WHEN COMIC BOOK MOVIES GO DARK IN THE SCI-FI/BODY HORROR VEIN -- IT'S A.I. BUTCHERING HUMANKIND IN 1999.

NOTE: My best friend included this movie in a stack of DVD's he lent me earlier this week, and I thought it was a really brutal/gruesome take on the sci-fi/horror/action movie genre. The fact that it's based on a Dark Horse Comics property only enhances its appeal, personally.

FILM: "Virus" (1999)

DIRECTOR: John Bruno

SCREENPLAY: Dennis Feldman & Chuck Pfarrer (adapted from Pfarrer's Dark Horse comic book limited series)

CINEMATOGRAPHY: David Eggby

PRODUCER: Gale Ann Hurd

DISTRIBUTOR: Universal Pictures

PLOT SYNOPSIS: "A powerful electrical-based life form takes control of a Russian research vessel and kills the crew.

Finding itself trapped at sea with no escape available for it to spread through worldwide electrical systems. The creature desperately begins seeking escape.

An American tugboat boards the abandoned Russian research vessel hoping to plunder it and make a fortune.

The life form quickly seeks to eliminate the intruders whom it has come to see as a virus and utilise them at the same time to allow it to reach the mainland."

Den här månaden tror jag att jag fått till en schysst blanding åt er att grotta ned er i. Det blir direkt-till-video-raffel från 90-talet, svart-vit skräck, vallarna-fasrser och en trevlig filmserie starkt influerad av doctor who. Om en speciell omtitt där jag bara såg Mumien Vaknar, remaken från 1999 och remaken på remaken från 2017.

Alla tiders Åsa-Nisse (2023) [👍🔁🎭]

Dark Angel: The Ascent (1994) [📺]

First Spaceship on Venus / Der Schweigende Stern (1960) [📺]

Josh Kirby… Time Warrior: Chapter 1, Planet of the Dino-Knights (1995) [👍🔁📺]

Josh Kirby… Time Warrior: Chapter 2, the Human Pets (1995) [👍🔁📺]

Josh Kirby… Time Warrior: Chapter 3, Trapped on Toyworld (1995) [👍🔁📺]

Josh Kirby… Time Warrior: Chapter 4, Eggs from 70 Million B.C. (1995) [👍🔁📺]

Mumien Vaknar / Mummy, the (1932) [👍]

Mumien / Mummy, the (1999) [👍🔁]

Mumien / Mummy, the (2017) [🔁]

Murder, She Wrote: South by Southwest (1997) [👍]

Odjur / Creature from Black Lake (1976) [👎📺]

Skräcken i Svarta Lagunen / Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) [👍]

Tower Heist (2011) [__]

Tre dagar för Condor / Three Days of the Condor (1975) [👎🔁]

Virus i bataljonen (2009) [👍🔁🎭]

Werewolf in a Girls' Dormitory / Lycanthropus (1961) [📺]

Så vad skall ni ta med er från den här listan? Vallarna är ju alltid bra, och Josh Kirby charmig. Men Tower Heist var riktigt underhållande, trots att jag inte är något stort fan av Ben Stiller.

there's nothing about DiMA in the fallout art book, but i'd bet good money his appearance, and the way the mechanical synths look, owes more than a little to the 1999 movie virus

#fallout #DiMA #body horror cw #that first pic especially #virus is Okay. like as a movie it's alright. but those effects? killer!!

Just out of curiosity, what is on your robot movie watch list? (I'm also looking for movies to watch) Also somewhat related, have you seen Electric Dreams (1984)?

My one impossible to credit point of pride is that I’m 90% sure I kicked off the chain reaction of electric dreams current popularity. It had almost no presence on tumblr before I watched it, posted about it, and showed it to a bunch of people, and I’m pretty sure it went and snowballed from there.

Electric Dreams aside, I have a list off all robot movies I have watched, here, and ones I intend to watch, here.

Ones I would highly recommend:

Monsters of Man

Finch

Appleseed Ex Machina

TAU

Colossus: The Forbin Project

Virus (1999)

TLDR: 2D plays/played resident evil and its one of his favorite series

long vers: i genuinely believe this solely because of this shirt ⬇️

and everything else we know about his character.

he likes zombie movies and is described as something like a zombie at times so yeah itd be plausible and the t-virus is something that shows up in the first re game...which came out around the time before he joined the band (1996)

2 and 3 (1998 and 1999 respectively) came out just around the time they were working on the first album/murdoc still in the process of forming the band so there would be enough time for him to develop a love of the series (if he hadn't already in the beginning)

like just imagine him being so happy waiting in line to get this new game thats hes been hearing about from everywhere

i also itd be somewhat of a comfort for him, something that reminds of of his life before the band (though he'd never wish it was different, maybe a few aspects), its just sometimes a nice reminder and a way to wind down if something is too overwhelming (or his painkillers arent working in the earlier phases).

he also definitely showed noodle once she was old enough (he made that mistake with the zombie movies once and he felt so bad) and i genuinely think she somewhat like the series (her first game wouldve been the og4, she would dislike the blood and everything she'd totally think that the were girls badass), this also becomes something they do together on their days together (they do because i totally say so).

i either read to much into that shirt or i could be right either way he would play resident evil thanks for coming to my TED-Talk <3

LIKE SOMETHING STRAIGHT OUT OF A COMIC-BOOK BECAUSE IT DID COME FROM A COMIC-BOOK.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a cybernetic/biomechanoid monstrosity from "Virus," the 1999 American science fiction horror film directed by visual effects artist John Bruno and based on the 1993 Dark Horse comic book series of the same name by Chuck Pfarrer.

Anyway, I was bummed out to find that this scene in the 1999 movie was nowhere to be found in the original 1993 comic book, meaning the movie definitely expanded in detail the cybernetic horror alien A.I. was capable of inflicting upon the human body. Essentially what you see here, and the results are beyond grotesque.

Westworld at 50: Michael Crichton’s AI dystopia was ahead of its time

by Keith McDonald, Senior Lecturer Film Studies and Media at York St John University

Westworld turned 50 on November 21. Director Michael Crichton’s cautionary tale showed that high-concept feature films could act as a vehicle for social commentary. Westworld blended cinematic genres, taking into account the audience’s existing knowledge of well-worn narrative conventions and playfully subverting them as the fantasy turns to nightmare.

The film centres on a theme park where visitors, in this case the protagonists Peter (Richard Benjamin) and John (James Brolin), can enter a simulated fantasy world – Pompeii, Medieval Europe, or the Old West. Once there, they can live out their wildest fantasies. They can even have sex with the synthetic playthings that populate the worlds.

This sinister idea went on to be explored further in later films such as The Stepford Wives (1975 & 2004), A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) and Ex Machina (2014).

youtube

Of course, it all goes terribly wrong when a computer virus overruns the park and the androids become unbound from the safety protocols that have been encoded into them. The resultant horror climaxes with Peter being stalked through the park by the menacing gunslinger (Yul Brynner).

The film isn’t perfect. Westworld was Michael Crichton’s feature directorial debut, and it shows – as does the tight shooting schedule and frugal budget imposed by MGM. The studio was notorious at the time for mishandling projects and their directors.

Compared to some of the other notable films released that year, such as William Friedkin’s masterful The Exorcist, Nicolas Roeg’s terrifying Don’t Look Now and Clint Eastwood’s assured High Plains Drifter, Westworld has a B-movie aesthetic.

This is, though, elevated by a towering performance from Brynner, and the high-concept approach that later came to dominate the Hollywood system. The film also provided fruitful inspiration for an ambitious HBO adaptation in 2016.

Genre blending and bending

Westworld successfully blended science fiction with other genres. In this sense, it was a pioneering film, which made the most of its limitations due to the hugely influential imagination of Crichton and a postmodern masterstroke of the casting and performance of Brynner.

Today’s cinema is saturated with meta-textual references – moments when a film makes a critical commentary on itself or another movie. This was typified by Michael Keaton’s recent reprisal of his role as Batman in The Flash. But when Westworld was released, such creative choices were novel and fresh.

Bynner’s android gunslinger wears a costume almost identical to the one he donned for his role in The Magnificent Seven (1961). The choice adds dramatically to the thematic concerns of the film – the saturation of consumer culture and the postmodern bent towards repetition, simulation and cliche.

The simulated scenes in the theme park itself are built around cliched movie moments. The three settings which high-paying customers can enter represent film genres: The Medieval simulation, the “swords and sandals” recreation of the Roman Empire and the titular western.

When Westworld was released, each of these genres (the Medieval history, the Roman epic and the western) were already past their heyday, both in terms of popularity and reliability at the box office. Using them furthered the film’s comment on contemporary Hollywood – that it had run out of original ideas and was simply cashing in on nostalgia.

youtube

Westworld and AI

Though other films, like Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), were exploring the concept of nascent AI around this time, Westworld arguably did so in the most accessible style. And its legacy in doing so is clear in subsequent films, such as The Terminator (1984), The Matrix (1999) and recently in M3GAN (2023).

Crichton later revisited the notion of a theme park turning perilous due to the Promethean human instinct in his novel, Jurassic Park in 1990. Steven Spielberg’s adaptation remains one of the high points in American action-adventure cinema.

The fascinating scenarios Michael Crichton explored in his work successfully embodied the societal anxieties and technophobia of the 1970s. And in Westworld, he demonstrated a flair for capturing such fears in visual set pieces. This is no more evident than in the iconic, uncanny image of Yul Brynner’s deadly, sentient killer cowboy. Fifty years on, it remains one of the most memorable images in science fiction cinematic history.

[5 comfort characters and 5 tags]

We're so late to this omg 😭 We were tagged by @harleyshahas!! Thank you!!!

Well this list is gonna be kinda hilarious because I turned to Kam and said, "Who's your comfort character?" and they replied, "What's a comfort character?"

So with that setting your expectations appropriately:

Bendy (Bendy and the Ink Machine) - We have so much Bendy in this house. Literally Bendy pillows and Bendy blankets and Bendy plushies and if your comfort character isn't the character you snuggle up with for warmth, then who is?

Kamui and Fuuma (X/1999) - They've been a part of our lives for so long. We love them unconditionally. Art and fic of them will always make us smile, even when we aren't particularly into it, because just seeing love for them brings joy to our hearts. ...We also have home decor of them.

The Titanic (The actual fucking ship) - shut up it counts this ship makes me so happy to talk about and learn about and read books about and see new documentaries and 3D models of and aaaahhhhhhh Plus I do actually think about Ismay and the Countess of Rothes and Jack Thayer and Molly and yanno technically, after all these years and all these movies and all these fictional books (Including Deck Z—A zombie virus break out on board the Titanic—and yes I own it) they totally count as characters. The ship has grown to possess a life of its own and I love it. We do not have Titanic home decor. Although not for lack of trying, that stuff is just really expensive.

Jack and Pitch (Rise of the Guardians) - If we're having a bad day, reading a blackice fic is a good way to cheer us up and get us out of our own heads. Talking Pitch and Jack with our friends is hugely uplifting and so much fun and we are so thankful for our little blackice cult ❤ We have surrounded ourselves with as much Jack and Pitch as we can find.

Pyramid Head (Silent Hill) - We know this is probably an odd one, but when it came to picking one above the rest to fill in spot #5, it's the only one that made sense for both of us. We don't buy every Pyramid Head thing we see but, like... it's close. He is an icon of Silent Hill, a game very dear to both of us, and we love the lore that surrounds him. He's so cool and he's so much fun and we love to see art and cosplay of him. MetroCon had a Barbie Pyramid Head cosplayer and it was the most amazing thing. So, with posters of this guy on our walls, he takes the last slot as a source of comfort to us.

Well. I hope that was worth waiting for lawl 😂 Thank you again for the tag, @harleyshahas ❤

5 tags: @askmyname @quillienvii @pheasantmadness @justalilgoofball @drinkysketch

Forgot to post this earlier, went to the ‘Gothic Returns’ exhibition at the Auckland Art Gallery, and the ‘Medieval Manuscripts’ exhibition at the Auckland Library! Thanks Phoebe for going with me, this was such an awesome experience and I plan to go again soon- specifically to the gothic exhibition, it has etchings from Goya, beautiful!

Gothic Returns: Fuseli to Fomison

“This exhibition explores the persistent appeal of ‘the gothic’, a broad term that embraces some of the most darkly charismatic imagery ever produced. Incorporating all things febrile, esoteric, sombre and downright scary, this nebulous genre has its origins in the late 18th century British Romantic movement. First defined by thee medievalising novels of Horace Walpole (1717-1797) and the disturbingly sensual paintings of Swiss artist Henry Fuseli (1741-1825), it has since proven almost virus-like in its capacity to adapt and thrive across centuries. Whatever outward form it assumes, the gothic has also shown itself remarkably true to its essential character: ominous moods, unsettling themes and a melancholy engagement with the past.”

(Above left) Barry Cleavin, NZ, Menage a trois, etching and photo-engraving

“Inspired by predecessors such as Francisco Goya, Barry Cleavin utilises historical imagery to expose society’s dark, seedy underbelly. Both the lean, muscular figure standing in contrapposto pose and the work’s scenic, Neoclassical background are drawn from an 18th-century anatomical manual. Superimposing onto those images a harpy and a group of drowning figures culled from a 19th-century Romanticist depiction of a passage from Dante’s Inferno (1314), Cleavin implies that the Enlightenment project to understand and visualise the interior of the human body is not a disinterested science but a sick and twisted fantasy.”

(Above right) Henry Fuseli, The Serpent Tempting Eve (Satan’s First Address to Eve), 1802, oil on panel

“With its themes of confused morality and seductive evil, Paradise Lost (1667) by the revolutionary poet John Milton (1608-1674) had a profound influence on gothic art and fiction. Henry Fuseli painted numerous subjects from Milton’s poem, including this scene, in which a handsome Satan with the body of a serpent beguiles Eve into eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve then persuades Adam to do the same, leading to their expulsion from Paradise. The biblical story of Eve’s gullibility was often used as proof of women’s weaker minds and moral character and to explain their susceptibility to the dark arts of witchcraft.”

(Above) Ronnie van Hout, Psycho, 1999, house model

“The Victorian mansion, with its too-many rooms, has been imagined time and again as a living tomb for outcasts as it has declined into a forlorn relic of urban and social change. Identified by filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock as a structure that can literally breed insanity, few who have seen his 1960 horror film Psycho can enter such places without a feeling of stifled dread. In an overt nod to the cinematic classic, Christchurch-born Ronnie van Hout’s miniature sculpture of a Gothic villa reclaims the idea of the lonely Victorian mansion as a metaphor for the tormented artist’s mind. Through an upstairs window, the artist can be seen going knife-wielding mad in a tiny film, trapped in a mental and auditory landscape of B-grade horror movie tropes.”

(Above left) Edmund Sullivan, Persephone, 1906, lithograph

“A century after the birth of ‘the gothic’, an interest in its lurid themes and irrational energy resurfaced in the Symbolist movement and its related decorative style, known as Art Nouveau. The mythological story of Persephone was widely known through Ovid’s Metamorphosis. In it, Persephone, daughter of the goddess of the harvest, is abducted by her uncle Hades while smelling narcissi in the fields of Enna. Enjoyed for its thrillingly transgressive themes of illicit love and the Underworld, in this image British illustrator E J Sullivan exploits the erotic tension of two bodies merging into one continuous outline as Persephone embraces her lustful captor in a dreamlike ecstasy.”

(Above right) Henry Armstead, Satan Dismayed, circa 1852, bronze

“Henry Armstead’s sculptures captivated proponents of the Gothic Revival in mid-19th-century England. A depiction of a celebrated passage from John Milton’s Paradise Lost (1667), this bronze shows a lithe, sensuously rendered Satan recoiling as the Son of God transforms the Devil’s benighted followers into slithering, serpentine demons. Milton’s Satan was the prototype of many hero-villains in Victorian Gothic novels. Proud, vain and driven by a perverted desire to corrupt and destroy others, he is here insidiously portrayed as a figure of alluring, angelic beauty.”

Ok.......so this is what I've finished so far (for Ju-On), in rough viewing order:

Katasumi

4444444444

Ju-On: The Curse

Ju-On: The Curse 2

Ju-On: The Grudge

Ju-On: The Grudge 2

Ju-On: Black Ghost

Ju-On White Ghost

So basically got the whole original series outta the way (I do recommend Black Ghost and then White Ghost last, since that's the more chorono accurate way). I like them all! JOTG2 was kinda......well I'd rank it lower than the other's (yes even Cursed 2 and BG/WG). I recommend watching a cut that makes The Curse 1/2 into "one movie" so you avoid the repeat scenes in TC2. BG/WG wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, WG was a bit funny cause of the basketball but it was heartbreaking. The drama/story was stronger in WG imo, but BG had slightly better horror and a decent story too.

What's left for Ju-On (in rough viewing order):

Reboot: Ju-On: The Beginning of the End and Ju-On: The Final Curse

American series: The Grudge, The Grudge 1.5, The Grudge 2, Tales of the Grudge, The Grudge 3, The Grudge (2020)

TV: Ju-On: Origins

Crossover: Sadako vs Kayako (saving till after I do all of Ringu)

I don't think it matters if I watch Tales of the Grudge before or after The Grudge 2 tbh....

Ringu that I have to do:

Ringu/Ringu Kanzenban (1995): 1st adaptation, Based off of novel, most accurate adaptation.

Ringu (1998): Most popular I believe, not sure how loosely based it is on the novel.

Spiral (1998): Original sequel of Ringu (1998) but takes the sequel novels name? Seems to adapt parts of the novel at least.

Ringu 2: Second sequel to Ringu (1998), replaces Spiral (1998). Original story that ignores Spiral.

Ring 0: Birthday: Prequel to Ringu (1998), based off of short story in anthology novel titled birthday.

Sadako 3D: Loosely based on S novel

Sadako 3D2: Direct sequel to Sadako 3D, last installment of "Rasen" story line?

Sadako vs Kayako: Skip till later

Sadako: Sequel to Ringu 2 (1999)??? Loosely based off the Tide Novel. Seems to have a tie-in manga of "Sadako-san and Sadako-chan"

Sadako DX: Sequel to Spiral (1998)???????!!! Oh this is gonna be so confusing TT0TT Also not sure if I'll be able to watch this juuuust yet cause my luck there's no translation yet.

Ring: The Final Chapter: TV Show, seems to be a slight reboot

Rasen (TV series): Sequel to Ring: The Final Chapter, doesn't related much to source material

The Ring Virus: Korean adaptation of Ringu (1998)

The Ring: American adaptation of Ringu (199*)

Rings: Short film that serves as a sequel to The Ring and prelude to The Ring 2.

The Ring 2: Sequel to the American Ring, I think this plot is original.

Rings (2017): Sequel to The Ring 2, apparently based off of Spiral's premise.

Phew I think that's it- wait, what the fuck is a Hikiko-san VS Sadako???? Bunshinsaba vs Sadako???? 1, 2, AND 3????? Oh I'll cross that bridge when we get there. TT0TT

Honey, baby, sweetie. Why the fuck are you fighting everybody and their mother???? TT0TT

(anyway, gonna ignore reading novels/manga or watching the games for now)

#silly watches #silly marathon #horror marathon #now i just need to see what should be the 3rd franchise I binge for halloween 8U #long post

i'm working on a gothic horror mostly focused on jason & bruce but i want to include babs too, i mostly pull from the 80s comics for my characterization. Are there any good barbara gordon comics that have a gothic horror vibe and/or would be a good jumping off point for writing a gothic horror barbara? (ie, i'm mostly pulling from "The Cult" for my portrayal of Jason) Or, do you think steph or cass would be fun in the gothic horror genre? i haven't read much past the 80s comics, so I haven't read much of the girl's stuff (or even Tim's, lol)

Cass is objectively the easiest of the Batgirls to pull gothic horror vibes from because her entire character is tailor made for it. She's cultivated the 'fast, scary, and silent shadow wraith' vibe for 20 years and counting, and we love her for it. There's also a lot of magical surrealism in Cass's stories (from post-apocalyptic hallucinations to 'magically re-learning how to fight') and of the three Batgirls, she's the only one who's ever died and been properly resurrected (via Lazarus Pit). So if you want a good jumping off point, I would recommend reading Cass's Batgirl solo.

That being said, Steph had a fun issue once (co-starring Kara) where they went to the movies and fought a bunch of Draculas:

Batgirl (2009) #15

Probably not the story vibes you're looking for (it was a rather light-hearted 'girl's night out' issue), but still fun to consider.

As for Barbara, hmm....well I wouldn't necessarily consider it gothic horror, but there WAS that one Birds of Prey arc where Babs became a technopath for a hot minute because Brainiac left her with a sentient tumor virus after possessing her:

"We're alone now. I thought I could handle you. Control you. Because you made me think that. But if there's anything I've learned lately, it's that no one can control everything. I thought, when I got rid of Brainiac, that the dangerous part of you was gone. But we just threw away the gun and left the bullet inside." -Birds of Prey (1999) #84

"I think you're trying to make my body fail. It's scary to be alone, I know. Brainiac planted a virus in me. But the smartest creature in the galaxy forgot...I'm a hacker. And I placed a bit of myself in you. You can't kill me now. And I can't save you." -Birds of Prey #85

It's more body/medical horror than anything, if I'm honest, but it was kind of a cool idea while it lasted.

Other than that well...*shrug* there's always DC Bombshells' Vampire!Babs to work with:

#dc comics #barbara gordon #cassandra cain #stephanie brown #my batgirls #long post #asks #I feel like there IS in fact a gothic horror story with Babs running around somewhere in the early 2000s #but I can't remember what it is (if it exists)
