why are so many physical media obsessives also the type of men (yes) who just watch every movie and buy every DVD, like these blokes are impressed by anything but their favourites will somehow always be the "big movies" aka franchise slop
@basic_chanel@bloodstreamrunz yea but clocky trans women get fucking murdered which kind of cancels that out. both forms of violence are awful let's not play oppression olympics
@TheSr101 when I say cynicism I don't mean emotionally complex, rather that Pet Sounds is such a brazenly heart-on-its-sleeve album that it's often dismissed as square
people who don't really listen to 60s music view the entire decade thru the lens of aesthetics and counterculture; most zoomers hear Pet Sounds and get legitimately offended by the lack of cynicism
honestly the Beach Boys are like two or three clicks overrated at this point let’s tone it down. the thing is supposed to be that they’re surprisingly good but yall are acting like they’re tier one 60s amazing like with the Stones/Beatles/VU or whatev. they’re with like…. Wings
I actually think this is one of the reasons why the Beatles are way more beloved, from Revolver onwards their lyrics were mostly digs and callbacks to earlier songs, other celebrities, etc.
My hot take is that the Beatles' self-referential nature actually gets kind of annoying
15 year old girl who died by suicide after being bullied left a note where she named all her bullies. At the memorial service hosted by the school, her father wanted to read the note aloud but the teachers stopped him.
ppl in general are way too afraid to acknowledge the fact that society basically conditions straight women to be blank slates that men can mansplain the "deep stuff" to, so whenever a trans girl talks about a hobby or interest it's immediately read as clocky and malebrained 💀
I'm not a Rocky Horror girl at all (songs are fun) but I do think Richard O'Brien's transphobia has made it into a way bigger target than it needs to be. Some of you talk about Frank-N-Furter like he's Buffalo Bill
@thundergod9696 the protagonists have a giant flying monster shit the blood of the families it devoured all over them and then they proceed to justify how they're going to exploit it the "correct" way
I've always found this scene and its aftermath sort of unintentionally reframe the film's protagonists in a way that most people would not be happy confronting
This joke completely flew over my head as a kid.
Watching it as an adult, you finally realize Woody is desperately trying not to call Buzz Lightyear something a lot less polite than “toy.”
