Short ND game review: MHM
Message in a Haunted Mansion
Plot: ND arrives at a Victorian hotel to help a family friend help with renovations, as it turns out that total trash is happening here, and there are hints of ghosts to be present.
Tumblr media
Characteristics: The characters are flat, dull and BORING! But the atmosphere hits hard, it's denser than Louis' stare. The first game that positions itself as a horror. Personally, I was scared of it af as a child, it traumatized me beyond belief. Roughly speaking, the mansion here is almost like a separate character.
Tumblr media
However, if it were not for nostalgia, I would obviously love the game less.
Also I think I have some false memories of this game? But I remember seeing this ghost in this mirror. However it never occurred in my recent playthrough and I can't find any evidence of this happening. Please write me if that was true I don't wanna appear stupid -3-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What adds into the horror factor - and the reason I like the first 3 games - Nancy doesn't react much to anything happening around her leaving you alone with your feelings.
The music is ALSO SO GREAT OMG.
One of my favorite games even though I am not eager to replay it.
Score: 17.9. Recommended.

#Knock The Book 2: The Devil All the Time
WELL, I MADE IT TO THE 2nd BOOK REVIEW OF MINE, MEANS THAT I’M A PASSIONATE AND PERSISTENT BITCH, PERIODT. No actually I’m just bored and got really nothing to do, so here I am making judgmental, invalid and uncritical book review just to ease my guilt for doing nothing at home (just so my mom see me working through my laptop).
Okay The Devil All the Time is actually my first English book. The story of how I got this book as a matter of fact is quite irritating and funny at the same time. My uni friend, she saw this book in a modest book bazaar near her hometown. She was reading the title and the word ‘devil’ just remind her of me, she bought it and just gave it straight to me…... I’m sad but like thankful???
It’s a secondhand and hardcover book but I don’t really mind, considering the fact that the quality is still very nice though, except the worn spots stained all over the cover that make the book looks very old. My friend bought this only for RP 25.000, yes dude you’re not misread this shit, it was THAT CHEAP (whoever sell and own this book before me, I really appreciate it). Although if you want to buy the new one, you can get this book for USD 26.95 which converted in rupiah would be RP 407.500, yeah its cost pretty fancy for broke students like us and I don’t know if the book’s supposed to be available in your local bookstore but I think you can find it in worldwide shipping online store like amazon or any other shop perhaps. The book’s cover illustrate a dying white mutt hanging on the ‘log’ and bunch of cross everywhere, the cover is actually make sense when you read the book. It published in 2011 by doubleday in United States of America. The Author is Donald Ray Pollock, and you can find the sum information about his background written on the cover, but based form the book’s cover you can also check his website in donaldraypollock.com but when I checked, I’m not sure if it’s really his website since it just like pest control website (LMAOO I HAD NO IDEA FR). Anyway,
Let’s go breaking down the book!
“… Too much religion could be as bad as too little, maybe even worse, but moderation was just not in her husband’s nature”
The whole story in this book, basically give you portraits regarding the life of lunatics in the time after WWII. Nope, there is no sums up about the events happened in that moment so chill y’all non-historical enthusiast bitches. This book gonna give you a bizarre experience reading it, the first 10 pages of this book was already psychedelic, I assure that shit. Have you watched Games of Thrones series on HBO? It’s chilling right how Ned Stark, the protagonist of the main series died in the first season???? EXACTLY that was the vibes u got after reading the first chapter and get crazier every time u read forward. By the way, this book embodied 7 chapters and 55 sub-chapters, the chapter in odd and even numbers has 2 different main focuses on each characteristic exist, here I sum it up for you:
On the odd numbers chapters (1, 3, and so on), the central story of these chapters is circling among the family of Willard Russel, his Mom Emma and Uncle Earskell and also those 2 insane peeps Roy Laferty and Theodore. Willard Russel used to be a navy army and a bit skeptical dealing with religion issues just like his uncle, but his mom has always been a devoted worshiper. Willard married to the beautiful and kind-hearted women named Charlotte and they was given a son named Arvin Eugene Russel, everything was normal until Charlotte got sick and Willard gone crazy praying to god for his wife’s recovery and poor little Arvin has to suffer the predicament by his own self. Their stories always give me religious-fanaticism-gloomy vibes (is that even make sense??). Don’t even get me started with the life stories of the two brutes-ass man, Roy Laferty and Theodore they were used to be ‘preacher’ in Emma and young Willard’s Church. Nothing I could say further because it’s gonna be a major spoiler for you, but their stories really giving you insights of how frustration and fanaticism allow people to do something beyond their common sense.
“You remember what I told you the other day?” He asked Arvin
“About the boys on the bus?,”
“Well, that’s what I meant, you just got to pick the right time”
On the even numbers chapters (2, 4, and so on), the main tales is pertaining on the journey of Handerson couple, Carl and Sandy. They were like the Bonnie and Clyde but sad and exploitative version in this book. Carl is a ‘photographer’ and sandy working as a waitress in a café called Wooden Spoon (Which the place where Charlotte used to work as a waitress and the place she met Willard for the first time as well). During summertime they got this ‘ritual’ ((but not in a religious way)) where they drive to different states and give a ride to the hitchhikers found on the way, then Carl forcefully offer them to fuck Sandy for free (HIS OWN WIFE) while he took pictures of them fucking and after that Carl kill them and take all the money those hitchhikers got in their pocket (dude I can’t even judge anything). But to be honest, I’m not a fan of these two characters because they were all so ANNOYING to death. And then there is Bodecker Lee who’s a police and also Sandy’s brother, ok that’s it, I’m not gonna give you any spoilers.
“… He went down the street and sat on a bench in a park the rest of the day thinking about killing himself instead. Something broke in him that day. For the first time he could see that his whole life added up to absolutely nothing…”
You might be confused since there are quite a lot of keen characters in this book but there’s a point where all these bitches are relating to each other, so chill y’all impatient gripe-ass. Overall, the flow of the story is undoubtedly interesting for you to keep going throughout the whole story, because every phase gonna make you wondering about next things happened to them. But, the transitions among every chapters is quite uncomfortable for me, because sometimes when the story has reached its climax there is no resolutions coming to solve the problem immediately, and you’re faced to read the new chapter with a whole different setting and characters so it’s kind of ruining the vibes and emotions the book has made me, but again this just my personal preference so please don’t judge (while everything I did right now is judging inaccurately).
“He realized that he would never preach again, but that was all right. He’d never been much good at it anyway. Most people just wanted to hear the cripple play”
However, what I like the most from this book is the deepening of every character exists is so fascinating, even for just the side or supporting character (for god sake I’m sorry idk what to called a character that isn’t the main one), for example a bus driver in Meade, Ohio which Willard talked to when he was on the way home after the war ended, the narration wrapped and portraits the driver’s life perfectly without make us bored, and there’s still a bunch of interesting narration about the life of the side characters in this book that also as odds and intriguing as the main character’s background (jesus, everything happened and everyone in this book is just so strange and peculiar I swear to god). The story finished in a most tragic-beautiful but still gloomy way, even though it’s quite predictable but still a very good closing for me personally. To be noted, on the way to the end of the story, there will be emerge another asshole priest character named Preston Teagardin, ready to shake you up until you finish the book. But still, let’s said this particular ‘last minute character’ has proving that the author is paying so much attention of how the story ended isn’t leaving any 'rush-made' impression (this shit might confused you I’m sorry my English hasn’t got any better *sorry hand sign* *sorry hand sign* *sorry hand sign*). # hashtag attention to the detail bro.
Holy crap, that’s the first time I’m almost able to cut all the bullshit I intend to bring it up here.
This book is one of my top 5 books that you have to read once in a life time (although I haven’t discover the other four, omg im sorry y’all). Little information for you that the first time I read this book (yeah I read it for quite few times) is when the campaign of presidential election era, which in Indonesia the religious are pretty sentimental issues, some of the people in my country suddenly became those annoying fanatical preachers, man I can’t stand it. And this book is just precisely relating to that condition and I get to know at least a glance of what the heck odds things happened in their minds, since you know fanaticism and stupidity doesn’t hit only on particular group of religions, race, gender or anything, we can all be stupid and brainless (especially me because I basically have no brain). There probably quite many scenes that is pretty disturbing to read (I don’t know if people could be triggered by it???? But I guess so) so yeah a bit warning. Overall, I genuinely recommend this book for you guys because every element in this book is almost perfect, the storylines, bold characters, and the RARE AND STRANGE AND SENSITIVE topic promote by the author in this novel is totally a BOOM. Don’t worry reading this book not going to give you those agnostic and atheist vibes HAHA chill I still consider myself a devoted Muslim tho (hashtag masyaallah ukthi).
By the way before I wrapped it up, I hear that this book will be made into a netflix film. WELL, of course I’m excited because the casts are so amazing, and I love Netflix adaptation and I enjoy watch movies as much as I read books (again, unnecessary information of mine *sorry hand sign*). I found that the release date is postponed from the origin plan in 15th May (which is three days ago from I posted this on my page) due to I don’t know perhaps corona because that bitch has ruined everyone in the world’s schedule, but for real I can’t find the exact information regarding to the updated release date, so while you wait the film to launch, why don’t you just go read the book first? I assure you this one not gonna give you any disappointment.
I think that would be it for this 2nd rubbish book review of mine. Although, I think I made a little progressive from the first one (OR MAYBE NOT???? I’M SORRY Y’ALL) but of course there’s still much deficiency I served. Still, I hope my writing get better in the process of making this whole novel of reviewing book inaccurately. To be honest, I wrote this shit not for getting any engagements or audience but for my own satisfied HAHA. So yeah I’m literally comfortable writing for nothing. But bitch guess what I’m just gonna keep going, until I could professionally writing and make it for a living? Well, amen for that.
Xiao, See you in Advance!

Glyptodontopelta mimus
Tumblr media
By Jack Wood
Etymology: Shield of Glyptodon
First Described By: Ford, 2000
Classification: Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, Dinosauria, Ornithischia, Genasauria, Thyreophora, Eurypoda, Ankylosauria, Nodosauridae
Status: Extinct
Time and Place: About 68 million years ago, in the Maastrichtian of the Late Cretaceous 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Glyptodontopelta is known from the Naashoibito Member of the Ojo Alamo Formation in New Mexico 
Tumblr media
Physical Description: Glyptodontopelta is not a particularly well-known ankylosaur, being only known from fragments of body armor. Like (most) other ankylosaurs, it would have probably been fairly squat and wide, not built for fast movement. Like other Nodosaurs, it would have had a flexible tail, with no tail club; and spikes on its shoulders. Its head would have been armored,a nd it would have had osteoderms (armor on the back grown directly from bone) all over its back. The osteoderms are fossilized, and what we know of them indicates they have furrows going away from the center of the body, and they featured pores and pits randomly spaced over its body.
Diet: Like other Ankylosaurs, Glyptodontopelta would have primarily fed upon low-growing foliage, as a low-level browser.
Behavior: Glyptodontopelta was actually quite common in its environment, and as such it possibly lived in social groups, meandering together across the plains for plants such as ferns and shrubs. The spikes on its shoulders - while sharp - would have been used for display to one another, with bigger spikes indicating a more “fit” individual. They may have crouched against the ground in an attempt to protect the softer parts of their bodies from predators, leaving only the armor on top exposed to danger. They also probably had more narrow mouths, to pick out very specific bits of foliage from the environment to eat; rather than a wider, more generalist mouth. They also would have found most of their food with an excellent sense of smell, and used long, flexible tongues to grab plants from hard to reach places. As a dinosaur, Glyptodontopelta would have taken care of its young - called Scutelings!
Ecosystem: The Naashoibito ecosystem is the last known environment from a notable series of environments in New Mexico from the Cretaceous; before it are things such as the Kirtland Formation and the Fruitland Formation. These showcase a familiar - but different - sort of Late Cretaceous North America than we are usually used to. While it features the usual hadrosaurs and ankylosaurs, it also has sauropods, and everything is quite distinct - an indication of the crossing over of South American and North Ameircan faunas, and the unique habitat present at the time. This environment is directly followed in the fossil record by a Cenozoic one - ending our look into this distinctive Late Cretaceous ecosystem turnover. This was a very sandy floodplain, frequently arid and with distinctive dry and wet seasons. This environment was very different from contemporary places like the Hell Creek which - while seasonal in a similar way - was significantly cooler in temperature. Here, Glyptodontopelta lived alongside dinosaurs such as the very large titanosaur Alamosaurus, hadrosaurs like Hypacrosaurus, ceratopsians like Ojoceratops and Torosaurus, the chickenparrot Ojoraptorsaurus, the raptor Richardoestesia, and possibly Tyrannosaurus rex, which would have been the main predator of Glyptodontopelta.
Other: Glyptodontopelta, being so poorly known, has been examined thoroughly to see if it counts as its own dinosaur; for now, the consensus says yes, primarily due to the differences in its armor.

The Devil All the Time
Per Deadline, looks like Sebastian will be replacing Chris Evans as “Lee Bodecker” in The Devil All the Time, based on the novel of the same name by Donald Ray Pollock.
Tumblr media
The character is a corrupt sheriff: “[a]nd there's on-the-take sheriff Lee Bodecker, whose sister Sandy and her perverted serial killer husband, Carl Henderson, troll the interstates for male hitchhikers he refers to as "models."”  (source) The sister will be played by Mia Wasikowska per IMDB.
Here’s another great review of the story:
“Pollock sets his book in the backwaters of the rural Midwest, beginning in a town called Knockemstiff, Ohio — a real town, by the way, if withered away to nothing now — where the author was born. It’s a place, Pollock says early on, inhabited by about 400 people, “nearly all of them connected by blood through one godforsaken calamity or another, be it lust or necessity or just plain ignorance.” Godforsaken is the key word here; these citizens have by and large abandoned any hope of redemption, and primal blood lust is in full command of their actions. They may scream for Jesus, but it’s the devil who takes their hand time and time again.”
Filming to start late February in Anniston and Jacksonville. (source)

Album Review: Glitterer - ‘Looking Through the Shades’
Ned Russin is moving on from Title Fight, and yet, even he can’t tell you what the final destination is. As Glitterer, the undefinable, experimental hardcore and synth-pop band from the presumed former Title Fight bassist and vocalist, no one idea of his sounds truly etched in stone yet, and often, what you hear can be subjective to the listener’s interpretation of it based around their own individual experiences as much as they’re born out of his. That’s exactly how Russin seems to want to leave the window open, too, on Glitterer’s debut album Looking Through the Shades.
After two promising EPs in 2017′s Glitterer and last year’s Not Glitterer, Russin has made it a point to make listeners second guess his intentions with a dichotomy of first person narratives and those that explore the extensions of the self. In his sonic vessel, he stylistically shifts from poppy heartbeats in Casiotone (”Again” “Building”) to reverb-drenched melodics that in a very faint way resemble a natural progression of where Title Fight were moving sonically on 2015′s Hyperview (”The Race”, “Destiny”.) Russin sings with a shrug, but occasionally, his vocals fixate on hardcore fits with shouted dexterity against a soft hiss of gauzy dreamweaving (”Digging In the Trash, “Put Ourselves Away”.) It’s like being placed at the center of his psyche, watching a tug of war between who he was, is, and will be, and realizing that in a sense, they all co-exist with equal influence of the moment.
Brevity is also a key component to the presentation. Akin to Tony Molina’s less-is-more statements of fuzzy power-pop, Russin often keeps each track beneath two minutes, which gives him just enough to introduce an idea, flirt with a hook, and leave the listener with a thought in passing to perhaps extrapolate on themselves. On “1001″, he asks, “Why do we want something more? / Why do we want to always be in control?” Be it purely self-analyzing or filling in the blanks on past endeavors’ demises, Russin leaves it to you to wonder out loud. “So why do I try / When I can sit back and watch it die?,” he later questions with even greater existential enormity on the subject of sincerity on “Perfect”. “Distraction” is more so blunt in its attempts to make sense out of intention in lieu of actual longing.
Propping up Glitterer’s weirdness as far up to the surface as possible are Alex Giannascoli, b.n.a. (Sandy) Alex G, and heavy music engineer Nate Rizk (known for his work with Code Orange and Power Trip) who both contribute production to Looking Through the Shades as well. It’s easy to envision one part complimenting the album’s stranger instrumental detours (”Of More Being”, “Wallpaper”) and the other reinforcing small hints of aggression lurking beneath Glitterer’s surface that indicate Russin could very well seamlessly transform many of these songs’ ideas into fully amped and pit-ready post-hardcore anthems if he wanted to (”Two”, ”Anxious Eyes”.) If Looking Through the Shades offers any answers about Ned Russin’s next steps, it’s that he believes questions must be asked in pursuit of progress. Russin seems destined to find his with Glitterer, even if he’s taking a step forward through the dark.

Original SCK unique feature
Ok so there I start my reviews! I will be posting these short paragraphs and then will compile them into something more of volume and comprehension.
So I have been playing the ORIGINAL SCK (OSCK??) - God bless the progressive piracy - and I have noticed something.
In original SCK there is a kind of unique feature of "introductory dialogues". When you meet one of the suspects for the first time you may talk to them about different topics and you will get different answers and different kinds of information.
F.e. with Hal you may talk about Jack, about his career and the way he lives in US and you may take dialogues to different places. Same can be seen in Stay Tuned For Danger, but not as prominent.
Later in games you get the same kind of answers and the same dialogues whatever you say. You just check the phrases off the list, choosing them not really carefully, because you don't care.
In first two games you kinda should!
That just makes the original SCK a little bit more special.

Sometimes the planets align and you are lucky enough to experience something magical – a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I experienced one such moment earlier this week thanks entirely to a special friend. (You know who you are)
Christmas came early and I was fortunate enough to find myself seated next to my friend in the SSE Hydro preparing to watch the Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 25th Anniversary concert. Not only that but Danny Elfman, the composer, was about to reprise his role as the singing voice of Jack Skellington alongside other original cast members.
Now, I appreciate that not all of you may be Tim Burton or Danny Elfman fans….oh…you don’t know what you’re missing!
Ok, I’ll calm the enthusiasm for a second.
For those of you who haven’t seen it, The Nightmare Before Christmas is an animated dark musical fantasy film conceived and produced by Tim Burton. The film is based on a poem written by Tim Burton when he worked as an animator for Disney
  It was late one fall in Halloweenland, And the air had quite a chill. Against the moon a skeleton sat, Alone upon a hill.
He was tall and thin with a bat bow tie; Jack Skellington was his name. He was tired and bored in Halloweenland – Everything was always the same.
“I’m sick of the scaring, the terror, the fright. I’m tired of being something that goes bump in the night. I’m bored with leering my horrible glances, And my feet hurt from dancing those skeleton dances. I don’t like graveyards, and I need something new. There must be more to life than just yelling, ‘Boo!'”
Then out from a grave, with a curl and a twist, Came a whimpering, whining, spectral mist.
It was a little ghost dog, with a faint little bark, And a jack-o’-lantern nose that glowed in the dark.
It was Jack’s dog, Zero, the best friend he had, But Jack hardly noticed, which made Zero sad.
All that night and through the next day, Jack wandered and walked. He was filled with dismay.
Then deep in the forest, just before night, Jack came upon an amazing sight.
Not twenty feet from the spot where he stood Were three massive doorways carved in wood.
He stood before them, completely in awe, His gaze transfixed by one special door.
Entranced and excited, with a slight sense of worry,
Jack opened the door to a white, windy flurry.
Jack didn’t know it, but he’d fallen down In the middle of a place called Christmas Town!
Immersed in the light, Jack was no longer haunted. He had finally found the feeling he wanted. And so that his friends wouldn’t think him a liar, He took the present filled stockings that hung by the fire. He took candy and toys that were stacked on the shelves, And a picture of Santa with all of his elves. He took lights and ornaments and the star from the tree, And from the Christmas Town sign, he took the big letter C.
He picked up everything that sparkled or glowed. He even picked up a handful of snow. He grabbed it all and without being seen, He took it all back to Halloween.
Back in Halloween, a group of Jack’s peers Stared in amazement at his Christmas souvenirs. For this wondrous vision none were prepared. Most were excited, though a few were quite scared!
For the next few days, while it lightninged and thundered, Jack sat alone and obsessively wondered. “Why is it they get to spread laughter and cheer While we stalk the graveyards, spreading panic and fear? Well, I could be Santa, and I could spread cheer! Why does he get to do it year after year?” Outraged by injustice, Jack thought and he thought. Then he got an idea. “Yes…yes…why not!”
In Christmas Town, Santa was making some toys When through the din he heard a soft noise. He answered the door, and to his surprise, He saw weird little creatures in strange disguise. They were altogether ugly and rather petite. As they opened their sacks, they yelled, “Trick or treat!” Then a confused Santa was shoved into a sack And taken to Halloween to see mastermind Jack.
In Halloween everyone gathered once more, For they’d never seen a Santa before And as they cautiously gazed at this strange old man, Jack related to Santa his masterful plan:
“My dear Mr. Claus, I think it’s a crime That you’ve got to be Santa all of the time! But now I will give presents, and I will spread cheer. We’re changing places I’m Santa this year. It is I who will say Merry Christmas to you! So you may lie in my coffin, creak doors, and yell, ‘Boo!’ And please, Mr. Claus, don’t think ill of my plan. For I’ll do the best Santa job that I can.”
And though Jack and his friends thought they’d do a good job, Their idea of Christmas was still quite macabre.
They were packed up and ready on Christmas Eve day When Jack hitched his reindeer to his sleek coffin sleigh. But on Christmas Eve, as they were about to begin, A Halloween fog slowly rolled in.
Jack said, “We can’t leave; this fog’s just too thick. There will be no Christmas, and I can’t be St. Nick.” Then a small glowing light pierced through the fog, What could it be?…It was Zero, Jack’s dog!
Jack said, “Zero, with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
And to be so needed was Zero’s great dream, So he joyously flew to the head of the team.
And as the skeletal sleigh started its ghostly flight, Jack cackled, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
‘Twas the nightmare before Christmas, and all though the house, Not a creature was peaceful, not even a mouse. The stockings all hung by the chimney with care, When opened that morning would cause quite a scare! The children, all nestled so snug in their beds, Would have nightmares of monsters and skeleton heads. The moon that hung over the new-fallen snow Cast an eerie pall over the city below, And Santa Claus’s laughter now sounded like groans, And the jingling bells like chattering bones. And what to their wondering eyes should appear, But a coffin sleigh with skeleton deer. And a skeletal driver so ugly and sick, They knew in a moment, this can’t be St. Nick!
From house to house, with a true sense of joy, Jack happily issued each present and toy. From rooftop to rooftop he jumped and he skipped, Leaving presents that seemed to be straight from a crypt! Unaware that the world was in panic and fear, Jack merrily spread his own brand of cheer.
He visited the house of Susie and Dave; They got a Gumby and Pokey From the grave. Then on to the home of Little Jane Neeman; She got a baby doll Possessed by a demon.
A monstrous train with tentacle tracks, A ghoulish puppet wielding an ax, A man-eating plant Disguised as a wreath, And a vampire teddy bear With very sharp teeth.
There were screams of terror, but Jack didn’t hear it, He was much too involved with his own Christmas spirit! Jack finally looked down from his dark, starry frights And saw the commotion, the noise, and the light. “Why, they’re celebrating, it looks like such fun! They’re thanking me for the good job that I’ve done.” But what he thought were fireworks meant as goodwill, Were bullets and missiles intended to kill. Then amidst the barrage of artillery fire, Jack urged Zero to go higher and higher. And away they all flew like the storm of a thistle, Until they were hit by a well guided missile. And as they fell on the cemetery, way out of sight, Was heard, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.”
Jack pulled himself up on a large stone cross, And from there he reviewed his incredible loss. “I thought I could be Santa, I had such belief…” Jack was confused and filled with great grief. Not knowing where to turn, he looked toward the sky, Then he slumped on the grave and he started to cry. And as Zero and Jack lay crumpled on the ground, They suddenly heard a familiar sound….
“My dear Jack,” said Santa, “I applaud your intent. I know wreaking such havoc was not what you meant. And so you are sad, and feeling quite blue, But taking over Christmas was the wrong thing to do. I hope you realize Halloween’s the right place for you. There’s a lot more, Jack, that I’d like to say, But now I must hurry, for it’s almost Christmas Day.” Then he jumped in his sleigh, and with a wink of an eye, He said, “Merry Christmas!”, and he bid them good-bye.
Back home, Jack was sad, but then, like a dream, Santa brought Christmas to the land of Halloween.
The END

  I love Tim Burton films!
I love Danny Elfman music!
  This was sure to be a night to remember – and it was!
  Both my friend and I were a little unsure of what to expect…..
Below us the stage was prepared for the arrival of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. There were three video screens above the vast stage.
It struck me that I was more accustomed to standing on the rail in front of the stage….not tonight though. This was an entirely seated event. Very civilised.
The show opened with the RSNO playing The Nightmare Before Christmas overture while the screen showed a selection of Tim Burton’s original drawings.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
To cut a long story short, we then watched the film but, when it reached a musical number, this was performed live on stage. Aside from the incredibly talented and animated Danny Elfman, we were entertained by Catherine O’Hara as Sally and Ken Page as Oogie Boogie plus five other vocalists who included comedian Greg Proops (remember him from Whose Line Is it Anyway?)
Like all theatrical performances, there was a short interval at an appropriate moment in the film.
Following the intermission, acclaimed violinist Sandy Cameron was invited on stage to perform the Elfman Violin Concerto. WOW! That’s all I can say…WOW!

When the film ended to rapturous applause, the various performers took their bows then Danny Elfman returned to the stage to treat us to one final number. He performed Oogie Boogie’s song as he’d originally envisaged it in a Cab Calloway style. This performance above all others showcases just what an outstandingly talented entertainer he truly is. Loved it!
  Sadly, all good things have to come to an end….
  How many sleeps till Sandy Claws comes?

Week in New York Theater Reviews
Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus
. “Gary” is a polarizing play. Some who’ve seen it dismiss it as sophomoric, tedious and confusing. Others praise it as clever, funny, and profound. I half-agree with both opinions.   It’s the jarring juxtapositions that make “Gary” feel so original
Zak Ortho, Laurie Metcalf and John Lithgow
Hillary and Clinton
“Hillary and Clinton” is exactly the play we do not need right now,  a well-acted but irrelevant middlebrow entertainment starring Laurie Metcalf and John Lithgow as the presidential candidate and the former president during the campaign for the first Democratic primary of the 2008 election…
Eva Noblezada as Eurydice, Andre De Shields as Hermes, Reeve Carney as Orpheus
Hadestown
On Broadway, as Off, Hadestown is a hell of a musical. But it’s changed….What made Hadestown most thrilling remains – the delightful score, which mixes sweet and sexy folk, rocking jazz, and exquisite blues. And there are some improvements. There is now a sharper clarity to the tale,
Socrates
Michael Stuhlbarg does a magnificent job in his performance as Socrates to convince us how infuriating it must have been to be around this “greatest thinker” who questioned everybody and everything
Burn This
Can a Star Wars villain and a Soviet spy find love, sex and happiness together on Broadway?
That’s the question we’re primed to ask in the first Broadway revival of Lanford Wilson’s 1987 play Burn This, thanks to the steamy poster of the show’s stars Adam Driver and Keri Russell.

New York Theater Awards 2019: Calendar and Guide
Dominique Morisseau on Awards Season I want to say something about awards. About our entire obsession with them as an industry. In that we allow ourselves to be knighted and un-knighted by opinions and popularity contests. That we all inhale the glue. I wish we wouldn’t do that. I’ve been running from this type of shit since high school. That strange validation from others. It takes a lot of stamina and inner power not to do that when everyone around you is doing it for you. But if you can just be still. Focus. And stay in committed union with the work… We will always have something to celebrate. There will never be a greater A-ward, than the RE-ward of doing the important, life-changing, life-saving, soul-restoring work that we have the power to do.

Thursday round-up
Amy Howe analyzes yesterday’s oral argument in Kisor v. Wilkie, in which the justices considered whether to overrule precedents that require courts to defer to a federal agency’s reasonable interpretation of its own regulations, for this blog, in a post that first appeared at Howe on the Court; she reports that the justices were “deeply divided in a case in which their ruling could have implications not only for veterans but also for other areas of the law ranging from the environment to immigration.” For The New York Times, Adam Liptak reports that the argument centered on “whether to cut back the power of administrative agencies, a central goal of the conservative legal movement,” and that “[t]he issue may seem technical, but there was little question that the justices viewed it as momentous.” Greg Stohr and Jennifer Dlouhy report at Bloomberg that “[t]he high court debate was an unusually lopsided one in which neither lawyer gave a full-throated defense of the 1997 ruling.” At The National Law Journal (subscription or registration required), Tony Mauro offers four takeaways from the argument. Additional coverage comes from Mark Walsh at Education Week’s School Law Blog and Ellen Gilmer at E&E News.
The court issued one opinion yesterday, ruling 6-2 in Lorenzo v. Securities and Exchange Commission that a defendant can be charged with violating federal law barring fraudulent securities schemes if he distributed, but did not make, false statements. Ronald Mann analyzes the opinion for this blog. For The Wall Street Journal, Brent Kendall reports that the “ruling provided a boost for the SEC after it had lost a string of high court cases in recent years that crimped how the agency brought cases.” Additional coverage comes from Andrew Chung at Reuters.
At The Daily Signal, Hans von Spakovsky and Elizabeth Slattery weigh in on the two partisan-gerrymandering cases that were argued this week, Rucho v. Common Cause and Lamone v. Benisek, urging the court to “hold that political gerrymandering, while perhaps unwise and in some instances unfair, is not a constitutional concern and instead is a political thicket the federal courts should not enter.” At the Election Law Blog, Nicholas Stephanopolous questions some justices’ emphasis during the arguments on the idea of proportional representation, explaining that “[f]irst, proportional representation is an entirely inappropriate benchmark for an electoral system like ours[, a]nd second, none of the Rucho or Lamone plaintiffs’ proposals would actually require proportionality” – instead, they are “rooted in the quite different concept of partisan symmetry.”
Briefly:
Sandi Zellmer has this blog’s analysis of Tuesday’s opinion in Sturgeon v. Frost, in which the court held that a federal law bars the National Park Service from exercising regulatory control over the Nation River in Alaska because the river is not “public land” under the statute.
At The World and Everything in It (podcast), Mary Reichard discusses the oral arguments in Virginia House of Delegates v. Bethune-Hill, an appeal by Republican legislators of a lower-court ruling that requires 11 state legislative districts to be redrawn to correct racial gerrymandering, and Smith v. Berryhill, which asks whether dismissal as untimely of a Supplemental Security Income claimant’s request for review is a final decision subject to judicial review.
In an op-ed for The New York Times, Linda Greenhouse surveys the array of abortion-related cert petitions seeking Supreme Court review, observing that “[r]ed states are competing with one another to enact abortion restrictions that, while flagrantly unconstitutional under current law, could provide opportunities for the newly composed Supreme Court to reopen the issue.”
At CNN, Joan Biskupic provides adapted excerpts from her new book about Chief Justice John Roberts; one excerpt focuses on a career marked by “perfect timing,” here, and one charts the chief justice’s views on race, “one area of the law where he is likely to remain uncompromising,” here.
At Justia’s Verdict blog, Sherry Colb writes that Ramos v. Louisiana, in which the court will decide whether the Sixth Amendment guarantee of a unanimous jury in a criminal case applies to the states, will turn in part on “the role that unanimity plays in a criminal trial.”
We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast, or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!
The post Thursday round-up appeared first on SCOTUSblog.

One month later, Las Vegas massacre is still a mystery
Tumblr media

The shattered windows were boarded up weeks ago, and the crime scene across the street largely cleared of the shoes, bags and other personal effects left behind when thousands of concertgoers ran for their lives.
But one month after Stephen Paddock unleashed a hail of bullets onto the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival from the windows of his 32nd floor suite at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, killing 58 people and injuring more than 540 in the worst mass shooting in the nation’s recent history, the investigation of the crime seems frozen in time.
After weeks of interviewing the lone gunman’s family and associates and combing through his two homes and belongings for clues, police appear to be no closer to understanding why Paddock, a 64-year-old real estate investor and avid gambler with no record of mental illness, political or religious extremism, became a mass killer. Or if they are, they aren’t saying.
The lack of understanding makes a sharp contrast to Tuesday’s car attack in New York City, and numerous other mass killings in recent years, which have clear ideological or religious motives.
It’s been more than two weeks since officials with the Las Vegas police and the FBI briefed the public, bringing an abrupt stop to the flow of information about the case. Until then, investigators had been unusually forthcoming, holding frequent news conferences in the days after the shooting. They released video from police body cameras and put forward police officers who told harrowing accounts of responding to the scene and closing in on the hotel room from which Paddock had unleashed his horror.
But then there were a series of missteps, including the release of a timeline of the shooting that turned out to be wrong. The last time Las Vegas Sheriff Joe Lombardo, who has been the face of the investigation, spoke publicly about the case was Oct. 13, when he went before reporters to correct a comprehensive timeline of the shooting he had released previously.
Tumblr media

But in doing so, Lombardo only raised more questions about his department’s handling of the investigation. A month later, it’s still unclear why it took officers 12 minutes after the shooting began to reach the 32nd floor, where the gunman’s suite was located, and why it took more than an hour for cops to enter the room after the shooting had stopped.
And one of the biggest mysteries continues to be what communication there were, if any, between police and Mandalay Bay. Paddock had shot a security guard who approached his room, on an unrelated call, just before he began shooting out the window. Jesus Campos, the wounded security guard, told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, in his only public interview, that he immediately radioed hotel security that he had been shot. But it’s still unclear how or if casino officials communicated that information to the police.
According to the latest timeline released in the case, Campos first discovered something was amiss on the 32nd floor around 9:59 pm that night when he found a stairwell door near Paddock’s room barricaded by a metal bar. At the time, Campos later told authorities, he heard the sounds of what he thought was a power drill, which he found unusual. He went back to the 31st floor and took another route up to the 32nd floor.
As Campos approached room 135, where Paddock was staying, the gunman, who had been monitoring the hallway outside his room with a baby monitor set up on a room service cart, suddenly shot through the door, spraying hundreds of bullets and wounding the guard on the leg. It was 10:05 pm, roughly the time police believe Paddock began shooting across the street toward the site of the Route 91 festival.

(Photo: Michael Rozman/Warner Bros./AP)
Though Campos and a hotel maintenance worker who had also arrived on the floor both radioed word of the shooting, police apparently didn’t identify where the shots were coming from for several minutes. According to the timeline, police reached the 31st floor at 10:12pm, where officers reported that shots were coming from the floor above them. They finally reached the 32nd floor at 10:17 pm—two minutes after Paddock stopped shooting. Police did not breach Paddock’s room until 11:20 pm—over an hour later—where they found him dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police originally said Campos interrupted the shooting, bringing the deadly rampage to a stop. But now they say Paddock stopped firing on his own. Why? It’s one of the many enduring mysteries of the case—and one that Lombardo has said may never be answered.
But in recent days, there have been more mysteries. This week, Lombardo confirmed to the Las Vegas Review Journal that police are investigating how an officer “accidentally” fired his gun inside Paddock’s suite after it was breached—though he said it was not in the room where the gunman’s body was found.
At the same time, unnamed law enforcement officials told the New York Times and Associated Press that a hard drive was missing from at least one of the laptops recovered from Paddock’s hotel room, further complicating their efforts to uncover a motive in the case. It’s unclear if the hard drive was simply missing or if it was destroyed—a move that would mimic the actions of other mass killers like Adam Lanza, who removed and smashed his computer hard drives before he massacred more than a dozen people at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., in 2012.

Another enduring mystery is Marilou Danley, the gunman’s longtime girlfriend, who was visiting family in the Philippines when Paddock carried out his rampage. Officials quickly described her as a “person of interest” in the case, in part because Paddock reportedly wired her $100,000 in the days before the shooting. In a statement released by her attorney, Danley, who returned to the U.S. on Oct. 3, insisted she knew nothing of Paddock’s plans and said she believed the money he sent her was “a way of breaking up with me.”
Danley was questioned by the FBI on Oct. 4 in Los Angeles, where her daughter lives. But it’s unclear if she is still cooperating with the investigation or what she has told authorities. Her attorney did not respond to a request for comment. Las Vegas police officials have referred questions about her to the FBI, which has also repeatedly declined to comment. But Lombardo has expressed skepticism that Paddock could have assembled his arsenal of guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition without notice. The sheriff has also said he believes Paddock, who had explosive material and more ammunition in his car, intended to survive the massacre and escape—though he has not explained how he might have carried that off.
The Clark County Coroner has completed the autopsy on Paddock—though the agency and police have declined to elaborate on what, if anything, was found except to say there was no obvious abnormalities of his brain. Paddock’s brain was scheduled to be sent this week to a laboratory at Stanford University, where doctors will perform further forensic analysis, including tissue testing, to look for neurological problems—though medical experts have said it’s unlikely that will provide an explanation for the rampage.
While Las Vegas officials say they will again brief the public on the case when there is something new to report, some revelations could come through civil lawsuits against Paddock’s estate and the casino’s parent company, MGM Resorts. At least two suits have been filed so far, including one class action case representing 10 victims.
Tumblr media

Among other things, the suits have sought to uncover information from Mandalay Bay, which has repeatedly declined to comment citing the ongoing investigation. The victims want access to hotel records, including video, which might offer clues about Paddock’s stay. He checked into the casino on Sept. 25—nearly a week before the attack—and witnesses have told police they saw him playing video poker and around the casino. Police have said they believe he left the casino and returned to his home in Mesquite, Nev., about 90 minutes west of Las Vegas, at least once that week and may have visited other casinos on the strip.
A point of interest is how Paddock got his arsenal up to his room and whether hotel staff, including housekeeping, sensed anything was amiss. In an interview with 60 Minutes, responding officers said Paddock’s room was filled with weapons and gear.  “It just looked almost like a gun store,” Dave Newton, one of the officers told CBS. There were “all kinds of monitors and electrical equipment …a few phones …a couple of laptops. A lot of drills, drill bits, all kinds of tools.”
Lombardo has already said there were no cameras near Paddock’s room—only near the elevator banks down the hall. But officers have said they found evidence that the gunman had been drilling holes in the wall—including one near the front door of his suite—raising questions about his intents and whether staff or other guests reported hearing the noise of power tools in Paddock’s room or in the hallway, where he barricaded the door.
On Tuesday, attorneys and legal experts for the victims gained access to the Route 91 site for the first time, walking the grounds from which personal belongings have been removed, but the concert stage and other fixtures have been left untouched in the month since the shooting. They are expected to gain access to Paddock’s suite at Mandalay Bay in coming days.
Tumblr media

Among the lawyers walking the grounds was Craig Eiland, an attorney representing Rachel Shepard, a 26-year-old California women who was shot three times, including in the chest, on that Sunday night. It was a “miracle,” her attorney said, that she lived. And now she wants to know how this could have happened.
“This is about answers first,” Eiland told reporters on Tuesday at the scene. “How did it happen? And what can be done to prevent it from happening again?”

Short ND game review: STFD
Stay tuned for Danger
Plot: ND heads to NY city bc local soap opera soap-er star is getting death threats - boy would she make a career nowdays.
Tumblr media
Characteristics: Really good atmosphere and character depth we got here, an effective culprit as well, the game lets you be a detective for once. BUT. A huge BUTT. The whole gameplay is cheesy, wonky and at times stupid and irrelevant. A bootleg Life is Strange prequel - Nancy is expected to do some stuff WAAAY before the danger situation... wait...
Tumblr media
Usually I do not provide spoilers but.
THE FUCKING BOMB SEGMENT FUCK FUCK FUCK AND FUCK AGAIN I HATE HATE HATE IT.
Tumblr media
MANY REASONS
The solution to the bomb puzzle - which is in Rick's room - is located IN MATTIE'S ROOM.
The solution is THE COLORS OF THE MARKINGS ON MATTIE'S SCRIPT
You may not FIND THE SCRIPT AT ALL
And if you do you may not know that YOU CAN TURN PAGES ON IT SINCE THE GAME LETS YOU DO SO ONLY ON teeeeny tiiiiny corner of the screen
AND IF YOU DO YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GUESS THAT ONE THING IS RELATED TO ANOTHER - LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!!
If you do not have a screwdriver from the stage room - you are screwed (pun totally inteded)
If you didn't get the plyers from the prop room - you are also screwed
And if you didn't get plyers AND a door knob you are EXTRA screwed! If you played the game you sure know why.
And the biggest fucking pet peeve of mine. If you played other ND games before you are really getting used to danger segment solution being somewhere within the danger segment/the danger segment won't activate until you got everything prepared. That means that ND players who completed other later games probably WON'T EVEN CONSIDER LOOKING AROUND THE STUDIO FOR TOOLS - JUST LIKE FUCKING DID.
This segment is fucking scary in russian dub and it gave me nightmares for fucking years
THIS IS THE WORST PUZZLE EVER DESIGNED IN HISTORY OF WORST PUZZLE DESIGNS
Total score: 18,8/25. Would recommend only if you know beforehand about this bomb fucking segment
