@bttf-dork I started this but lost motivation rlly quickly, but here it is!

David, Marty and Kieran in dresses :D

Here are the dresses I used for reference (I made David's nature themed, Marty's is one of most famous 80s dresses and Kierans is inspired by an actual dress from the 1800s :)

[outlawruben]

So I’m listening to David Bowie today, and Ziggy Stardust comes on, and some lyrics resonate with me, because it reminds me so much of Dutch Van Der Linde.

Particularly here, (starting at 2:11)

Of course we have the “Making Love with his ego” which is something Dutch EXCLUSIVELY does 💀

But also describing him as a “leper messiah” (aka a sick messiah), which the word messiah is often used or associated with Dutch, but it also refers to his mental instability.

And then of course I like to interpret the next to lines “When the Kids had killed the man, I had to break up the band” as when Hosea dies he really starts to “break up the band” (aka the gang)

Anyways, Rdr2 is rotting my brain and y’all are just here to witness my slow decline into madness. 👍

The Black Cat 1934

The Black Cat was Universal Pictures' biggest hit of the year. It was one of eight films to feature both Lugosi and Karloff together.

There was even an audition where fans brought in their black cats for Lugosi and Karloff to judge for that special feline to be cast in the movie.

Check out my writing!

I have finally gotten back into the writing groove again and I haven't posted about it a lot on here so I am making a list (with links) of the stuff I have written lately! There's going to be a mix of video game and wrestling fanfics!

Links are below the cut!

Blessed Are The Peacemakers (Red Dead Redemption 2)

Hosea has a gut feeling.

And he really wishes that he was wrong.

Mending Fences AU (Wrestling)

This AU is made of four fics so far. It details the saga of Yuta making amends and 'mending fences' with Chuck and Orange.

You've Got Red On You (Wrestling)

"Love you." Orange says, leaning his head on Chuck's shoulder.

"Love you, too."

Backslide (Wrestling)

Max rolls his eyes and opens the door, allowing Caster to come inside against his better judgement.

Who said he makes great choices anyway?

Friend, Please (Wrestling)

"Orange is missing."

Chuck's head shoots up instantly. "What?"

Trapdoor (Wrestling)

Orange is not okay.

And there is only one person to watch out for him, now.

Brother (Call of Duty: Ghosts)

The Walker brothers have a late night.

Finders Keepers (Red Dead Redemption 2)

God.

Hosea hopes he doesn't regret this.

(Or a story in which the curious couple finds and acquires some unruly sons)

Resurrect The Sun (Wrestling)

Orange has seen this before.

It's like a plague.

Wish I Didn't Know Now (What I Didn't Know Then) (Wrestling)

Orange isn't doing so hot.

Snap Back (Wrestling)

Yuta is feeling a bit anxious.

Well, scrap that.

He's feeling very anxious.

Bullet Holes In Butterfly Wings (And Blue Jeans) (Wrestling)

Willow and Kyle spend some time in Orange's locker room.

Fathers and Son Hanahaki AU (Wrestling)

This AU is made of three fics. It deals with Yuta contracting hanahaki disease.

Father and Son (Batman: Arkham Knight)

Jason has some... complicated feelings as he returns home.

GHOSTS AND DEMONS AND EVEN WILDER YET

Opening this weekend:

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire--This fifth feature in the franchise begins with a nice macabre episode set in 1904, like something from a creepier version of Disney's Haunted Mansion. This is followed by an extended chase through the streets of Manhattan, as the current Ghostbusters pursue, in the "Ectomobile," an eel-like flying dragon spirit up from the sewers.

It's a reasonably diverting start, and the movie goes on to deploy, in addition to Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon and the kids from 2021's Ghostbusters: Afterlife, most of the available stars from the 1984 original. Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Williams Atherton and Bill Murray show up--no Sigourney Weaver or Rick Moranis, alas--and not just in cameos but with fairly substantive screen time. I was disappointed that the all-woman crew from the much-maligned and underrated 2016 version wasn't invited to this party, but apparently fans are still traumatized.

Anyway, the old vets here are good company--Murray with his peerless sardonoic line readings, Akyroyd with his gee-whiz delivery of expository gibberish. A couple of new adds, like Patton Oswalt as an authority on the occult and Kumail Nanjiani as a clod who sells Aykroyd the spherical ancient artifact that serves as the McGuffin, also get into the proper, uhm, spirit of things.

On the whole the movie, directed by Gil Kenan from a script by Kenan and Jason Reitman, is an enjoyable lavish no-brainer. The closest it gets to any emotional weight is an intriguing plot strand in which the teenage heroine (Mckenna Grace) bonds, seemingly romantically, with a teen ghost (Emily Alyn Lind) after she's forbidden to go 'busting until she turns 18; the actors manage a touching rapport even through the special effects prism.

But if Frozen Empire--which concerns a horned demon with freezing superpowers imprisoned inside the McGuffin--doesn't feel like a home run, it may be the result of too much wholesomeness. The teen romance and bickering family dynamic didn't quite feel like Ghostbusters to me, somehow. What made the '84 film seem new was its mix of extravagant, big-budget special effects spectacle with the snarky, irreverent slacker sketch-comedy of Murray and the other stars. Only when Frozen Empire taps into this sensibility does it truly thaw out.

The movie is dedicated to Ivan Reitman, director of the original, and this film, like several of the others, includes a nod to Cannibal Girls, Rietman's 1973 shocker starring the impossibly young and adorable Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy. I hope it makes fans seek out that amusing low-budget creepshow; there's a movie that doesn't suffer from too much wholesomeness.

Late Night With the Devil--Here's another wry paranormal chiller set in New York, although it was conceived by the Australian brothers Cameron Cairnes and Colin Cairnes and filmed in Melbourne. The premise is that we're watching the 1976 Halloween episode of a syndicated talk show, a perennial also-ran in the ratings to Johnny Carson. Desperate for a sweeps win, the recently widowed host (David Dastmalchian) stacks the guest list with a hokey stage psychic (Fayssal Bazzi), an Amazing Randi-type skeptic (Ian Bliss), and a psychiatrist (Laura Gordon) and her patient, an angelically smiling teenage girl (Ingrid Torelli). This girl was rescued from a cult and just might be possessed.

From the set to the music to the "More to Come" break cards, the Cairnes Brothers truly capture the look and feel of anything-goes '70s talk shows to a degree that will be nostalgic to those of us who remember them. The movie also evokes sources of the period from The Exorcist to Network (Michael Ironside provides stentorian narration in the manner of Network's Lee Richardson), and the soundtrack includes the likes of Flo & Eddie's "Keep It Warm."

The "found footage" conceit is quickly strained; the supposed "behind the scenes" sequences are pretty cinematic and helpfully narrative. But after a while you accept it, largely because the acting, especially the haunted yet game showmanship of the excellent Dastmalchian, keeps us involved.

It's a little scary, but mostly Late Night With the Devil is, like Network, a tongue-in-cheek satire of TV business culture, with ripe lines like "Ladies and gentlemen, a live television first, as we attempt to communicate with...the Devil. But not before a word from our sponsors." I also loved the implication that no amount of supernatural power could overtake Carson in the ratings in those days. Apparently even the Devil couldn't do that.

At Harkins Shea...

Remembering Gene Wilder--This documentary, directed by Ron Frank, does indeed fondly remember the late comedy great. Frank makes Wilder himself the narrator, using audiobook excerpts from his noirishly-titled 2005 memoir Kiss Me Like a Stranger.

Born Jerry Silberman in Milwaukee, he grew up trying to make his mother laugh, and later drew inspiration from the mental patients he worked with while serving in the U.S. Army. He wanted, he says, something a bit "wilder" for his stage name when he started acting in New York. Cast in Brecht's Mother Courage and her Children at the Martin Beck Theatre in the early '60s, he met leading lady Anne Bancroft's future husband Mel Brooks, who later cast him in The Producers.

From there, we get a chronicle of some of the highlights of Wilder's movie career--not all of them; Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx and Start the Revolution Without Me, for instance, are passed over. But there's terrific material on Bonnie and Clyde, The Producers, Willy Wonka, Young Frankenstein, his relationship with Richard Pryor, his scenes with the sheep in Woody Allen's Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (he says that Allen told him that he wanted to do a version of Sister Carrie with a sheep instead of Jennifer Jones), and more. My own favorite of Wilder's characters, Jim aka The Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles, is very well represented here.

Talking heads include Brooks, Carol Kane, Mike Medavoy, Alan Alda, Ben Mankiewicz, Rain Pryor, Harry Connick, Jr., Eric McCormack, and Willy Wonka's Charlie Bucket himself, Peter Ostrum, as well as Wilder's widow Karen Wilder, all speaking with unmistakable love. They tell good stories, but the real joy is simply the big dose of Wilder's utterly sui generis blend of innocent sweetness and strangled volatility. If the clips in this movie don't make you smile, you may need to see a doctor.
