drol 11,946 Posted August 27, 2017 Horror genre was defined by Romero, Hooper, Craven and Carpenter. Now Carpenter is the only one still alive. Among these four Hooper was considered the "minor" one, but he directed at least three masterpieces (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist, Salem's Lot), which put him among the best horror directors ever. Funnily he was the youngest pick in my 150 names list last year, without a reason, but gut feeling. And while Gillo Dorfles and Barys Kit are still going Romero and Hooper are dead. Ironic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breakfast of Champions, or Goodbye Blue Monday, published in 1973, is the seventh novel by the American author Kurt Vonnegut. Suicide, free will, mental illness, and social and economic cruelty are dealt with throughout the novel. The incidents in the life of Wayne Hoobler, a black resident of Midland City, are frequently contrasted with those of the similarly named Dwayne Hoover, emphasizing the aforementioned impact of race. He attributes the mental illness of Dwayne Hoover and society at large to an abundance of "bad chemicals" in the brain which, when combined with bad ideas, formed "the Yin and Yang of madness." This idea, that humans are no more than machines, is contained within the novel Kilgore Trout gives to Dwayne Hoover. "We are collections of elementary particles obeying the laws of physics" – Sean Carroll, physicist (Caltech) "Now Carpenter is the only one still alive. " ??? No one has ever been "alive" because we are collections of elementary particles obeying the laws of physics. Collections of elementary particles obeying the laws of physics cannot be "alive". This is the Frankenstein dilemma: how can a collection of elementary particles obeying the laws of physics be "alive"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprisingly the issue at stake is not the eventual ownership of the farm - that might explain why it never came to your attention. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
