is it the obsessed with rape part or the not getting basic ideas part

i like how a character that is an abusive and murderous narcissist has to be the product of a demon, and cant possibly be something like due to a lovely childhood and being on super coke

because its not like people can just be evil themselves

that and i cant help but laugh when anyone in the thread is like "this is just david lynch being lazy"

nerds who by nature are known for spending all their time passively consuming media all day have really killed that word as a valid critique

I mean, all those professions' rates are definitely higher than average, and especially so in countries where guns aren't everywhere.

Apparently there's only been one recorded killing of a person by a kangaroo but deer kill like 120 people a year in murder suicides.

I worked with a guy in EMS who murdered his pregnant wife, tried to cover it up and make it look like a robberry , and just went to work that day with us at the station he even brought a casserole for us to eat that his wife made the night before he murdered her.

i prefer that some of the stuff in twin peaks is just there for flash and aesthetics. like i dont think there's any greater point to the french woman except as characterization for gordon cole and to provide some levity. lynch is using his horny old man nature to poke fun at himself because the show isn't a tightly written saga but more a loose ramble through a collaborative partnership created cult show

rather this and roadhouse vignettes than little nicky and james' highway adventures (supernadine was always cool tho)

also my favorite scene in the entire season so far is the bar sweeping one

i always get a little annoyed when tv shows or movies overexplain things like they have characters turn to the camera and literally spell out what's happening - like the last ten minutes of interstellar. but then i read tviv and i realise they probably aren't even going far enough.

like i can't imagine what it'd be like to enjoy media like that just on the level of flashy colours and blinking lights. imagine watching a show and just going 'oh this is happening. and now this is happening. oh, now this is happening. huh.'

I occassionally like to read TVIV (and :tvtropes:) of stuff I've watched to see what other people thought of it. Most of the time, the result is some mixture of shock and bemusement at people being unable to get neither text nor subtext. I'm currently prototyping an appropriate German compund noun for that feeling.

the most shocking thing is that these aren't people who just don't have the required cultural knowledge or people who are just inexperienced at decoding fiction - these are people who bingewatch all these shows, who've watched hundreds of movies. what do these people get out of it, even? what's the point

President Trump nearly got to the White House early — he was reportedly “in serious talks” in 2015 to play the commander in chief in “Sharknado 3.”

“The Donald said yes,” David Latt, who’s part of the team behind the Syfy flying fish franchise, told The Hollywood Reporter in a Wednesday story.

The idea to cast Trump as a fictional president on the “Sharknado” series — which always features a flood of pop culture and political cameos — came from its star, Ian Ziering. The former “90210” actor had appeared on a season of the then-Trump hosted “Celebrity Apprentice” as a contestant and reasoned “his reality TV boss would make a good commander in chief,” The Hollywood Reporter writes.

“He was thrilled to be asked,” Latt said of Trump, although he apparently wasn’t the “Sharknado” team’s first POTUS pick. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) was originally selected for the role, but negotiations with the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate ultimately fell through.

While negotiations with Trump “got pretty far,” and a contract was drawn up, weeks went by and producers hadn’t heard from the real estate mogul.

“Donald’s thinking about making a legitimate run for the presidency, so we’ll get back to you,” Latt says Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, told him at the time.

Instead, casting pros ended up offering the “Sharknado” role to Mark Cuban.

The Dallas Mavericks owner has been an outspoken critic of Trump.

After the casting switchup, Latt says, “Then we immediately heard from Trump’s lawyer.”

“He basically said, ‘How dare you? Donald wanted to do this. We’re going to sue you! We’re going to shut the entire show down!'” Latt recalled.

Cohen told the Reporter that while he had dinner with Ziering about casting Trump, he had “no recollection of the angry correspondence.”
