all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Ticket review during a migraine is special hell. And I'm not running the ticket review. Even worse.

There's deeply meaningful art that connects me to others and/or myself, but the point of art is that it doesn't have to serve a functional purpose. Really cool chairs can be art! Really cool is entirely subjective. Which is also the point.

I'm so dumb on this front. Whatever serves a primarily aesthetic purpose is art. Video games are art, obviously. The stupidest shit on the planet is art, by definition. You won't elevate something by calling it art. The point of art is frivolity.

JANUARY OR FEBRUARY PLEASE I'LL COME FOR THIS

Brokeback Mountain screencap subtitled "this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation."

This is a movie that's like, "Hey, football is a nihilistic, dehumanizing, abusive expression of a deeply sick culture and ethos and it maybe shouldn't exist? Probably. Yeah, for sure. But everyone hurt by it just keeps going THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER so we sure are fucked, huh?"

"These ideas were handled far more gracefully in Oliver Stone’s ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, which understood how to critique a system while worshipping its results." Well, this movie doesn't want to worship the results so jot that down !

It's there, but the movie also frames the whole thing through the lens of eagerness and complicity: it's not interested in casting the players as clueless victims; it knows they aren't.

The reviewer also said that the theme of white ownership of black bodies was badly under-explored and I don't think it was. That wasn't the central point the film was making, but the movie rightly recognizes that you can't talk about football without talking about that dynamic.

"The body horror is neutralized because we don't know what's in the syringes" I have bad news for you about how much pro athletes pay attention to what their trainers are jorking them up with.
