@bussykiarostami @bel1ndasayss @kringrush the script is absolutely incredible and the pacing is mostly due to the way the script was constructed (gives it a never ending sense of acceleration, just a genius writer move) but man is the editing good. that film is immaculate

also the music makes the whole thing work

@kevin_thames @StokeyyG2 i like how people are somehow mad at a european who’s impressed by our stadium logistics. yall gotta learn about soft power

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@brand0nmurray @BamaExpat the final game being at Death Valley at night where fans get to tailgate and eat grilled alligator would restore U.S. soft power on a global scale

@Pete___Hughes @BamaExpat * university towns
* olympic medalists (see above)
* movies, tv, music
* food
* musical theater
* the US military being able to build a burger king anywhere on earth in under 48 hours
* fighter jets (see above)
* amusement parks
* bass pro shop monolithic pyramids

@_BurningRiver @BamaExpat just more ammunition in the gun that App State walking into the big house and slaying Michigan is the single most badass thing that’s ever happened. moon landing is 2

@CGC_SI @INtheHoosierSt @BamaExpat It’s just a completely different contextual scale. it’s like calling a 293 bucket-wheel excavator the “biggest car ever made” lol, sure by some vague technical definition that’s correct but everyone knows that doesn’t count as a car

@Wixson7 @idogafagainig @DomJackson7 @flameosumeet no you’re not, you’re being smarmy and you know it lmao

in the context of this discussion, $575 and $1200 are the same. the point is they’re keeping seats empty by artificially inflating prices far above market value. if you can’t afford a $1200 ticket, you can’t do $600 either

@kylebutlerr1 @jmce95 the looped bird chirp every 17 seconds on the dot kills it. once you start hearing it you’ll never be able to enjoy it again

@taobanker when you watch the ILM documentary all the special effects guys are like “I was 23 making movies with action figures at my parents’ house and I saw a flyer on a telephone pole by UC santa cruz for a movie gig. the movie was star wars”

i’m not even kidding. that’s what happened

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@star1ightstan13 how do you say “good people who follow the rules are the same people who want to build trains. the rules are the way they are because regulatory responsibility gets lost in its own echo chamber” in a way that will make people finally get it if they don’t already

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@moebius_strip one of facts that’s always stuck in my mind is that from a pure energy utility cost perspective in the modern day, it’s *technically* far more climate friendly to live in arizona with your air conditioning running 24/7 than to live anywhere you have to turn on a heater

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@Dharmaxgreg @realmaddox can we call the “republicans do something awful so you immediately get mad at democrats” genre of tweet a Bluesky Twist

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@PetreRaleigh the next level of this thought game is “did you know that 1920s authors who published novels during the spanish flu almost wholly refused to tackle the subject of a pandemic? with few exceptions, it’s like they collectively decided to just not talk about it”

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@PetreRaleigh it’s interesting but it’s also just the age-old “why is every restaurant and shop in a movie some mom and pop place, if movies actually reflected reality they’d be at wal-mart or mcdonald’s” thing, the entirety of postmodern cinema is a fundamental sidestep of this issue

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@Ryan_Gasoline @jtimsuggs shit at least they thought it themselves for free. at this point there’s an 80% chance you’re a slightly more clever than average bot account which would be really depressing

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@IrritableBowel2 @whatevrrrrick there’s a chance when the guy posted it he thought “what if some asshole screenshots this to make fun of me on twitter? nah that’s ridiculous, no one will do that” and then here you come. can’t have shit anymore

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@OverRazeGamerYT @BryceTown1 @DomTheBomb Oh yeah they ruined it. 92% on steam, huge sales, 8 HBO emmys, a million goty awards, broad consensus best PS4 era graphics ever and a hell of a lot of people who actually played it going holy shit. this is brilliant

Hillcrest and the hospital are two of the best sequences ever

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

you could replace “Backrooms” with “The Sopranos” in this tweet and nothing would change lol

[Montanus @JohnHardyWV]

How much of Backrooms’ compelling atmosphere is the anxiety of growing up in an empire past its peak?

I don’t know, but the movie felt familiar. For context, a building I worked in for two years:

@BrianCPT @DuncanS21 this might be my favorite pothole of all time because it could only have happened by accident. george lucas is feeling himself on two completely separate occasions and never puts it together lol i love the phantom menace

[Exorbitant Bosch @dontfallforem]

@BrianCPT @DuncanS21 oh come on in the cellar of your heart you know this is bullshit lmao

like if Chekhov bizarrely added a submarine to act 1 of a play, but! in act 3 it floods! the one specific scenario where a submar- nvm. the sub is never mentioned again

just don’t add it in the first place
