@Steve_Sailer when the question of whether or not a white guy could ever play ‘Othello’, Viggo Mortensen had the courage to say “don’t tell me what I can and cannot do.”
but Chadwick Boseman had the balls to say what we all think - “just don’t make it distracting.”

@PYeerk the whole series is the best thing Moore ever did. better than Watchman or V or Miracle Man.
in another world we’d all be becoming more literate watching a League tv series, but we’re stuck in the media-literacy timeline of slop like The Boys.

@DougTenNapel This movie, in particular the glowing-eyed alien possessed scientist, scared my 5 year old and her friend so bad we had to leave the theater. Powerful stuff.
@Logo_Daedalus Whatever happened to our fellow millennials that took “The Bible as Literature” in college? That seemed like a hot item for lapsed Caths in the post-Bush, epic rationalist late 2000’s. It must have cooked them.
@boxedsets It’s a beautiful song, and it was on a promotional compilation that played before the credits at all the megaplexs around Chicago, FOR YEARS.
it’s the anthem of mom getting you off her hands for a few hours at the movies.
@Logo_Daedalus our entire built environment is being tuned to “nature tourism”. which is a dark reflection of actual tourism, ie caravan vacations to the Grand Tetons.
I live in a van wearing Patagonia and ibank via starlink sipping coffee from Starbucks; aren’t I in nature?
@Logo_Daedalus this is a sort of fetish, the result of the breakdown in the American psyche with the material environment.
we cannot see the contradictions, the emulation of form without substance.
