Feb. 5th, 2026 11:30 pmassimbyachthonictum_feedI don’t have a coherent thought about this yet, but I’ve been considering that concern which emerges in the later Vampire Chronicles novels about multi-generational vampire ‘lineage’/bloodline, which I’ve always struggled to make sense of; it feels so odd to me once we get outside of the immediate maker/fledgling attachment relationships.
The VC always seems to be caught in the tension between these two opposing narrative impulses - that of killing off the prior generation and leaving the central characters to navigate vampirism alone, and that of tracing lineages backwards, finding origin points. Often this tension is overtly thematized in Lestat or Claudia or Marius or c’s active search for ancestors and origin stories, but it also operates on a narrative level - Rice keeps killing off the prior generations and then bringing them back. In QotD we kill off all the vampires except these few! Except no, the rest of the series has to keep finding more and more previously unknown characters holding pockets of ancestral knowledge. The late ghost material is one of the bluntest and most overt manifestations of this - Lestat gets to fulfill his fantasy of reconciliation with Magnus! It’s wild.
I don’t know what to do with the larger bloodline stuff, but it’s clearly relevant within this paradigm. The series circles over and over this problem of the maker/fledgling relationship, offers all these possible solutions which fail in different directions. (Marius and Pandora’s joint turning of Viktor and Rose is a crazy example of a solution which I suppose is presented as working? It’s fascinating.) The bloodlines thing is in some ways consolation for irreparably fractured maker/fledgling relationships? But it’s also its own strangeness, and its implications make me uncomfortable.

Perfume: White Rabbit (strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen) - I tried at first this morning to wear the version of this one with white chocolate added, but founded it vividly unappealing, and switched back to the original
Reading: began rereading Tanith Lee, Silver Metal Lover. I had previously read this one only once, a number of years ago; it wasn’t my favorite Lee, and it has been one of the few to which I hadn’t yet returned since I began comprehensively going through her work in the last few years. I am appreciating it more on reread.
Watching: rewatched Xena 2.18 “Blind Faith.” Ugh. I’ll make it through this stretch.

Need help finding the name of this film🙏🏻
Feb. 6th, 2026 05:34 amallthingshorror_feedIt was a movie from either 1990 or 1991 I watched it on YouTube but I discovered it through letterboxd and I could have swear I left a review on it but I couldn't find anything. anyway this movie is about a scientist who fuses his DNA with a dinosaur DNA and he starts to change throughout the movie and I think the mafia (?) was chasing him or his rivals. he falls in love with a blonde woman. the ending I remember more clearly because it was so goofie and I laughed so hard basicaly the guy changed entirely to a dinosaur and he burst to a door to reveal his new body and the costume was so cheap it was hilarious. it was a b movie horror so it was bad and cheap. the main guy reminded me of Christian Bale for some reason lol. if you know what movie is this let me know please (:

Occult horror recommendations?
Feb. 6th, 2026 05:27 amallthingshorror_feedWhat are some of the best occult horror movies or games? Rather than folk occult movies like Midsommar and Wicker Man, lately, I've been in the mood for horror that feels more esoteric or has history in real belief systems like Hellraiser, Silent Hill, Nosferatu, The Witch, Autopsy of Jane Doe, or Hereditary.

Horror films that are closer to Kafka?
Feb. 6th, 2026 05:07 amallthingshorror_feedI know everybody's alllllll about Lovecraft. And I get it. Cosmic horror is bad ASS. But what about my man Kafka? To me, that's as terrifying as it gets. I was just reading the metamorphosis and that is, I think, just as horrifying as it gets. Surrounded by monsters who are slowly losing their ability to see you as a human being before you are discarded, leading to them fulfilling their wildest dreams. That is SICK. Fucking sick. And then I read the Vegetarian. Holy shit. That is scarier and sicker than anything I have ever read. I have been having really weird dreams lately because of that book. I love it.
And I know there are Kafkaesque movies...but horror? They always seem more "funny" to me than "scary", and I think Kafka is definitely scary. It's a nightmare! It's horrifying! It sticks with me and upsets me more than any other kind of horror. Oddly, maybe the closest horror movie to Kafka for me is Hereditary, just in how the events are just so outside the family's control. It's absurd. It's upsetting. It makes no sense as to why certain things happen, and all the family can do is just watch as they're turned upside down--reminds me of Gregor forced to listen from his door. Of course there's also Beau is Afraid, but to me, not really horror, more on the funny side. It's scary in order to make you laugh. Tim and Eric' Bedtime Stories are fucking great by the way, and genuinely pretty terrifying and upsetting in a real Kafka way. But anyways are there any others? If y'all can think of anything please let me know.

allthingshorror_feedI know how Francis Ford Coppola is going to fund his next movie: he's going to sue the shit out of Luc Besson.
Dracula may be a tale told a thousand times before but Besson is literally plagiarizing Coppola with his newest film. It's not just that they're both Dracula movies. The costumes, the visuals, a number of set pieces, even some of the dialogue is ripped straight from the 1992 movie.
Example: Old Dracula's entire design is credited as being conceived by Luc Besson himself but it is 100% original to Coppola's film. The hair, the clothes, the skin, everything, is all lifted from Eiko Ishioka's original 1992 designs. If you haven't seen either movie, trust me, it's a VERY distinctive look. There's no way he did this by accident.
Sure, the story itself is wildly different, but I'd argue that's only a positive thing if you are really hard up for horny vampire content. The gore is worse, the story beats are worse, the costumes and visuals are worse, and the climax is basically the attack on the castle from Beauty and the Beast with the gargoyles from the Hunchback of Notre Dame there for some reason.
And don't get me wrong. 1992 Dracula has flaws. The pacing is wack and Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves are terrible. But imo it's better than A Love Story in literally every single way that matters, and it's a fucking awesome movie in its own right.
Last note: Luc Besson is an accused serial rapist and actual pedophile. Probably don't see his movies anyway. Thank you.
Edit: it has come to my attention that Francis Ford Coppola is also a shithead who mentored and tried to defend Victor Salva, the Jeepers Creepes pedo.

Bystander Stops Jewelry Heist By Crashing Thieves' Getaway Car Into Jewelry Store

Joe Pesci
Feb. 6th, 2026 03:41 ammoviessubreddit_feedI just want to discuss Pesci's career. Pretty straightforward. I have a mild obsession because he was ubiquitous for about 8 years between the release of Goodfellas and Lethal Weapon 4, then he took that 12 year break before Love Ranch, then another 9 year break until he did the Irishman, then he got pulled out of retirement for random projects like Bupkis and Day of the Fight, etc.
He sold this house of his in, I think, New Jersey, a year or two ago and it was on public real estate web sites. I was fascinated by how early 90's it was. Everything in it was the height of luxury and state of the art entertainment from the early 90's, plus all his posters, etc. but it looked like he basically hadn't updated any of it from about 1994 on.
I sometimes wonder about a career like his, where he made his mark and then went away- what could have been, or maybe this was perfect and he decided he wasn't gonna get the kind of roles to maintain his legacy so he walked away basically on top?
Other actors who have done this have done it a bit more pretentiously, like Daniel Day-Lewis.
Also for all of Pesci's signature style as an actor, he truly has/had range that he rarely tapped into.
I also realize he made a TON of money in his heyday. He was getting paid like $3M+ per film in the early 90's, the modern equivalent of $7M per film today, which, if your lifestyle is simple enough, would certainly be enough to retire from day to day work. He'd made around $35M in early 90's money in about a 9 year span, which is like earning $80M-ish today.
Also did not realize he joined the Lethal Weapon franchise *before* Goodfellas!
Anyway.... what are your thoughts on his career?

More Constantine
Feb. 6th, 2026 03:38 ambeccaelizabethI watched both parts of Saint of Last Resort today.
Constantine is a compelling character and all the character stuff for him is fascinating, but this show is doing Not Great at the racism of, like where the evil comes from. ( Read more... )
John Constantine is the story's favourite chew toy.
I will be watching these again later to watch him get chewed on.
I am not however as impressed by the plot or how the story treats other characters.
Makes me want to write about what the Hellblazer in my head was about and how I feel like these evils are missing the mark, but I haven't read the comic for decades so the version in my head is likely to be somewhat tenuously extrapolated by now.
Still. Making me think plot bunnies.
Even if it is in reaction to.

snow sneakers
Feb. 5th, 2026 10:33 pmredbirdA few days ago, I ordered a pair of snow sneakers that I thought would probably be too big, because the places I looked online were sold out of everything in my size.
They arrived today, I tried them on after dinner, and they seem to fit. Adrian helped me adjust the fastening so the left shoe isn't too tight around my calf. They fasten with velcro rather than shoelaces, which may be an advantage: the laces on my shoes tend to loosen as I walk, so I have to stop and retie them moderately often. (Flat laces are a bit better than round ones, double-knotting makes no difference, and please don't try trouble-shooting this in comments.)
Apparently I take a men's size 8 extra-wide in LLBean boots, which may be useful: more shoes come in a men's size 8 than size 7, and the selection of wide shoes is larger in men's sizes/styles than in women's.
