I blame the lionization of John Wayne as one of the reasons this country is so deeply hosed up. There’s an entire generation of sad drunks staring at John Wayne collectible plates.

I really need a new avatar, but of the two incredible, handsome, champions of the people that I love, I dunno whether it should be Tetsuya Naito or Bernie Sanders.

Went with a few co-workers to an escape room for my birthday and beat it with three minutes to spare, so that was fun. Also, I get the feeling that the guy I'm interested in is seeing someone I'm tight with at work, and that bums me out. So, kind of a weird birthday this year. Hopefully the rest of the year doesn't get weirder.

Went to see The Lodge last night in a tiny, piss-smelling theatre where the sound was turned up way too high and it is easily the most emotionally-destroying movie I've seen since Hereditary. I felt exhausted leaving the theatre and immediately slept for ten hours.

Hereditary to me was a very well made, harmful movie that in the end did nothing but celebrate evil. Whereas a movie like Parasite is funny, sad, crushing, and hopeful (even if it's a born to lose kind of hopeful), movies like Hereditary just remind us that the world is lovely and there is no real escape from it, Donald Trump will win again, suffering is our expression of the entropy of the universe and we are all fundamentally doomed. I can't watch movies or listen to music like that anymore, it's so hopeless it makes me wonder if it's psychic warfare on the people from the same Hollywood demons that reenact Salo every year on Epstein islands the world over. The Lodge dabbles in that same demonology and I just don't know what these kind of movies hope to show us that is going to do anything positive for the world.

A lot to unpack there but the notion that movies dealing with crushing hopelessness weren't around or prevalent before Hereditary, especially in the horror genre, sure is something.Chris James 2 posted:
It was only playing on that one teensy screen here in Toronto (normally a pretty good town for indie film) so they must be doing a slower release. flashy_mcflash fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Feb 23, 2020 |

I didn't say that I said it's a contemporary trend and it is. And the Trump thing is just an example of how our world is fallen and will not recover.

I feel like you're making a good point I should know but legitimately I have an IQ sub 85 and I've read this a ton and it's not making sense. well the first part is just what the post above me said the second part i'm just saying yeah these movies are bleak but i don't think they are just trying to make you miserable, or at least, they don't want to leave you worse off for seeing them. life can be bleak and even when it isn't, we can make it feel like that because that's just part of being human. you seemed confused why stories that celebrate or indulge in darkness are popular. they give us a vessel to explore feelings/desires that it wouldn't be healthy to explore in real life, or at least, it's a better way to do it. it could be anything really, like how people like violent films. same kind of deal, different part of the emotional spectrum. everyone's got their own tastes with that, might just not work for you to watch a bunch of bad poo poo happen in a story. i like going into the depths with things and then coming back out, with no consequences. because i tend to negative thoughts sometimes and if i've just watched a movie like that, i feel like i've satisfied those impulses and my mood is actually better, my thoughts are lighter. it's also more appealing to go to that place with a fictional story than dwell on some bad real world stuff i either can't do anything about or would rather forget. so basically, it's a fantasy. lots of people have a use for it, but the purpose of this stuff really isn't to just rub your nose in how bad the world is, it's actually still a kind of escapism. you're just making things worse for yourself by bringing outside stuff in, and then taking the darkness of the movie back out and forming this tissue of awfulness between the two. dunno if that makes it any clearer. large_gourd fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Feb 23, 2020 |
