What do you see when you look at a painting? The image, the brush strokes, the stippled canvas beneath? What if you looked beyond it? And what do you know about the person who created that picture that’s hanging on your wall? They say art requires a certain acceptable degree of madness. What secrets then lie beyond the pigment in the darkness between depiction and delusion?
Herein you’ll find stories about self-destructive lovers on a quest to find themselves while getting lost in each other (“Sometimes They See Me”), meet a man who wakes to find himself bound to a chair in a gallery of nightmarish paintings (“The Binding”), discover how one horrific act converts a child’s grief into artistic talent in “The Portrait”, witness the unveiling of an art collector’s most precious and macabre find in “The Acquisition”, visit a comic book store with a pair of thieves intent on robbing a man they don’t know is expecting them (“The Barbed Lady Wants for Nothing”), and read a roadie’s account of a band’s final days after they discover “The Amp.”
Inspired by Rod Serling’s NIGHT GALLERY, GRIM PORTRAITS features six stories of art, madness, and horror by Bram Stoker Award-winning author Kealan Patrick Burke.

261·8 days agoTo anyone not switching because of this-- in my experience this is something I can work around. On most websites my captchas still work. I have had a few that dont work, and I just close the website and move on. It hasn’t happened on any websites that are very important for me to visit. Usually its a store and they really me to install their stupid app. Nope.

Global News@lemmy.zip•Need a new house? Order online from China for less than $25,000English
2·8 days agoYep, I was thinking if you’re getting a lot that is already set up for a mobile home then its at least comparable. But if you’re just getting some land, then yes for sure. Maybe if you’re doing this to extend capacity on an existing property. Then you’re running into permits and re-evaluations of property taxes.

So a comparison to mobile homes because I was curious. This one is 1 br, 1 bath, 50.7 sq m = 546 sq ft and $40k on sale.
Above is 71.5 sq m = 770 sq ft.
So its larger and cheaper than a 1 br. Mobile home. This could be a solution to lack of housing in some places (lower density places where you can get land or a lot). But unless there is financing available (unlikely that banks would cooperate on this) them its going to end up being only a novelty in the US.
I didn’t think I’d have a problem with his bit given how much I liked the movie, but it definitely hits different today.
He lost me when he first started ramping up and suggested a means of control was to make us feel small and insignificant. I don’t feel that way. In fact, I feel the opposite. I’m not in a position to fix the worlds problems, but I see the influence of my will in the external world all the time. So that part felt a little gasslight-ey. Double that with knowing he goes on to build a huge platform and does absolute evil shit with it – you absolutely cannot tell me my quiet influcce is insignificant. Fuck you(AJ) dude. Also, felt like he’s projecting there, which is pretty modus a operandi for Jonesey – but maybe thats coded by my knowledge of his story since this clip.
Also, I am personally very intolerant of people hollering at me. So that didn’t help, but I did think the color changes in his face were hilarious additions to the animation. That animation made it worth finishing the clip. Lol
It has been so long since I watched, I totally don’t remember his bit at all. I learned of the connection on an episode of Behind the Bastards podcast. As soon as they mentioned it, I can totally hear his voice in it even though I don’t remember what he says. Apparently back then it was not super clear what a terrible person he would become, and he was a key figure in the “Keep Austin Weird” part of Austin TX. So it all kinda makes sense in context.

Did y’all know Alex Jones is in this movie? Look under cast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waking_Life
Great movie. I actually had a few lucid dreams after it. I attribute it to stress combined with the influence from this movie and a few other environmental factors.
