The Burrowers: Western Meets Horror

This is probably one of my favorite horror movies that I have seen yet to date in terms of seeing something new with horror. I loved this movie- and it was due to purely its concept. Not only does it address it's racism of the time and doesn't try to avoid it with both African American's and Native Americans- but actually addresses it. Without spoiling anything because I encourage anyone who is a fan of monster movies to watch it, my favorite part was just the attention to detail on all the characters and the reaction. No one is doing western horror. I have no idea why because there is so much that can be done with the concept and it is such a time of discovery and bandits and really hits home with those who grew up watching those old spaghetti western that could really speak to an older audience. I just think it is amazing. Like Red Dead Redemption the game had such a wide reception that I think that it is a genre that isn't really addressed in the more modern literature that honestly.

I believe we will implement chips that make automation easier as well as contacts and or glasses that make it. Gaming will be pushed to more of an incorporation of everyday life and becomes even a further form of e...

Bloodchild Questions

1. What was your reaction to what you just read? Well I guess I am left in awe a bit. Like it is a feeling of dread and yet at the same time it is a feeling of complacence. Like the whole being used as a breading ground is interesting because it seems there is a bond that is formed between the Tlic and those Terrans who become N'Tlic. Like it is a survival thing on both ends and all highly political. Like I agree with Gan that if this is the process it should be normalized so that it isn't so shocking in the end. Yes, it is private but Terran's should know what they are getting into. Like the Terrans need the Tlic to survive and thrive this world. I don't know. I think there should be repercussions put in place that assure that the N'Tlic have a successful birth, and punishment for those Tlic who fail at that. I don't know it is like a story taking place in the beginning of modern human medicine now adays. Like some people die and with those deaths comes advan...
