“meat eating orchids forgive no one just yet” is such a raw fucking line Kurt Cobain needs more credit for being an incredible lyricist

"Heart-Shaped Box" is a song by American rock group Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain. It appears as the third track on the band's final studio album, In Utero (1993). Although not released as a single in the United States, the song generated considerable American radio airplay, reaching number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Cobain began writing the song in early 1992 at the Los Angeles apartment he shared with his wife, Courtney Love. He was having trouble working out the guitar riff and decided to put the song aside. After a few months he played what he had for bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl and asked them to help "come up with something but it just turned into noise all the time". Eventually during one jam session, Cobain said he "came up with the vocal style instantly" and their instrumentals "all flowed out real fast. We finally realized that it was a good song."
"Heart-Shaped Box" was also the final Nirvana song to have a music video before the suicide of Cobain in April 1994. The video, directed by Anton Corbijn, won two awards, including Best Alternative Video, at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards.

MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D (2009)
Usually, I don't tend to watch re makes of horror movies, especially when it comes to classics like My Bloody Valentine, just because they never seem to deliver on the same level as the originals. This remake, however, made the original look weak. I love how it took the classic and the characters involved and gave it a fresh spin. The characters have much more substance to them in regard to personality and motives. The plot twist in this film is way harder to pick up on than the original and makes the film much more intense. In true remake fashion, everything is amped up to 10, but it's done in a way that feels right and not too flashy. There's a lot more blood and gore in this installment. I loved that they kept the dryer kill but reimagined it in a way that fits this version of the story. Let's be honest. That was an iconic kill.
