Is it just me, or does the tagline they chose for Willard (the 1971) doesn't fit the movie at all (even though they could have easily made it to make more sense by replacing Ben with Socrates). It is a good tagline don't get me wrong, but in the movie, Willard and Ben can barely stand each other, especially later in the movie. When Willard and Ben work together to get revenge for Socrates. That being said, I absolutely love the poster.

15 year old me would be happy to know I finally own 'Ratman's Notebooks', the novel that inspired the 'Willard' films! Here it is next to the novel written by Crispin Glover, who played Willard in the 2003 film.

I love it when an emotional support animal enables a fucked up man to commit unspeakable horrors.

how's your family?

Finally a normal question.

Well, Father is dead, Mother is dead, and I have Uncle Terry who lives in Canada.

How's YOUR family?

#(ooc: this is kind of a reference to another book that isn't ratman's notebooks) #(🐻‍❄)

what's up gamers i'm finally bouncing back from college burnout and i have made an animatic

I love the song I love the book it's based on, why not make a lil something to warm up the storytelling muscles

Concept art below so my post isn't long

I made my own design of Willard based off the image i had of him in my head while reading + loosely took inspiration from the movie versions. Tried making him look rat-like but still believably human, I did fairly well i think

Caterpillars (E.F. Benson) "In the beautiful Villa Cascana on the Italian Riviera, all is not as it seems. Why does the hostess leave a perfectly charming bedroom unoccupied? Why does Arthur Inglis present our nameless narrator with a caterpillar in a cardboard pill-box one lunchtime? And rather more bizarrely, why do luminous, bloated and gigantic versions of this creature haunt his dreams? Or could it possibly be that he is wide awake?"

SPOILERS BELOW CUT

Ratman's Notebooks (Stephen Gilbert) "When his nagging mother discovers a rat infestation, the anonymous writer of these notebooks sets out to drown the pests, but finds himself unable to go through with it. Instead, he befriends the rats, learning to train and communicate with them.

Before long he has the idea of using the rats for revenge against a world in which he has been a failure. His target is his hateful boss, Mr. Jones, who treats him with supreme disrespect and plans to fire him and replace him with someone less expensive. The narrator records his plans in chilling detail as his campaign for vengeance progresses from vandalism to robbery to the most horrific of murders…"

At the end of the story, the narrator is visiting the Stanleys in England. It turns out that Inglis is riddled with cancer. No operation is possible to save him. Mrs. Stanley can’t help but thinking he caught it at the villa even though she took precautions to clean that vacant room and have no one stay there. It seems that someone had died of cancer in that room a year before. The notion of cancer as something infectious may, given the state of medicine at the time, been prevalent (and some cancers are caused by infectious agents).

I don't think that I need to explain why caterpillars either supernaturally spreading a lethal disease or being a metaphor for said disease is peak Corruption.

The fact they don't use a rat mask like in the book in either willard movies is honestly a shame

Have you read...

note: If you did not finish but feel you read enough to form an opinion, you may choose a ‘Yes’ option instead of 'Partly' (e.g., Yes, I didn’t like it). Interpret "neutral or complicated" however you like, I intended this category to be a broad option between like and dislike.
