John Carpenter’s 1978 Halloween is arguably the best horror film of all time. What makes it such a great film? You start with a brilliantly simple concept by Irwin Yablans: A babysitter to be killed by the boogeyman on Halloween night. Then you add perhaps the greatest musical score in horror history by John Carpenter, outstanding cinematography by Dean Cundey, great dialogue and exquisite directing by John Carpenter, and excellent performances by Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence.
No better scene shows the genius of this movie than the final chase sequence. After noticing mysterious events at the house across the street where her friends are having sex, our virginal heroine Laurie Strode (Jaime Lee Curtis) enters the house and goes into the upstairs bedroom.
The scene where the heroine in the slasher film discovers the bodies has been ripped-off so many times that it’s easy to forget how brilliantly it’s done in Carpenter’s classic. First we get a ringing music as she sees her friend Annie lying on the bed with a grave stone behind her head. Then we get Carpenter’s haunting piano music as classmate Bob’s body pops out swinging upside down, and finally, friend Linda’s body in the closet. As Laurie screams and sobs, we see the killer’s masked face slowly emerge behind her.
The suspense is unbearable as Laurie falls over the railings hurting her knee and the killer rushes down the stairs. The suspense is again unbearable as Laurie locks herself in a room and tries to escape the house. Just as the killer punches through the door and enters, Laurie grabs a rake used to lock her in and moves it to open the door. The scene is beautifully lit in dark blue as the camera zooms in on her ass as she stumbles into the yard just in the nick of time, for the first time sexualizing the character.
Nobody in horror history screams better than Jamie Lee Curtis’s Laurie Strode:
OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!
FEEL FREE TO HELP ME!!!!
OH GOD!!!!
OH JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
My favorite part is when she runs to a neighbor’s house screaming for help. They turn on the lights. She screams for help. They turn off the lights thinking it’s a Halloween prank.
Th irony of Laurie Strode, straight A student perfect girl next door virgin teacher’s pet, spent her whole life being good and wholesome, and yet in her time of need, dismissed as some juvenile delinquent.
She runs back to the house where she is babysitting only to discover the kids are too asleep to here her banging on the front door. But she cleverly adapts by throwing a potted plant to their bedroom window and we see the boy wake up and lazily walk downstairs to let her in. This creates unbearable suspense because the killer is briskly walking across the street towards her.
Why John Carpenter’s Halloween is considered a masterpiece by no one.\\\\

Innovation is designed primarily by people who know the bigger picture of things and understand something is missing from the equation of how society operates.
there are some people who strive to make society more adapted to living a less convoluted life by giving them access to their new innovation. oftentimes this requires an enhanced view of how reality would exist if things are to progress forward with the innovators innovation.
a strong intuition is the most important feature for this through simulating scenarios in ones head that the person thinks is most adapted to being real and functional for how the future will end up transpiring.
this can be done in order to discover things as well or for more practical purposes like understanding anothers motives or actions.
usually it is done through logic in action where you follow a series of patterns and then interpret which one is most likely to happen based on the first few sequences.
in this way i think life imitates an IQ test where the next sequence needs to be appropriately predicted to get the right answer.
The cry for help falling on deaf ears is honestly so terrifying. The opening of Scream is a cool example of this, as is this scene from Stranger Things:
Honestly one of the greatest scenes in history. The juxtaposition of the exquisite Nancy’s experiencing the ultimate pleasure and her homely friend’s gruesome demise in a bleak alternate dimension is incredibly unjust, twisted, and dark. So close yet so far away..
Have you seen Ex Machina, PP? Outstanding movie.
No, but I just checked out the trailer and it looks very good. I’ll add it to my must see list:
The cry for help falling on deaf ears is honestly so terrifying.
That’s the basis for my avi I realize. Tryna warn you, PP. You literally speak Deutsche. Be on your guard.
Ex Machina is very good.
does musk prove the randloards don’t need the rand?
40% of all the gold ever mined is from the rand.
Musk announced that he is willing to end world hunger if hes given a plan to do it by the UN lol.
it should be obvious to non-autists at this point that musk has more in common with trump than with henry ford. at one time he was a technical person. now he’s just a promoter.
recall melo said, “i hate musk but he delivers.”
delivers what?
delivers a stock bubble?
what WILL happen:
toyota and VW and everyone else will make all electric vehicles which are cheaper and more reliable than tesla’s.
tesla will go back to being a boutique brand.
and then it will just go bankrupt.
but this could take years.
Musk isn’t stupid. He will take the bubble money now and invest it in other ventures under the Tesla umbrella like batteries and solar panels. Basically the market is enthralled with his genius and what he might do next.
I trust Musk with the billions more than Bill Gates. Musk is from South Africa and he knows what happened there so the chances of him donating money to the blacks is zero.
he can’t take the bubble money RETARD!
as soon as he starts selling in earnest the price collapses.
i’m the CEO and i’m selling all my stock. you should keep buying it. — pill has autism
You don’t understand corporate finance. Tesla have been raising money from the bubble idiot. Who do you think buys fresh equity and debt? Who is lending to them? Who is ordering their cars? Go back to school.
i said exactly the same thing months ago RETARD! i didn’t see that you had merely quoted me. i thought you were saying musk would take his money and run.
AND selling new stock is the same as musk selling his own stock. shareholders don’t like it, unless they’re RETARDED.
YOU don’t be like unnuhstanin corporate finance n sheeeit.
IN PARTICULAR RETARD: TSLA is worth 1.2t. how much has musk raised in selling shares since june 2020? (he’s paid down 7b in debt ttm.)
answer: about 5b. look at the statements of cashflows. he raised about 7b in the first 2 quarters of 2020.
what % of 1.2t is 12b?
answer: 1%
YOU don’t be like unnuhstanin corporate finance n sheeeit.
i’m sick of pill’s severe autism.
Leave pill alone. He can’t help it.
“AND selling new stock is the same as musk selling his own stock. shareholders don’t like it, unless they’re RETARDED.”
Calm down youre wrong. Its ok to be wrong once in a while. Think about taxes.
IN PARTICULAR RETARD:…
The rest of the post is garbage and has nothing to do with what I said.
additional economic reasons: mining is polluting and environment destroying so lots of “compliance expense” + mining is dangerous and in the middle of nowhere so high labor costs + volatility of metals/ore prices.
PP, I heard that the original halloween movie was copied from a Ugandan movie released a few years before it. Is it true?
No it was copied from Black Christmas.
that’s why peepee likes it.
remember: ne asian supremacism isn’t racism only white supremacism is racism. — peepee
there is no correct answer to the meaning of life Mug. only thing we can offer you is that life has many options and what suits you suits you.
philosophy is judged by the abstract but there are so many layers and some people are on different levels that it can be hard to understand what is right and what is wrong between what is happening and what is not.
its fascinating that the your understanding of the world will always be incomplete and what you determine to be true is based on your personal preferences. for example i can believe that something is right like executing a violent offender but that is from only my perspective that a violent crime will not be repeated by the offender. if i were to dwell on this belief further i might start to hypothesize a reason not to kill him like his ability to educate others on why killing is bad which is a gamble in and of itself since it might never happen.
everything is arbitrary unless there is a hardcoded right and wrong and we have established the guidelines for how to bring about the outcomes we want. but that may be a topic that i might need to think about more to get the grander idea forward.
I LOVE ABBA’s new song, Don’t shut me down.

Pepe, if you had $300,000,000,000, what would you do with it?
I’d keep a flat five billion for personal use, donate 45 billion to political causes I support, then liquidate the rest, buy some Fortune 500 compan(y/ies), and make a bunch of workers happy by upping their pay and putting them on the nicest healthcare plan anywhere.
end world poverty
I would buy Forbes magazine and hire hundreds of extra reporters to make sure the Forbes list was as accurate as possible (with the exception of me being kept off the list). I would buy the rights to the Halloween franchise, I would buy Fox news and slowly replace most of the reporters. I would buy a mansion next door to Oprah’s California home, I would get a private jet, and I would spend billions of dollars on IQ and genetic research.
Good
I found out today that I’m descended from a Native American Indian (what you Canadians would call First Nations) tribal chief. I know a lot of people believe similar things without evidence, but I have documentation from my grandmother and a DNA test to back it up
PP, If god grants you a wish that you can get 200 IQ or 200 billion dollars, which one would you take?

the asnwer to mugabe’s IQ test question is:
the metaphorical equivalent of R&D expense for a manufacturing co is exploration expense for a mining co.
unlike R&D however, exploration expense can be capitalized apparently. this is odd because so called E&E (explorations and evaluation) is just as risky as R&D. maybe R&D can be capitalized in some countries? advertising and selling expense can be capitalized under some circumstances. why not R&D?
An entity may have a past practice of deferring all exploration and evaluation expenditure as an asset even if the outcome is highly uncertain. Other entities may have a past practice of expensing all exploration and evaluation expenditure until the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource have been established.
An entity can change its accounting policy for E&E only if the change results in an accounting policy that is closer to the principles of the Framework.
of the big so-called “tech cos” only AMZN will last, unless it’s replaced by another AMZN.
GOOG, AAPL, MSFT, FB are souffles.
AMZN will change the world. because…it can actually be more efficient to have your shopping done for you. even food. think of a grocery store where lists are delivered and the food is placed on the front porch. the sticky point is you have to be there for the delivery or have a fridge on your front porch. but in general…each household driving to the store and back and looking for what it wants…much more time consuming than having robots pick the groceries and one truck deliver on a route.
Its impossible to tell because the management might invest in a totally new business area that ends up being the main business. Amazon’s main business is now actually its cloud computing division.
If you look at a list of the biggest corporations in 1960, I think I remember seeing that 8/10 or something thereabouts don’t exist anymore.
NE Asians are more neurotic more close-minded less imaginative etc. in a way that stalls success. Indians are likely similar to this except they have a less systematizing (autistic) mind so they can think in a less programmed way.
NE Asians are very programmable always easily influenced by the values that have been around also categorized as traditionalism. Asians lack flexibility and will get stuck on things that are new to them either on a macro or micro level which is very hard to overcome because it gives a complete roadblock in understanding novel things.
creativity is mostly driven by risk-taking and openness which can be defined as novelty-seeking and curiosity. it can also be attributed to empathy and not being contented by things easily since that is what drives people to want to learn more.
East Asians lack a lot of these qualities therefore their innovativeness can come from superficial ideas that are not hard to think about. of course there are many varieties of people within a race therefore some might carry a large share of the burden might be carried by a small percentage of the population.
If I was as rich as Musk I would fund a movement to get money out of politics. The government would then fix the rest of the country’s problems within a decade.
More likely a bunch of billionaires would pay some women to accuse you of raping them and you’d end up in jail.
I bet you would hire a million gay prostitutes if you were rich like Musk.
How else are we gona get you laid Pill?
TSLA’s price is fair only if it becomes the BA of cars.
but the “economics” of cars VS airplanes means this is impossible.
Musk Robot
so at a kind of savage level people don’t think of all the time it takes them to drive to and from the store and all the time it takes them to shop…at most they might just say, “i hate shopping.”
BUT…from a world controller/GOSPLAN POV…
AMZN will keep on keeping on or be replaced by SHOP…
unless WMT makes a berserker decision.
the world’s largest super computer is in bentonville AK, or was until recently.
and those country boys are the meanest mofos on the planet.

You mean Bentonville, AR (Arkansas). AK is Alaska
AK is Animekitty

the ONLY economic reason why a bean counter CEO is better than an engineer CEO is if the engineers have autism and just wanna make “tricked out” bullshit like the delorean.
AND…
making the cheapest most reliable, point A to point B…
this requires engineering.
so it’s kind of a shitty society which shunts all of its non-autists away from engineering.
Pretty car
what may be a good fit for today is not necessarily a good fit for tomorrow. this car may be the right fit for today but tomorrows unpredictability may change that.
believing a race is superior to another based on one non-quantifiable trait or another is just preposterous. Peep why do you think its normal (non-autistic) to believe in a genetically superior race when youre only looking at a small number of qualities that will not necessarily yield any significance to determining a race’s success.
even if we were to say a race is superior why would you put East Asians at the top? firstly they have contributed very little to civilizational success although much of that can be attributed to whites stealing or to bad circumstances etc.
however even if we looked beyond contributions what inclines someone to say this race is superior or not when there are large contributions being made by a very quantifiably small minority of people!
ethnic genetic interests have always bothered me since i feel detached from my own race. i dont believe people should aid people with similar appearance since in a hundred years if we turned into cyborgs appearances etc. would be obsolete. but ideologies are always important! similar interests that appear first and foremost and are not a result of something that create superficial commonalities are important!
ironically i have animosities towards races of course but that is because they seem to have a very close-minded strong culture where people act identically to one another without individuality or are very ethnocentric themselves and thus limit how they treat people.
i admire individualism. i think people should be able to think independently from people whom they associate with. this leads to higher sentience in many aspects of life.
i do not like east asian or indian cultures at all really and i think they promote close-mindedness to a numbing degree where they fail to appreciate the value of an individual and give security to those who conform. anti-conformity is necessary to feeling human since its true of all living beings that those who limit conformity to only necessary aspects of survival end up thriving.
a good example is bacterium who evade being destroyed by antibiotics or other things by mutating. being unique is valued by evolution since thats the most efficient way evolution would further itself!
Personality influences IQ.
Personality is a change in “velocity” in a scientific sense given the individual.
motion effectively is personality
momentum
so given we move and change direction differently then intelligence moves with it.
we become the symmetry of the intelligence in motion. a moving target. general relativity.
Intelligence is not one thing, it is multidimensional. it moves with the self.
different races have different personalities so have different IQ momentum symmetry.
so you agree? that i have the best personality with an optimum IQ. thanks Anime!
i was wondering when you would profess your love for me and give me your life savings though that was the main point of my posts. ❤
im the only non autist here. left in this world. everyone is an autist and there are various degrees of it but this blog encapsulates how NT (neurotypical) I am and how pervasive autism is for everyone else.
