Fair warning, this one is fairly ridiculous...and explicit
Basically just me goofing around and reskinning adult scenes with more interesting details again
If nothing else, it completes my "Average Butt Wednesday Trilogy " (credit to @yorinsmenagerie for the character name)
(And thank you @TheRogueA1 for the help with seasonal employment...I think?)

@Drumdums@DanteOnDeck Batman and Robin is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. To simplify say "I don't like it" does not accurately communicate the levels of pure dog-shit that the movie sinks to.
Qualifiers are often necessary, bro
@doctor_chain@X Might as well get comfortable. As with anything related to this topic, it's gonna be a long wait for any kind of reply
(Too cynical? Feels a bit cynical)
In the same way that Texas Chainsaw plants the flag but doesn't quite fit the entire mold (no stalking, lack of focus on kills, etc), Black Christmas similarly plants its own flag but doesn't quite fit the entire mold either by not having a centralized, identifiable, mythic masked killer, and has a less cleanly refined final girl template (which Texas does have).
Both movies are almost there enough to require mention, and both Texas and Black Christmas have the entire formula combined, but Halloween puts it all together in the format that became so easy to replicate afterwards (franchise defining masked killer as a recognizable "boogeyman" figure, refined final girl stereotype, stalking, focus on kills, group picked off one by one across a multi-layered environment, etc)
@Wokey386579@CathodeCoaster I appreciate your openness too, even if we don't fully agree.
It's very refreshing for a twitter interaction.
And you're right, I don't think conservativism is the apotheosis of horror either
It has historically been manufactured and upheld by people from all cultural and political leanings. That is the very real and complex stew that the horror genre is. For every Shelly there is a Lovecraft, for every King there is a Blatty
Stephen King himself (since you brought him up) describes the horror story being "as conservative as an Illinois Republican in a three-piece pin-striped suit"
Now, I'm not bringing that up to suggest that horror is one thing or another. Just showing an example of that complexity...And with something that complex, I don't feel it hypocritical to embrace or reject certain aspects of that complexity for the sake of individual tastes.
But, if we're being honest with ourselves, we should at least admit that these varied and sometimes opposing ingredients do exist within the whole, co-operatively, as essential foundational pillars
@Wokey386579@CathodeCoaster Anyone claiming that horror "belongs" to one political or cultural side has to ignore so much content within the genre in order to make the argument stick.
It's to such an extreme level that their very horror cred should be dismissed out of hand
Here's another quick Ed Lesson (for those interested in this stuff)
***SFW (other than the opening...phrasing?)
The AI haters are right about one thing: AI acting isn't always the greatest yet. They basically just blurt out everything you tell them to as quickly as possible.
But there's no reason you can't give a subpar clip a little breathing room and dramatic pacing yourself.
First pass: stick an environment clip in the middle...all the dramatic pause you need
Second pass: Give it some new background audio so that each clip sounds like they belong to the same place you're standing in.
Third pass: Boost the dialogue, add a slow zoom to differentiate your moments, and you're ready to rock.
(I also added what it should look like in Davinci just to show that it's not overly complex)
