I live in Aurora, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago. Excellent! … Okay, I still live with my parents, which I admit is both bogus and sad, but at least I've got an amazing cable access show, and I still know how to party.
