Hell yeah you're real close to what I consider some of the best stuff the show did, the s3 and 4 mythology arcs, they're so good

Christ, I got jumpscared by that YouTube money reveal. Spending a few minutes on the twitch stuff, seems like a lot of money, and then it turns out all of that was almost a rounding error compared to the YouTube ad revenue is insane.

I only make fun of the ones who then go on to shit on people's equipment like "you can't take a good photo with that lens, it's not as sharp as <x>"

This is mostly old guys on forums who never happen to post an actual photo they've taken with their super sharp lenses besides charts and brick walls

I saw Denis present a 70mm screening of Lawrence in Toronto a few years ago when Dune was just coming out and he said it's one of his favourite movies and that he was very inspired by it.

So I went and saw Dune and... Kept checking my watch the whole time. Lawrence meanwhile locks you in so hard

If you open the book Lawrence wrote, page 1 is a poem dedication he wrote that might be one of the most gay things I've ever read (it's quite a good and very emotional poem)

He also mentions a LOT of gay sex was going on in the desert

Yeah Dune was pretty specifically based on Lawrence's book Seven Pillars of Wisdom

A lot of David Lean movies have a somewhat strange feel where it's like caught between eras of film history. They're simultaneously Of Their Time and Ahead Of. Lawrence is his most fun movie though

This is why NASA needs more funding. Fuck the moon, let's orbit Congress.

The standout for me was the really really unnerving cop interrogator dude, what a creepy motherfucker

I can't wait to rewatch it
