I love things like this. Movies that don't see the light of day until years after filming. Have you seen New York Ninja? Shot in 1984 and shelved until someone found it in like 2020. It was like 8 hours of film with no sound, full script, storyboards, or actor credits. A director had to edit it down to movie length, reconstruct a script by reading the actors lips, and have all the ADR done.

Roland's revolvers from The Dark Tower. Forged from the melted steel of Excalibur. I really hope the next adaptation they're doing will be good

Oh, that's okay. I don't criticize Israel very much anymore. I jump straight to "Death to Israel, death to all Zionists" which isn't criticism so much as it is an attempt at manifestation

As a resident of LA County every day I fantasize about heading down to UCLA with a leaf blower and a big ass bag of eriodictyon parryi cuttings and seeing how much havoc I could wreak on the Zionists before people catch on to what I'm doing

Hmmmm movies I do like. Terry Gilliams stuff is good (Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Time Bandits, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). Some classic stuff like Double Indemnity, Some Like It Hot, The Great Escape, 12 Angry Men, lots of Hitchcock stuff like North by Northwest or Rear Window. Big fan of the old school Godzilla stuff as well. Comedies are great, anything Mel Brooks (Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles) or Leslie Nielsen (Airplane) or John Candy movies like Uncle Buck or Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Some more modern rom coms like While You Were Sleeping or Much Ado About Nothing. A lot of Coen brothers stuff and Wes Anderson. Idk Christopher Nolans stuff just doesn't have characters or drama that draws me in. It's like big set pieces and super serious white dudes and idk it just doesn't do anything for me. Memento was a good mystery and interesting concept and Interstellar is probably his next best movie but everything else is just like movies for people who use Letterboxd.

Hot take: Memento is his only good movie

I liked Memento but the rest of his work is basically forgettable to me. I saw all the Batman movies and I imagine if I gave a shit about Batman or cape shit in general I would have liked it but as it stands eh. Dunkirk put me to sleep and I haven't seen Oppenheimer but I imagine it would put me to sleep even faster. Inception was kinda cool when I first saw it but when I really think about it's not very interesting either. Interstellar had a few interesting bits but once again mostly just boring. The Prestige I could barely pay attention to and the twist I just didn't care about. All in all most of his shit is just completely uninteresting to me.

May Allah bless him with another stroke 🙏

They think the end game is those episodes of X Files with subliminal messages in the TVs that make people hallucinate and kill their spouses except instead they're gonna make straight guys want dick. Their vision of the future isn't a boot stamping on a human face forever its the Cigarette Smoking Man inserting sissy hypno captions into the video stream during Monday Night Football

Idk it was normal for her I think. She and her parents share their locations with each other and her and some of her bffs also share their locations together so also having me in the mix was just the next logical step I guess. My family doesn't do any of that shit so for me it was like damn this is uncomfortable

My partner used to have us do that Life 360 location tracking stuff and I hated it. Just felt fucking wrong. I don't need to be watched and held accountable for every second of everything I do and I have zero desire to spy on my partner. This thing of wanting to know where everyone is at all times is so fucking weird to me.

Oh hey I have that too. And yeah that's the thing about removing your inhibitions. I spend so little time talking to people and it can start to all spill put once I get drunk. I usually smoke weed when I drink which kinda helps me rein in that tendency

Alcohol causes significantly more anxiety than it cures

Maybe I'm built different but I've been drinking for a good decade now and this has not been my experience at all. Is this typical for other people?

Not that weird. There is a lot of perceived value in certain features that there is a level of cultural consensus about but that changes a lot too over time and between sub cultures and everyone has their own personal taste. The chuds are all drooling over Sydney Sweeneys breasts but for me personally there is something weird about her face that I can't put my finger on. And I much prefer brown hair over blonde so all in all the new "it girl" is not attractive to me at all.

Context matters too. Keira Knightley in Pirates of the Carribean? Stunning. Pirate queen of my heart. Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice? Boooo. Boring. Why does this version exist. The BBC miniseries with Colin Firth was much better. Same thing with guys. Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Carribean. Meowww. Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings? Also boring. I might actually just have a thing for pirates come to think of it 🤔

Shit man we don't drink because it tastes good we drink because that's how you get drunk. If they invented a way to do it with a pill or nasal spray or a dermal patch I'd be game (boofing is a hard pass tho). Straight alcohol tastes like ass especially beer that's why I mostly drink sweet wines like moscato or a cocktail with lots of mixer.

I am extremely anxious, insecure, inhibited, self conscious and antisocial so I basically can't exist in a social situation unless I get at least a little tipsy. I consider it a necessity for socializing. If you don't have that problem then no reason to force yourself to drink. Lots of people don't drink. I also don't know any violent alcoholics and I don't get hangovers so I don't have a lot of the negative associations with drinking that many people have.

And there's a huge leap between bar hopping and drinking alone in your room. You can have a romantic evening sharing a bottle of wine with your partner, you can have share a few drinks with friends around a campfire, you can treat yourself to a little can of something after a day of yard work or a long hike. All nice enjoyable little moments. People have been drinking wine forever for a reason. It's just nice. But if it's not your thing that's okay and you shouldn't feel bad. Some people might try to make you feel bad about it but that's just their own insecurity about how much they themselves drink more than anything I think.

Queens of the Stone Age actually

Oh it was so cool. It was the 48th annual Stoddard Wells Rockhound Tailgate put on by the Victor Valley Gem and Mineral Club in California. 3 days of buying, selling, and trading rocks, gems, minerals, and fossils out in the Mojave Desert. You don't even have to vend you can just camp and hang out. Look at cool rock collections during the day and smoke weed around the camp fire under the stars at night. Can't wait to go again next year

Hard to argue with. I'm 28 and work at a warehouse and the guys I'm friendly with on a surface level just to kinda be personable will say some shockingly homophobic and misogynistic things if you listen to them talk long enough. Like I can't be friends with these guys, not really.

Conversely, I met this really cool guy the other day at a rockhound meet up who was super chill and left. He goes diving for jade in Big Sur and was super into scallops so I traded him some marine shell fossil conglomerates and lapidary slabs and polished agate nodules for chunks of jade and some weed. Me and my partner just vibed with him and his buddy and it was great. Guys that cool are few and far between unfortunately.

Every time I see the "Palestinians aren't real before X date" discourse mentioned I will bring up the fact that my grandfather was born in Jerusalem in 1930 and on his birth record it lists his father's nationality as Palestinian. In 1930. Fucking Zionists
