Chekhov’s Gundam

this conclave bout to be a movie

If AI really does take over all skill-based work, maybe being a personality hire is actually the best thing you can be?

bro did your leitmotif just use parallel modal interchange to reharm itself during recapitulation??

It’s always funny when upset ppl hate being told to calm down it’s like yea ya proving my point exactly lmao

Just had a flashback to me as a child playing video games and always saving twice bc I was afraid the first save didn’t “take”. The anxiety runs so deep.

“Imagine the whole audience naked” is such wild advice for stage fright lmao. Whoever came up with that a freak fr

Maybe it’s just lost its novelty and shock value from when it first came out and I knew nothing about it

watching season 2, I don’t remember Squid Games being this…corny? Like the whole 6-legged race mini game montage thing just evaporated any of the stakes of player death to me. Idk still gonna finish but real fall from season 1 imo

he’s the blueprint

This is the male brain in its 30s.

Thinking about the new trend to film reactions of kids and families reading college admissions emails to see if they got in. Realizing that means there’s lots of footage of very sad videos reacting to rejections. That’s so vulnerable. Idk if I could have handled that at 18 y/o.

Pete Seeger was 6’3”??? Mans shoulda put down the banjo and start putting up buckets

The Grinch was a freedom fighter

Ever since I was little I knew I always wanted to be on PTO.

this USPS privatization bullshit is making me a thin blue line guy but for the postal service.

probably not the best time to start posting about Luigi’s Mansion

At the movies, what looks to be a beautiful trailer for a movie about a young family, love, and loss starts playing. “Oh I’ve gotta add this to my letterboxd watch-list,” I say to myself. It’s a Volvo commercial.

The my bloody valentine bio is an absolute ride from sentence one

best album from a solo Beatle and it’s not even remotely close

I was actually wondering if that’s the case. I might still look Friday morning at general sale but idk. And my gf likes them but not obsessed with them so dragging her to the floor where it’s that loud might be bad lolol

I got em! Nosebleeds but still holy crap

Sopranos meme where Christopher is saying “it’s called shoegaze, T”—a joke about explaining the genre of music to people who may be unfamiliar with it.

Me explaining to my girlfriend’s parents why I’m setting an alarm for 4am on Thanksgiving vacation to buy My Bloody Valentine tickets in Dublin.

tried watching The Wizard of Oz but had to turn it off. Idk how yall could co-sign the actions of the Wicked Witch. Very problematic how many fans this movie has.

Curious if the “i just saw Wicked” Instagram posts are the dam breaking on phone use in theaters. Will be interesting if so, society has held on to that as a no-phone zone for so long.

something I think about often: the creators of Austin Powers essentially bulletproofed their movie against the progressive march of culture because Austin himself is brought back from cryo and is offensive to a 90s/00s culture—any more offensive he is to 20s society is reflected in the work itself

me at the job I begged god for

if you believe POSAWID—The Purpose of a System is What It Does—then the Democratic Party makes perfect sense. Incredible at shamelessly asking for money. Mid at winning elections (just often enough to stay relevant). Absolute shit at governing and advancing progressive policy lol

It’s so sad cause you can tell his love for music (and theory) is pure and overwhelming. And he’s so excited as an educator. But all the actual music he makes just flops so hard.

when I was like 10 my dad told me a tie is a noose around the working man’s neck. then a guy on the GameFAQs Punk message board told me about anarcho-communism. Rabbit hole from there.

when you send me a Teams to do something on a Friday, this is who you’re messaging. If you even care.
