Scream where everything is normal except Ghost Face phrases all of his sentences like Mojo Jojo

NYX #2 was great!

Trimming down Roger L. Jackson's entire Mojo Jojo speech in The Powerpuff Girls Movie was a CRIME.

The man said all that in ONE BREATH for crying out loud!

A gallery of the many things I picked up at Colorado Springs Comic-Con this year, including my PPG meme signed by Roger L. Jackson (I had to remove the text so he'd have space to sign), an original sketch by Ren and Stimpy co-creator Bob Camp, and a photo of Kimiko Glenn and I with my Kiff meme! @doodlesbutawesome might have the better version, but I've got the one signed by Kiff herself. (I'm just joshing you Doodles, you're cool.)

October 13th: Slasher Horror | Scream

Scream was released in 1996 and was directed by Wes Craven. On the one-year anniversary of her mother's death, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) becomes the target of a masked serial killer who has a habit of making strange phone calls to his victims. With her boyfriend Billy (Skeet Ulrich) and her father as the prime suspects, Sidney and reporter Gail Weathers (Courteney Cox) must race against the clock to catch the killer before more fall victim to his twisted games.

Living up to his title as one of the kings of horror cinema, Wes Craven reinvented and revitalized the slasher sub-genre with Scream. The film is credited as rekindling the interest of the horror genre after its decline in the 90s, and it isn't hard to see why that was. It's a very self-aware film that addresses common tropes that had become popular in slashers without being too preachy or on-the-nose about it. It does a wonderful job of bringing both humor and tension to horror and manages to pull off a fantastic plot-twist that popularized a trope in of itself. Scream is a love letter to horror movies and horror fans alike and truly deserves the title of one of the greatest horror movies ever made.

I could not find any platforms where you can watch it for free. Content Warnings for the Film (may contain spoilers): violence, jumpscares, gore (only in the beginning and not that bad), mentioned rape, profiteering off tragedy, mentioned adultery, fatphobic remarks

Profiles in Villainy

Mojo Jojo

Are you familiar with the tragedy of Jojo the smart?  

He had once been a regular monkey who acted as the companion and laboratory assistant to the brilliant Professor Utonium.  The professor was desperate to be a father and endeavored on a daring experiment to create the perfect little girls.  Throwing himself into his work, the professor neglected Jojo, leaving the sensitive primate bitter and anxious.  In a fit of anger, Jojo pushed the professor knocking over a vial of the strange and dangerous ‘chemical X.’  This resulted in a terrific explosion that not only created The Powerpuff Girls but also drastically altered Jojo.

The mutagenic properties of Chemical X caused the monkey’s skin to turn green and his brain grow several times in size, bestowing him an unparalleled intellect.  Jojo tried to win the professor’s attention with his newfound cognitive gifts, yet the professor was too busy with his new daughters to pay him any mind.  Jojo's pain, his jealousy and resentment grew into a blinding rage.  He ran away and rededicated himself to using his genius to destroy Townsville and conquer the world.

Now known as Mojo Jojo, the monkey embarked on a campaign of sinister and ingenious machination so to achieve his goals of domination.  And time and again the Powerpuff Girls have been there to stop him.  It has made for a cruel irony that these same rivals for the professor's attention would also become Jojo’s most persistent and vexing of arch nemeses.  

And yet the monkey persisted and was ultimately victorious.  Mojo Jojo succeeded in finally conquering the world.  Rather than ruling the planet with an iron fist as he always imagined he would, the monkey instead solved many of world's problems and proved himself a most capable and benevolent of leaders.   Alas this did little to quell the deeply seated feelings of pain and unmet need he had within him.  Ultimately, Mojo Jojo became bored with the peace he had achieved and reverted to his evil ways.  The world resumed to its former status quo and Jojo returned his role as a villain whose diabolical schemes were regularly thwarted by the Powerpuff Girls.

Whether or not this simian Sisyphus will ever attain that which has remained out of his longing grasp remains yet to be told…

Actor Roger L. Jackson provides the voice for Mojo Jojo; with the villain first appearing in the debut episode of The Powerpuff Girls, airing on November 18th, 1998.

aphrodite girls started saying "hi barbie!" to eachother after the barbie movie and the boys made a 'kenergy' and 'i am kenough' t-shirts to wear as pjs change my mind

so it's too soon to say really, but after getting a, um, solid present left on my hallway mat i've employed the jackson galaxy technique of litter box detective and.... it seems to have made a difference?

the idea is to take into consideration all the places where improper elimination is taking place and trying to string together a narrative. so:

bed

bathroom sink

mat in front of the litter box

mat in entrance hall (and one time a slipper that was there but I'm grouping that together

so if it were just the bed I'd put it down to scent marking as obv that would be where my scent most strongly outweighs hers (i'm 98% sure it's just taddarita who's the culprit here so I feel confident using the singular). but the other locations? for me the commonality is that they're open spaces as opposed to the covered litter boxes I'm using.

so, one box has its top removed now and..... it's been two days and there's been a few wees in the sink but nothing anywhere else so far? and like i can see the appeal of the sink from her point of view (open, high up, pee just goes away without having to bury it).

still not confident enough to let them into the bedroom unaccompanied, but maybe we're on to something 🤔

Percy Jackson! Percy the main character can speak to Horses and their mythological cousins.

HE CAN SPEAK TO HORSES?!?!

I WANNA KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!!

Maybe if I watch this movie, I’ll learn how I’m adding it to my list!

fun fact somebody else may have already pointed out: in the subway station (i believe on the stairs, not in the train car) is somebody dressed up as mojo jojo from powerpuff girls! this is probably a shout-out to roger l jackson, who does the ghostface voice because he also voiced mojo jojo.
