Saturday Night Classics Movie night with Dyl and the Klebolds.

Dylan was particularly knocked out by a complicated choreographed battle scene staged in a downpour, which I would come to learn had inspired directors like Martin Scorsese. I was thrilled he’d appreciated the subtle artistry of the film.


Tonight’s feature presentation is…

Seven Samurai    [Full Movie Link]

One night at the end of February, I surprised Tom and Dylan by bringing home a couple of fruit pies and Seven Samurai, a classic Japanese film from the 1950s directed by Akira Kurosawa. Dylan had heard about Seven Samurai in a class at school, and was curious about it. I’d never seen it, although I knew the American Western remake from the sixties, The Magnificent Seven. Snowy and cold outside, it seemed like the perfect night to light a fire, pig out, and watch a movie, but I worried about my choice as soon as the film began: I wasn’t sure Dylan was going to stick around for a long, black-and-white, subtitled movie about a sixteenth century Japanese village.

I was wrong. Dylan was spellbound; we all were. Poor Byron dropped in for an unexpected visit in the middle, and even though we couldn’t understand a word of the Japanese dialogue, we shushed him when he tried to talk. He sat down and tried to get into it with us, but he had the reaction I’d expected from Dylan. In a matter of minutes, he’d kissed me on the top of the head and let himself out. Rapt, we barely looked up long enough to say good-bye.

After the closing credits rolled, Tom, Dylan, and I stayed up late on the couch, talking about some of the more remarkable scenes. Because he’d made videos and done sound for plays, Dylan had deep appreciation for the technical challenges the movie presented. He was particularly knocked out by a complicated choreographed battle scene staged in a downpour, which I would come to learn had inspired directors like Martin Scorsese. I was thrilled he’d appreciated the subtle artistry of the film.

Pigging out on fruit pies is optional. Enjoy. 🙂

Seven Samurai    [Full Movie Link]     

genuniely curious…but any idea on who the girl was that dylan WAS writing about..? I heard about maria and other girls, and maybe that him and eric liked tiffany??? i’m not exactly sure with whose who in each situation but i do wanna know lol

Can you please direct me to who you think dylan halcyon girl was? 👫🌠💓Thank you so much ec🙌🙌🙆🙆🙇

You’re going to have to wait for my FAQ to be released. This question has been asked countless times and is one of the most common questions I get here on E-C.

re the question about dylans parents having his things… Truecrimehothouse answered some questions about Eric and Dylan today saying that their friends had things like CDs and clothing but sold it to collectors. It’s unlikely that dylans personal belongings are still with his parents

Oh, I’m sure only a few of the most personal and beloved possessions of Dylan still reside with Tom, Sue and Byron seventeen years on.  They surely would not have kept every single thing belonging to him, no. That said, this self professed ‘collector’ makes a lot of claims which are interesting but haven’t been proven in any substantial way as of yet.  

ur the best source for columbine on tumblr so ur probably the best person to answer this…would u say truecrimehothouse post about the Patrick Ireland glass is real or fake? she’s claiming she got it from one of Eric/Dylans friends

Have u seen the glass post going around? Is it fake?

is the glass post in the tags real?


I’m not really sure why people are asking me this question?  I’ve seen the photo of the broken glass with dried blood on it.  I’m not going to suggest hands-down that these are a fake however, a little reasoning wouldn’t hurt before simply believing everything you see/hear on the internet.  In looking at the photo of the glass, it would be pretty easy to take thick glass shards and put your own blood smears on them and announce to the public what you want them to believe by posting a photo of Patrick Ireland falling out of the broken window right beside it (a clever bit of a hypnotic suggestion adding Patrick’s photo next to the glass shards too.)  Some are going to just take it as fact while others will take it with a grain of salt and be more skeptical.  I’m not just going to say “oh yeah, that looks legit” instead for me, it’d take more than just posting the pictures with a claim to make me buy the story.  However, if this person was willing to demonstrate proof that would help support the claims legitimacy that would prove their credibility.  For example, they could demonstrate how the glass is an exact match in color as the green tinted glass windows at Columbine or they could have a DNA test done on the  blood smears but of course, they’d also need Patrick’s permission to provide his DNA sample to match it or, they could have the person that found the glass and gave it to them video tape that it is the real thing and how they got it.  Since, none of those methods of proof are likely to happen, we’re all just left to go “hm..that’s an interesting claim for this self professed TC collector”. The collector supposedly has other collectible artifacts too but we’ve yet to see anything else of theirs posted publicly. It’s ironic that they use the term “relics” since Catholics believe in Holy relics and believers simply have faith that the relic is something linked to a Saint’s being with absolutely no proof necessary for people to believe that it’s the real thing.  Bottom line here is that you’ll have to take their word for it that it is what they’re claiming it to be.  If that’s good enough for you *shrugs* than maybe that’s all some of you need?  If it’s not, just take it with a grain of salt.  Remember, this is the internet. Anyone can make any claims easily without proof to back it up. 

Hey do u think dylans parents still have his earring, hat, trenchcoat, aol shirt etc

It’s quite possible that his parents were given the earring back and also the onyx ring which likely was removed from his finger during the autopsy.  I think it’s a good possibility that out of all the t-shirts Dyl had, the AoL shirt, which he designed himself and wore all the time, was synonymous with his being.  I do think they would’ve kept it.  We have specific record that the authorities gave back the trench coat (duster) to his parents. I go into this here regarding all articles of clothing that were on Dylan’s being during the shooting that was returned to his parents.

March 25, 1999.

17 years ago today, the Klebold family drove to Arizona to pick out Dylan’s dorm room. Less than a month before the massacre, they drove to see the campus of the University of Arizona where Dylan had been accepted. He planned on pursuing his dreams and becoming a computer science major.

In total, the Klebold family spent four days driving together and they saw nothing unusual from Dylan’s behavior.

He should have fled from Littleton and went here………………..

937anon source: 99.9% sure this is Byron. Caught it on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. Restaurant is called “bang” in Denver’s Highland District 💁🏻💁🏻💁🏻

I’m going to go ahead and go from 99.9% to 100%.
Not only do his prominent facial features support my suggestion – but just the way he moves his mouth when he talks just screams SUE.

The chin, jaw, deep set – striking blue eyes, receding hairline, and wrinkly forehead are just dead give aways. And not only that – the fact that it was recorded in a Denver district…

100% a Klebold.

PS.

Guy Fieri isn’t the kind of guy who is gonna get up in your face and ask your family history before his crew records you stuffing your face. Chances are he didn’t even meet Guy. The crew probably went up to him and said, “Hey, dude! Mind telling us why you enjoy coming to this restaurant?” He probably felt confident that is anonymity was on the chill.

✌🏻️😎

Agreed.^^ Very Kleboldian. haha.  The angular bony jaw and strong chin are a very distinct match. The upward arching slope of his deep set blue eyes look a comparative match to the photos in this post. I’d say it’s a pretty dang uncanny likeness if it’s not him. 😉 This episode was filmed September 19, 2011 which would put Byron at almost 33 in October (just shy of two weeks after Dylan’s 30th birthday had he lived to enjoy it).The premature balding in Byron’s early thirties seems entirely plausible. It’s obvious to me that Dylan even in his teens (especially in Radioactive Clothing) was already predisposed to acquiring this sort of sparse hairline by his thirties.  

It’s interesting to me how distinctly different Dylan and Byron’s noses are.

Here’s the snippet with audio. 

Diners,DriveIns & Dives: Season 12, Episode 5 Southern Flavor

hey so some columbiners on here feel it was all dylan’s idea bc he wrote it down first, do you believe that?

inmyhumanform:

Hoo-boy, I hope I don’t anger people, but no, I don’t. Personally (and this is just my feelings!) I think it was a mutual thing that developed over time-maybe a, “ugh, I hate this person/these people, I wish they would die, don’t you?” feeling that turned into an actual plan.

My reasoning is a couple things. A) just because Eric didn’t keep written documentation until 1998 and after the plan had started to form doesn’t mean he didn’t feel like killing people/blowing up the school years beforehand and had expressed it to his friends. People wrote of him being picked on long before him starting his journal. I doubt he brushed it off, he probably just didn’t feel the need to write it down then. B) while Dylan wrote down two names that have been blacked out-a female who as far as I know, has still not really speculated, (anyone know?) and someone who’s believed to be Zach-back in ‘97 and talked about a NBK scenario with them, remember Eric was part of that little group they had then, and had been since roughly ‘95 or so. Interviews about Eric and Dylan’s attitude towards other people at school leads me to feel Eric had the same feelings Dylan did, likely even back then in 1997, and I feel there was more than likely conversations about ‘hating people’ and ‘destroying the school’ between that whole little group. I think Eric and Dylan simply began to gravitate towards each other more when those two started to realize they felt more serious about making that fantasy of blowing the school up a reality then their friends did. That being said, it’s very possible Dylan’s the one who went, ‘fuck, we should kill this school!’ and Eric agreed, but I don’t think this was something Dylan dragged Eric into, or vice versa. I always just felt It’s something many people in their circle talked about-they were just the two decided to actually do it.

Agreed. Just because one starts off journaling feelings before the other, expressing homicidal fantasies, doesn’t mean the other hasn’t thought about doing the very same thing in their mind around the exact same time period the other had begun to download their thoughts onto paper. The difference is, they simply haven’t started taking up writing their thoughts down on paper, is all. Hypothetically speaking, had Eric started journaling at the same time or even earlier than Dylan, it’s highly likely he would’ve broached the similar variation of destructive desires especially since he was already heading Rebel Missions. I would agree that both began to recognize similar violent interests and bounce off one another at a certain point especially after the van arrest and their resentment for being subjugated into the Diversion program for a year.
