No packing .......at funerals?
20-year-old mistaken as teen’s killer shot to death at memorial event, Texas cops say Chacour Koop Mon, May 3, 2021, 7:22 PM
A 20-year-old was shot at a memorial for a slain Texas teen after he was mistakenly identified as the killer, police say.
Norman Christopher Collier IV, 22, is accused of shooting Kolby Graham during a “balloon release” in DeSoto, a Dallas suburb, police say. He was charged Friday with capital murder.
Collier’s younger brother, 19-year-old Camran Collier, had been fatally shot in his car April 22, and Graham was “mistakenly identified” as the killer in social media posts in the days following the shooting, police say.
After Graham was shot in the head at the memorial on April 25, “none of the participants who witnessed this shooting came forward to police with information about the identity of the shooter,” police said.
However, as police continued investigating, they identified Collier as the suspect, saying he “mistakenly believed the internet rumors about the identity of his brother’s killer” and “took revenge against the wrong man.”
Graham’s mother, Tamaka Graham, told KTVT she’ll never forget her son’s final words.
“He said, ‘Momma, remember I don’t have nothing against nobody — it won’t be me, it will be them.’”
Collier remains in Dallas County jail on $1 million bond.
“We believe if this information about Kolby being the shooter of Camran had not been so passed on and gone viral on social media he would not even shot,” Cpl. Pete Schulte told KTVT.
DeSoto police have not announced an arrest in Camran Collier’s death.

That centipede movie? Actually, I was thinking of SOYLENT GREEN. SOYLENT GREEN is people... and after other people have eaten it, what do they end up doing? They shit it out again... hence the shitty end for the people SOYLENT GREEN is made out of. PS - Never seen that other film, but I've heard of it.

I gotta figure, if they remade Soylent Green.......and wanted to really be green, they show the sewer systems retrieving the human waste to be turned into even more Soylent.
I've seen Soylent Green....... I was actually kinda OK with the voluntary suicide bit...........but Centipede? Never wanted to see it........sorta like that 2 Girls and a Cup video. No, thanks

SOYLENT GREEN is an absolute classic. That other one is exhibit A at the director's committal hearing to a psychiatric facility.

are you a Horror buff, by chance?
I've come to the conclusion that the genre today has morphed into more of a gore-fest than anything. Hostel? and similar movies? I could go to work at a slaughterhouse if I wanted to be in on ALL the gory details of murder and dismembering.

I don't mind a good horror film, I don't even mind a little incidental gore and violence that moves the story forwards, but it really comes down to the characters and plot. Excessive, mindless gore just for the sake of excessive mindless gore bores the piss out of me. One of my all time favourites is THE FOG by John Carpenter. I think he got the balance between all the competing influences just right.

great example........simple plot, the movie could have used one or two better edited spots.......but overall? Nice
The remake years later was horrible despite better CGI capabilities.

For me personally, I think CGI should be used sparingly and mostly to polish and smooth out any awkward or embarrassing signs of physical effects. The sight of hundreds, if not thousands, of real people parachuting out of an enormous convoy of aircraft in A BRIDGE TOO FAR, sends fucking chills down my spine. By comparison, the sight of hundreds, if not thousands, of CGI characters fighting in an enormous battle in an MCU film just doesn't do that much for me.
