Found footage horror movie but instead of the monster attacking the crew it just steals the camera and the rest of the film is the crew chasing the monster to get the camera back
op your mind
Found footage comedy
this movie is so fucking creepy jesus fuck
It’s by Tim Burton, what did you honestly expect?
Actually, it’s Henry Selick, who was the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas. The book was written by Neil Gaiman, though, and is far…far….worse.
Sorry, I’m about to geek the hell out.
The movie is captivating, but the book is twenty kinds of terrifying, even now, ten years after I first read it. As disturbing as the movie may have been to some, the things Selick added really serve to cushion just how horrific the story really is.
First of all, the character of Wybie does not exist in the book. Coraline is facing all of this nearly alone, with her only help coming from the sly comments of the cat, a warning from the circus mice, and the stone given to her by her neighbor, presented with no comment but that it “makes the unseen seen.”
Second, the Other Parents are never quite as warm (and, dare I say, normal) as they are in the gifs above. They’re described as having paper-white skin and the Other Mother’s hair is said to move on its own, and her long, red, claw-like nails don’t ease any uncertainty that she is absolutely, positively up to no good. The first time Coraline meets them, they (and the rest of the Others) seem to be playing roles (for whatever reason, Coraline does not seem to pick up on this), like they all know what to say and what to do and are simply waiting for Coraline to make her move in their terrifying play world. This is shown to be partly true when the Other Parents tell her they know she’ll be back soon after she refuses the buttons - this time, to stay.
Third, the Other Mother commits atrocities that really should not have been in a book for anyone not fully grown up. She physically deforms the world around Coraline to slow her progress in their game beyond any mild traps the movie portrays, and, instead of turning the Other Father into the wandering pumpkin-thing seen in the film, she simply ceases to use him and throws his body away in the cellar, leaving him to rot with whatever bit of sentience he has left. She begins to lose her touch, as Coraline gains the upper hand. Her world doesn’t just become a nightmare - it falls apart completely. No creepy but oddly cool bug furniture here, just the house that now appears to be a child’s drawing. Whatever the Other Mother is (a beldame, but something tells me she’s much more ancient and powerful than that), she does not give half a hump about what she has to do to ensnare Coraline. Destroy the supporting characters of her twisted creation? Done. Allow herself to be dismembered to ruin Coraline’s life in the normal world? Not even gonna bat an eyelash.
On a final, personal note, imagine eight year-old me, ignored by my parents, absorbed in the story and identifying with Coraline from the start. Imagine me finishing this bloodcurdling book and immediately thinking of my basement, where there is still a locked door that my grandmother swears up and down is nothing more than a storage room, but has not once in my (or my mother’s) lifetime unlocked.
Can you see why this book still scares me?
Fun fact I learned from seeing neil gaiman speak: when he first wanted the book published, his editor said it was too scary. He suggested she read it to her young daughter, and then decide. So she did, and her daughter wasn’t afraid, and it was published. Years later, Gaiman was sitting next to that daughter at an event and told her this story, and she said “oh I was terrified I just didn’t want to tell my mom”.
Coraline WAS too scary to be published, but exists anyway because a girl lied to her mother.
@neil-gaiman, is this true about the publisher’s daughter?
It was my literary agent, Merrilee Heifetz who read it and said “you can’t seriously expect this to be published as a children’s book.” So I suggested she read it to her daughters. And she called me back a week later and said “They love it and they weren’t scared at all. I’ll take it to Harper Children’s.”
A decade later, at the Opening Night of the Coraline musical, I was sitting next to Morgan, Merilee’s youngest daughter, and told her how her not being scared had made the book happen. And she said “I was terrified. But I needed to find out what happened next. So nobody knew.”
So, yes.
This website can be toxic at times, but the fact that people can just tag Neil Gaiman to get his input, like a sorcerer invoking a benevolent spirit, is definitely a bright spot.
Not only did the husband end up falling in love with the peacock (named Chief), they ended up getting a chicken as well!
That ended more wholesome than I had feared and I’m glad
exotic animals should not be pets 🙃
Peacocks are domestic and extremely common ya city bitch
when I lived in California as a teen there was gang of peacocks that beat the living shit out of my sisters cat
Also if it’s being sold like that it’s more likely the animal cant go back into the wild and would need a person to take care of it. Birds that are rehabilitated mostly can never be wild again as they easily imprint on humans 🤷♀️
@senil888 @greenleafsama it… It’s not wild OR exotic. They are domestic game fowl in the US, the same as turkeys and pheasants. They’re farm animals at this point. Like chickens, just with different care needs. They’re sold at farm auctions and game bird swap meets alongside all other kinds of domestic fowl, and most of them aren’t even that expensive, like you can get a plain blue like that for $50-100 around here, which is the same amount I paid I adopt my cat. They’ve been bred so domestically and for so long that there are literally hundreds of color/pattern mutation combos. Do you even know purple peafowl actually exist? Bronze? Opal? Silver pied? Even most of those won’t put you out by more than $200 if you’re just looking for a pet. People pay more for dogs. Rats, mice, rabbits, and guinea pigs are considered “exotics” by vets, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t domesticated them.
Chief was almost certainly being sold because someone hatched him on purpose from their pets. Chances are good that if these two have a “local” livestock auction, they live in some approximation of “the country” rather than the city, so I’m guessing they are perfectly capable of keeping both of these birds just fine. Whether they do or not I don’t know, but even if they don’t, it wouldn’t change the fact that plenty of people on farms do.
Like me, for example. Here’s one of my purple kids looking for some attention. That’s their pen in the background. He was out free ranging with my chickens.
One of my ladies begging for a treat:
Here’s our pens:
Here’s a baby I was babysitting for a friend down the road that has them. Two of my other neighbors have them too.
Like. They’re galliformes, the same as chickens, the same as turkeys. They look fancy but I promise you, they’re not.
They just shiny! That’s it! No FOWL done!
Interesting and all well and good for the US of A but… You know the world keeps going past American shores and in other English speaking countries these little guys are certainly exotic and should not and rarely are pets outside of rehabilitation centres/zoos… So… Everyone is right?
@axendil Actually they’re domestically kept on every major continent except antartica, including MOST english-speaking countries and also a LOT of non-english-speaking countries so…. no, they’re really not just a “US of A” thing.
They were originally domesticated in Asia/SE Asia, not the US, and they’re still kept there. Australia has really strict no-import laws so they’re doing the best they can with colors and patterns down there (last I heard they have pied, white, cameo, and I think BS? maybe Steel, and I’m PRETTY sure they managed to get green imports to make spaldings at some point) but they definitely keep them on farms there too. Europe has a really beautiful morph called EU violet that is SO much bolder than the US purples, but we’re having a difficult time getting them over here since it’s a few thousand dollars to ship w/ the vet work, but people are doing it. Germany has a morph just started up called Elfenbien that is a mutation of a mutation, something Went Wonky in the opal mutation and caused a sex-link blackshoulder pattern to appear, but since the original breeder doesn’t know what exactly is going on yet, he’s not really spreading them to the other breeders in the area yet. I belong to several peafowl groups online and I regularly see posts from Russian, African, and Brazilian breeders, and just this weekend I had a long discussion with someone in Scotland who was lamenting not having purples yet and I got to introduce her to another Scottish breeder who has EU violet, and show pics of the differences. They’re considered domestic fowl in England, and kept on farms. I’ve seen fewer Canadian breeders/keepers, possibly because it’s so cold up there they don’t fare well, but I definitely have seen them there too.
BUT LIKE lol it’s not a USA Only thing for them to be kept on farms or as pets, so like, maybe hop down off that high horse until you know what you’re talking about? Also the dude and his wife in question are from the USA anyway so that’s where the debate is taking place?
Have y’all not met peacocks? They’re literally large shiny pigeons that can’t fly. Mixed with chickens.
I’m sorry, @mikemakesdadjokes but are you sure you have met a peacock?
They
absolutely
can
fly
They may not be able to soar like birds of prey, or make extended migrations like waterfowl, but they absolutely can fly. Those big, powerful wings are not just for wing buffeting each other in the face. They prefer to roost as high up in trees as possible, often well over 30 feet up there. Even the domestic ones are capable of the same.
I’m learning things!
I can’t just scroll past a post with this many birbs.
I grew up near then when I was younger. A family had an entire flock of them. They would get out and roam the neighborhood every once in a while. I thought they were always pretty and tries to see them as often as I could.
Never even though if being able to get them as pets or livestock. I figured they were exotic or something so they were there for a reason.
I want one now. I plan on getting some chickens, I wonder if a peacock would be an issue here. 🤔
In conclusion, brothers, focus your thoughts on what is true, noble, righteous, pure, lovable or admirable, on some virtue or on something praiseworthy.
Philippians 4:8
Living His Word
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.” - Revelation 21:1-3
There are a lot of stories in the Bible. Added together, they form one grand narrative. This narrative is not fictional, but true. If you were asked what the grand narrative is all about, you would have to say that at bottom it is all about God and His relationship to His creation. In effect, it is the story of everything, because there is nothing other than God and His creation. It begins in Genesis 1 with the story of God’s creation of heaven and earth and it ends here in Revelation 21 with the story of a new heaven and a new earth.
At the beginning of the grand narrative there is the Garden of Eden, but here at the end of the narrative there is a city, the new Jerusalem. The grand sweep of the narrative moves from a simple garden situation to a complex city. Genesis tells us that God’s manifest presence, his actual appearance, was there in the garden with Adam and Eve. He used to walk about in the garden (Genesis 3:8). Sin, of course, changed all that. Although God is omnipresent, after sin entered the earth His manifest presence was exclusively to be found in His dwelling in heaven. Revelation, in contrast, tells us at the end of the grand narrative that God’s manifest presence will return to earth with the new Jerusalem.
The reason for God’s change of dwelling is that the sin problem will have been resolved. Through the work of Jesus Christ in his first and second comings, sin will have been totally removed from the earth.
At that time, we will be able to fellowship with God face to face (Revelation 22:4), just as Adam and Eve once did.

WTF?
Knew it was bad but holy 🤬
You can google search all of these by name with words liked charged, indicted, or resigned, and confirm all of them, even on google. Some go back several years, but they are true and I think the intent is to illustrate that these things are not as rare as the media wants people to believe. They're happening all the goddamned time and it's the worst kept secret they've got.
expose the filth
Friendly reminder that every party with power is corrupt ❤️❤️❤️
“In time, it’s going to be impossible to deny that abortion is violence against children. Future generations, as they look back, are not necessarily going to go easy on ours. Our bland acceptance of abortion is not going to look like an understandable goof. In fact, the kind of hatred that people now level at Nazis and slave-owners may well fall upon our era. Future generations can accurately say, “It’s not like they didn’t know.” They can say, “After all, they had sonograms.” They may consider this bloodshed to be a form of genocide. They might judge our generation to be monsters.
One day, the tide is going to turn. With that Supreme Court decision 43 years ago, one of the sides in the abortion debate won the day. But sooner or later, that day will end. No generation can rule from the grave. The time is coming when a younger generation will sit in judgment of ours. And they are not obligated to be kind.”
— Frederica Mathewes-Green, Abortion Won the Day, but the Day will End
who told you misandry was bad? men??
Yes you are man haters
what are you going to do about it
Fight for my rights as a male!
men don’t deserve rights 💅💅
Without men humanity is nothing we build half of society
without men we would have like 90% less crime and better living conditions but go off
What about cars? Phones? Me? You wouldn’t have those WONDERFUL things without men! Ever watched zootopia? People are MORE than their biology and the crime rates of those they happen share that biology with!!!
anyways cars are destroying the environment and i hate phones
Now do one for why black people should disappear. Go ahead.
ah, so you’re racist!
there is a massive difference between me wanting all men locked in a cage because they’re violent little fuckers, and wanting black people to disappear
Oh? So using statistics to see all men as dangerous is fine, but using statistics to see all black people as dangerous is bigotry?
Is this the logic you want to use? I dont want to blame your age, but this is something called a double standard. You are being unfairly harsher on one group because you favor one over the other. It's discrimination.
But in this case, it sounds like you want men in concentration camps? So would you rather I compare men to Jews? I dont like the term "feminazi", but you really arent helping when it comes to separating the two.
im not being unfairly biased, dumbass. im basing my opinions off of my experiences. nearly every man ive ever met has made some misogynist orsexual advance towards me. however, not almost every black person ive met has been a horrible violent criminal.
“aww you hate men? so you want them in concentration camps? so you hate jewish people” literally shut the fuck up
if you had been treated at all the way and woman ever has for just a day, maybe your head wouldnt be so far up your ass
Definitely bias.
Your "experiences" are no excuse to be a bigot. I lived in neighborhoods where most crimes were dont by black people. Rape, murder, theft, assault, etc. Do you think their victims should be able to fear and hate black people based off of their experiences? Should black people be caged? That's literally your logic.
Then you move the goalpost to say that your personal experiences with men are shared with all women. Which is another reason why the "my experiences" argument is bad.
What you are saying is that it is acceptable to discriminate against someone for how they were born based on your personal experiences. And you refuse to apply that logic to other groups because your your personal bias.
You cant tell me you dont have biases and then admit your biases.
you werent born being a rapist, you chose to be
and it is a fact that male violence is a shared female experience. not every woman who was sexually assaulted by a male was assaulted by a black man but it was always a man.
women actively have a reason to fear men
If people choose to be criminals, then you cannot generalize them as such for how they were born.
Again, black people commit the most violent crimes by race. Your logic can equally be used to generalize black people as dangerous and to "put them in cages", as you want with men.
Out of all men, black men are the most likely to assault someone. Again, your logic can equally be used to perpetuate racism as well as misandry.
I dont like pulling out the age card, but youre literally 16. You've surrounded yourself with sexist radfems and have a very limited world view. You think it's fine to hate and disctiminate against men now, but hopefully you'll grow out of it.
Bigotry is bigotry. Misandry exists and men face systematic inequalities, partially due to people like yourself.
@cheshireinthemiddle spitting out straight facts.
yall look at this shit ad*be is tryna pull now on ppl who have outdated software:
(note for context: i’m all for piracy, but in this case my copy of CS6 was downloaded years ago when they were giving it away to students. i got it totally legally.)
so here is what NOT to do if you’re a loyal fan of adobe who has the cash to shell out for a newer and shittier version of the product you already paid for.
1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app
2) DON’T type in services.msc
3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’
4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change.
5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor
if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things.
however, you SHOULD reblog this to spread the word, as we certainly want to make sure lots of people know what NOT to do :)
I’M SORRY MA'AM. I KNOW YOU’RE UPSET.
Pretend to be upset.
OP how could you
I hope none of my friends who use Adobe programs find this, follow your detailed instructions, and spread the word. That would be devastating!
Educate yourself, arm yourself, defend yourself.
I’m a good person but will do bad thing’s to bad people when needed.
