Fido

This man is celebrating his third booster shot for COVID.

Time to show some respect for Canada again. They make some awesome films. And as of the last two weeks they proved they got big balls too. Keep it up, Canadian truckers!

Looking back at the archives, I have done hopping Chinese vampires, demonic possessions, werewolves, undead beavers and close but no cigar on just plain old zombies. This must be rectified! So today you get a straight-up zombie film!
This movie came out in 2006 and almost immediately went underground. For those of you who haven’t seen this film, it is set in a 1950’s style world where radiation has caused the dead to rise from their graves. A collar has been developed to make the zombies passive and useful for menial chores, house pets, and even… sex toys. But do the zombies really need the collar? Or just some respect?
The director and writer of this film is Andrew Currie. He had done some TV movies prior to this and thriller called Mile Zero. This was his first attempt at something really different. I’d have to say it is a little underrated on IMDB at 6.7/10. This was a big effort. If I was going to say one thing about the marketing, it would be that the shot of Billy Connelly as the zombie on the front cover gave off a straight horror vibe and people were thrown off by the happy colorful 50’s vibe and comedic touches within the actual movie. This film cost $8 million to make and didn’t gross jack squat. Barely one million in the theaters. Painful! Andrew went back to making straight up thriller films again with Barricade in 2012 and has not looked back at the horror/comedy genre. It’s a shame, because this is a very well done film, it’s enjoyable and it even got an 72% on Rotten Tomatoes. But it just couldn’t get distributed in theaters. Like so many other good films, it got a second life on DVD. Give this movie a chance!

So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Next week, we have Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death. Young Bill Maher! Adrienne Barbeau! Amazons in bikinis!

I actually have this on DVD. Some time back I was looking for Earth Girls Are Easy on DVD, and found a box set with it. Fido is one of the other movies in the set, although I haven’t watched it yet. One in the set that I have watched is Blood Diner, which is terrible, but in a spectacularly entertaining way.
- R.J. on February 17, 2022 at 8:22 pm
  
  That sounds like an interesting box set.

  I do like the assertions that peaceful protests that have harmed no one are examples of “extremism.”
  
  And I’d argue the complete and utter overreach of the branch covididans calls for a pretty fucking extreme reaction, regardless. Far more than, say, the killing of George Floyd did.

CPRM on February 17, 2022 at 8:42 pm

Watched this years ago, probably shortly after it came out on DVD. It’s hard to find decent indie films anymore. Not because they aren’t out there, but because streaming services make it so hard to judge what is watchable and what isn’t. I could wander around the video store for hours each week and walk out with 10 movies that were mostly enjoyable. Now I scroll through 3-4 streaming services for hours and don’t find anything to pique my interest. Another thing I miss from the physical media days are the trailers. The trailers on most DVDs were for similar films that you may never had heard of. Now all there is are youtube trailer channels that throw every trailer for every big budget movie at you, or just every fucking trailer and it becomes difficult to filter.

    Everything internet is ‘The Cloud’ now. So isn’t that exactly what I’m doing?
- R.J. on February 17, 2022 at 8:47 pm
  
  Agree on all points. Because I have no life, I filter for you here, at least. And I also miss trailers. I don’t even read magazines anymore to get exposure.

https://theunpopulist.substack.com/p/why-populism-deserves-its-bad-rap?utm_source=url

Shitsia’s definition of populism raises some questions:

One big difference is that a popular uprising is a resistance movement against an illicit power that is ruling in explicit violation of the will of those it governs. Populist movements, on the other hand, are aimed at a domestic “establishment” which was formed with the consent of the people but overtime has become corrupt — genuinely or allegedly.

Gandhi’s Quit India movement targeted a small — and alien — ruling power denying self-rule (and franchise) to an entire people. Some separatist movements, such as the one in Catalonia in Spain or the Kurds in Turkey and Iraq, are dubbed populist uprisings. Regardless of what one thinks of the justice of their demands, they are, however, more in the vein of anti-colonial struggles like Quit India given that they are directed against an “enemy without.”

Populist movements, by contrast, are a pathology specifically of established democracies where the people already have self-rule. However, the dominant majority feels that this rule no longer works for it because the establishment in control no longer cares for its wishes, or, worse is actively hostile to them. So these movements are oriented against the “enemy within.” For example, Modi’s populist nationalism is directed against a secular elite that regards the majority Hindu population’s desire for a homogeneously Hindu India as anathema.

Not mention the classical liberals constantly railed about and othered the aristocracy who in many cases were the “domestic establishment”.
- Don escaped Texas on February 17, 2022 at 9:04 pm
  
  I probably have an elite view of populism that doesn’t agree with the definition. For me, a child of very poor and uneducated people, populism is the proletarian mob’s impulse to satisfy an immediate desire without any rationalism using first principles, little care for the consequences, and a complete disregard for holes and inconsistencies in their arguments….vulnerable, weak, mad, too unread to even argue their own case.

      That wasn’t about the animation, that was about building the animation models, but thank you. Animating is really easy once I have all the assets worked out, thanks to the software the pre-patreon Glibs helped me purchase. Spent about 2 hrs this morning just working out how to animate one of the gags for this next cartoon, because usually I don’t do anything special for the animation just use the automation.

Enjoying a video game until I had an epic rage-quit.

I’m too old for this shit. I don’t have the time or the patience to repeat sequences over and over.

As someone who has briefly dabbled in their construction, I know full well that the point is to frustrate the player but FFS have some pity.
- CPRM on February 17, 2022 at 9:06 pm
  
  What I hate is when I get frustrated after hours, look up walkthrough instructions and it’s exactly what I’ve been doing for hours, but somehow it works after looking up the walkthrough. WTF!?!

  Soon a member of staff came to warn me that I had failed to pull my mask up fast enough after my most recent swig of beer. As the show began, someone with a name badge saying “Libby” came over and told off another member of our group for failing to bring their mask up swiftly enough after sipping another of the overpriced drinks the Lyric Theatre had just sold us.
  - Gender Traitor on February 17, 2022 at 10:15 pm
    
    The only moment of relief came at the show’s climax when the dark lord Voldemort appeared on stage. Very scary. High tension. Some cowering from the younger members of the audience. Eventually, the Dark Lord came down off the stage and made his way scarily through the center of the audience. “He’s going to tell us to pull our masks up,” said some wag.

    Inside the Lyric Theatre, they had tried to recreate the atmosphere of an English boarding school. As a survivor of such an establishment, I can tell you they did a grand job emulating the most sadistic aspects of such institutions.

    People who attend Broadway shows in these conditions are cucks. They have no self-respect. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever. And that includes Jordan Peterson. I never understood why he had any kind of following.
    
    By the time the interval came, one of my Canadian friends — Jordan Peterson — and I decided it might be a good idea to do that regrettable thing and ask to speak with the manager. We asked. At which point we were reintroduced to Libby. Libby was the manager, and explained that we were under suspicion because our group had already received three warnings for insufficiently speedy remasking after sips. Jordan and I both asked for further guidance on what exactly constituted permissible sip length.

I posted Critical Drinker’s take on LOR from Amazon.

TLDR — Don’t fuck with other people’s work.

Basing loosely on Tolkien’s work but not an actual book is smart. They get to use his universe but make it all woke and diverse.

JustSomeGuy has consistently put out excellent videos on this stuff….I guess he’s a bit more of a superfan when it comes to Tolkein. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36lviVvo-jw // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rCmGtMhreY

————–

Is there anything more worthless than a chaplain in the military? Maybe in actual combat they do good. When I served they were nothing more than worthless.

Really depends. My artillery unit had a Southern Baptist…of course, he got sanctioned by Big Chaplaincy/Army/etc for praying “In Jesus Name” during some services…. (Iraq 2005 – think he was interviewed for Stars and Stripes at some point). It all depends because they have to be recommended by their denomination first.

My last reserve unit actually had one too – although he “volunteered” for a mobilization to Djibouti or somewhere IIRC (needs of the Navy). His civilian job was as a chaplain at a VA hospital in Richmond so it was a pretty good fit. (He might have even been Greek Orthodox…can’t recall offhand).

Forgotten Weapons take on the new prototype Gauss rifle is pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAHKS0nVlL4

1. Mostly 3D printed
2. Multiple size rounds capable from a single weapon with virtually no modification
3. Multiple power/temp settings.

Very promising on the whole I’d say. The power conversion built into the unit is pretty effective, but I’m guessing you could do more with a belt/backpack unit too (but a lot of promise for an all-in-one).

      And honestly, has there ever been a coilgun that matched the performance of a railgun?
      
      Youtube used to have some videos of railguns with the capacitors stored in a car trunk that could deliver insane amounts of energy downrange.
      - UnCivilServant on February 18, 2022 at 6:56 am
        
        The biggest problem for me is the wearing parts in the mechanism. I forget how few shots it was (probably depends on power levels) but the rails on railguns need constant changing.

    Oh, yeah – and good morning, Sean, U (who’s probably driving right now,) and HE (who’s probably asleep now.)

      Naw, I finished driving, but I needed to eat breakfast. (I tend to do that at my desk for time management reasons)

        What was for breakfast?

Time to commute.

I can’t believe I used to do this daily. I guess I was used to it then.

Mornin’ GT, UCS, Sean and …

Crazy wind just picked up here. Will be enjoying my quarterly “mental wellness” day off today. We’ll still be crazy tomorrow despite the best efforts of management.
- UnCivilServant on February 18, 2022 at 6:13 am
  
  I wanted to take today off.
  
  Didn’t, because half the team already did.
- rhywun on February 18, 2022 at 6:15 am
  
  I’m giving myself one of those next weekend, the Monday after.
  
  I really need one.
- Gender Traitor on February 18, 2022 at 6:16 am
  
  Good morning, ‘patzie!

    - Trigger Hippie on February 18, 2022 at 6:32 am
      
      You gotta give Me Cooper about a year or so to sort through the mess before he can write up our story.
- Festus on February 18, 2022 at 6:31 am
  
  Yep. Great sleepy-time link. I wake every two hours so just go back to the last part that I remember. Drachinifel is pretty great for that reason, also. Nerd me up! I’m going in!
  - Trigger Hippie on February 18, 2022 at 6:34 am
    
    I’ll have to wait until after work to listen.
    
    And yes, as much as I’m facinated with these episodes they do tend to zonk me out.

        I get the feeling our already small community is slowly getting smaller. A lot of really interesting people have vanished over the last year or two, which is a damn shame.

Even if you had COVID, you need the jab.

https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2022/02/17/COVID-19-vaccination-reinfection/7821645118063/

That works out to about two reinfections per 100,000 among vaccinated patients compared to 10 per 100,000 among the unvaccinated.

Hard pass. I’m not concerned about a 1/10,000 chance of catching a bug.
- Festus on February 18, 2022 at 6:43 am
  
  That’s like the odds of swallowing a fly when I mow the lawn. Hard pass!
- UnCivilServant on February 18, 2022 at 6:44 am
  
  Even then, for most people, the risk from the bug isn’t enough to fret over.
  - Ghostpatzer on February 18, 2022 at 6:49 am
    
    Not sure about that. Most people seem to subscribe to the precautionary principle.
    - Festus on February 18, 2022 at 6:55 am
      
      Most people are imbeciles.

BEIJING (AP) — The gold medalist said she felt empty. The silver medalist pledged never to skate again. The favorite left in tears without saying a word.

After one of the most dramatic nights in their sport’s history, Russia’s trio of teenage figure skating stars each enter an uncertain future.

Wut?

  - trshmnstr the terrible on February 18, 2022 at 6:51 am
    
    Seriously though, figure skating is on the same level of child abuse as child pageants. Those girls are probably profoundly mentally broken because of the process of getting there.
    - Festus on February 18, 2022 at 6:56 am
