How Tumblr seems to me everytime I return to it after taking a break from it longer than 24 hours.

Hmmmmmm....

So, I happened upon an old Starlog Magazine from 1982 (almost 40 years old!) that covered things like Dark Crystal, The Thing (and the John W. Campbell's short story it is based off of), Blade Runner, and talk about that new Star Wars sequel "the REVENGE of the Jedi" (I remember the Burger Chef tray placemats promoting the very unused title of that-had I grabbed those then, they would've been worth a lot). Anywho, articles like this grabbed me. Being the image-monger I am, I had to try and track her down online. No Luck. Can't narrow the name or even the title of the sculpture above. A different Deborah is named in connection to the art consultation of the Dark Crystal, but I will expand on that interesting case later. If anyone knows more about Deborah F. French though.....

So, I finally saw Peele’s “US”...

(have not seen? proceed no further for some SPOILERS are here!)

Even if the movie seemed far-fetched, many had to find themselves admiring it’s imaginative approach as we would with something like Cabin in the Woods.

There is a lot to unpack and so many references to other films I could note (like twins flipping about like Pris from Blade Runner or an under-dwelling of impressionable bodies from an abandoned experiment like one episode of Venture Bros.)...but I am surprised with what is not being addressed online with theories abound.

Regarding the “experiment”: anyone recall how the Nazis were fascinated with scientific research into twins (not to mention their odd predilection for the occult-so “soul” as a metaphysical field of interest was not off the table for them)?

If not Nazis, was this about the subterranean DEROS (of Richard Sharpe Shaver phenomenal mythology). The Church of Subgenius regular mentions DEROS (and their inhuman experiments) and twins known as Nental Ives.

As one church pamphlet put it-- NENTAL IVES: clones of us in the spirit world whose duplicate lusts influence our behavior on this material plane.  Yes - JEHOVAH 1 smote us in primeval days with BAD BRAKES by which we cannot stop our devil twin from overcoming our 'better nature' and by which, furthermore, we cannot even begin to tell the difference between the two!  Brakes keep us from committing ANYTHING WE MIGHT IMAGINE IN OUR MOST DANGEROUS FLEETING FANTASIES, such as chopping off noisy children's heads and giving... well, all of us, even non-SubGeniuslike whimps of the second and third waters, are Jekyll/Hyde monsters of two conflicting Noggin Polarities in our personalities; the SHAFT OF SUPPRESSION rears its ugly Head in response to this utter psychosis which squirms for most of our lives only in the dim, unseen reaches of our behavior-pumps; we act completely normal most of the time, but who is to say at any given moment which side, the 'good' or the 'bad,' is currently in control of The Animal? Thank "God" we are usually never aware of the subconscious Armageddon which expresses itself, physically, in our paranoias, human Work Instincts and universanal compulsions, and, spiritually, in our unruly but subtle psychic powers - which result not so much from any 'inner aura' but rather from a somewhat mindless 'ghost' standing invisibly at our sides:  it is the half of our intelligence which is currently not controlling The Animal, it is the NENTAL IFE, and it erupts from its usual idiot blithering into weird, occult pheno-manifestations only when our turbulent mental background reaches such peaks of simultaneous crisis and repression as the stormy glandular rampages of adolescence!

On a personal note (and all for whimsical speculative purposes): where are some other places (other than a funhouse in Santa Cruz) that would harbor entrances to subterranean experiments like these? As far as SE Michigan is concerned, it could be anything from an abandoned factory in a neglected part of Detroit to some place Downriver (maybe Zug Island?). Could it be the tunnels of the abandoned asylums in Northville and Westland (Eloise)? For me, I tend to think that it has something to do with the Fairlane Towncenter. Many folks used to say that the Fairlane Towncenter was haunted (especially in the back interconnecting corridors and tunnels running through the place), and during a very stressful time in my life, I did witness some poltergeist activity....but that’s a different matter altogether (hey-maybe there were even other ways to get to what is now the defunct Hyatt than what used to be the monorail...Hmmmm?).

I’m beside myself with speculation......

Just a reminder this happened almost a year ago. At one point, Trump made one of his classic fabrications in saying the fire was out, and was later corrected by fire chiefs who said the blaze was till going.

The only fatality was a Todd Brassner of the 50th floor. https://heavy.com/news/2018/04/todd-brassner-5-fast-facts-you-need-to-know/ A friend of Andy Warhol, Brassner had a spate of bad luck including financing and being stuck with an apartment he couldn’t be rid of (which had every issue from plumbing to, of course, electrical). Many pieces of priceless art and collectibles (including some Warhols and the original screenplay to Blade Runner) also went up in the fire.

Trump derisively referred to Brassner as “that crazy Jew”.
