Louis Ferron (1942-2005)

Mijn volgende boek(je) is “De gehuurde hand”, een novelle die Louis Ferron schreef in 1994 t.g.v. het vijftigjarige jubileum van uitgeverij De Bezige Bij. Het is Ferrons ode aan de Franse film noir, aan acteurs als Jean Gabin en Alain Delon, maar bovenal aan de grootmeester van het genre, de regisseur Jean-Pierre Melville (foto: Louis Ferron in 1981 door Hans van…

Finally watched the last ep of neverafter

For some reason I thought this released on the 7th.

This game is like the frosting on a pack of those themed cupcakes you bring to class on your birthday. It tastes plasticity and leaves much to be desired...and food dye. But hey! Cool ring!

It's the narrative direction I never liked here, not the presentation.

Still haven’t listened to that finale bc I got scared and now I think it would be a little funny if the mutuals saw me freaking out a week later. Also take some Glennry I’m doing for a trade that was supposed to be quick and easy but then it possessed my body

I'm starting to think that I've slept on the brilliance behind Oogie's design, and now that I think about it, his design is so simple yet effective.

For one, there's the aspect that he's supposed to be the boogeyman, which when you think about it, doesn't have a set in stone appearance.

Other aspects/forces do, for example Death: which is usually depicted as a skeleton under a cloak with a scythe. And that design can be played around with.

Going back to his design, sure there’s no set in stone appearance for a boogeyman, but there's just one trait that is quite common: the sack to put children into.

Another thing is that there's one boogeyman type creature called the Bugbear, which comes from the word "bugge" which means "a frightening thing". The word "bugge" basically makes up the word bug which is of course another word for insects.

And Oogie is this exact combination of the two.

Plus, bugs/insects are generally a thing that some people feel disgusted by. Heck some people have phobias of bugs/insects, arachnids and snakes.

So by combining the two, it not only creates a simple yet uneasy design, but it finally gives the boogeyman a a type of face.

In fact, I'd say that out of the other designs we've seen for a boogeyman in media, Oogie's is by far the most popular.

So when you think about it, Henry Selick and Tim Burton created not just another iconic character, but also a worthwhile recognizable face for a boogeyman/a personification of fear.

Props to them.

My girlfriends leather pants. A bit tight, and no room at all for my bulge. Got even tighter when i moved into shooting position...

Y'know what, another shout-out to Henry Fuckin' Collins is required.

Even after the Orren-related unpleasantness and even as he's preparing for such an incredibly dangerous task, he's still firm, authoritative, and confident in instructing those around him on what to do throughout.

I don't know, I just think that's very brave and sexy of him...
