Right, who has seen this? I read the book and really enjoyed it, and have always wanted to see the film. Weirdly, my sister has it. But it doesn’t look that great. On the plus side, Scott Glenn ❤️ and Ian McKellen ❤️❤️ are in it. How bad can it be? pic.twitter.com/uvXS6EstbJ

I have seen it. I thought it was ok. I watched it around 1984, on satellite at my grandparents’ place. Standard 1980s horror fare.

Today, that’d be mutual harassment and prohibited. The algorithm says no, and so do the liberals and feminists.
What a world.

The body language is a result of the effort to prevent the other guy from being able to take the knife easily. Of course, in reality one should only draw a weapon the very moment one intends to use it. This is what real murderers and contract killers do. The reason should be obvious.
This guy is just showing off pointlessly. But he understands the biggest risk of pulling out a weapon: someone tougher and bolder and more of a sociopath than you takes it from you and then uses it on you.

Such a great set-up and scene.
when i was young and optimistic, i thought we were evolving towards a chill, "post-affluent" society. instead, we've built a thunderdome of brutal status competition fueled by artificial scarcities.

That’s what we all thought during the 1990s. It was a very optimistic time where everything seemed to be getting better.
We were so very wrong. But it felt vastly different in ways that are difficult to describe now and it all seems a bit unreal. But it happened. I was there and I remember it well.
