'Dead Men Walk,' directed by Sam Newfield

Movie, 1943 A rather strange, low-budget horror, in which an evil man walks the world after his death, and through vampiric deeds, tries to wreak havoc on his identical brother – who’s under a vague suspicion of having killed him. A picture which is only very fleetingly effective, with a few creepy moments here and there, from a cast which seems game in trying to squeeze what they can from a…

You Know, Aurelius' Life Described Out Of Context Sounds Like A '5 Seconds Before Disaster' Compilation

"Young prince strikes soul bargain with a continent-feared, reviled, evil-looking dragon, "I'm sure it'll be fine""

This one's pretty self-explanatory, but I really just find art like this funny because it looks like Zodi is about to chomp his head off when it's actually heartwarming and fluffy (even funnier is the one fanart I've seen where it's baby Leo being held by Aurelius reaching up because that amps up the aforementioned effect 100%):

"Young prince inherits hostile geopolitical position from warmongering father"

Explanation: however old he was when Aurelius ascended, he was young, since he's been reigning for a long time. While we have 0.001 info on his own father, the .001 we do know is that he seemed to be a bit of a warmonger:

Nothing like inheriting a terrible situation as an inexperienced youth! Sure sounds like a 5 seconds before disaster scenario to me!

"Is Local Royal Bloodline Cursed? 3/8 Children Either Missing or Dying From Disease Confined To Bloodline - Is There More To Come? More At 11"

"King departs solo without telling anyone and carrying a newborn and very ill son cross-country across exceedingly dangerous terrain - What Could Go Wrong?"

"Local king has genius, perfectly logical idea wrought from deep grief: if souls and body are separate, why not just make a better, healthier one for his boy? Mysterious 'Faerie King' in forest agrees."

"Local King Returns Home Unaware That His Son's Soul Did Not Return With Him In the Body He Had Created to Save Him (DEMONIC) (EVIL GOD) (NOT CLICKBAIT)"

Really, for everything regarding Beren, Euden, and Nedrick, he can be summed up with this good old Onion headline:

"Local King Sets Out On Dangerous Quest To Scary, Ominous Ruin With Unknown Dangers In Pursuit of 'Something Important': "Don't worry, it'll be fine," He Says"

So on and so forth... And let's not even get started on Audric!

Inherit the Wind is a 1960 American film based on the 1955 play of the same name written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee. The film was directed by Stanley Kramer. It stars Spencer Tracy as lawyer Henry Drummond and Fredric March as his friend and rival Matthew Harrison Brady.

It also features Gene Kelly, Dick York, Harry Morgan, Donna Anderson, Claude Akins, Noah Beery Jr., Florence Eldridge, and Jimmy Boyd.

The script was adapted by Nedrick Young (originally as Nathan E. Douglas) and Harold Jacob Smith. Stanley Kramer was commended for bringing in writer Nedrick Young, as the latter was blacklisted and forced to use the pseudonym Nathan E. Douglas.

Inherit the Wind is a parable that fictionalizes the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial as a means to discuss McCarthyism. Written in response to the chilling effect of the McCarthy era investigations on intellectual discourse, the film (like the play) is critical of creationism.

An iconic dance sequence image of Elvis Presley from his film Jailhouse Rock

Jailhouse Rock is a 1957 American musical drama film directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Elvis Presley. Adapted by Guy Trosper from a story written by Nedrick Young, the film tells the story of Vince Everett (Presley), a convict who learns the guitar while in prison and becomes a star following his release. Four of the film's songs were written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, including the title track, which became a highly-praised production number in the film as well as one of Presley's biggest hit singles, spending seven weeks at number one on the U.S. charts. Jailhouse Rock premiered in Memphis, Tennessee on October 17, 1957

Decoy

If the science underlying Jack Bernhard’s DECOY (1946, TCM, YouTube) were any loopier, the film would be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. High-living moll Jean Gillie comes up with a plan to save boyfriend Robert Armstrong from the gas chamber so she can find out where hid the loot from an armored car robbery. Knowing that methylene blue is an antidote for cyanide poisoning, she seduces gang leader Edward Norris into arranging to have Armstrong’s body stolen after the execution and doctor Herbert Rudley into administering the drug. Miraculously, it not only cures Armstrong but helps get his heart beating again. At one point Rudley injects it into the dead body as if the non-beating heart could circulate it to his failed organs. With skills like these, he could run a YouTube channel for anti-vaxxers. The craziest thing about all this, however, is that the film works. It’s a Monogram picture, so Bernard didn’t have the money for any great photographic effects, but he keeps it moving quickly and gets in some nice character details. And the script — by Nedrick Young from a story by Stanley Rubin — has some fun digressions, like a medical prison orderly who’s reading the dictionary to improve his mind (though he can’t figure out how to pronounce “dichotomy”). It also has Sheldon Leonard as a police detective attracted to Gillie. He has a way of growling out tough-guy dialog so even a howler like “Don’t let that face of yours go to your head” has the ring of authority. Best of all is Gillie, a British actress in her first of only two U.S. film roles. Her Margot is one of the most cold-hearted femmes fatales in the genre, a worthy companion to Barbara Stanwyck’s Phyllis Dietrichson and Ann Savage’s Vera. The film’s ads warned, “She’s the kind of woman who treats men the way they’ve been treating women for years,” which makes her a murderous Mae West. That’s reflected in the film when Leonard saves a young innocent from a lech pretending to be a producer, and the doctor dumps his nurse (the very good Marjorie Woodson) for Gillie, who really is turning the men’s tactics against them, though in the eyes of 1940s morality, she still has to be punished. As Leonard warns her, “People who use pretty faces the way you use yours don’t live very long anyway.”

It's the loneliest feeling in the world. It's like walking down an empty street listening to your own footsteps. But all you have to do is knock on any door and say: 'If you'll let me in, I'll live the way you want me to live, and I'll think the way you want me to think.' And all the blinds will go up, and all the doors will open, and you'll never be lonely, ever again.

The script was adapted by Nedrick Young and Harold Jacob Smith, the latter was blacklisted and forced to use the pseudonym Nathan E. Douglas. (from wikipedia)

You don’t need anything, do you? People, love, an idea just to cling to?

And now, possibly the most crack-ish discussion me and my friend have had regarding dragalia, in meme form:

...As visualized by my friend WillofWinnie who has yet to play all of dragalia!

For context, please view the video 'spiders on drugs' that's easily found in YouTube, but I'll put a link here! Maybe somewhat incomprehensible explanations below, but please do watch it if you haven't seen that before...

Euden: we couldn't decide. He's got the occasional hyperactive tendencies of a friendly golden retriever (especially as a child) and prone to being taken advantage of, hence caffeine, but also likes chilling and tries to stay out of others' personal drama, so THC!

Emile: we also couldn't decide, but caffeine is more rage for him than hyperactive friendliness. Also an easy mark for the family to exploit if they wanted. (The gun is because Leonidas drew a gun on him for his joke in the blood that binds). Emile's kinda lazy too in some aspects, as he tries to cheat out of work, so THC he goes.

Zethia: she's just trying to keep the peace and watch over the world, so into THC she goes. Also exploitable for the other siblings,see Nedrick circa chapter 14/15.

Phares/Valyx: more obscure siblings/spiders in both lore and video, who usually watch the rest of the drama of the others most of the time. Not very involved in sibling conflicts and personal squabbles.

Aurelius: look the 'raised over 100 young' comment was just too good and it didn't fit anyone else okay??

Leo/Nedrick/Chelle/Beren: the mean cool at least somewhat competent ones who are too good to build a web all on their own instead of making another do the work (Chelle), will take another’s web gladly as a conqueror(Leo), ready to commit murder of the caffeine spiders at some point and/or exploit the THC ones(all of them), and they're opportunistic attackers.

So...yeah. that's the current royal family, as represented by Spiders on Drugs. Hopefully someone else can find enjoyment of this wonderful piece of documentary history!
