And oh YES looking forward and praying to the Old Ones of all possible universes, that he will do Lovecraft justice!

You are gonna hate me now, but I grew up reading Dean Koontz and Stephen King years before the librarian at my middle suggested Lovecraft, so 12? My first Stephen King was Night Shift, with the eye in the middle of a mummified hand; Jerusalem's Lot ruined my ability to sleep. For some strange reason Lovecraft comforted me but King disturbed me lol -- My first Lovecraft reading was The Festival.
Anyway, it's my mom's fault, i jus read whatever she had lying around the house, which also included Mary Higgins Clark, Robert Ludlum, Danielle Steel, Michael Crichton, and who even knows what else.
Totally agree in having absorbed the material rather than fully understood. I mean shit, how does a 4th grader even under The Rising Sun? It's just shocking and strange. Like d3coding a new language.
I also read a lot of young adult thriller suspense books, notably Alfred Hitchcock's young readers books and short story collections. Ray Bradbury collections, random Asimov Foundation books, and old copies of Analog, that my dad would buy from local library sales. (Thas how poor people shop for books hahaha) He was the old school scifi guy, but not at all into horror.
I suppose I don't mind hacks. Reading the letters of Oscar Wilde changed my opinions on EVERYTHING. If Wilde belongs to the criminal class or what Danny Devito's character Frank terms the "Fringe" class, there must be some saving grace even in the intellectual crime of the hack writer.
that was awesome.
i hope del toro gets to make "mountains of madness",because i love the imagery he used in hellboy,which was VERY lovecraftian.
i stumbled upon lovecraft from my dad,and by accident.
my dad had a ton of the those sci-fi,horror pulp magazines from the 40's and 50's in the basement.
i think i was around 9 or 10 and my dad had given me the job of clearing out the basement,because he was going to remodel it..and i remember coming across this old,and dusty cardboard box filled with those books.
i spent the entire afternoon reading..and reading..and reading.
and it was lovecraft that i fell in love with,although at my young age he was not an easy read.you have to absorb lovecraft rather than actually read him.
this was the weekend i also discovered isaac asimov,ray bradbury,fred saberhagen and jack l chalker.
so i fell in love with lovecraft before stephen king.
and then my big sister tried to introduce me to dean r koontz.
and well..fuck dean r koontz,fucking hack and plagiarist.
seriously..fuck dean r koontz.

Naw, those people you're thinking of -- more like Arnie Grape.
Reminds me of a lot of people I know.
When your favorite party member dies permanently
That's why you unequip them BEFORE the battle -- or during the battle, if whatever game it is allows you to unequip as a move. I suppose if it's Aerith though, you have like special armor only for her... Actually, it's been ~20 years since I played that so I don't remember the equipment system in FF7. Materia and junk. Breeding chocobos. Quadra+Ultima+W-Magic.
Japanese Pool Player Gives Great Interview
You must be the master baiter. I have no idea what you're going on about. Videosift isn't just a bunch of ignorant white people, I hope you realize that. lol
Mmmm.... bait....bait.....why do some people love baiting other people....oh, wait....i think it has something to do with the other kind of 'bating...also, I've been coming to this website everyday since wimp.com used to be just a grey page and yourdailymedia was still a thing sooooo for those who have obtained some sort of valuable information by hovering over my name you can go bake yourself a pie. And perhaps explain to a poor mute fool like me how to add a url to a post without it being dedacted like an idiot.

The devil inspires me and yet I ALSO enjoy radishes. Just saying.
This "Bearcat'" Smells Like Popcorn
Well, Newtboy doesn't look like a newt or a boy, so what's your point?
Lady, your idea of a cat's face, and my idea of a cat's face, differ.
Family Feud In 3 Minutes
Grandmas. The number one answer!
How is this show still on?
once upon a time in the west-henry fonda is evil
Henry Fonda is awesome, but so is Charles Bronson. Fuck yes the Once Upon A Time trilogy -- the ending to Once Upon in America puzzles me though.
This is my personal favorite of Leone's films, but Dollars trilogy is his best work. Da man wif no name.

Asperger's Man Hijacks 100+ Trains/Busses, Arrested 32 Times
Why are correctional facilities so DUMB? I know it's not right to steal and I've never had a problem with theft myself, but damn I don't agree that he even "stole" the train -- if he was stealing he would have the train off the rails.
No, he provides a service, even if it's a vigilante train service. I'm not saying it's right what he does but certainly law enforcement's response and punishment is WRONG. This shouldn't even be considered theft, it should be under a different categorization.
Traditional responses to human behavior are simply incorrect and unscientific, so despite the law, justice is not served. They're taking advantage of an autistic person -- and they profit from his behavior.
Law enforcement and corrections in America need an overhaul.
