Descartes talks about abandoning his heated room to wander amidst the opinions of men for nine years as a spectator, a practice recreated in the modern lurker by never leaving one’s room

It's not great that the pedophile cabal is looking more and more obvious for many many reasons, but one particular reason im concerned with atm is that it confirms the laziest positions one can take against current society. the problem with capitalist society is not the rule of immoral elites

last two minutes of bone temple straight up knock that movie down a peg. pathetic decision

best picture rankings (of what i've seen) 1. One Battle After Another 2. Bugonia (plemons robbed btw) 3. Frankenstein 4. Sinners

genuinely stunning image

Nimander reminding me off Julian from LOGH in that he is also a second generation goat

Toll the Hounds was crazy good, best book in the series (so far). Is Anomander Rake the most glazed man of all time? yes, but he deserves it. breakout stars of the book was ofc Nimander and the gang. A complex relation filled with doubts, and to see those doubts contested was heartening reading.

"wow this scene in no other choice is better than most of the best picture nominees" yeah man thats how scenes work. one battle car chase is better than most nominees. sinners musical scene is better than most nominees. get real

There’s a strange attitude one can have towards the written word, where if you mention something from a book, share an authors idea, the listener discards what you say and suddenly demands your own thought. Not out of curiosity, but a rejection of the idea that someone can share an idea of value

Hey guys can you just watch my rules-based international order for a sec

Been encountering in media the value of doubt/nuance as opposed to certainty to a surprising degree. I’m all for it of course

Didn’t like no other choice as much as Park Chan-wook’s other movies, but it was still good (maybe not great). Funny, but doesn’t stick the landing

Been really enjoying this single player climbing game called peaks of yore. Getting to the end levels which are inducing a strong tension in that a mistake now costs 20-30 minutes. Not built for Bennett foddy game I’m afraid

Just one of many ways you can percieve the rise of fascism, but in modern godzilla movies man can no longer be percieved as helpless against nature (even as that truth becomes more and more apparent in reality). Now, a fighter jet fires a missile at rodan, and rodan cries in pain.

Watching King Kong vs godzilla rn and the opening goes hard. An ill omen

They don’t tell you that the reason you have to watch godzillla 1954 is because you will never see a movie get absolutely mogged by its opening credits like that

the thing where people taking prediction markets with a hint of seriousness is fucking insane. like anybody who actually says like "oh its a valuable service, its actually a prediction based on the wisdom of the market/masses" is complete bs at first glance. like its just gambling

Reapers Gale was very good, with its cast and focus it couldnt not be. However i think it stumbled, i think the awl/drene plotline was massively underdeveloped yet also had little to do with the rest. Like Redmask/the Awl wars are a cool idea but they couldn't shine in this book

“The international community has offered mixed reactions, from congratulations in Israel to condemnation in Russia” Mere description that in seeking the pureness of neutrality achieves something far more ideological than some political principal

what the fuck man

i am fond of this "beak" fellow

they're calling it no other choice because you can only watch it in new york or LA

bro my local cinema reopened after years of renos and its gone to shit. twin cinema turned into 1 screen with floor seating and balcony seating. floor seating are 4 legged chairs, balcony seating is cinema seating but angled poorly for a too-small screen, giving the impression of watching a tv

every family christmas got that one guy working in the F-35 program wearing a panzer IV shirt as a christmas sweater

Greatly enjoying the names in this bauchelain and Korbal broach short story. Agin Again is perfect, almost a Tomino name

Read this book in like 2 days, this shit was good.

Complaining about Clair obscura in particular with regard to the game awards is stupid, because it is not only the winner but the nominees that reflect that poor vision. Clair obscura was in like company, another realistic rpg, a sequel too similar to the trailblazing original, the Nintendo nominee

People mad about the game awards are crazy, event crazier than some hypothetical person who enjoys the show at face value. I think Clair obscures was destined to win because it is perfectly fits the “game awards” perception of video games. It is of a traditional genre with a realistic art-style/

Jason mamoa is blanka

I like pluribus, though I think the show doesn’t necessarily explore the most interesting parts of a good premise. That being said, crazy to see anyone failing to sympathise with carol.

Little brothers been really getting into DEX recently so I got him a wood grain ring for Christmas

Shadowthrone would love getting mad at video games. “What the hell bro I had you in my grasp” type shit

Some photos from a long day out at Luna park

Greyfrog deserves birkin bag

Bro was ensorcelled

Da solemn soldier

Had several incredibly mild nightmares last night. In one of them, as it started to occur to me that this multi-perspective narrative doesn’t make any sense ( I may have even though “hold on shouldn’t dreams be my perspective?”) I rapidly “fell” out of the dream and awoke with a yelp

You have to be kidding me why is the last Daniel craig bond movie the only good one. Granted I’m only an hour in but goddamn its an actual thriller and not another bullshit dive into the past

You know what. The big family get together meals suck. Like I’m thinking Christmas but American thanksgiving counts too. The dishes don’t complement each other, Im might as well be eating the ingredients of a meal.

Uh oh, friend of a friend wants to show you a video on his phone about “mark McGowan”

Rewatching exhuma. Stil goated. I think it Mr Park is the wettest looking man I’ve ever seen in film

Oregon pronounced like porygon cognitohazard

Give me the aux and you know I’m putting on Umbría homecomer. That lute hits and I am instantly attacked

Qualityslop is a real thing btw. The hallmarks of quality are taken on by the art not because the art calls for it but because the production demands it. At least this is how I conceive of it in mass-media products

Have been watching the Daniel Craig bond movies and am really impressed with bonds desire to crash a helicopter into a crowd of people. He just wants it so bad

Call me the warlock king the way one hard Ceda knocks me on my ass

Started saying beast mode again a couple of months ago. That has since shortened to “beast”, and now that singular expression has found itself evolved into the expressions “that’s so beast” and “beast(ing/ed) on it” #beastlinguistics

Lmaoing at the juxtaposition between the tiste edur chapters and the tehol beddict chapters in midnight tides

Renttokill dot com

Lmao started reading red star over china and this journalist talks to these guys on the train and this student is telling the journalist that the reds might not be bandits but they kill too many people- but then this old man interrupts with “they don’t kill enough”. It’s always been dark woke
