I feel like SOME PEOPLEβS frame of reference only goes back 5 years before they born, but millennialsβbefore you were 18, whatβs the oldest movie youβd watched?
have been trying to remember how to draw comics, instead iβm tracing photos i took of flowers bc i like how pretty the colors are. i donβt even remember what art is anymore.
so apparently the metal plate that is glued to your windshield can, due to different rates of thermoexpansion from the glass itβs adhered to, CAUSE YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR TO FALL OFF (taking some of the glass with it). look at all the fun things we learn!!!
twitter made it so wordpress cant afford their sharing API β so hereβs the latest mess of words i put on my blog β i was thinking about love and horror

@coilingoracle i think it might have been Dr Strange that finally completely sapped my enthusiasm for blockbusters (and thus basically all of current hollywood films). so much stuff feels so lazy these daysβlackluster spectacleβbut nothing else can do what film does for me in my soulβ¦
finally finished @SGJ72 βs βDONβT FEAR THE REAPERβ and i want to know how his stories can all be so gripping and moving and transcendent and magical and so goddamn funny. literally, i laugh, i cry, β¦ the whole gamut of emotion. perfect, as ever. #readingrec
@avramargariti @HaileyPiperSays but the real kicker is that they can get away with it bc no one ever takes english grammar classes. the closest they get to teaching you how the language works is by exposure. (though we have βESLβ english-as-a-second language, which you can major in, of course.)
So yeah. I'm disgusted by anyone hankering for a return to the Hays Code. For a fantasy of "wholesome" life, you can watch Code movies, anytime. But don't hold that mirror up to me; I won't see myself in it. /end
If you want only sanitized media, it's possible to live your life that way. But the full context of the Code is not about style or wholesomeness; it's about repression, for the *entire* audience, to the detriment of almost everyone, including the innocents. 12/
The ppl who invented & enforced the Hays Code either didn't think or didn't care about the mirror effect of cinema: what we see in the movies influences how we live our lives. That means American culture began to try & live the fantasy. 9/
