I miss the comfortable, cluttered home interiors in movies like you could tell people lived there and even if things were tidied they weren't sanitized. Nowadays movie and tv home interiors look like they double as the set for a lysol commercial....like who lives here?? Mr. Clean??

In scream (1996) it's really evident in every home scene that people live there. Things aren't overwhelmingly messy but there are the little messes here and there that build up over time as you rush through your day:

Even here at the desk you can see stacks of books and papers and a soda can, clear evidence of life:

Contrast this with scream 4 (2011), you get absolutely none of the same sense of home and daily life. Every room is styled like architectural digest is due to stop by any moment. The teenagers' bedrooms are carefully placed, with no individuality, and their cars look freshly washed in every scene. Even as syd fights for her life, her surroundings are spotless:

In fact, directly contrasted to the original scream, every kitchen in scream 4 (and there are many) is spotless, with nothing out of place, so much so that jill has to purposefully wreck a lot of kirby's house just to convince people there was a fight there (even though...there was).

This is the kitchen from scream:

And yeah, a lot of that can be blamed on the party, but there's stuff on the counters, and dishes in the sink, like you would find in any normal kitchen on any average day of the week.

Now look at this kitchen in scream 4, supposedly also a normal kitchen, also on an average day of the week:

You cannot convince me someone actually lives there.

I find it endlessly fascinating that most humans just want someone who will get up in the middle of the night to close the windows with them when it starts down pouring. We want someone to dry our dishes after we wash them. We just want another person to do mundane activities with. We want to tell someone how the copy machine broke at work and we want to listen to how Debra is causing office drama again. We just want something so simple. We want human connection and honesty and to be bored with someone else instead of bored alone.

man the Appalachian mountains really aren’t shit huh

archosaur-automaton

The Rockies are new, young and virile and fresh from the Laramide orogeny, tall and lanky teenagers on the geological scale. the Appalachian mountains are old, formed hundreds of millions of years ago before dinosaurs walked the Earth. They are ancients, elders, witnesses to half a billion years of life coming and going. To be tall is not a virtue. To be small is not a sin. The Appalachians are eroding under the weight of time, slowly shrinking and returning to the Earth from which they sprang. Appreciate them while they are still here.

I do want to say real quick again about the age of the Appalachians…

They said “before dinosaurs,” but we have a cave here that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago.

There are no bones in that cave. No fossils. No nothing.

That’s because this cave began forming before bones existed on land, and had only just started to exist in the ocean. Shellfish hadn’t evolved yet. Limestone, which forms many caves, was just starting to become a more prevalent rock.

The mountains aren’t older than dinosaurs. They are older than bones.

see that little lump up at the top of minnesota? the sawtooth mountains? so small most places would just call them hills?

those are over a billion years old.

that’s why they’re so small. they’re the last ancient remnants of a lava flow 5 miles thick. the lava didn’t kill any dinosaurs. or any fish. or any animals at all. because there were no animals. you know what there was?

algae.

those mountains were 5 miles tall when the most advanced life on earth was algae.

so i’m just gonna go ahead and keep calling them mountains, even though all you need to climb them is hiking shoes and a nice afternoon. because a place where you can crouch down and touch basalt that was lava before leaves were invented deserves some respect.

at the beginning of the pandemic we learned millions of citizens view washing their hands as ethically weak or clinically unnecessary

and now we're supposed to trust strangers are being honest about their understanding of basic hygiene and let everybody go maskless on a good faith basis

just return to raw public air on cramped trains, uncovered coughing fits in windowless spaces with no ventilation, during a pandemmy with new variants cycling

absolutely not lmao
