i love when rich youtubers get into standup comedy. because they all have no ideas beyond observational comedy and simultaneously, they've completely lost touch with anything relatable, so it all comes across like this
If you buy Shiren the Wanderer because of this interview I will promise to rescue you after your first death
the guys making the MGS HD Fix mod on PC are legit geniuses. and heroes. they're heroinuses
the worst part of using letterboxd is that every film that’s not in english has some top review with hundreds of likes, giving it 1 star and basically saying over and over: I DIDN’T GET IT. AND THAT’S THE MOVIE’S PROBLEM.
extremely hilarious connection i just made: the song that plays in Schrader's Mishima: A Life in 4 Chapters as Yukio Mishima disembowels himself is the exact same song used for the end of The Truman Show. it could not be used in any more different a context in both films
why does retro gaming have such a high crossover with ai crap? i assume average age but most retro gamers are obsessed with fidelity; they spend tons to eke out a fraction more quality. yet apparently they're willing to generate and tolerate computer garbage in all other facets of their life
it is a genuine crime against art that ezra edelman’s 9 hour prince doc will never come out. whole thing’s finished! you’ll just never be able to see it. one of the most interesting documentary filmmakers of the last decade or so. just COMPLETELY cancelled. i’ll be seething for the rest of my life

MiSTer owners be like “should i play super mario bros 2 or the fan translation of doki doki panic”
this is how it feels to follow zohran even though i ain't ever been to america
when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
Cleansing the timeline with this: Martin Scorsese was unaware of the initial controversy surrounding Kundun because he was too locked in on the Gallagher brothers lmao.
the whole selling point of Dr Kawashima's Brain Training was that it worked out your brain. it was a game that became popular cause it required mental effort. now people prompt AI bots to write entire paragraphs for them, for the exact opposite reason
making something original is so scary man. you have no idea if it's total crap or fantastic the entire time. it's hilarious that the human spirit only comes to a conclusion about that once it lets go of the work and releases it for others to see
everybody talks about how film is getting worse because of this reason or because of that reason... but nobody says the real reason movies have gotten worse: because they stopped making films starring method man and redman
i wish i had the self confidence of a ubisoft game. yeah, we’re not gonna let you skip this cutscene. cause it’s just THAT good. that’s right. this bland piece of cardboard that we call a protagonist? buy a metal poster of them on displate TODAY.
