It's kind of disturbing in movies when really young kids are really distressed. Like when they're obviously no older than 4 years old and they're frrrreaking the fuck out - it doesn't seem possible that they could be acting so convincingly hysterical, panicked, and terrified.
I just saw the movie Red State, where there was a scene w/ a bunch of kids in a besieged religious commune being told by a bloodied woman w/ a gun that government agents wanted to kill them. All the kids were crying and acting afraid, but one little girl who looked 2-3 or maybe 4 was screaming her head off, thrashing in the arms of the woman who was holding her. She sounded like an animal being tortured, and it was too real to be child acting.
Infants don't need an excuse to lose their shit (I often wonder if someone pinches infant actors to get them to cry) and older kids can lose themselves in their character's feelings, but what do they do to get some toddlers to be so out of their minds w/ angst and horror?

btw, But not if it might get you I subscribed from the emails. was supposed to say "unsubscribed" not "I subscribed" - thumb typing/auto-correct problem there.

i can't believe i missed the chili cook-off synth party AGAINit was last night ;_;
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Monday, 20 February 2012 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
I believe the show starts at 8 and we're playing first. We're playing in Logan Square again in March with some cool people if you don't make it tonight.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 20 February 2012 17:29 (twelve years ago) link
oh starts at 9 tonight not 8

the music space at the burlington is surprisingly nice. they have a little room in the back that's maybe about the size of the music room at the hideout or maybe a little smaller, with a good PA. lead singer from the ponys was doing sound last night. don't know why they don't have more/better shows there.

How did it go?
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 21 February 2012 16:50 (twelve years ago) link
I really liked the Burlington the one time I was there, but I had no idea there was a back room.
― Ascot Fitzgerald (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 16:54 (twelve years ago) link
show was good. best on-stage sound we've had, which helps a lot.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 21 February 2012 17:09 (twelve years ago) link
Yay! I'm glad!
I should have come out, as much sleep as I got last night.

Ugh, if this #lightscape installation on State street means getting U2 blasted at me while I walk down the street all March then count me out.

i always wonder about this building when my train passes it on the way home:http://maps.google.com/maps?q=10+e.+lake+chicago&hl=en&ll=41.885753,-87.62735&spn=0.004489,0.005836&sll=41.886073,-87.627375&layer=c&cbp=13,3.08,,0,4.95&cbll=41.885754,-87.627175&gl=us&hnear=10+E+Lake+St,+Chicago,+Illinois+60601&t=m&z=17&iwloc=A&panoid=JMg1ElK0wyCpG1fM2FE9BAit's so little and dumpy and looks to be closed up but it's right in the middle of the loop, right by clark/lake. so weird.

Per my fake research, it may be a comed substation?

i’ve always been fascinated by that building too! still prefer to think it’s the headquarters of a secret society
― 1staethyr, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 23:10 (twelve years ago) link
well, i'm sure the substation is only a cover for the masonic temple buried underneath it

No, that's the shelter at the Clark and Lake El stop.
I just got into an argument with a coworker who claimed that The Dark Half was a much better movie than The Shining because it is more believable. I normally don't argue about these kinds of things but COME ON.
He then went on to say that he believes there will be a zombie outbreak in our lifetimes because of scientists messing around with viruses. He's very religious and subscribes to an extremely literal Christian eschatology (if you can wring some literal sense out of Revelation, then more power to you, I guess) so he was not just fucking with me. He's told me all about how the world will be naught but concrete with no grass anywhere, and how he's sorry that I won't be in heaven when it happens.

― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Thursday, 23 February 2012 15:33 (twelve years ago) link
Nope. I used the big internet for that one.
― carl agatha, Thursday, 23 February 2012 15:33 (twelve years ago) link
FTR I'm more appalled at his opinions on The Dark Half than I am about his Armageddonophilia.
― carl agatha, Thursday, 23 February 2012 15:35 (twelve years ago) link
i am appalled at his people skills, not his beliefs necessarily
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Thursday, 23 February 2012 15:35 (twelve years ago) link
He's not the first coworker to lament my hellbound status right to my face. I don't even go around squawking about being an atheist or anything. The most I'll say out loud is that I'm not religious (and only then in response to people asking me where I go to church or whether I'll go to bible study with them or something), and I make a real effort to be neutral and respectful if people want to talk about religion at work, but I guess something about me just screams "I AM QUIETLY MOCKING YOUR FAITH."

That's awful! I have been mocked openly for having a dog instead of kids on more than one occasion though.
