The Masque of the Red Death (1964)

에드거 앨런 포 원작인데...내가 원작 소설을 아직 안 읽었어.

빈센트 프라이스가 여기서 정말 (순화해서 말하자면) 재수없는 왕자로 나옴. 내용은... 한번쯤은 볼만한 영화였다. 적어도 지루하진 않았음... 60년 전 영화라 그런지 영화 자체 조명이 굉장히 밝고 색감도 쨍함. 죽음의 무도 시퀀스가 가장 인상 깊었다. 그리고 붉은 죽음 목소리가 좋음...

Untitled Goose game but your tasks are all from Edgar Allan Poe stories. Brick an oblivious man into a wall. Bury this mutilated corpse in the floorboards. Break into a gala and kill everyone with the plague

On April 25, 1987, The Masque of the Red Death was screened on The World Beyond.

I think we don't talk about the Masque of the Red Death enough with Jason. This figure, back from the dead, walking among those who revel in life while innocents die, bringing poetic justice. An equalizer to those who think themselves above the deaths they're responsible for, a grim reminder to those who tried to shut his phantom out of their lives.

Yeah.

Anyway, remember the other day when swimming was canceled because a mysterious and as-always-unspecified contamination issue? Well, turns out:

It was vomit

The vomiter said they'd clean the pool

They have not, two days later

And apparently no one followed up on the status of the pool vomit?

No one knew about this ahead of class

So once again, drove there, found out class was canceled, and turned around

This means, the same vomit canceled both workouts this week

Can not emphasize enough: Two Day Old Vomit

Like, Jesus Christ, we get that no one wants to clean vomit out of the pool, but someone's gotta, you know? Did they think no one would notice? What the actual fuck?

Moving on, though still deeply annoyed and grossed out, to movie time.

Did you know: rich people are terrible. I mean, that's what the story is about, not just generally. We all know that.
