An expansion to the original that plays much the same, though you play a different character. Not bad so far.
Try to make it to HALF-LIFE 2 someday. It's terrific overall but its best level/chapter is horror-centric... titled "We Don't Go To Ravenholm". It's pretty famous and lives up to its reputation. There are also a ton of HALF-LIFE mods - some good, some less good, and a lot of them horror-themed.
That's the plan, to do the whole series in order. Playing about a half-hour per month, though, it will likely be a while.

Television / Re: What TV Shows Are you Watc...
Last post by M.10rda - March 03, 2026, 09:34:35 AMI've now seen enough MAD MEN to agree that it is of quality while remaining confident that it belongs to a more traditional era of nominally "serialized" drama that I just find less compelling than, say, TWIN PEAKS or GAME OF THRONES. Each episode is relatively self-contained/could stand on its own or be any viewer's first episode and they would catch up quickly/not be particularly lost - which was a necessity in network/prime time TV (and it was ultimately considered to the detriment of TWIN PEAKS S1/S2 that viewers couldn't catch up in media res). On MAD MEN, conflicts begin during the episode and are generally/reasonably resolved by the end of the same episode. This makes it easy to pick up but also easy to put down. Of course, character arcs and larger conflicts develop over many episodes and seasons and do end up paying off big - I thought the season finale to Season 3 was extremely satisfying.
It occurred to me that MAD MEN was maybe a highly sophisticated embellishment on the traditional soap opera - most of the conflicts are relationship-driven. But "Dallas" and "Dynasty" and "Falcon Crest" always had shock-twists and cliffhangers and suspense/thriller subplots - to say nothing of the daytime dramas of the 80s that were rife w/ espionage, serial killers, and demonic possession - and "Mad Men" is just a lot of office drama and romantic dysfunction. It's more insightful and sensitive than all those other shows - but for me it's less compelling.
David Lynch, however, was a huge fan. All the early 60s fashion and hairstyles and decor really tickled him, and reportedly he talked about Don and Betty Draper as if they were real people he knew. There's a running gag through the show about a John Deere riding lawn mower that feels close to the Lynch ethos.

"It's also called a type of cancer that's 'treatable,' not 'curable.' I apologize if that's a shock—it was to me too."

I've seen the movie listed as a horror/thriller or erotic horror but really it's just softcore porn. The movie is 60 minutes long and has six sex scenes, one of them feeling like it goes on for ten minutes.
The plot is barely there and calling the characters one-note gives them credit for about half a note too much.
The idea is that three almost completely interchangeable men, and a woman go to a lake where men have been reported missing to film an episode for their show. The show is supposed to be one of those investigate the unknown type things where they look for ghosts and aliens and stuff like that. However, the show is called "Minishirt Adventures" and seems more interested in looking up the female cast members skirt than anything.
Oh, and she does not want to be there. She really really does not want to be there.
Mysterious lady has sex with one of the guys and he dies horribly. They all run, escape back to civilization and keep going on with the show when she appears to the two men seperatly.
There's one scene where the girl cast members is in her underwear singing karaoke in their hotel room, when mysterious woman appears to him and they start making out. When he opens his eyes he realizes that he's actually been making out with his girlfriend and not ghost girl and he freaks out, saying "You're not her!" and bashes her face in before drowning her in a tub.
Then both men go back to the house in the woods, each one has sex with the girl (one at a time mind you) and they die, but only after she reveals she has to drain men's life essence and sperm to live.
It's really not much of a movie. The girl ghost girl herself is really attractive and takes her clothes off alot, but the sex itself really isn't that erotic or anything.

Colin Hanks (Tom's son) directed this documentary about the life and career of the late John Candy, the Canadian comic actor who took Hollywood by storm in the 80s. Clips from his film catalog and commentary from co-stars like Dan Aykroyd, Tom Hanks, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Macaulay Culkin, and many more paint a portrait of a well loved guy who unfortunately struggled with anxiety off screen. A touching trip down memory lane.
