@wiredphantom Genuinely I don't care if it makes me like one of those insane "first night at a hotel" videos, the thing I keep in my purse that I get the most use out of is a kit of cleaning products to quickly clean before sitting down.
@ellieglassheart Yeah those places all lack basic etiquette genuinely I feel like it's gotten even WORSE recently (might just be from where I was standing though), why I dipped from all those places.
it also doesn't really make sense with the central theme because why would people get stuck in *our* equivalent of indoors-sludge, and not their equivalents?
I've seen a few people say this... but the movie implies the exact opposite? The pool area, the open-ish garden area, the fact that at the end it's "eating" the ottoman and the ruins of the house, it's directly implying that it's shifted step by step with humans?
@fibonyancci Eh, I'd say yes, mostly a thriller, not really a really scary movie, not really trying to frighten as much as build up paranoia in the viewer.
Watched the backrooms, really enjoyable, very well shot, the effort in the camera work is clear, not a crazy once in a lifetime movie by any means the main running allegory and conceit is kinda weak and not that interesting, but it is executed on well, also great sound work
At the end of Moby Dick the white whale crushes the whaling boat, naturally large whale is stronger than small boat. This attention to powerscaling is why it has endured as a literary classic.
Like the mexican army does a bunch of evil shit and then the american army always shows up a couple of moments later to do something that is ten times worse
Mexico: it was a harsh and beautiful raw sort of nature that towers over man the people looked at us with an air of pity.
cross the border: a statue of jesus had fallen to the ground and its shattered hands covered its face as if weeping a plaque read "kind people scalps 50$"
Internet zeigeist is obsessed with the Judge but one of the actual funniest things from Blood meridian is the difference in how Mccarthy writes Mexico environments vs Us environments.

@sunsobeisance There's a couple of works and books it takes inspiration from but it draws VERY heavily from plato's republic, the group child-rearing, the philosopher kings and pseudo cast structure, even being Atlantis (atlantis was a recurring motif in Plato's work as an allegory for hubris)
