10.A Shy Kiss/18. Holding Hands

Hell yeah time for fluff

--

Okay... first date....Going pretty well so far. The Movie was okay—MK wasn't very big on horror movies even ones as old as this one was, but Red Son was really excited when he saw it was being played for a ‘foreign movies’ night at the movie theater and what, could have have argued against such enthusiasm?—if a bit slow going and atmospheric.

Though after the heroes found the monster frozen and seemingly dead in the abandoned Norwegian outpost, all twisted and malformed, he really hoped his appetite wouldn't be killed by the end of this with even worse when the monsters started actually moving.

And then the monsters actually started moving.

The dog turning into a monster and killing the other dogs hurt the animal lover inside him, and he felt a bit of his latent arachnophobia begin to rear its head when the hairy legs sprouted from its back, and then the actual form the monster, halfway through killing the remaining trapped dogs had sent a chill up his spine and then-

“See how they were able to make the monster look goopy? It's not really very goopy except during the close up shots, because it's an animatronic so it had to be dry most of the time, they got the shine effect by piling liquid latex ontop of the finished paintjob until it started drying while it trailed off of the frame. And that right there? When it took the hurt dog? That was actually filmed in reverse, having the tentacles start out around the dog puppet and then rapidly pull away so when they reversed it it looked like they actually moved and had torque behind the action.”

“Really?”

“Yeah it's really fascinating how they went about effects before computer graphics were refined, everything had to be practical so even if it doesn't look the best, it doesn't hit that uncanny valley that bad CGI makes because even if it doesn't look real it looks real enough.”

It didn't feel quite as disturbing with that rattling around in his head, focusing on how much work must have been done to make the monster move as realistically as possible, how many times they'd practiced and trained in a controlled sound stage and adapting it to the set...

They weren't the only ones in the theater, but it was a mostly empty showing, as was usually the case with foreign films as old as this one. So it wasn't like they were disturbing anyone with Red Son leaning over to whisper interesting details MK would have never even thought to look up to make the overall experience less scary. Red Son seemed aware that he wasn't the biggest horror fan, and was trying to soften the blows the more intense moments would bring by talking through them and bringing back  the reality that it was just a movie they were watching.

“I was alive in this era and I can state with general expertise that computers were certainly not that advanced yet. Computer AI wasn't past that of your average graphing calculator until at least the mid 1990's.”

“They got that sound effect by putting a microphone in a tin trash can and recording the sound of a racecar zooming by and put it in a reverb chamber until it sounded completely unrecognizable”

“Blair is already a Thing at this point, you remember when he was dissecting the Norwegian base's monster? He was using a pencil eraser to point out that era in its chest and then he'd touched the eraser to his lip! And since it started by probably just a small contingent of shed cells it probably took him longer to assimilate than the others.”

“This is actually really cool! The stunt double for Copper that they got for the scene actually was a double amputee! They made fake hands for him out of latex, filled them with fake blood, and styled the chest jaw like a bear trap for that disgusting pulling shot.”

Though... That one didn't work as well... When the long tendril shot from the Thing's stomach and sprouted slider legs and a second head, the extending neck hissing and glaring down at the heroes, he felt his gut turn, even as the heroes took the flamethrower to the monster.

The monster's first head ripped from its body and grew spider legs. And Oh GOD that was disgusting, without thinking he reached for the edge of the armrest to grip as the heroes had to play cat and mouse with a severed, spider head. He'd missed, and his hand clapped down atop of Red Son's and squeezed.

Red Son jolted beside him and MK saw him turn in his direction in his periphery.

“You know if this is freaking you out too much we can leave.”

“No! No, it's okay. You like this movie! You wouldn't know so much about it if you didn't like it!” Besides, he shouldn't be getting so spooked about some kinda gross kinda spidery horror movie from the 1980s, what kind of hero got freaked out at a little practical effects?

He couldn't see Red Son's face very well with only the light of the movie itself to see by, but he made a strange sort of humming noise and slipped his hand out of MK's, moving his arm to put the arm rest up and then slide his hand back into his own.

“Here, that should be more comfortable then.”

And it was. Red Son's factoids and chatter alongside the movie were doing well at cutting the edge off of it again, and it was aided by not just their connected hands, but now by his physical closeness as well.

“I've heard the director had this stylistic rule about after the Things start invading, the idea is that if a character has light reflecting off their eyes they're human, if not they're a Thing.”

“Most people think Palmers was the shadow the dog assimilated back earlier but I think it was Norris, Palmers didn't get turned into a thing until after they go and talk to Blair again I don't think.”

“Actually...I don't think I like that translation very much. Like yeah it's more polite and Gary's a gentleman, but 'I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter tied to this fucking couch' emphasizes the stress of the situation better.”

And then came the time of the final confrontation, MK braced himself, squeezed Red Son's hand in his own. It was indeed gross, and frightful, and the puppetry alone was REALLY good. All those moving parts and there's no way that THAT was an animatronic so it HAD to be a puppet. And wow that was a REALLY good explosion.

...huh...Apparently he could do it too.

The movie ended with what MK felt like was a tentatively optimistic note. The remaining two heroes sharing a drink as the research facility and the monsters it housed burned around them. And you maybe get the feeling the two of them won't survive the cold, but they stopped the monsters and that’s what matters.

Though MK was right to worry over the movie killing his apatite because by the time the lights went up and the credits rolled he found he wasn't very hungry. Which felt ridiculous since he was always in need of quick carbs for Monkie Kid things. But Red Son had lost his own apatite as well apparently and the two of them could do nothing but laugh a bit awkwardly at their date being derailed by a movie being a bit too gross.

So MK pulled him into a nearby park and they went for a walk instead of the restaurant they'd planned for.

“Most people think that Childs is a Thing and I'm tempted to agree, He doesn't have the eye shine but neither does MacReady and we know he's not a Thing, but MacReady's breath is steaming and Childs' doesn't until the very end there, and MacReady wasn't drinking, those were Molotov Cocktails, that was gasoline and Childs just downed it without a thought to taste or smell.”

“So you think the Thing won at the end?”

“I don't know, but they do have one flamethrower left and Childs whether he's a Thing or not just drank gasoline. So MacReady as a person is probably as good as dead.”

“I Dunno, I like the idea that he wasn't a Thing in the end, gives it something not dissimilar to a happy ending, but like, it's not like they hadn't been wrong about who was a Thing before. The dog handler wasn't a Thing but he got shot anyway.”

“That's very true.”

It was about there that MK realized he'd yet to let go of Red Son's hand.

Well... he hadn't pulled away... MK squeezed Red Son's hand in his own, and Red Son—on a tangent about how in the time before CGI they'd made the stylistic title card with use of a fishtank, garbage bag, flash paper and a lot of smoke—squeezed him back.

A few hours and a plate or two of street vendor food when either of their appetites returned later and Red Son had insisted on walking him home. He was staying in a penthouse that his family technically owned but he was the only one who actually knew about it, and he wanted to be a gentleman before he headed back there.

“Well,  I hope you enjoyed yourself a bit. I feel as though I should apologize for choosing such a niche film, mother always said I was the only one who cared about foreign horror movies and just because I find movie effects fascinating especially in a time before technology was as advanced as it is now doesn't mean I should subject others to my incessant yammering.”

he didn't really think Red Son could pull off shy, but he'd folded his arms tightly and was very pointedly NOT looking at him now. And Sure, this felt like a big step, but that playfully self deprecating tone wasn’t gonna fly here. He moved slowly, giving Red Son time to pull away if desired. Placing one hand on Red Son's shoulder, the other on the side of his face to turn his head. He had to get on his tiptoes to make it to his level, but he leaned in-

It was nice. Soft, and Red Son of course ran hotter than an average person so it was warm too. He pulled away just as he felt Red Son start to press back against him. When MK opened his eyes, he noticed Red Son's were still closed for a moment longer before fluttering open.

“I like your incessant yammering.” He had such a cute blush. “it means you're passionate about something.” 

“You... wanna come in? Monkey King gave me this new tea blend I've been meaning to try out.”

A film, also called a movie, motion picture or moving picture, is a work of visual art used to simulate experiences that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images. These images are generally accompanied by sound, and more rarely, other sensory stimulations.[1] The word """"cinema"""", short for cinematography, is often used to refer to filmmaking and the film industry, and to the art form that is the result of it.

❏ COPYRIGHT CONTENT ❏

Copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to make copies of a creative work, usually for a limited time.[1][2][3][4][5] The creative work may be in a literary, artistic, educational, or musical form. Copyright is intended to protect the original expression of an idea in the form of a creative work, but not the idea itself.[6][7][8] A copyright is subject to limitations based on public interest considerations, such as the fair use doctrine in the United States.

Some jurisdictions require “fixing” copyrighted works in a tangible form. It is often shared among multiple authors, each of whom holds a set of rights to use or license the work, and who are commonly referred to as rights holders.[citation needed][9][10][11][12] These rights frequently include reproduction, control over derivative works, distribution, public performance, and moral rights such as attribution.[13]

Copyrights can be granted by public law and are in that case considered “territorial rights”. This means that copyrights granted by the law of a certain state, do not extend beyond the territory of that specific jurisdiction. Copyrights of this type vary by country; many countries, and sometimes a large group of countries, have made agreements with other countries on procedures applicable when works “cross” national borders or national rights are inconsistent.[14]

Typically, the public law duration of a copyright expires 50 to 100 years after the creator dies, depending on the jurisdiction. Some countries require certain copyright formalities[5] to establishing copyright, others recognize copyright in any completed work, without a formal registration.

It is widely believed that copyrights are a must to foster cultural diversity and creativity. However, Parc argues that contrary to prevailing beliefs, imitation and copying do not restrict cultural creativity or diversity but in fact support them further. This argument has been supported

by many examples such as Millet and Van Gogh, Picasso, Manet, and Monet, etc.[15]

❏ ADAPTATION ❏

As referenced, I Still Believe is coordinated by the Erwin Brothers (Andrew and Jon), whose past executive works incorporate such Movies like Moms’ PARTICULAR DATE, Woodlawn, and I COULD Only Imagine. Given their partiality fascination strict based Christian films, the Erwin Brothers appear to be much the same as an appropriate decision in presenting to Jeremy Camp’s story to a realistic portrayal; moving toward the material with a specific sort of gentBookmark this siteleness and truthfulness to the procedures. Much like I COULD Only Imagine, the Erwin Brothers shape the component around the life of a well known Christian artist; introducing his humble begiings and the entirety of the hardships that he should look en route, while melodic tunes/performaBookmark this sitence mulling over significance of the film’s account story movement. Saying this doesn’t imply that that the film isn’t without its heavier minutes, with the Erwin, who (once more) know about strict hints topics inside their undertakings, outline I Still Believe convincing messages of adoration, misfortune, and recovery, which (as usual) are very crucial to watch and experience throBookmark this siteugh misfortune.

This even addresses the film’s content, which was peed by Erwin siblings playing twofold obligation on the undertaking, which has a lot of sincere emotional minutes that may surely pull on the heartstrings of certain watchers out there along with give to be a significant drawing in story of going directly through misfortune and difficulty and finding a reclamation circular segment to get away from it. That is particularly made bounteously clear when working with a deadly ailment that is like what Melissa goes through in the film, which is pretty all inclusive and intelligent in everybody’s reality, with the Erwin Brothers painting the agonizing excursion that Melissa brings with Jeremy close by, who must sort out some way to adapt to agony of a friend or family member. There is a “twofold edge” blade to the film’s content, yet I’ll specify that underneath. Get the job done to express, the film settles rapidly in to the recognizable example of a strict religious component that, while not actually cleaned or unique, could be the “comfort food” to a few; anticipating a healthy message of confidence, expectation, and love. By and by, I didn’t know about Jeremy Camp and the account of he and Melissa Heing, so it was a significant impactful excursion that was contributed unfurling through the whole film’s procedures. As a side-note, the film is a lttle bit a “tragedy”, so for people who inclined to crying during these emotional ardent motion pictures… .get your tissues out."

Tales From the Road: Drag Week’s Real Challenge is the Between the Races

HOT ROD Drag Week 2017, powered by Dodge and presented by Gear Vendors Overdrive

When people think about Drag Week, their first assumption is that the battle throws down on the track. And competitively, that’s mostly true — but to make those ETs count, you’ll need to make it across a thousand miles. What typically makes something fast rarely makes it more reliable than your factory-fresh daily-driver, and that’s the challenge builders and drivers have to balance in order to make it to Friday. On Monday, we rode along with 2016 Spirit of Drag Week winner Jeff Oppenheim and his 1986 Chevrolet El Camino, along with son-and-father team James and Ken Rowlett in their 1985 Fox Mustang, Al Nemetz with his blown 2014 Ford Mustang GT, Vic Nye his 2000 Pontiac Firehawk, and Wesley Frazier in his 2016 Ford EcoStang (Mustang Ecoboost). Jeff managed to convince this Pennsylvania-based crew to join Drag Week’s mechanical mayhem even after his El Camino earned the title of “Crispy Camino,” so you know they’re the right kind of crazy.

The Rowletts’ week started off a little rough — their freshly-built, 6.0 LS-truck-based Fox hadn’t ran until Sunday’s tech day (with Jeff’s El Camino rope-towing the Fox threw the lanes as James and Ken worked through the bugs), but for Monday’s leg, they had diagnosed their misfire as a broken valve before even leaving the track after the first day of racing. For many racers, that’s when the French national flag is flown while giving in to the God of Speed, but for Drag Weekers, there’s an insatiable force of “Never give up, never surrender!”

So, on the road we went! With the short jaunt from the Gateway Motorsports park to an E85-ready gas station, the Rowletts quickly realized that their seven-cylinder LS was creating nasty driveline harmonics at cruising speeds (55-60mph), but a donated hose clamp was slapped on the driveshaft to help balance things out (the worm screw housing acting as a balancing weight, classic road-side trick). Despite the painstakingly-slow pumps, we were on the road in no time through the hills and cornfields of Illinois.

Our first checkpoint was the Blue Moon Drive-In in Galesburg, IL, a monolithic icon of the small town that went into operation in 1949 and through into the 1980s. In 2005, it was reopened by the Carlsons, who graciously hosted racer-after-racer as we came though. Drag Week runs racers down a required route, our torture test to find that ultimate street car, and we use checkpoints to keep racers honest while bringing them along some of America’s best road-side nonsense. We got our photos, grabbed a quick tour of the projector room, and quickly got back on the route.

Speaking of torture tests, ours had already begun. James’ Fox began letting the smoke out, and we pulled quickly pulled over. If you’ve been following Drag Week, you know how familiar these scenes are: hood up, heads together, with fields and farms in the back-drop. James and Ken began looking over the LS, quickly tracing the oil leak to the sending unit, which had begun to work its way loose. As each of our fellow racers passed, a thumbs-up/down system became the norm as competitors slowed to check on each other. Jeff threw them a few quarts of oil while the sending unit was screwed tight, and we were back on the road in ten minutes.

For the most part, the trip had been pretty smooth. Weather was good, and Jeff and I were talking about the madness of the week and about how he’d felt returning to Drag Week after his roadside fire in 2016. Readers will remember that last year, Jeff’s Elco suffered an oil fire when the oil pressure guage feed line broke, pouring hot oil over even-hotter hot-side turbo plumbing. With the help of his friends, including the Rowletts who delivered a Holley ECU and wiring harness from Tennessee overnight to Indy, he was able to rebuild the El Camino in 12 hours to return on the road, grabbing the checkpoint he missed, and ride the last night out with an exhibition pass (the tow to Indy disqualified him) to seal the week off on a high note, even if there was no timed result that mattered any more.

Though the two-lane concrete ribbons of road that make up the country highways of Illinois, it’s hard not to feel like the Driver and Mechanic of Two Lane Blacktop, the iconic barn-burner movie about a duo that’ll take a race at any cost as they cross the US — sounding a little familiar?

For the most part, things were going along fine. Jeff’s Elco had developed a minor surge under certain loads, but the Holley EFI began to tweak and play behind the scenes as the ride went on, smoothing things out over the miles. Just about the only thing that broke up the miles of cornfields were the occasional cow-paddy scents, but there’s something about the heartland at sunset that just feels right as you bomb along in a straight-piped, turbocharged El Camino with a host of speed freaks in tow.

We had just made it to Jerseyville, IL, about 40 miles from the hotel, when Ken sent a text that’ll stop any circus: “We broke down. Calling tow truck.” Of course, after the 14-hour day, everyone’s cellphone batteries had depleted, and after 10 minutes of discussion and phone charging, we were able roughly locate them about two-miles back. Upon arrival, things didn’t looks good. The bent valve, which we later learned had been damaged by a previous shortblock failure, had broken. Jame caught it quick, but there’s few failures that are more potentially-catastrophic than dropping hardened-steel parts into the cylinder. While father Ken had already called a tow truck, James was determined to pull the head an find out whether or not the head of the valve had bounced around like a gnat on meth inside the motor. If the damage was relatively minor, they had a fresh pair of heads staged waiting for delivery in St. Louis.

James, Ken, and Jeff quickly broke out the needed combination of sockets, ratchets, extensions, and impact-drivers to pull the intake and exhaust manifolds off in order to free the suspect cylinder-head from the depths of the Fox’s engine bay. Pulling the rocker on cylinder-five was all we really needed to know, but there’s no stopping a Drag Weeker that’s determined to keep on. Somehow, the fine folks living in the historical Col. William H. Fulkerson Farmstead didn’t mind us autopsying the Fox in their front yard, so the crew pressed on.

After about 45 minutes of controlled thrashing, the head was off, and things were clear: the Rowletts were done — the valve had become one with the piston, but not before beating a hole through the crown. The cylinder head looked like it had been hit with birdshot as the valve rattled around in the combustion chamber just long enough to ruin the head for the foreseeable future.

Disappointment was met with the venerable crrrack-pawp of an icy beverage as James accepted the fate of the incoming tow truck. What’s not important is the failure itself, but the determination to dig until there’s nothing left to find in the quest to hold Friday’s final time-slip.

Not soon after pulling the head, Bowers Towing arrived with a flatbed to grab the Fox and its trailer, and the Rowletts worked with owner Todd Bowers to store the appropriately-named “Boost of Burden” in his shop until they could return with a tow-rig. A racer himself, Todd was more than fascinated with the drama that had played out over the last few hours.

With that, even though the Rowletts’ race was over, they hopped in with the rest of the convoy and decided to spectate the race for the week. James was disappointed, but not mad — Drag Weekers have to have a certain respect for their luck, good and bad, and take the lessons learned from this year to carry on for the next. They’ll be back, they say, and with their rookie year’s hard-knock lessons learned, we hope the Boost of Burden eases up in 2018.
