Wanted to give some of my thoughts and speculation about the Backrooms movie in a thread below!
🚨 SPOILERS 🚨
DO NOT read the below thread if you plan to watch the movie (which I recommend)
‘BACKROOMS’ is tracking to break these records this weekend.
• One of the top 5 biggest openings for a horror film ever
• Biggest opening weekend ever for an A24 film
• Kane Parsons (20) will be the youngest director of all time to have a #1 film on its opening weekend
@Zennistrad I think this also extends to places in which exist outside of time, like a dead mall with 90s aesthetics still having the lights on and some furniture but being otherwise dormant. It is “in between” in the sense that it was made for the past and exists presently, in self-tension
@Zennistrad It’s both a reference to liminality “in between” in physical spaces, as well as temporally, spaces that are seen during periods of time where they aren’t normally used, like a school or office at night bereft of people. It’s in between the times in which it is active
@SoundDobad I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people put photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@die_rizzen I’ve heard about his fiction works, a few of them take place in imagined socialist societies right? I find that interesting, I find imagined conceptions of future communist society to be very interesting
The concept of "liminal spaces" is pretty easy once you understand what "liminal" is - it literally means "in between"
These are spaces which are meant solely to connect to other spaces. To be used, but not *inhabited*. You don't usually pay much attention to what's in a hallway
Guys, I just developed a new recipe. I'll drop it in 5-10 years, once I've completed my the dissertation on its entire history and the complete ethno-cultural context that made it possible and intelligible.
At this rate, I'll be able to post a few recipes here before I die.
@die_rizzen@wilding_gyres but rather from within, from pure inner conviction, & then it externalizes it outward in a sense to actualize it in the world via its universalization. It remains however unverified and separated from tension with otherness that may challenge the feeling and force it to be tested
@die_rizzen@wilding_gyres My interpretation is that The law of the heart is a stage in the development of self-consciousness where it takes what it is immediately felt as necessary, morality or frameworks of reality and elevates them into universal laws. Doing so not through reason, or external authority
