  • I went to a screening of John Dies at the End in 2012 and met Don Coscarelli afterwards. He was standing off to the side chatting with someone who appeared to be a friend of his.

    I’d brought my DVD of Bubba Ho-Tep and asked him to autograph it. He looked at me for a couple of seconds, turned to his friend, and said “Can you believe that it’s been 10 years, and people still like this movie?” We all laughed and he was happy to sign it. Very cool guy.








  • Ok, fuck them. But shutting down this nonprofit organization doesn’t directly affect their bottom line. It may eventually have an indirect effect.

    My point is that by shutting down, the only obvious direct effect is that advertisements are now more likely to appear adjacent to bullshit hate propaganda. This doesn’t substantially hurt the advertisers in a large way - it hurts people more because it elevates the visibility of hate speech. Why would you think that’s good? This does absolutely fuck all to stop advertising or advertisers.

    Except there is much more “truth” in nonverbal communication. It’s much easier to “lie” with words than it is with body language.

    Most people don’t really even make an effort to control their presentation when communicating, except in the sense that they may try to control their emotions.
