Don't know God of War though.<br />@Titania: Oh, very cute movie<br />@Jen: wow, 25 episodes, I will try to check it out.<br />@Paul: I love Lovecrafts eleborate ways of describing things. He can create a scary atmosphere without actually telling you what it is that is so scary, much like they do in a good horror movie.Sullivan McPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133432350331782496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521103169839935027.post-88429395982718499292010-05-15T20:28:09.666+02:002010-05-15T20:28:09.666+02:00"Without knowing what futurism is like, Johan..."Without knowing what futurism is like, Johansen achieved something very close to it when he spoke of the city; for instead of describing any definite structure or building, he dwells only on broad impressions of vast angles and stone surfaces - surfaces too great to belong to anything right or proper for this earth, and impious with horrible images and hieroglyphs."<br /><br />It's been a while since reading Lovecraft. Man, he could go on in the most wonderfully pulpy and lurid tangents of description. Obviously not as great as Poe, but he could really get across a vividness.<br /><br />That picture freaks me out.Paul Stilwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446241126728692642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521103169839935027.post-74303968723532839352010-05-15T20:07:56.560+02:002010-05-15T20:07:56.560+02:00I haven't read any of Lovecraft's work, bu...I haven't read any of Lovecraft's work, but I think I really need to at some point because I do keep running into references to Cthulu. Most notably for me was in Stephen King's short story, "N." I read it in his collection, "Just After Sunset." Reading your descriptions, I have a better idea of where King was coming from. Here's a link to a video based on that story, if you're interested. I haven't worked up the nerve to watch it yet. :-)<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXwZYc3fyLkJen at Introverted Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04804424405257091608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2521103169839935027.post-35018126215663986022010-05-15T19:05:44.164+02:002010-05-15T19:05:44.164+02:00Have you seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/w...Have you seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOHJUrcVdJk It's super cute. <br /><br />I love the comic strip!

And I love the excerpt; it really helped me see the place, too.<br /><br />My little brother says the first picture looks like a cross between <i>God of War</i> (a video game) and the latest <i>Clash of the Titans</i>. =P<br /><br />Thanks for linking up, Sully!Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
