"Dust Devil" was released on this day in 1992. Outstanding African horror film from writer/director Richard Stanley. Highlights: Terrific performances from Robert Burke and Chelsea Field; magnificent cinematography by Steven Chivers; evocative Simon Boswell score. Largely due to studio interference (particularly the botched North American release), "Dust Devil" did not connect with audiences upon its release. In the intervening decades, the film (especially the director approved 108-minute cut) has reached cult status among genre fans. "Dust Devil" is a unique foray into the horror/western subgenre, with the African locale adding much to the visuals. Just as he did previously with "Hardware," Richard Stanley delivered an underrated and excellent horror film.

This was the era of pepper spray. Crime was on the rise in the 80s, and they were coming out with all different types of non-lethal deterrents

Case in point here is Upstate NY. This place should be a paradise. It's superlatively gorgeous -- maybe the most beautiful place east of the Mississippi -- and fertile. The housing's cheap, there are OK jobs, soil's fine, life is easy. But people here are MISERABLE. Daily interactions involve leering, awkward staring, cold shoulders, nervous energy. Loner-hermit types avoid others; elderly are crotchedy and skittish. DinerGoth types are lurking, vaping, being gay, mumbling to themselves in the Stewart's parking lot. No one's stopping to chat, no one's your friend, everyone is kind of tense in public. Guys are shooting up on the street in Watertown, Utica, even Tupper Lake. Any cop will tell you WEIRD, dark stories about what goes on here. The Kulak class is overtaxed; the State Workers dream of Florida once the pension hits. Young guys are all planning to move to South Carolina, Texas. Local government is a good old boys club for the dumbest, most cynical drunkards in each county. The whole vibe is "soviet." Except in lib enclaves, where the vibe is "tense, judgemental, 'in this house we believe', paranoid about MAGA, cloistered." And so this place is cheap, low-rent, undesirable. Gentrifiers try to come but they don't stay here. This place resists any attempt to "reinvigorate" it. The dysgenic darkness hangs over every inch of it; no amount of bright-eyed yuppies can fix it. Albany can't fix it. It's all graft, corruption, awkward stammering parochial nutcases wandering the streets in between disability checks. The residents of so many places here are the genetic remnants of those who didn't have the gumption or the brains to go West when the time came, and it shows. Literally the best move we have is to pay people to LEAVE. If I was the governor I'd allocate massive amounts of money towards this. I'd straight-up pay people to clear out, get out of here, move along. I'd pay their moving expenses, send them to Florida or whatever. And we'd flourish.

One of the great luxuries one pays dearly for in America is to privilege of not living around miserable people. There are many places in the USA that *should* technically be a paradise, but aren't, because the residents of that place are wretched bastards. Likewise, there are many places in the USA that are objectively middling, crappy, bummer-type places that actually rock because they're full of cheerful, friendly, optimistic people. People gladly pay the premium and move to wherever the "happy people" are moving, even if the land itself kind of sucks.

They killed McHales they killed Smiths they killed Bellevue Bar Hells Kitchens spots that made Midtown Magical - now a real estate family notorious mostly for their son cold blooded killing some innocent women & almost getting away with it wants to kill Jimmy's Corner
Emily Gallagher@EmilyAssembly

When Jimmy's Corner opened in the 70's, it helped make Times Square feel safer and more connected. Today, it's one of the only places you can still get a beer for $3. Small businesses are the fabric of NYC. I will fight for their ability to survive. amny.com/news/i-love-th…
