No Context Post #1

I'm a firm believer in sucking people into movies and shows with clips or scenes where they have no idea what it's related to or have no idea what happens after said scene.  I've often gotten people hooked on The Wire with simple quotes from the show.  So, if I can provide a random scene that entices someone to follow up on said show or movie, I've done my part.

I used to do a weekly bit called Fight Scene Friday that tried to do the same thing but it was way too demanding on my time and I ran out of fight scenes available on YouTube I could actually talk to. Mainly, I just ran out of time.

However, below, you'll find two installments in what I hope is the first of many No Context Posts where you'll find a scene or two from a movie or show, want to learn what the fuck happened after, and go watch it.  Also, if you think you can do better, go write it.


Scene 1.  Apocalypse Now!  Of course.



Scene 2.  The Hunted.  Fuck me if you can't find a better WTF scene and mind scramble yourself into a better potential where is this coming from/where is this going roads.

Cocaine Bear is Cool and All. But Bigfoot Crank Stomp Take Batshit Crazy to Another Level!!!


"This book gives new meaning to the word OUTRAGEOUS! It's so totally off-the-wall while at the same time so unputdownable that it blew my creative doors off. The whole time I was reading it I was PISSED that I hadn't thought of it."
--EDWARD LEE, author of HAUNTER OF THE THRESHOLD and HEADER

Bigfoot is real and he's addicted to meth!

It should have been so easy. Get in, kill everyone, and take all the money and drugs. That was Russell and Mickey's plan. But the drug den they were raiding in the middle of the woods holds a dark secret chained up in the basement. A beast filled with rage and methamphetamine and tonight it will break loose.
Nothing can stop a sasquatch on a drug-fueled rampage. And before the sun rises, there is going to be a lot of dead cops and junkies.


"[Erik Williams] has an almost Hitchcockian way of knowing when enough is enough, cutting from shameless wallows in gore to neat moments of suggestion, where you get it without having to watch it." -John Skipp, Fangoria

"This book is everything you could possibly want in a book about a rampaging mythical creature looking for his next hit, delivered in compulsively readable style with a real cinematic eye for pacing and exciting scenes. If B movie levels of gore, black humor and action are your thing, this is the book for you." -Blu Gilland, FEARnet

Cocaine Bear is Good but BFCS is the OG

Also, death metal band Troglodyte's most recent album The Hierarchical Ecological Succession: Welcome to the Food Chain has a track titled "Sasquashed (Bigfoot Crank Stomp)" on it. Yes, that's right, my Bigfoot Crank Stomp inspired a death metal song.  Has Cocaine Bear done that yet?  Didn't think so.
