gonna become the equivalent of a ludocentrist but for film. gonna start saying how lots of modern blockbuster movies have bad stories and they’ll never be as good as books, so film as a medium should abandon narrative and return to its roots: making audiences think a train is coming right at them

Rian Johnson has proved that he can make a Star Wars movie, but when is George Lucas going to try to prove that he can make a Knives Out movie?

having a lesbian therapist is a valuable to me, because it's important to see a professional who has empathy for a problem that is impossible to change (having to do anything a pretty girl tells me to do)

Sometime late in the Bush administration we as a country stopped illuminating rooms with a floodlight placed directly behind a slowly rotating industrial fan and our nation has been floundering ever since.
One of the absolute dogdick shittiest things to be nostalgic for is how I miss big warehouse sets with a fuckin' huge flood light blasting on the windows

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all
