To be honest, thats how duff f e lt when things fell apart betwee  him and mandy.

I think axl saw steph and dylan as having the type of family that he didnt have and wanted to have a stable life with them....until the relationship went sour and doesnt excuse his behaviour.

Agreed. But again, that’s on him not her.

"Meegan doesn't mind to show all her teenage love to Slash, despite his nasty words about her on his book."

ive always wondered how slash feels about writing that stuff now.

Or more to the point, how she does 🤣

Yes, yes, yes, yes!!! 

I mixed up the sources but I remember the pictures and captions. I had them saved in my other IG account and now when I tried to retrieve them, they're not there anymore.... or maybe I don't even know which folder I put them , it's been sooooo long since I have checked anything related to GN'R, but yes, there was one pic where she's like totally naked  and he is behind her... lol... it's impossible those two didn't have sex at all.

Steph was a bomb and free-minded woman, that's why the misogynists and conservative women dislike her. She did as she pleased, like we all should do. It's hard for me to see how she damaged Axl so badly, when he was the one who physically hurt her and obsessed over her for more than a decade 

-----

BTW, can someone explain to me what the poster in Susan's IG meant by "Axl you snooze you lose"? I don't understand the expression 

I’ve always believed Axl took the breakup so hard because he’d allowed himself to get so attached to Dylan and he thought having a family would ‘fix’ his past and mental health issues. But that’s on Axl, not Stephanie. 

‘You snooze you lose’ means you waited too long and missed out on something, it doesn’t fit the situation though.

No, its not that. I remember I saw it on IG.

He’s posted a bunch of stuff on IG (both captions and pics) that suggest they knew each other intimately. He was known for “dating” his subjects back in the day and  he took the absolute hottest photos of her (her Playboy shoot and a bunch of others). There was one post of the two of them that he deleted after Axl fans started attacking him 🤣

Watched this last night. Still alternating between rage and despair.

Alien Resurrection (1997)

Don't know why I watched this really, having watched it when it first came out and finding it thoroughly awful. Probably not quite as bad as I remember - Sigourney Weaver's ''new'' Ripley is its saving grace - but the film gets lost in a plethora of hybrid monster workshop silliness. Thank god they didn't make a fifth one, set on Earth. 

I love Weaver’s performance and how stacked it is with classic 90s character actors...I actually remember liking it quite a bit until the spastic alien baby reveal and then...yeah no

As yet unmentioned:

70s: all the early Cronenberg and Argento gems, Patrick 

80s: Videodrome, Scanners, My Bloody Valentine, Sleepaway Camp (the sequels are all varying degrees of entertaining too), Hellraiser, Near Dark, Martin, The Stepfather, Basket Case

90s: Candyman, Shocker, Cronos, Audition, Body Bags, Demon Knight 

00s: Gingersnaps,  Let the Right One In, The Descent, May

10s: Stage Fright (it’s a Canadian slasher pic set at a musical theatre camp which is arguably the greatest film premise of all time, delightful and sadly under-seen), Cabin in the Woods, It Follows, Hounds Of Love, You’re Next

Can't fuckin' stand em to be honest   Well, can't stand is a strong term, I'd probably be alright with em if I had ever been around em much but, ugh, I dunno, they're great big stinky fuckers than shit all over the places, yeah, not much of an animal person really.  And they don't seem to like me either   They're a lot of work too, looking after em and all that. 

Yeah, polar opposite but I still eat meat/dairy. It’s the only thing I ignore my conscience on. I suck.

Yeah but I'm a cunt, I'm not a yardstick for decency   I completely understand and agree with the principles of veganism, I think its absolutely the correct thing to do morally, I just don't do it.

that makes you less hypocritical than me and most other people as you’re not an animal person, IIRC?

13 minutes ago, Len Cnut said:

This stuff is really hilairious, the idea of 'humane slaughter', its an oxymoron, there is no such thing as humane slaughter, the humane thing to do is to not eat meat but once you're eating it you can't really take a moral high ground based on the fact that you're stunning the animal first, it actually lives longer when you stun it first so the odds are its more likely to feel pain whilst its alive than if you slit the carotid artery and drain the blood from its brain in a couple of heartbeats. 

The whole thing is a joke though, 'humane slaughter'   Now vegans I got respect for, THATS humane. 

I’m not a vegetarian but I think this is fundamentally true. There’s a sliding scale of ugly options, some of which are worse than others (factory farming, the dog meat trade in Asian countries being the ugliest) but we’re kidding ourselves if we think our meat is humanely slaughtered or humanely treated before it’s slaughtered. Same goes with dairy (to which I am addicted), and I struggle with this every day.

Friday Night Lights.

I know, I know, it’s BELOVED but having zero interest in any kind of sportzball, I resisted for over a decade. As it turns out, I can admit when I’m wrong because it is truly something special.

The Salton Sea (2002) by D.J. Caruso

Cast: Val Kilmer, Vincent D'Onofrio, Peter Sarsgaard, Doug Hutchison, Anthony LaPaglia, Deborah Kara Unger, Glenn Plummer, Chandra West, Luis Guzman, Adam Goldberg, Danny Trejo

Cinematography: Amir Mokri

Music: Thomas Newman

 

Another criminally overlooked masterpiece. Brilliant acting, great story, beautifully filmed, flawless direction and music.

Like all the great movies, this one is not what it seems to be. There are many layers in this movie. Sure, it's about tweakers, but it's also about friendship, revenge, lost love. It's about looking for your place in the world. And it's fucking entertaining. And accurate.

 

Although any suggested violence against animals generally distresses me...the pigeon re-enactment of JFK’s assassination is...well...really fucking funny. 😳  

Final episode of Chernobyl cements it’s instant classic status. If anything comes along this year in either feature film or tv that rivals it I’ll be fucking shocked.

When They See Us - beautifully done.

Who knows, maybe one day, in the retirement home, warm pissbag strapped to my leg, I'll catch some re-run when I'm too fucked to get up and walk away, watch it and think to myself, if in fact the onset of dementia has left me capable, 'well whaddya know, ol' Angie was right'

You’ll do that about a bunch of things 🤣

I guess, maybe, I dunno.  Its not even about respect, it just makes it a little less interesting, for some reason.  Its not like I don't watch a shitload of shit that satirizes shit I admire, its just...I dunno, I might've watched it if it had been some kinda serialized Godfather level shit .  Perhaps your right, perhaps i do have some kind of peverse respect for it.  I just think that, a lot of that stuff, kinda works like fables, y'know?  It has a kind of rise and fall profoundness that is kinda grand and profound on a level that not a lot of stuff is or tries to be these days.  And to find out its just like, taking the piss kinda detracts from that. 

See, for me it’s exactly what made it more interesting 🤣 and that the actual family (the marriage and children, even if the children are dipshits) are given equal weight and screen time.

Infernal Affairs is class. Aside from some very good performances (that are NOT contributed by Jack Nicholson)...it’s pretty cringeworthy IMO

Better than The Roaring 20s, Public Enemy, Scarface, Little Ceasar, Once Upon a Time in America, The Departed, Mean Streets, Angels With Dirty Faces, King of New York,  Christ, I could go on all day.  On charisma alone Jimmy Cagney would blow most motherfuckers off the screen.  Whats that fuckin' Sterling Hayden movie directed by Kubrick?  i guess thats more of a heist movie. 

The Departed!? Seriously!? 🤣  everything is subjective but I don’t get the resistance if you love the genre so much, considering you know damn well how acclaimed it is. Although it’s personally my favorite in part because it’s so dedicated to taking the piss,.

Re Chernobyl, the hardest thing for me to deal with in this series was the dog shooting stuff (well, alongside the scenes of people abandoning their pets earlier on). Even though I understand it was ultimately humane and necessary. What this says about me...I don’t care.

Its OK, watchable but not really worth writing home about, I really love gangster movies so I watch them all across the quality spectrum and more often than not I enjoy em on some level, this one has a very made for TV feel about them.  Its alright though.

And yet (unless you’ve changed your tune over the last few years), you won’t engage with The Sopranos which is superior to everything the genre has to offer besides the first two Godfathers, The Bad Sleep Well and Goodfellas. 🙄

I've seen the first 3 now (the 4th isn't out yet) and this is probably one of the best things I've seen in a while. I love the atmosphere they've managed to create. It's unsettling and depressing. 

The incredibly oppressive atmosphere of despair and dread that they’ve made so compulsively riveting is quite an accomplishment. It’s just top tier.

The Perfection is highly enjoyable nutso horror.
