On this day, April 1, in Type O Negative history:

Rumor has it that, while watching Escape from New York, if you start playing the original version of Bloody Kisses directly after the credit for "Directed by John Carpenter" rolls, the song "3. 0. I. F." will be playing during the scene where Snake steals the station wagon from The Duke's henchmen...

Type O Negative play the Orange Pavilion at the National Orange Show Events Center with Pantera in San Bernardino, CA (1995) (shenanigans and hijinx ensue)

Bloody Kisses is #15 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart (1995)

An interview with Peter appears in The Eye Weekly magazine (1995)

Type O Negative play Characters with Drain STH and Stuck Mojo in Greenville, SC (1997)

Type O Negative play Live Oak with Coal Chamber, Full Devil Jacket, and The Deadlights in Live Oak, TX (2000)

Never stop blowing up OC where I blatantly rip off Snake Plisken but make him Australian

Local horse girl with allergies and no access to animals becomes Crocodile Niles (once again he's Definitely not just Snake Plisken) and gets to wrangle lizards and have a George of the jungle-esque emotional and shirtless scene with a horse

Templates I used if you wanna make one:

I dreamt of travelling a world that was a cross between Trigun and Fallout New Vegas. I explored an expansive sewer system, but no one could enter because of the radiation. Only twins had a mysterious power to survive it.

In another dream, I think I was travelling with Solid Snake (as Plisken) and someone else. I was suddenly given powers. They began to manifest spontaneously one after the other and I struggled to control them. The world was hostile to people with powers, so I had to get to cover while I figured it out. I staggered into the toilet and closed the door. I suddenly shrank into an SD version of me about the size of a hamster. People were following me in, so I took the chance to skirt out undetected. When I reached Snake, he was concerned about the alarm, but I reassured him that given the state of me earlier, they would be looking for someone different.

thinking about snake plissken and iroquois plisken on skateboards playing basketball with the most serious looks on their faces because its a life or death situation and they have to get the most style as possible while scoring

[antimnemonic]

idk how to explain but snake is hotter in the plisken get up than the usual pin up outfit. like when you dress up a normal character in a fanservice outfit, the inverse also has a strange allure

What I watched this week (3/6-3/12 '23)

Perfect Blue (1997, dir. Satoshi Kon)

I'm not saying anything new when I say I loved what a mindfuck this movie is. Truly a masterpiece in keeping you glued to the narrative and second guessing your own interpretation of the film.

It's really hard to talk about this movie without getting into really big spoiler territory but I'll do my best to describe why this film is such a masterpiece. Beyond the striking visuals and the intense score, Perfect Blue tackles the psyche of fame in a way I've never seen done before. It gets it so perfect, from the jealousy, the self loathing, to the wide variety of opinions of the public it paints a compelling picture of how fame literally, and figuratively traps one in it's web. Much like Mima, I constantly found myself backtracking and second guessing the films narrative, and ultimately the payoff left me with just the right amount of unanswered questions. I can't wait to re-watch and pick up on anything I may have missed.

5/5

Fallen Angels (1995, dir. Wong Kar-wai)

This!!! movie!!! is!!! so!!! sweet!!!! It's a movie about weirdos falling in love made for weirdos. The plot is just a loose thread that holds this bundle of joy and light against the grimey city underbelly together in the bestest of ways. This movie is ultimately about its characters, and for having so many different arcs going on all it once, it manages to give each one the right ammount of time to shine and grab onto my mind enough to leave a mark.

The theme of love and lonlieness permeates and saturates this film through the dark, intimate aesthetics and the bloody over the top gunfights and it makes it something special - and one of my favroites.

5/5

Escape From New York (1981, dir. John Carpenter)

Watching this movie as a metal gear solid fan is a trip, and probably contributed to 90% of my enjoyment of it. I know I know everyone has said it, "Snake plisken! snake plisken!" but there's more to it than that. The pacing, the plot structure, the elements of sci-fi all of it was used as a base in MGS and it's so cool to see it in it's original form!

Metal Gear references aside, Escape from New York is a solid sci fi action flick with good (albeit silly) worldbuilding and a solid, likeable cast of characters. I thought the movie lagged a little bit, but it made up for it in every other aspect - especially in it's action scenes.

4/5

Scream 3 + 4 (2000, 2011, dir. Wes Craven)

Oh scream, why does everyone love you? Honestly, am I just missing something with these movies? Is there some secret piece of knwoeldge I've glossed over? Or are people just stupid. I don't know. These movies are painfully boring and uninteresting people! The twists aren't fun, the gore is boring, the satire is blunt, and oh my god are the characters ever awful!

Look, I understand that looking for good characters in a Slasher is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, I understand that! But I'd forgive this movie if it didn't spend so much fucking time on them! I do not care about Sidney prescott. I do not care about Gale Weathers. I do not care about Dewey Riley. They are all fine as plot devices to keep the kills coming, but as these movies go on and on they become more and more about these people who I simply do not care about.

Scream 3: 1.5/5

Scream 4: 2/5

Scream + Scream 6 (2022, 20223 dir. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett)

Sadly, new directors couldn't fix this movie. They continue to perpetuate every flaw of the Craven films, and somehow manage to make them worse. The characters are just as flat, the movie is still way to long, and despite all the talk of "requels" , "elevated horror" and "reboots'' the satire continues to feel dated and overall blunt. I'm sorry, Scream franchise but saying something is a trope then doing it is neither funny or good satire.

I also personally find these two insulting as they try to knock sigh "whiney snowflake nerds with letterboxed" accounts down a peg for not enjoying.... shallow cashgrab franchise shlock? very strange angle for a satire to take but alright I guess. Also this film trys to tackle social media and. Just fails so horribly on it. At least 6 finally had some good kills.

Scream (2022): 0.5/5

Scream 6: 2/5

Better Call Saul S6 (2022, shrn.  Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. That is my emotions on the end of this show. OH MY GOD what a ride this series has been, did you know I actually started it to get some inspiration for a long abandonded fanfiction? because I did. And GOD am I ever glad I did because the payoff, the journey was incredible. I haven't been this nethralled by a TV show in perhaps ever. I was on the edge of my seat for the entirtiy of season 6, just waiting to see how it would all come crashing down and MY GOD did it ever.

It is so hard for me to be and speak normally about this show, in fact I don't think I could even if I tried so I'm just going to leave it at that. Until next week folks!

Hi Rhi! For your post about Higgs' new design, why do you include the Surgeon General from EFLA?

(It's probably my least favorite Carpenter film and haven't seen it in a while, so I'm not quite getting the connection tbh)

I was being a shit mostly 😂

Higgs's makeup almost looked "plastic" in certain scenes or fake. I don't know if it's cause of the current rendering or not, but that and the creepy way he carried himself when addressing Sam reminded me of the Surgeon General when he went about observing and commenting on Snake Pliskens appearance.

[cinnamnt]

it’s really sad you don’t get to play as snake for very long in sons of liberty but he’s hot as fuck as plisken so it evens out i think

[theeclectickoalastudent]

would you rather have this man or Snake Plisken as your side?

Kurt Russell as MacReady 01/??

[evilanddangerious]

I have got to find that image of solid snake as Iroquois Plisken with his giant fucking chin and his hand on Raiden's shoulder
