In film studies, our prof once went on a rant abt how we have to "de-americanize" our view of art.
iirc "Americans are obsessed with plot. Form, function, feeling, they ignore it all to ask if the plot is believable or logical. All they care about is outsmarting the artist."
Nicolas Cage:
"I'm not doing National Treasure 3..."
Everybody:
"BOO!"
Nicolas Cage:
"...because I want him to go after the Epstein Files!"
Everybody:
"YEEEAAHHHH!"
"I also won't do Spider-Man Noir Season 2..."
"BOOOO!"
"...because Amazon wanted me to sign an AI waiver!"
"YEEEAAHHHH!"
I’m at Halloween Horror Nights right now, and this kid with autism keeps shitting really loud while putting a Homer plush under the stall to look at me. He’s done it multiple times and I caught it on camera.
actually very funny to watch this in a european cinema when you have so much fun laughing at americans and suddenly it’s european‘s turn and everyone is quiet
The thing about loving this scene is that you have to pay attention to two things that aren't Cruise:
1. How the parliament is responding
2. Remember the fact that Kenny is presenting this version of events, and ask why he's making all the choices he is with how it's being shown
In drunkest day,
Till I black out at night,
No liquor shall escape my sight,
Let those who worship the sober life,
Beware my power, Jagermeisters might!
