Dang that old. They were still having us watch it when I was in elementary school

Unironically this is the end result of Hamilton and West Wing and hell even fucking School House Rock (for all the 30 something US Americans). This is real “end of history” thinking. Democracy is the final form, this is it, the problem is that the wrong people keep getting voted in, bad people, because “oh Republicans are stupid” or “oh Russia Boris what time is it in Moscow” or “oh leftists let Trump win”. We just need real people of character to get in there and do politics and reach across the aisle and just have heart to heart talks with fascists and get things done FOR AMERICA because America is perfect! We just keep electing the wrong people but don’t worry we’ll fix it

The Rise of the Witch King expansion for Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth 2

If you like RTS games and/or Lord of the Rings these games are pretty easy to pirate and there is an active modding community.

Kinda. This is gonna be super simplistic but like. To be good or moral or ethical or whatever you want to call it. It is not enough to love and support things that are good. You must hate and oppose things that are evil. If you are not capable of hating oppressors with the same conviction as the people who are oppressed, what are you even standing on? Do you think the parents of all the dead Palestinian kids have anything but hate for anyone and everything that claims the title of “Israeli”? Would you stand with them or not? Do you not tremble with indignation at the injustice, as Che said? Really think about whether or not you do.

This doesn’t mean you necessarily have to go out and find Israeli nationals to harass and you don’t have to send money to Hamas. But you do have to not go online and make weepy posts about “But but but what if they had really good reasons to be colonizers 🥺”

Good shit. Today was rough, I needed that

I once waited 3 hours in a merch line at a concert for The Garden to get literally get a vinyl and a tape not even that long ago

I love things like this. Movies that don’t see the light of day until years after filming. Have you seen New York Ninja? Shot in 1984 and shelved until someone found it in like 2020. It was like 8 hours of film with no sound, full script, storyboards, or actor credits. A director had to edit it down to movie length, reconstruct a script by reading the actors lips, and have all the ADR done.

Roland’s revolvers from The Dark Tower. Forged from the melted steel of Excalibur. I really hope the next adaptation they’re doing will be good

Oh, that’s okay. I don’t criticize Israel very much anymore. I jump straight to “Death to Israel, death to all Zionists” which isn’t criticism so much as it is an attempt at manifestation

As a resident of LA County every day I fantasize about heading down to UCLA with a leaf blower and a big ass bag of eriodictyon parryi cuttings and seeing how much havoc I could wreak on the Zionists before people catch on to what I’m doing

Hmmmm movies I do like. Terry Gilliams stuff is good (Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Time Bandits, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). Some classic stuff like Double Indemnity, Some Like It Hot, The Great Escape, 12 Angry Men, lots of Hitchcock stuff like North by Northwest or Rear Window. Big fan of the old school Godzilla stuff as well. Comedies are great, anything Mel Brooks (Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles) or Leslie Nielsen (Airplane) or John Candy movies like Uncle Buck or Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Some more modern rom coms like While You Were Sleeping or Much Ado About Nothing. A lot of Coen brothers stuff and Wes Anderson. Idk Christopher Nolans stuff just doesn’t have characters or drama that draws me in. It’s like big set pieces and super serious white dudes and idk it just doesn’t do anything for me. Memento was a good mystery and interesting concept and Interstellar is probably his next best movie but everything else is just like movies for people who use Letterboxd.

Hot take: Memento is his only good movie

I liked Memento but the rest of his work is basically forgettable to me. I saw all the Batman movies and I imagine if I gave a shit about Batman or cape shit in general I would have liked it but as it stands eh. Dunkirk put me to sleep and I haven’t seen Oppenheimer but I imagine it would put me to sleep even faster. Inception was kinda cool when I first saw it but when I really think about it’s not very interesting either. Interstellar had a few interesting bits but once again mostly just boring. The Prestige I could barely pay attention to and the twist I just didn’t care about. All in all most of his shit is just completely uninteresting to me.

May Allah bless him with another stroke 🙏

They think the end game is those episodes of X Files with subliminal messages in the TVs that make people hallucinate and kill their spouses except instead they’re gonna make straight guys want dick. Their vision of the future isn’t a boot stamping on a human face forever its the Cigarette Smoking Man inserting sissy hypno captions into the video stream during Monday Night Football
