That's a very weird response to a perfectly innocuous post.

Yeah I feel like I remember this happening once before, maybe there should be a coda to this rule that states "people expressing attraction to movie stars is not 'telling us what movies you masturbate to' "

Basically there's a very wide spectrum between "wow Brad Pitt is pretty darn hot" and "therefor I JOed 37 times to Benjamin Button" and the original post is firmly in the "not at all creepy or awkward" end of the spectrum

EDIT: just a world class page snipe, please use this page to continue NOT breaking rule 2a

I really can't believe this has to be a codified rule, how horrible is that? Just stop and think about it for one second, I actually had to sit here and type this thing out here saying that nobody in the entire course of human civilization wants to know what movies you jerk off to. Don't tell us, don't tell us, don't tell us. I will probate the gently caress out of you disgusting orangutan-rear end motherfuckers, Jesus Christ, just don't do it.

Only four episodes in, but I love the ridiculous metalcore song they use for the big action scenes. The monster designs from the original comic are well realized, too, but it's funny how fast paced the show is compared to the comic. The fight with the protein monster takes one episode when it was literal months in the comic.

I got the same rule posted at me when I posted a clip from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle referencing two characters watching The Gift to see Katie Holmes boobs.

I only posted the clip because the Sam Raimi movie came up in discussion.

Troy is interesting because the men in it are fetishized to a much greater degree than the women, despite literally having Helen of Troy in the movie.

drat. I didn't even say anything overtly or explicitly sexual! Lmao.

But for real, Brad Pitt's entire torso is sort of amazing in the movie�it's a character all its own and steals an entire scene in the film. Like, good lord. I have a greater appreciation for the male form and I feel like Brad Pitt as Achilles has to be like one the most aesthetically pleasing characters put to film; my apologies if any implied thirst on my part made you uncomfortable, lmao.

Yeah, exactly. He tops most of the dudes in 300 too, imo, just in terms of like aesthetic proportioning or whatever.

Movie is just ok. I like the fight between Hector and Achilles. Not the director's cut version though�the music in the theatrical cut that scores the fight is so much better.

I read a good article (I think from Men's Health?) about how torturous and ridiculous it is to expect all male action stars to conform to a homogeneous idea of fit, and apparently the movie that set them all on dudes with huge muscles and 1% body fat was Fight Club.

Side note: one of the funniest moments in Fight Club is Brad loving Pitt looking at an underwear ad and saying "real men don't look like that."

Robert Pattinson's response to what training he was doing for The Batman while in quarantine for a GQ interview was pretty great:

GQ interview posted:

The film studio hired a trainer who left Pattinson with a Bosu ball, a single weight, and a sincere plea to use both, but right now, he says, he�s ignoring her. �I think if you�re working out all the time, you�re part of the problem,� he says, sighing. By �you� he means other actors. �You set a precedent. No one was doing this in the �70s. Even James Dean�he wasn�t exactly ripped.� He says that back when he was the star of the Twilight franchise, �the one time they told me to take my shirt off, I think they told me to put it back on again.� But Batman is Batman. Pattinson called another actor on the film, Zo� Kravitz, the other day, and she said she was exercising five days a week during their exile from set. Pattinson, well: �Literally, I�m just barely doing anything,� he says, sighing again.

Lmao.

The entire interview is fascinating. There's a whole segment about a business idea he had for handheld pasta. https://www.gq.com/story/robert-pattinson-on-batman-tenet-isolation-june-cover

quote:

Last year, he says, he had a business idea. What if, he said to himself, �pasta really had the same kind of fast-food credentials as burgers and pizzas? I was trying to figure out how to capitalize in this area of the market, and I was trying to think: How do you make a pasta which you can hold in your hand?�

He says he went so far as to design a prototype that involved the use of a panini press, and then, he says, he went even further, setting up a meeting with Los Angeles restaurant royalty Lele Massimini, the cofounder of Sugarfish and the Santa Monica pasta restaurant Uovo. �And I told him my business plan,� Pattinson recalls, �and his facial expression didn�t even change afterwards. Let alone acknowledge what my plan was. There was absolutely no sign of anything from him, literally. And so it kind of put me off a little bit.� (Massimini says: �It�s 100 percent true, everything he told you.�)

Nevertheless, Pattinson says, he conceived of a brand name for his product, a soft little moniker that kind of summed up what he thought his pasta creation looked like: Piccolini Cuscino. Little Pillow. He thought he�d give the product another go, with me now: �Maybe if I say it in GQ, maybe, like, a partner will just come along.�

So he now takes hold of the bag that he�s brought from the corner store, out of which he produces the following:

One (1) giant, filthy, dust-covered box of cornflakes. (�I went to the shop, and they didn�t sell breadcrumbs. I�m like, �Oh, gently caress it! I�m just getting cornflakes. That�s basically the same poo poo.� �)

One (1) incredibly large novelty lighter. (�I always liked the idea of doing a little flamb�, like the brand name, with kind of burnt ends at the top.�)

Nine (9) packs of presliced cheese. (�I got, like, nine packs of presliced cheese.�)

Sauce. (Like a tomato sauce? �Just any sauce.�)

He puts on latex gloves. He pulls out some sugar and some aluminum foil and makes a bed, a kind of hollowed-out sphere, with the foil. He holds up a box of penne pasta that he had in the house. �All right,� Pattinson says. �So obviously, first things first, you gotta microwave the pasta.�

I watch as he pours dry penne into a cereal bowl, covers it with water, and places it in the microwave for eight minutes. He says using penne is already new territory for him. Usually he uses�well� �Do you know the pasta that�s, like, a little, it�s like a blob, a sort of squiggly blob?�

�Gnocchi?�

�No, no, no, no, it looks like�what would you even call it? It looks like a sort of messy�like, the hair bun on a girl.�

�I have literally no idea what you�re talking about,� I say.

�There was one type of pasta that worked. It definitely wasn�t penne.�

Nevertheless, penne and water in the microwave for eight minutes. In the meantime, he takes the foil and he begins dumping sugar on top of it. �I found after a lot of experimentation that you really need to congeal everything in an enormous amount of sugar and cheese.� So after the sugar, he opens his first package of cheese and begins layering slice after slice onto the sugar-foil. Then more sugar: �It really needs a sugar crust.�

Then he realizes that he�s forgotten the outer layer, which is supposed to be breadcrumbs but today will be crushed-up cornflakes, and so he lifts the pile of cheese and sugar and crumbles some cornflakes onto the aluminum foil before placing the sugar-cheese back on top of it. Then he adds sauce, which is red. The microwave dings, and Pattinson promptly burns himself on the bowl of pasta. He sighs, heavily, looking at it. �No idea if it�s cooked or not.� He dumps the pasta in anyway. At this point, his spirits have visibly begun to flag. �I mean, there�s absolutely no chance this is gonna work. Absolutely none.�

The little pillow now mostly built, he pours more sugar on top of it and then produces the top half of a bun, which he hollows out, places it on top of the rest of whatever the hell this thing is, and�begins burning the top of the bun with the giant novelty lighter. �I�m just gonna do the initials.��

�You look like you�re cooking meth,� I say, because he does.

�I�m really trying to sell this company. I�m doing this for my brand.�

At this point, he accidentally ignites one of his latex gloves, which promptly melts onto his palm. He yells in pain. Then he gingerly holds up the finished product: some approximation of a P, followed by a C, for Piccolini Cuscino, burned into the top of a hamburger bun.

He starts wrapping the whole thing up with more aluminum foil, and then compacts it, and then wraps it some more, and then squeezes it again. Suddenly he stops: �Can you actually put foil in an oven?�

I say yes, you can, but what you absolutely cannot do is put foil in a microwave. And he says cool, cool, and then he goes looking for his oven, which he�s never used before, and this is a nice house, so there are multiple options, and the one he settles on, well: It looks like another microwave to me. He assures me it is not.

�I reckon probably�10 minutes?�

He puts the aluminum sphere, the little pillow, into what he thinks is an oven and I think is a microwave. He attempts to turn it on. �I actually knew how to do this before,� he tells me. �I literally did this yesterday. And now it�s just impossible. It�s going to look like I can�t cook at all.�

He fumbles at some more buttons. �Oh, oh, oh,� he says, excitedly now. �A thousand watts, there you go.�

Proudly he is walking back toward the counter that his phone is on when, behind him, a lightning bolt erupts from the oven/microwave, and Pattinson ducks like someone outside has opened fire. He�s giggling and crouching as the oven throws off stray flickers of light and sound.

�The loving electricity�oh, my God,� he says, still on the floor. And then, with a loud, final bang, the oven/microwave goes dark.

In the silence, Pattinson and I both stare at the mysterious piece of machinery built into the wall behind him.

�Yeah, I think I have to leave that alone,� he says, sighing again, picking himself off the floor. �But that is a Piccolini Cuscino.�

I've seen the show. My issue is beyond that and maybe Ducktales there's almost nothing I'm interested in on there. I like the Marvel films and the Pixar and Disney Renaissance stuff but I don't have any real need to rewatch any of it.
