This book has one of the bleakest last pages pretty much ever. Masterpiece.

if it does you should leave it to me in your will

Despite that premise, the film is surprisingly sweet, although I do think the sheer volume of sex scenes eventually gets a bit exhausting....

Also Holly Hunter forever.

CRASH (1996). This is where the method is paying off, to quote the Just King Things crew. This film, about car crash and bodily harm fetishists, is almost a perfect hybrid of SHIVERS and parts of VIDEODROME.

M BUTTERFLY (1993). I saw this once 25 years ago, and thought that it was a clever critique of imperialism and orientalist fantasies with a trenchant final scene.

This time it just read as pure bathos...?

This movie scared the fuck out of me when I was a kid.

The last scene though, with the greedy corpos getting their just desserts, is literally delicious.

This is super cute

Update: Have now escaped twice, and best run is $6b. Had a terrible run of luck on the last few spins on that one, and could probably have gone much higher, but still, feels good man.

I mean I love them, but still.
