Inherent Vice is so goddamn funny. Like, it's a 2.5 hour shitpost (with one harrowing scene), that got a good laugh from me almost every scene. From the acting, to the writing, to the editing and framing, there's a joke hidden everywhere. How many takes were ruined by the names alone?
Holy shit, I was not expecting to love Marty Supreme as much as I did. Great flick, and probably the least cringey of the Safdie movies that I've seen.
In response to this horseshit:

I recommend not watching it, though.
"Let me be very clear. We are punching down. We are the bullies, as we should be. We are murdering whoever we want. We are raining death upon as many babies and puppies of these spineless cowards as we can. They had the capability to wipe us out as a nation, but were too weak and stupid to stop us."
Fuck
I think it's obligatory for a band to do a full stop at some point in a song when the singer sings "Stop."
I couldn't figure out a better way to say that.
It's been over a couple decades since I last watched Buckaroo Bonsai. At the time, I didn't get it at all. Thought it was a goofy, dumb movie. Just rewatched it, and I totally get it. It's a goofy, dumb movie, and I think I love it.
It's a fun little romp.
I was fully expecting to say that Young Guns 2 was garbage, but it really wasn't. They were both fun westerns with compelling characters and decent to great acting. Kinda sad that they're either completely forgotten or just meme movies now.
Ok, hear me out... Young Guns is a pretty fun movie. It's not fucking Kino or whatever, but it's a hell of a bop. Bubblegum Western was a pretty untapped genre, but I dig it.
Just found out that the insipid (you're welcome Todd's dad) song "Seasons in the Sun" was a sort of cover of one of my favorite Beirut covers, "Le Moribond," which I also just figured out was a cover.

And, like, it seems like Coppola found out what a mouth harp was a couple weeks before filming.
Y'all motherfuckers mad at Godfather III because of Sofia Coppola's acting when George Hamilton is right there stinking up the screen in Robert Duvall's place?
Damn, one of my favorite actors. RIP
Literally doing the "fuck one sheep" joke, but it's about human lives.
I was almost fired for taking advantage of my CEO's "open door policy" and pleading for him to reconsider his policy of firing anyone without at least a college degree. Not for myself, but for one of my team members. It sucks when your belief in other peoples' sincerity is destroyed.
For sure
I liked "Keeper" more than I thought I would. The first hour is fantastically shot and creepy. After everything gets explained, it loses its charm, I think. Still, though, fun flick. My biggest complaint is the score. Way too much "spooky music" for my taste. Overall, Osgood Perkins has my kudos.
When I was in sound design school, I got to see this happen in real time. For one thing, the actors are really good at nailing tone. For another, they repeat the whole line along with the original multiple times. Then, it's up to the sound designer to match EQ, volume, and many other factors.
Nailed it
I guess technically they're right.
TIL: the penguins at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle love classical music and The Beatles 😭🖤
Take a moment to lower your blood pressure with this one.
My football stream glitched and the audio was... interesting.
Happy Intergalactic Bowie Day

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.
