Some background first... I'm a 33-year-old professional male who has been 'partying' since I was 16. I've done it all, or so I thought...
My wife and I tried meth (Ice, Tina) for the first time together. We got it from some gay friends of ours who seemed to really like it, and they also seemed to have their act together, so I felt no fear going into the experience.
I was an educated drug abuser with the psychedelics, psychoactives, booze and pot. I quit drinking 12 years ago, but I still enjoy my escapist hobby of educated drug abuse. My wife, on the other hand, was not as experienced, and she counted on me to tell her how things were supposed to be. I helped with her first 'trip' on X... her first time getting really stoned, etc. But this time, I had ZERO experience to pull from in regards to this new white powdery stuff we had come across.
 So after what felt like STABBING the back of my eyeball a few times, I learned to take this pain for the omen that it was - you're about to take off!!
So my wife and I start out on Friday night with our 1/4 gram, and I begin to cut us each out a line, chopping at it like it was cocaine... I did not know you were supposed to smear it around and THEN chop it up... so needless to say, my wife and I were doing LARGE amounts in each line, and we ran out early Saturday morning... but no worries... we realized that we had been TALKING and SITTING on the couch without moving for anything for almost 17 hours.
Neither of us could recall feeling the ICE kick in, but we could not deny that it had!! And how! We talked about everything... I learned more about my wife from our weekend 'parties' than I ever knew from simple sober conversation. But that wasn't the best part... about 18 hours in to the weekend, after feeling like I had been gipped because I wasn't 'messed' up, I began to understand how the stuff worked.
It also had this amazing affect on both myself and my wife in that it turned us into sex machines. We were not making love, although love was there, we were animalistically having sex for the pure PLEASURE of it. Our conversations became so nasty that we were both embarrassed about it later, but at the time, nothing was too kinky for us. And we did it all. And took pictures. We had no shame.
After a few weekends of doing too much up front, I finally asked our friends how *they* made theirs last all weekend, so he told me to cut out a line like I would have at home, which I did, and he promptly smeared it around and turned the same amount into 4 lines... I was amazed. After learning that little trick, my wife and I would get into the habit of starting as early on Friday as possible, and starting out strong, then talking all that night, then doing more on Saturday some time, and then having the most incredible, XXX-rated, fantasy based, nasty talking sex that we had ever had.
I am a very big guy, and extremely homophobic, but this stuff made me want to be everything from Hetero to Homo to everything in between. Whatever we could think of that might FEEL good was fair game. And the stuff made me a miracle worker in the sack (or on the couch, or in the kitchen...). My wife and I BOTH would experience body paralyzing orgasms from the sex... and we often thought and discussed that it was a GAY drug because of the sexual aspect of it, but we could not believe that they could target JUST the GAY fantasies... that's when we decided it was more of a Hedonistic, no holds barred, if it feels good do it kind of feeling. We became pleasure fiends.
We also learned that the Meth works its magic in a patten... the talking comes first, and is GREAT - we forget to eat, drink, smoke, anything that might make the talking stop... then one of us gets horny, and it begins. The marathon sex sessions we had made me think I was Adonis himself. And they made my wife completely submissive to ANYTHING that might give her an orgasm. We both approached PRIMAL in our attempts to pleasure each other and ourselves.
 We would party about every other weekend, both of us just waiting for the 'sex phase' to begin.
After the great sex, however, the comedown begins immediately. But being the educated drug abuser that I was, I had some experience with 'comedowns'... to me, LSD is the worst, so if you can handle that, you'll be fine with Meth. We patterned our party weekends around the 'phases', making sure that Sundays were free days to lay around the house (a safe place) and be paranoid for a bit as we came down. I knew the best thing was for us to smoke some herb and stay distracted, and it worked like a champ everytime.
My wife would then get up Monday and have a little more in her first cup of coffee to get her going, but not me - too scared to do THAT stuff and go to work. But we never felt super tired or anything... just slightly irritable from not eating for three days, maybe a bit dry of skin and mouth, and that was about it. Two nights after stopping and everything would be back to normal.
I'm still getting used to the way Meth hits me. There is no 'buzz' to speak of like with pot, but eventually I begin to realize that things are different and time has slowed down AND sped up at the same time. My mouth opens and the words just come gushing out. The hours FLY by almost in a scary way, but we were careful to remind ourselves of that so that we could avoid that portion of 'Sketched Out Sunday' as we began to refer to those days.
Neither of us EVER felt as if we had taken too much, and we NEVER felt BAD from taking it. And as long as you are aware that you ARE going to come down, it makes it a whole lot easier.
A few benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Trazodone, Flurazepam, etc.) don't hurt any either when you are coming down. They are actually quite pleasant, and they work on the same body system, just different directions.
My wife and I eventually talked to our gay friends about the sex, and they admitted to having the same experience every time.  We even talked of US as a couple getting with THEM as a couple, but we all chickened out the first time we tried it so that we wouldn't ruin a great friendship. But that didn't change a thing... the thinking and talking about it is fantastic.
I know I'm dragging on and on here, but I am trying to be thorough and hit all the key parts of this drug as I have seen them on this web site. I also wanted to post a POSITIVE, supporting story about the stuff.

PERSONALLY, I cannot fathom how someone could get addicted to a drug that is so strong... after two or three days, my wife and I both would be READY to come down, and *I* am an alcoholic for cripes sake!! And there was never an 'immediate' urge to do it again, that would come back a few weekends later and we would get more, so we made a deal to never feel guilty about doing it - guilt and Meth go together about like pot and loud noises go together ;-)
Since our first time doing this stuff, my wife and I have divorced and moved on with our lives, and I can honestly say that drugs had no part in our divorce... except to the extent that all the HONEST talking we would do led to each of us making some self-discoveries that showed us we were not meant to be married. We parted friends, and our last time together in our house was spent MAKING LOVE drug free.
But guess what? Lucky me meets a 'crank freak' gal on New Year's Eve, and the stuff she got was weaker and meaner than the Ice we had been accustomed to (I heard from more than one person that the Ice was top of the line, and called Tina, and that this new CRANK was the scum scraped off the batch of ice while it wass being made), true or not, that is how it felt - this CRANK was more like Coke in the sense that it made you want more right away - which clouded my judgment and we ended up moving her into my house two days after meeting - but our first night together was spent smoking Meth, and between those good feelings, and the constant hook-up, I tricked myself into believing I had found Miss Right - and I was wrong; BUT, I WAS treated to over three months of the best, most fun, most embarrassing XXX rated movie star porno sex of my life. So again, I have NO complaints about Meth other than the fact that it makes your GOOD time fly by so quickly.
I'm now looking forward to being single and partying on the stuff... it certainly pulls me out of my shell, and it makes me confident. It has also opened some doors with my gay friend who turned us on to the stuff... we have partied together since my divorce, and he has admittedly been turned on by me, which amazingly enough was a turn on right back at me while under the influence of the Meth. We are taking that train VERY slowly so as not to cause anyone any permanent mental scarring, but I think we are both excited about all the possibilities of a straight guy and a gay guy getting together behind closed doors with the excuse of 'being fucked up' to use in an emergency. At least we talk the talk while ON the Ice... and I am guessing it is just a matter of time before one of us wants to do something with the other. And we have even planned ahead and are calling it research in case me, the straight guy, gets freaked out by ay of it.
I'm a firm believer that you should be educated about what you are taking, and how to take it, and what to do if something goes wrong, etc., and I feel that 99% of 'BAD' experiences would not happen. I had the ongoing advice of my gay friends, and they had experienced all the same urges and feelings my wife and I did, and they warned us about the negative stuff, and got us all excited about the positive stuff. It was perfect.
I started out snorting lines exclusively and did so for over a year, but after my wife left me, I smoked some for the first time and was TOTALLY freaked in a good way at the different feeling you get... it comes on slow and easy, but it stays with you for days! Now I snort a line to kick it off, then smoke my bumps. This method so far seems to be the best thing going. Smoking vs. snorting vs. eating the stuff all produce different high's in my opinion. I have recently even heard stories of anal dosing... common among the gay community, and it is supposed to be incredible.
Another thing I have found that seems to work wonders for me, is to take a nice combo of multi-vitamins (2 or 3 times what they say to take), aspirin, and ibuprofen BEFORE going to bed Sunday night - it makes Monday mornings so much nicer.
 That would be like someone who plays golf complaining about walking all over the place - IT IS A PART OF THE DEAL.
If you like Cocaine, you'll LOVE Meth.
If you like Ephedrine, you'll LOVE Meth.
If you just like trying new things on occasion, then you will definitely LOVE your experience with Meth.
I'll go so far as to rate it on my scale of Top Five Substances To Abuse:
1. LSD
2. Marijuana
3. Ecstacy/MDMA
4. Methamphetamine
5. Nitrous Oxide
To finish all this up, let me remind you to EAT, DRINK, and take your vitamins. You will reap wonderful rewards from those three simple things.
Personally, as a recovering alcoholic who readily and admittedly still uses OTHER substances, Meth gets a high score in my book and THAT is based on many years of experience, as well as many hours reading the right books about this recreational drug abuse.

Greece’s tennis sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas wins ATP Finals
by GCTGreece’s 21-year-old tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas beat Austrian player Dominic Thiem 6-7, 6-2, 6-7 and has won the final of the ATP Finals 2019 in London.
After becoming the first Greek player to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals, Tsitsipas is now the first player from Greece to lift the trophy at the season finale.
Tsitsipas lost the first set in a close 6-7 tiebreaker, then served incredibly well in the second taking the set 6-2, before another close third set which went to a tie-breaker again, with Tsitsipas taking the match.
Tsitsipas has become the youngest champion at the season finale since 20-year-old Lleyton Hewitt from Australia won in 2001.
The talented Greek player has now also become the sixth-youngest champion in the tournament’s 50-year history. John McEnroe holds the record for the youngest champion, lifting the trophy in 1978 when he was 19.
In an interview after beating Roger Federer in the semi-final, Tsitsipas said: “I remember myself being one of these kids here, watching the event, and for me, it was just, I could never picture myself standing here,” said Tsitsipas.
“But it did happen. Dreams do come true.”
Bravo Stefanos!


In 2012 a court order forced The Department of Homeland Security to release a list of words it uses to monitor social media networks.

This patch adds explicit checks both for device_name and node-name so that the same rules will still apply even if QemuOpts won't be used any more at some point. qemu-img used to use names with spaces in them, which isn't allowed any more.

I have the affidavits concerning this affair now laying before me, and were it not that it might swell this address to too great a length, I might here transcribe them. When these companies got together, they possibly might appear formidable to some. This was the time that our brethren called upon Esq. Black for the purpose of reconciling difficulties, and coming to some terms, whereby a permanent settlement might be made, and a recurrence of difficulties avoided. They did not visit him in a large body as has been stated, but three or four individuals waited on XXTITLEANDNAME. XXFIRSTNAME XXLASTNAME was not among the number, but being afterwards invited by XXTITLEANDNAME, he attended upon his invitation. As much has been said relative to coercion having been used by XXFIRSTNAME XXLASTNAME, and those that were with him, and that the document which it was said he was forced to sign, was unconstitutional and subversive of the rights of American citizens, etc, etc, I here insert a copy of the instrument that XXTITLEANDNAME drew and signed with his own hand, as I have the original in my possession I shall give it verbatim, not being accountable either for its composition or orthography.

XXTITLEANDNAME afterwards made oath that he was forced to sign this document by a number of armed men, but it was not so; when our people went, they told him that their intention was to seek to establish peace, and the subsequent investigation by Judge King and Gen. XXLASTNAME proved that no coercion was intended, nor used by our people; and their dockets will establish that fact. But the truth of the matter is, that XXTITLEANDNAME and others had sold their pre-emption rights, corn, etc. to our people, and had obtained remuneration, some in part, others for all their property; which however they said they cared little about, as they would soon drive the Mormons, and possess their properties again. This is a fact well known in XXCOUNTY, and XXTITLEANDNAME, after riding through the county to stir up excitement and collect a mob, treated his friends (the mob) with a payment of $XXNUMBER which he had received from our brethren, stating that he had cheated the Mormons out of it, and would soon possess his land again, etc. -- And the events which have subsequently transpired evidently show that he has accomplished his design, and that too from the support of the highest authorities of this state.  Meanwhile a number of our brethren who had located themselves and bought property at XXCITY, on the banks of the Missiouri river, in XXCOUNTY, were threatened with extermination by the mob, if they would not evacuate that place and leave the county. Several messages of this kind were sent but no attention was paid to them. An anonymous letter was then sent to a XXTITLEANDNAME, a widow, in XXCITY, who did not belong to the church; as they said they did not wish her destroyed in the general massacre that would shortly come upon the Mormons. She showed this letter to some of the brethren, who however disregarded it, as they had been taught from their infancy, that they were the free born sons of liberty, citizens of the United States, a country that has always boasted of an enlightened policy, a liberty of conscience and of worship, impartial laws, and an equitable administration, and they never yet had been inducted into the mysteries of mobocracy. At the appointed time the mob came amounting to upwards of a hundred with the XXTITLEANDNAME Woods, and Abbot Hancock, two Presbyterian Priests, at their head in company with the sheriff. XXTITLEANDNAME had sworn out a writ against XXTITLEANDNAME, stating that he was in danger of his life in consequence of some expressions made by XXTITLEANDNAME.

--- layout: layouts/post.njk title: "Calculating Color: Dynamic Color Theming with Pure CSS" permalink: /css-color-theming/ date: '2019-12-05' comments: true tags: - css - variables - theme - custom properties - pure css header-bg: '../images/posts/css-custom-props-colors/cover.jpg' description: "Did you know that you can build custom dynamic color themes without the use of JavaScript or a CSS preprocessor!? Read on!" ---
Did you know that you can build custom dynamic color themes without the use of JavaScript or a CSS preprocessor!? With the magic of CSS Custom Properties, HSL colors, and some calc() fun, you too can create custom theming with no dependencies. That means we can support any framework or web technology without adding cruft to a codebase! Hooray for CSS!
See the Pen Dynamic Color Theme With CSS Vars by Una Kravets (@una) on CodePen.
In the above demo, you can select a primary and secondary color and create entire color systems with vanilla CSS alone. The only JavaScript used in that demo is to change the colors dynamically.
When it comes to color systems, there are several Sass color functions that authors find useful. Jackie Balzar has a great visual post about this. Some of the most common are:
lighten()
and >darken()
complement()
hue()
mix()
contrast-color()
Some of these transformations can actually be re-created with CSS filters. For example, lighten
and darken
are essentially just the lightness
value from HSL (the L). A hue
transform is also just the H from HSL. Complementary colors can be calculated by taking the inverse of the hue (i.e. adding or subtracting 180
, which would transform the hue to the other side of the 360 degree color wheel. Using calc()
in our CSS, along with custom properties, lets us apply these transformations based on a single value.
In this blog post (like in the demo above), I'll show you how to recreate lighten()
, darken()
, complement()
, and even triadic colors, all using CSS custom properties with the calc()
function. I'll also show a hacky technique for color-contrast()
. This will work in all modern browsers, but you still need to use a preprocessor to support older browsers like Internet Explorer 11.
To get started, we'll need to break up our colors into hue, saturation, and lightness values (and if you want to take this a step further, you can also break out the alpha value). This means that a variable for the color red
, or hsl(0, 100%, 50%)
would look like this:
Initial custom property declaration:
--colorPrimary: hsl(0, 100%, 50%);
Custom property declaration with HSL values broken out:
--colorPrimary-h: 0;
--colorPrimary-s: 100%;
--colorPrimary-l: 50%;
--colorPrimary: var(--colorPrimary-h), var(--colorPrimary-s), --colorPrimary-l);
Awesome! So now we can use these values to make adjustments. Should we start with recreating the lighten and darken functions? Why not!
To start, we'll need to identify how much we want to lighten and darken, so let's go ahead and save those as additional custom properties.
--lighten-percentage: 20%;
--darken-precentage: 15%;
Once we’ve identified our transformations, now we can write the new value. We’ll want to adjust the lightness with a calculation like so: calc(var(--colorPrimary-l) + var(--lighten-percentage))
.
All together it looks like this:
--colorPrimary--light: var(--colorPrimary-h), var(--colorPrimary-s), calc(var(--colorPrimary-l) + var(--lighten-percentage)));
While this seems a bit verbose, essentially all we are doing is using the base hue and saturation value, and adjusting the lightness value by adding the new lightness percentage to the original value.
For a darken function, we can subtract the lightness (or add it if you set the darken percentage to a negative value) in the same way:
--colorPrimary--dark: var(--colorPrimary-h), var(--colorPrimary-s), calc(var(--colorPrimary-l) - var(--darken-percentage)));
To get the complimentary or triadic shades, we'll need to adjust the hue of the primary color instead of the lightness. We could set up individual variables, but can also take a shorcut and remember that the color wheel in HSL goes from 0 to 360. That means adding or subtracting 180 will give us the complementary shade.
--colorPrimary--complement: calc(var(--colorPrimary-h) + 180), var(--colorPrimary-s), var(--colorPrimary-l));
For triadic colors, we cut 360 into thirds, meaning we can get the first and second triad by adding or subtracting 120 and 240 respectively.
--colorPrimary--triad1: calc(var(--colorPrimary-h) + 120), var(--colorPrimary-s), var(--colorPrimary-l));
--colorPrimary--triad2: calc(var(--colorPrimary-h) + 240), var(--colorPrimary-s), var(--colorPrimary-l));
For analogous shades, we can determine the hue adjustment per shade, and get a nice analogous scheme of colors based on our preferences.
The mix()
blend mode is a little bit trickier than something like lighten()
or darken()
but it can totally be done with HSL calculations!
See the Pen Color Mix in Vanilla CSS by Una Kravets (@una) on CodePen.
In order to mix colors, we need two colors to mix, so let's break them down:
--color-1-h: 0;
--color-1-s: 100%;
--color-1-l: 50%;
--color-2-h: 50;
--color-2-s: 80%;
--color-2-l: 50%;
Then, we can get the averages between those two colors:
--avg-1-2-h: calc((var(--color-1-h) + var(--color-2-h)) / 2);
--avg-1-2-s: calc((var(--color-1-s) + var(--color-2-s)) / 2);
--avg-1-2-l: calc((var(--color-1-l) + var(--color-2-l)) / 2);
finally, we can write our mixed color:
--mixed-color: hsl(var(--avg-1-2-h), var(--avg-1-2-s), var(--avg-1-2-l));
Another key functionality that CSS processors provide are logical values, which allow for us to calculate accessible colors based on their background is the contrast-color()
function. This function takes a series of values: the base color to contrast against, a light value, and a dark value, and will return whichever of the provided values contrasts more with the base. While we can't currently model this directly in pure CSS, we can hack around it.
I'm using this technique from Facundo Corradini, so please don't give me the credit! 😄
First, we set a contrast threshold:
--contrastThreshold: 60%;
Then, as we update the color value in each box from the demo at the top of the page, we test the lightness value to determine if it meets the contrast threshold for "light" or not. If the threshold is higher than the lightness of the base color, the color returns light because we multiply the lightness result by -100. For example, if our lightness was 40 and the contrastThreshold
is 60, 40 - 60 = -20, so when we multiply that lightness by -100, it becomes 2000, resulting in white, since white shows when the lightness is 100 or higher.
The opposite happens when the lightness is higher than the contrastThreshold
. If our lightness is 90, and the contrastThreshold
is 60, the result is 30, so when we multiply this positive value by -100, we get a lightness of -3000, meaning the result is black, since the lightness is lower than 0.
We then return this lightness as the "L" in the HSL of the color value that lives on top of this background color. It looks like this:
.primary {
background: var(--colorPrimary);
--switch: calc((var(--colorPrimary-l) - var(--contrastThreshold)) * -100);
color: hsl(0, 0%, var(--switch));
}
If you want to see this in action, check out the demo at the top of the page
Keep in mind, since HSL is how the computerunderstands lightness and not how the *user* understands lightness, this technique is not perfect, and it clearly shows us where custom properties and the calc function still fall short.
...which is exactly why we need color modification functions on the web! Wouldn't it be nice if this stuff actually worked natively? If we didn't have to break everything up into individual HSLA values and hack around color contrast?
So many design systems and websites rely on color modification, and the CSS Working Group is listening, working on identifying how we can bring color adjustment and modification functions to web browsers.
I hope you enjoyed this post or learned something new! If you use color modification in your design systems or user interfaces, I would love to hear about it! Please tweet at me @una or leave a comment below!


Breaking! Spurs Sack Pochettino
by SL InternationalEnglish Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Read: Official: Spain Sack Boss, Rehire Ex-Manager
Despite reaching the UEFA Champions League final last season, Spurs have struggled in the current campaign where they find themselves in 14th position after 12 mathces.
Spurs suffered some embarrassing defeats before the international breaking, which included a 7-2 loss at the hands Bayern Munich while they were also elminated from the Carabao Cup fourth tier side Colchester FC.
"We were extremely reluctant to make this change," Spurs chairman Daniel Levy told the club's official website,
"It is not a decision the board has taken lightly, nor in haste. Regrettably domestic results at the end of last season and beginning of this season have been extremely disappointing."

After seeing Scott's announcement of the 1.9 release of dasBlog, I just went ahead and updated my blog to it. The upgrade was pretty uneventful, consisting mainly of overwriting all dasBlog files with the new version.
I only did one minor change to the default Web.Config that shipped with dasBlog 1.9 and that was to remove debug compilation. I didn't need to keep any of my own customizations because the only one had been to add my feedflare macro, which Scott so graciously made into a built-in dasBlog macro :-)
After uploading the new file, I just spent a little time adjusting my existing Commonality theme to use some of the new features, like the cool Tag Cloud. I may do some further customization down the road, but for now I'm pretty happy. Way to go guys! Excellent release!


BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, THE (director: Daniel Myrick; screenwriters: Daniel Myrick/Eduardo Sanchez; cinematographer: Neal Fredericks; cast: Heather Donahue (Heather the director ), Michael Williams (Mike the sound guy), Joshua Leonard (Josh the cameraman), 1999)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
There is something to be said about simplicity: it is unencumbering. To shoot a film about a weekend excursion, shot in 16mm and on a high-8 video hand-held camcorder and have it shown in theaters, as the picture jumps back and forth during the entire film, making it really annoying to view, and have the audience be understanding about this, means that this film, shot as if it were a true documentary, has captured something genuine on screen that an audience is craving for. It also should move it into cult film status for these 5 Central Florida University film school students (3 actors,writer and director), who should be proud of their achievement, accomplished by having a sound idea and made without hardly any money for its production; the only other thing needed by them was the conviction to do their own thing and in their own way.
Heather Donahue (Heather the director ), Michael Williams (Mike the sound guy), Joshua Leonard (Josh the cameraman), play the three young people on camera who hike through Maryland's dark woods in search of finding out more about the legend of the Blair Witch (Elly Kedward, found guilty of sorcery in 1785 and lashed to a tree during a harsh winter). The film begins by announcing the disappearance in the woods of "Burkittsville Maryland" of these three documentary filmmakers in 1994, and the film presents itself as what the camera shows was left behind after their disappearance. As we watch the footage from the evidence recovered, we know as much about the legend as the youngsters knew when they went out on their trek. The horrors come about when we see how their expressions change from one of horseplay and showing off their purchases of junk food and the good feelings they have to one another, to one of real fear and anger with each other. It is the horror on their faces and the way their expressions show real apprehension that give this film a different twist to it than the usual horror story, which, too often, relies on special effects. It matters not what is seen along the way or how well they are acting, professional actors could not have done a better job. What is really scary to see, is how panic stricken they are when they realize they are really lost in the woods, that they have little chance of getting out on their own and are in need of a rescue party to find them. This makes the last minute of the film the most haunting part of it. It sticks with you well after viewing it, as you wonder what could have happened to them. It reminded me somewhat of "Picnic at Hanging Rock", that film also effectively left the disappearance up to the imagination and did not dwell on the details of the children's demise. This method of filming mysterious disappearances, proves to be an interesting way of handling it, especially when you don't have much in your budget and your story is razor thin.
The flaws in this project are that it was like going on the trek yourself, walking over bumpy logs, getting wet, and feeling cold and uncomfortable, and listening to all those snidish remarks and whining that came out of the three. I would not like to see other films made this way, or see a follow-up to this film, a film that lucked out and became an enormous commercial success, which should make "big time" movie producers drool with envy. This film, just happened to capture the spirit of the project and was done in a satisfying way so as to reassure us that we were seeing something that appeared to be genuinely creepy. Follow-up films rarely capture the same spirit, and by correcting the jumpy camera would not, necessarily, enhance the film. This film did what it had to do and should be savored as the popular cult film it is or will certainly become. It made a virtue out of shooting a low-budget and unsophisticated story in the raw.
The other thing the film didn't do, was give us enough information about the legend. I would have felt more toward the effort, if I had more of a story and some more pertinent dialogue to go along with the scariness of the film. It was also hard on the ears to hear their conversations, both because of the poor sound quality and their endless ramblings, punctuated only by profanity. But this is overwritten by their excellent use of the forest itself, its twigs (designed to give the film its terrifying logo) and rocks and darkness, as in one sense the area was found to be beautiful, but when things went wrong, an ugliness of mood and environment set in, giving the film all the props they would need to make this horror film scary. I would give it an A if it was shown to a film school class and held up as an example of how to make an innovative film on practically nothing. But as a professional offering, I would be more critical, and my overall discomfort in watching the film would have me lower the grade significantly. Though I do heartily recommend this film for the more adventurous sorts, and feel it is difficult to evaluate because of the thinness of the story and such, yet it has an appeal to it that goes beyond what we ordinarily look for in a film. That something special is what draws us to this film, but not to a point where we remain uncritical of it.
The film leaves the elements of mystery about it, as its ending is very much connected to its beginning interview scenes of the locals, which should provide many provocative responses from the enthusiasts of this film, who will add mystery onto the mystery for this most dizzying and engaging film... Incidentally, I did feel like I was motion-sick when I left the theater. I wonder how many others felt that way!
