imdb scores are obviously bullshit but d20 on a bus having a 9.9/10 on imdb & episode 4 of calamity having a 9.8/10 is the most wonderful two sides of the same coin thing in the world because calamity episode 4 is considered by some percentage of actual play audiences to be The Peak of dungeons & dragons actual play storytelling and d20 on a bus is one of the most anti-narrative pieces of dungeons and dragons actual play content out there and yet they are both deeply beloved because they are both successful at doing the thing any ttrpg is supposed to do, which is creating a fun experience for the players. calamity’s “but it did happen, and it did matter” is in many ways a direct mirror to “it’s almost as if the bomb didn’t matter.” for every critical role campaign 4 episode 19 where luis carazo is giving it his all portraying a sobbing breakdown due to his character’s immense guilt & grief there is also a dimension 20 fantasy high junior year episode 18 where ally beardsley’s character’s british heterosexual simulacrum successfully pulls off a divine intervention after saying “blimey.” this is all correctly played dnd. an actual play is a show but it is also fundamentally a game. the points only matter as much as the players & gm want them to. the same can be said for the story.
Gore of my comfort character. How will Ally feel. Thats their partner.
Spoiler Behind The Shots from Iron Lung
Spoilers and some pretty gory images are going under the cut
Echo Duemig, production sound mixer, shared some bloody movie shots from his computer monitor.
being yelled at by markiplier reminds me of seeing convict losing his absolute shit in the sub
Went and saw iron lung for the 2nd time and there was a giant trash can on the stairs collecting water leaking from the ceiling so we heard *drip*...*drip*...*drip* throughout the entire movie. Very immersive, 10/10 experience. I would absolutely love to go see it a third time
Redid this one frame from the movie (I don't remember if there was teeth but I gave it teeth cause I wanted to!
not sure if that's enough blood actually
I think one of my favorite bits in iron lung is the like. Split second blink and you miss it exterior shot of the sub in the ocean. Its just Red and you cant really tell what youre looking at at first and you only do right as it cuts away and its this like. Shock to the system because until that shot we've been in the sub the whole goddamn movie. And theres just a solitary exterior wide shot of this tiny little sub in the ocean of blood surrounded by Something and irs like. Oh. God. Its so good
Man- I'm still not over the fact that that arm shot must have been a practical effect and a GREAT piece of practical gore at that?
The way that you can see the tendons tearing as Simon pulls made me so queasy.
i love characters who just want to live, despite knowing damn well they have nothing to live for
I'm still thinking about religious iconography in Iron Lung. I know, big surprise with an inciting incident called the Quiet Rapture, a place called Eden and a single tree, but I'm particularly caught on the voice over of Simon's father. Heard a lot of language and talking points very heavily inspired by American Evangelical preachers. Simon refusing to talk about his beliefs in God because he "heard enough of that on Eden." The fact that his nihilism echoes his father's speech/sermon. His resolution to fight against the destiny of "enlightenment" at the expense of human lives and turn to making the future better even if he won't be a part of it; not getting a promised reward, his freedom, his "salvation."
Hbomberguy's review pointed out the similarities of Simon's job and Mark having to hunker down in the dark to work for so long on something he wasn't sure anyone would get to see. I look at Simon having a particular reverence for his mother and Mark's history with being raised in and rejecting Christianity.
Also he was washed in the blood of a god and ripped himself down from a visual parallel to a crucifixion. And his name is Simon, like St. Peter's dead name.
Maybe I'm reading into shit only because I was raised in the same religion but this Unus Annus clip feels integral to Iron Lung's message. Simon isn't a good person. He's impulsive, he's explosive, and his first instinct is to save his own skin even at someone else's expense. But he does the right thing. He does not get his promised reward in the midst of a dichotomy he was forced into but he does what he can to help. And it matters.
I want to talk about how The Convict fluctuates between "I'm Sorry I'm sorry forgive me i didn't MEAN to!" and flying into pure uncontrollable rage at the slightest annoyance and how that dichotomy relates to the Revelation at the end but I'm not ready to talk spoilers i think. Yet.
OKOKOK I HAVE. thoughts. about the movie
I went to see Iron Lung yesterday and- ok first some mostly spoiler-free stuff.
The movie was a good horror movie. There were some small issues, but, as horror, it was impeccable. First horror movie to actually unnerve me and stress me out in yeaaaaaaars. It was claustrophobic and barren and tense and unsettling. It didn't rely on cheap jumpscares to scare the viewer. It was good. There was blood. There was so so much blood. It respected the shit out of the game. It understood eldritch horror. The cinematography was beautiful and clever. The majority of what happens early in the movie has a payoff later on, which is fun.
Some of the dialogue/audio balancing was a bit off though, so some lore-important bits might get lost. Still, being a bit confused is normal and a part of the experience, I think.
OK now for some spoiler bits that I need to get out there.
Iron Lung is so smart with how it sets up the mechanics of the sub. I keep thinking about how when there's no light, Simon keeps using the camera to light up the sub for just a few seconds, and how not only does that light not last very long and the threat of absolute darkness is always looming, but every time he does it takes another picture and shows you another view of what's outside. Every time he gives himself a little more light, I kept looking at that screen to see if anything had changed. There's a dread in him having such limited light, but there's an equal dread in him taking pictures so frequently because what will they reveal.
It's made better by the fact that SIMON is smart too. He doesn't get himself into bad situations because he makes dumb decisions like the classic slasher victim, but his ingenuity still doesn't save him. He can't outsmart his way out of whatever's out there. That's good cosmic horror, and it feels all the more scary because we KNOW that Simon is smart and watch him solve so many problems in creative ways.
disturbing detail in Iron Lung i can't stop thinking about 😨🩸
the coagulation of the blood and the fucking...fragments. bone fragments??? cartilage???? the blood was revoltingly thick and bubbling with an alive heat, but christ, that wasn't just blood. that was people, billions upon billions of people reduced to fucking blood soup.
and it was ALIVE!!!!!!! 💀💀💀💀💀
Just watched Iron Lung, it was 100% worth the wait. There were so many expansions to the original game lore (bare with me, I've only seen Mark's original playthrough) and they're HAUNTING
