Added 2023-02-25 18:13:18 +0000 UTCAndrzej Żuławski: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, I call this the tale of the possession
William Peter Blatty: alright sounds like my kinda story!
Blatty: [rubbing hands together in anticipation] things bout to get real catholic in here!
Żuławski: no
Żuławski: so imagine
Żuławski: just imagine the two most extra people that you can imagine
King: ok
King: ok I’ve got that in my head
Żuławski: ok
Żuławski: now imagine they were married
Żuławski: in fact
Żuławski: forget about those two people
Żuławski: just imagine that everyone in the world was extremely extra
Żuławski: just the most extra
Żuławski: ok so this story is a metaphorical psychodrama about a disintegrating marriage
Lovecraft: i-is the squid monster real tho
Żuławski: no that’s a metaphor
Barker: is sam neill’s camel toe real tho
Żuławski:
Żuławski: that’s a gray area
Żuławski: ok so first it’s a tense psychodrama
Żuławski: but then it’s a Lovecraftian monster pastiche
Żuławski: now I’m bored with that, I want some action! Spies! Car chases! Explosions!
Żuławski: [mimicking gun with fingers] pew pew Pew Pew!
Żuławski: so this woman’s marriage is falling apart
Żuławski: so she starts moving like she’s doing interpretive modern dance
Żuławski: pretty much just the Sprockets dance
Żuławski: like all the time
Żuławski: so she starts cutting herself with an electric knife and smashing up the apartment
Patricia Highsmith: heh, that’s dames for ya
Highsmith: can’t live with ‘em
Highsmith: can’t replace ‘em with a perfect doppelganger!
Żuławski: you know how it is when you get divorced?
Żuławski: so you just start acting like a total deranged freak?
King: I wouldn’t know about that
Żuławski: naw c’mon guys back me up here
Żuławski: you know how it is
Żuławski: when you get divorced
Żuławski: and then just absolutely lose your mind
[meanwhile]
