“I try to be considerate when I'm writing violence on the page. That's always a sticky question, if violence is entertainment, because "Evil Dead II" is one of my favorite movies of all time. But that's much different than the violence in "The Cabin at the End of the World." I try to ask, if this were to happen in real life, what would it feel like? I wanted to try to treat the violence with dignity, or dignify the experience. What I mean by that is if anyone has ever had the misfortune of being assaulted or witnessing a violent act, whether you are the victim or one of the witnesses [or] even the perpetrator, you're going to be fundamentally changed by that event. My hope is that that's what is represented in the book.”
— Paul Tremblay, about The Cabin at the End of the World
“I intentionally filmed it as a wide shot. You can’t film a person who’s suffering that intensely as a close-up. It becomes obscene, pornographic. You can’t do that. The more real it is, the more pornographic. We had to give them the opportunity to preserve their dignity, even though they’ve lost their dignity in that situation.”
— Michael Haneke, about Funny Games

SUMMARY: Two psychopathic young men take a family hostage in their cabin.
This movie is a shot-for-shot remake of the original, made by the same director. It's another case of a remake that really works for the mod for reasons she can't really explain. It just works for her.

🛌 🏒
Thank you, thank you <3 from this ask game.
From the home invasion fic:
“Thanks,” Jamie wheezed.
“Just rest,” Roy said, running his hand through Jamie’s hair.
Jamie flinched at the touch. It was minor, something someone else might not have noticed, but to Roy, so attuned to Jamie’s body and movements, it might as well have been a slap. Guilt and sadness fought for dominance in his gut.
“Sorry. Shit. Sorry,” Roy offered, a fleeting wish he hadn’t done it fleeting like a meteor through his mind.
Jamie looked, fuck, Jamie looked guilty. All sunken cheekbones, bruises and hurts seen and unseen painting across his face making Roy’s anger, something previously simmering and low turn bright and quick and deafening inside him as he fought his urge to run from the hospital and find the men who were responsible and do whatever he could to make sure there was nothing else they could inflict on anyone else.
and from the hockey au:
They spent the rest of the walk to the arena finalizing the lines and who would play the power-play, who would kill any penalties. Beard was the research man, without asking, Ted knew he would have found all the games the team had played in the last two years. More if he had time.
Ted felt slightly better by the time they reached the arena. Beard had that effect on him. Just his presence was able to calm Ted when he didn’t even know he was about to tumble down a metaphorical hill of anxiety.
The arena was alive with activity as the coaches arrived, players running through their normal pre match activities and preparation. That, too, relaxed Ted a bit, the normality of the scene, of skates being sharpened, meals being eaten, physios being utilized.

What strangely specific scent do you give off?
mint plucked from the ground.
you're the easiest one to run to when things go wrong, and because of that, you're surrounded by a bunch of people who you swear you can help feel better, people you swear to heaven and hell both that you can "fix". you're sharp, both in scent and in practice, precise and yet vague. your practicality is unrivaled, and people seek you out for your wisdom and your sweetness, and it's draining you. your roots spread like a wildfire, and you burn away the nerves that let you feel. invasive, even if you don't want to be, because you're in every place you shouldn't be. go home, little root; go home before you don't remember what home is anymore.

SUMMARY: Two violent young men take a mother, father, and son hostage in their vacation cabin and force them to play sadistic "games" with one another for their own amusement.
Listen to the mod. This movie is bleak, it's difficult to watch, but if you're into that, please watch it!

Tagged by the extremely talented and wonderfully supportive @thirteenemeraldcats to post the last sentence I wrote.
(Sharing two for a wee bit of context)
Roy looked up when someone entered but it was only a nurse. She checked some of Jamie’s vitals and his IV and was gone just as quickly as she arrived.
Tagging @rarelyrad @jamiepoptartt and @asteria-argo (and anyone else) if they want to play but no pressure :)
