They Will Kill You - A Review


They Will Kill You


They Will Kill You is, quite bluntly, the daftest film I've seen so far this year...and I mean that in a good way.

The movie is John Wick vs The Evil Dead ON ACID. The plot, what little plot there is, centres around Zazie Beetz' character, Asia, tricking her way into a hotel, that has a history of hired help disappearing in strange circumstances, to rescue her sister who she discovers is working there.

Asia has been in prison for the last ten years and has picked up some kick ass fighting moves, which come in handy when the rich clientele try to murder her. Asia fights back, chopping off heads and blowing off limbs with shotguns, blood and guts flying around like an 80s gore fest, only to be shocked by the bodies all reanimating and chasing after her again.

The cast is made up of some well known faces - Patricia Arquette, Heather Graham, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton - all seemingly having the time of their lives slipping and sliding in gore and guts.  

There's no real surprises here, just daft fun for comedy horror fans. Incredibly funny in places, with lots of nonchalant moments. I think Ready Or Not was slightly better, but nowhere near as gory.

Recommended for a fun 90 minutes. Damn good soundtrack too.

Tutorial: Hello, world! in Z80 Assembly Language

Image
  I'm feeling kind of nostalgic today so I thought I'd write Hello, world! in Z80 assembly for the ZX Spectrum! The last time I wrote any Z80 assembly was when I was 14 so around 36 years ago! I may be a little rusty! Here it is: org $8000 ld bc, TEXT LOOP ld a, (bc) cp 0 jr z, EXIT rst $10 inc bc jr LOOP EXIT ret TEXT defb "Hello, world!" defb 13, 0 How this works line by line: org $8000 - this line puts the program into memory location $8000 ld bc,TEXT - ld stands for load. We load register bc with the memory location of what comes after the label TEXT LOOP - the beginning of our printing loop. We will be printing each letter at a time. ld a,(bc) - now we load register a with the content of register bc. As register a is a single register and can only take a single byte at a time, then the content of bc loaded into register a will be the letter H (the first letter in Hello, world!) cp 0 - stands for compare 0. We check if ...

La Isla Bonita

Image
La Isla Bonita Another drawing made using P5JS based on an image I've found online. This one was a bit more difficult as the original has lots of shadows. I decided to forgo some of the shadows to make my image more simple. I think it turned out quite well. I called the sketch "La Isla Bonita" as it reminded me of the Madonna song from my childhood. Here's the original. I think this is an AI pic. It doesn't really matter. And here is my version: And here is the code: function setup() { createCanvas(400, 600); angleMode(DEGREES); } function draw() { background(255); stroke(0); strokeWeight(3); push(); translate(-30,0); // centre whole image /* hat */ push(); noFill(); //brim strokeWeight(6); translate(200,100); rotate(30); ellipse(0,0,60,80); //top strokeWeight(5); arc(-10,-10,40,40,20,320); arc(-10,-5,40,40,10,180); pop(); strokeWeight(3) //crease line(180...

にゃー、にゃー。(Meow, meow)

にゃー、にゃー。 Today my wife was playing Stray on the PS5. It seems an interesting game where you play the role of a stray cat in the far future that finds itself lost in a city full of robots. Whilst scrolling through Twitter, I came across a wonderful p5js sketch by Senbaku , which inspired me to create this animation. And here is the code: /* After にゃー、にゃー。 (Meow meow) by @Senbaku https://x.com/senbaku/status/2024819224028541210 */ function setup() { createCanvas(400, 400); rectMode(CENTER); angleMode(DEGREES); noStroke(); } function draw() { background(220); drawCat(width / 4, height / 2, false); drawCat(width / 4, height / 4, false); drawCat(width / 4, height / 2+100, false); //mirrored cats drawCat((width / 4) * 3, height / 2, true); drawCat((width / 4) * 3, height/4, true); drawCat((width / 4) * 3, height/2+100, true); textSize(30); text('After センバク', 100,360); } ...
