@fifsbo gay as in homosexually charged or as in “me at the [——] store”

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@BugmanMD Yeah this one is pretty much as perfect as they get.

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@poshspicelatte Genuinely hate him and morality doesn’t even have to factor in it. I Feel So Free.

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@BugmanMD I don’t think I’ve gone through any attempt with this one without being annoyed for the vast majority of the runtime. I just don’t think it’s good, but then again INLAND EMPIRE and TP:TR are the only ones I find so remarkable.

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@poshspicelatte She’s annoying and her schtick is definitely a performance but she truly is gorgeous and her sabrina carpenter impression is so so funny

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@staminanX__ *red text*: this is stunning and you’re so talented, cool and pretty

@fifsbo Just realized a dyslexic guy wouldn’t spell “don’t mind if i do” correctly. Whatever

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@fifsbo *dyslexic guy voice* “deck the halls”? Don’t mind if i do 😏

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@BugmanMD Chinese Bookie is one of the better ones tbh; the worst offenders are the gena rowlands ones with the comically large actorly nonsense. Method acting is unforgivable in my book.

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@fifsbo Happy birthday!

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@BugmanMD This might be the one for me…

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@BugmanMD It isn’t good

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@BugmanMD Happy Birthday Lee!!! Hope you have a great one

[Yasser @lnfiniteCapsize]

@BugmanMD Just checked my LB and apparently I had the same reaction to RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY as I did MD but I had somehow forgotten the former existed. I only saw the first of THE WESTERNER eps and remember really liking it but wasn't in the right headspace. I should give it another go.

HARD LABOUR: So fascinated by Leigh’s framing here. The textural grittiness always at odds with the exaggerated/stylized performances. I can’t help but wonder whether he’s shooting *against* the performance style. Either way, the effect is pretty potent.
