Love in Spanish is much clearer than the love I grew up with.
Two months into dating my partner, I heard "te quiero." To my gringa ears, that meant "I love you," and it felt too soon for words so heavy. I smiled and didn’t say much back.
What I didn’t understand was that it wasn't too soon at all. It was the right word for the moment, a clear sign that feelings were developing.
I was the one without the vocabulary.
When "te amo" came around, months later, I had learned the difference. I said it first, knowing exactly what it meant.
In English, we hand someone a word and ask them to figure out the weight. Spanish gives you the vocabulary to express it all, at every stage.
Shawn Levy would love to see a 'Backrooms' and 'Star Wars' crossover
"I can’t help but be captivated by a ‘Backrooms’ and ‘Star Wars’ mashup ... luckily, I’ve got a little involvement in both, so I’ll see what I can do"

@melmaxxing@ateotbray she's a therapist that goes to Brainfuckery Land after her patient went there too. are no bells ringing for you there?
like there's not direct metaphors maybe (not everything needs to be a 1:1 analog for a movie to tell something!) but there's clearly still intent
@maddyburnhope@melmaxxing@ateotbray aw dang thats an awesome read too actually
for me the ending shot is more of a "does it matter if she died? her twisted image will live on regardless" but thats a nice way of looking at it too
@ateotbray@melmaxxing maybe having her almost die to a twisted version of the person she failed to save, being left at the least traumatized for life in a similar way to her mother and at worst being terminated by an uncaring corporation as her twisted image lives on? shame they didnt do any of that
@melmaxxing@ateotbray yeah man its not like the movie punished her at all. nope. its not like her misguided, selfish therapy led to his direct demise and almost got her killed as well. not at all
