OT: Hurricanes Lounge XLVI: Really, It's All About Beer and Bojangles

[Porvari]

Yeah I’m with you, I like some movies that could be characterized as “horror” like Alien, The Shining, but not the ones as you mention that are more torture porn type and the classic stereotype jump scare type stupid horror movies where the main characters are always just oblivious idiots and they all seem to have the same basic elements just repeated over and over again.

My brief peak at Garland's works I saw what stood out most was the 28 days later series which I only saw the first one once when it came out but my recollection is it fit that latter description. And then most his other movies I don't know anything about except they are listed as horror genre. But yeah if I get some time maybe I'll check his stuff out.

Ex Machina is actually on my list of movies to watch that I haven't seen yet so I'll probably start with that one. Annihilation cast intrigues me although the plot not so much but if I like Ex Machina I'll give that one a look.

Another Garland film worth checking out is Dredd, which he wrote and apparently also de facto directed. Judge Dredd in a Die Hard scenario, what's not to like? One of my absolute favourite movies.

Just a friendly reminder, even if you are in your 30s or 40s, make sure you get regular health check-ups. A cousin in his early 40s never thought to get a colonoscopy, and was found to have colon cancer 2 years ago. Thankfully, he's recovered. My best friend (in his 50s) didn't got to the doctor for a long time, and when he did a year and a half ago, found out he had very advanced prostate cancer. It was so large and his PSA was so high the doctors were shocked to find out it didn't spread and thankfully, now he's also recovered.

My sister beat breast cancer in her 40s, but last night, she informed me that she has HER2 triple positive breast cancer in her other breast. She gets checked regularly and we hope she caught it early as it's only 0.5 cm in size, but they aren't sure yet if it has spread or not.

My father, who was a mailman that walked 8+ miles a day on the job had a heart attack at 55, but thankfully survived and with quadruple bypass surgery, lived into is 80s before succumbing to a stroke.

You likely can't stop many of the ailments that might affect you, but early detection is key. Get your check-ups and don't let them lapse.

Here here. Mom has Colon cancer and has done well fighting it off so far, my sister is in complete remission after breast cancer 15 years ago, my uncle recently passed after his fourth bout of bladder cancer. He fought for 20 years. All of them caught them early.
