don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

I love when she's going up to the house and the audience is doing the "don't go in there" thing, but more because she's gonna lose her job than because of scariness yet

*tuning back in for a second* "I'm sorry, you said he can smell people? Like a bloodhound? This is the same guy as the kinfe-hands??"

A shot of a gorgeous apartment from a 1986 John Woo movie. It is pretty dated but somehow both stylish and cozy.

Mentally I’m here (1986 Hong Kong apartment from A Better Tomorrow)

I like to think about if the situation were exactly reversed: as bad as Trump is, I don’t think anyone would argue the solution is blowing up him, most officials in both parties, and a bunch of schools,hospitals and apartments. It shouldn’t be hard to understand that this is not “helping the ppl”

His poor mommy…

I get mad about it the way people get mad about Brave or Princess and the Frog for being talking animal movies

It’s so bad, they have a nice little premise and an incredible score and then it takes a hard left turn

Nobody has ever looked cooler shooting two guns at the same time than Chow Yun Fat

WOW

Thanks Tudd

Another fair at best day at work, due once again entirely to my own shortcomings. Nothing to do about it but go see John Woo’s 1986 Hong Kong action classic, A Better Tomorrow, for the first time

I didn’t used to ship Eddy and Bea in Duolingo but (in Spanish at least) they’ve gotten a bunch of stories like “Bea helps Eddy prepare for a date by watching a movie together, but then his date cancels” and look. I’m not made of stone

On May 8, 2027 this will happen to all cubes

It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

Dog whose face is too flat to breathe

Enjoying a bit of schadenfreude over the fact that Jim Carrey, who had that phase where he was on red carpets dismissing all of fashion as shallow and idiotic, has now gotten such terrible work done on his face that he’s “unrecognizable” (actually plenty recognizable but still)

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

GENERAL: *sternly* killing vietnamese children

I need to raise $120 TODAY to at least cover the room for TODAY. Anything helps!

Anyway it was really something special, I loved it

The movie kind of works on three levels: the narrative film they’ve written and are shooting, the mildly prank show element as they interact with genuine passersby who aren’t in on it, and then the metafictional acknowledgment of THAT which almost makes the mockumentary format into its own making-of

A couple of them are pretty big Matt jokes but I like towards the end when Jay looks at the camera and goes “you guys know what I’m doing, right?” It’s a fun way to address the inherent difficulty of telling a story with two characters where one has to mislead the other but not the audience

There’s a couple times in Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie where they break the fourth wall a bit to like check in with you as an audience that I found really interesting and clever

Not a great endorsement that the conversation around Platner has gone from a more philosophical "what does it look like when a seemingly eager soldier/PMC takes up socialism" to "is this specific guy a closet antisemite or just extremely stupid"

it’s wild how everyone hates Fetterman (correctly) and there’s a guy running who’s basically holding a huge I’m The Next Fetterman sign and it hasn’t slowed him down at all

A photo of my hand holding the Sakeru “Stringy Gummy” that’s all one piece

The thing about the “Long Long Man” gummy is it really is ridiculously long

stared at browt so much i had a vision
