Hot wheels movie lore gets crazy

I don't like the "escapist slop" framing. I think I know what OP means but being light entertainment, fantasy, or say mechanics/play oriented doesn't make something slop. Pac-Man is art, y'know. Also baffling lack of Silent Hill in the replies/quotes.

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

I like both "soulsike" and "roguelike/lite" formats because they find a balance between consequential failstates and tedium that creates tension and encourages/forces you to get yourself out of a jam/press on under bad conditions rather than reload a save if anything goes wrong

US State Dept on X: Earlier today, Colombian president stood on a NYC street & urged U.S. soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence Petro: I ask all of the soldiers of the army of the US not to point their guns at humanity. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity Fuckin based

I love a lounge lizard. Harry DuBois, Bryan Ferry, the Thin White Duke, a million different Steely Dan characters, Ben Gazzara in The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, even that creep in Possession. One of neoliberalism’s best mascots, an absurd herald of decay

Almost 30 years and I just realized that the Tomb Raider 1 level name "St. Francis Folly" is probably a joke about how many animals you kill in that game

Don't sleep on this one just because it's a silly topic, we had a blast. Thanks to Serb for coming on!

ILLINOIS!!! Show up and show out at the Broadview ICE facility tomorrow morning. Join us in peacefully protesting for our neighbors. The pressure is mounting — let’s get this inhumane facility shut down. 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM.

jfc silent hill f is almost $100 CDN. I guess the 'F' stands for the fly buzzing out of my empty wallet

Congress considers bill requiring porn performers to use sex toys modelled after Charlie Kirk's penis. Adult industry vets warn such a move would be impractical, as such a device would be "too small to show up properly on camera"

hi there! sorry to be a bother, but you're just so beautiful, and as a gentleman I feel obligated to ask you to sign this form, indicating you consent to appear in any sexual fantasies or dreams I might have

"Hey man you used to give me swirlies every day in the change room before gym class. That was fucked up." Yes perhaps but you see I was processing the trauma of my dad calling my pokemon cards gay, so really we're all just victims of the same oppression

Just got a call from the vet, she’s confirmed the intestinal blockage and is going into surgery between today and tomorrow, gave me an estimate cost of $600 on top of the hospitalization costs We need all the help we can get

Hypocritical leftists laugh at the suffering of Frank Grimes. They think it's funny. They're sick, sick people!

Because the far right takeover of media has occurred globally

charlie kirk dying will probably bury all that bathhouse glory hole stuff forever, huh. probably seems too petty to out a dead guy just to prove hypocrisy or whatever

Metal Gear Solid 2 FIRST PLAY (100% blind) - Raiden is defusing the last c4 here in skin tight ass clenchers that could stunlock a hetero man rn www.youtube.com/live/jWqtDYQ...

Really good conversation in this one. The movie itself is pretty whatever, but the ideas it fails to explore or capitalize on are interesting to pick apart.

doing another bump up on this, external events have left me ... still dragging myself through broken glass.

You see how much hotter princess di was than camilla and you gotta wonder how she won out. like if she was really into anal or something. camilla pork'er bowels

congrats to joe brandon and all the purported defenders of democracy who normalized cracking heads on student protestors in order to cover for israeli genocide. you really greased the skids for ol donnie trump to formally submarine the first amendment

people think the whale dies at the end of The Whale, but he's actually going fat guy super sayan

they're five seconds away from inventing shimigami eyes for chuds

"comedy is tragedy + time" wrong. comedy is when you sing a well known song but make the lyrics gay. suck my fucking peeeenis white boy and so on

You can't build your way to lower housing costs so long as there's a massive ocean of surplus capital out there, with nowhere better to go, looking for an easy speculative investment. Need public housing, wealth taxation, and incentives for materially productive investment!

Archaeologists 2000 years from now digging up anime figurines and ramen wrappers in North America and arguing over whether there was a massive migration from Japan across the northern hemisphere or imperial conquest

Metal Gear Solid 2 FIRST PLAY! (100% blind!) continued! [Incoming Transmission] Raiden-- for God's sake, those pants are TOO TIGHT! Put those things away before the enemy spots them! 😩🤤 www.youtube.com/live/pw7GAmJ...

Too many people worry about the birth rate, and not about the mirth rate

Epstein laughing spreads his wings

Welcome to Utah, Agent 47

Looking for a PCI USB 3.2 card with internal headers and the price varies so much and I can't tell what's legit. Any pointers?

One thing I notice with jesus people is they're often out in public being very nice and helpful and inviting you to free bbqs and stuff. Seems like an effective strategy.

hottest ive ever looked and it's a random no effort selfie that ill never be able to replicate

RIP Scott Spiegel. If you're a horror head check out his underrated slasher "Intruder". Solid thrills and kills, but also perfectly captures the feeling of working a late closing shift at a shitty retail/service job.

I think both education and work, as we have them presently, kill a lot of the impulses of creativity and curiosity, a lot of our initiative to do and improve, because we experience these things through the lens of failure, punishment & rote demand. They become fearful and painful

I'm Not Dead. Totally. Not. Dead. I'm so alive in fact, so alive, they're saying that I might be the most alive that anyone has ever been. And I'm going to keep being alive. Like John Travolta. Remember? With the disco dancing and the white suite. Really, really spectacular suit.

if trump does die we need to start telling qanon types that jd vance, the cia and the gop conspired to kill him.

I have a baseline distrust of YouTube explainers unless the person is old as dirt or looks like the went to school for the topic. Seen too many videos where the person is 25 and is describing something I was present for or have a degree in very inaccurately.

Been thinking a lot about how context shapes our relationships with film, and art in general. All the subjective external particularities. How our relationships with them change, or don't, how they can re-evoke our original feelings or fail to. About embracing our subjectivity.

cuckolds call it the battle of bull run, gay guys call it the battle of manassas

Has anyone released a multiplayer game in recent years that is sociable & hangoutable? Like it's not a job, a grind, horribly competition focused, but a you can jump into and like meet and befriend people instead of a bunch of sullen, angry guys who base their ego on w/l ratios?

One thing I love in a movie, in the relatively rare occasions it's done well, is the eerie ambiguity of catching something at the edge of your vision - a fleeting glimpse, distant, in shadows, half blended into a busy environment - and not quite being able to tell what it is.

One of the problems with chatbots as an agent, much less an intelligence, is that they're totally obsequious. They act like a customer service agent. They never offer friction, firm disagreement, argument - they never mock, condemn, or flatly call you a moron or a jerk. Not like a real other mind.

My take on phones at school is they should go into a farday cage in each classroom as you enter - or have to stay in your locker. But they shouldn't be confiscated all day/entirely prohibited.

Occasionally dabble in tiktok or reels to see what's up, and honestly it seems like not just the algorithm per as, but the invisible demographic filtering, the guessing at your identity and tastes, makes it impossible to usefully read the cultural the tea leaves there.
