I remember my gut reaction to watching that scene was “well that shield was USELESS” but I’m not sure if maybe it would of made a difference at all if Dunk didn’t freeze up at the start. I don’t know anything about jousting but I assume that the shield just got obliterated because Aerion had more speed and momentum.

In the best way possible. The vocals and the harmonies from Nightosphere remind me a lot of something that could be off of Camgirl by Crippling Alcoholism. Amazing record also on The Flenser if you haven’t checked it out already.

Assault on Precinct 13 but it’s set in a gold mine during the Gold Rush

Just thought of this idea after reading that the new movie Onslaught is very reminiscent of John Carpenter movies, specifically Assault on Precinct 13.

Something clicked in me when I realized that John Carpenter has a very unique and awesome way of making action movies feel like horror movies, which is something that I really want to explore.

This train of thought eventually landed on this story idea.

An action / thriller story about a group of miners who find themselves being besieged inside of a mine, set during the Gold Rush.

Another big inspiration besides Assault on Precinct 13 is the film Green Room. In that movie, a group of nazi’s are specifically given orders to kill the protagonists with flesh wounds - as they plan on staging the murders by having their attack dogs feast on their corpses to essentially hide evidence of there ever being a fight.

I love this because it gives a practical, story reason for the violence to be as extreme as it is. The Nazi’s have to get in close and use machete’s and knives to do the killing.

I was inspired by that by making it so in my story, since the protagonists are besieged deep inside a mine, i want to write it so that the antagonist cannot use firearms and only have to use melee weapons, because using any kind of firearm or any kind of big weapon that would risk the mine collapsing in on them while they’re inside. This means that the violence has to be close quarters, with brutal weapons like pickaxes, hammers, and spades.

However, I don’t know anything about mines and I retained very little information about the California Gold Rush from history class. The only thing I do remember is that it was a very violent and lawless time period with lots of conflict involving the native Americans, which I want to explore in the story. Some research is definitely due!

I guess I’m just looking for reassurance that maybe i’m onto something here lol I’ve never written a script in my life. Only just started really being interesting in it this past year.

Never actively listened to her a day in my life.

Everyone always mentions Heat when talking about the best firefight scenes, but in my opinion the final shoot out in Way of the Gun is miles better. There’s a difference in setting of course but the two films are very similar in terms of grittiness, and with the realism they use with the gun handling.

(actual final shoot out starts about 2 minutes in)

One of the first movies I ever watched. My dad loved this movie and I would go back and forth between watching this one and the OG Mortal Kombat. Still to this day, nothing will hit quite like 70’s Kung Fu movies like this one. The fight scenes straddle the line between cheesy and gritty. This one in particular being pretty brutal. I love that it’s a creative set piece for a fight as well as awesome creative choreography.

Been listening to this experimental/lo-fi/noisy/jazz/black metal group Mamaleek and I’m obsessed with their production. It’s very sample-based, some trip-hop influences but through a very lo-fi and noisy lense.

I’m relatively new to music production and i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me figure out a similar sounding drum sound to this song at 1:18? I can’t actually tell if it’s a drum machine or drummer playing live but it sounds amazing. I love how warm it is.

Was browsing the PlayStation store and Stalker 2 caught my eye. Never played a stalker game before, was hoping that it wouldn’t be full priced still but i guess it is.

If I like the games listed above, would you say buying Stalker 2 is worth it? I’ve always liked what I’ve seen from gameplay videos and I’ve always wanted to go back and play the originals one day.
