Paul Bettany has always randomly been one of my favorite actors ever since i saw this movie on cinemax when i was fifteen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEXQkWlG8b8 haven't seen it since. dont want to do it and realize it's garbage but just always remembered him staring people down and saying "look into my loving eyes."

Wandavision episode 4 made it very apparent why they showed critics the first three episodes.

 Found a chuck steak in my freezer, decided to try a steak diane as suggested on my Anova sous vide app. The steak was still pretty tough, but the sauce was  (it's under the steak).

Silly Burrito posted:Get to episode 4. Watching it with the wife as a post baby bed time unwinding show. We saw episode 4 and that's the worst one yet. Obviously Wanda is the one responsible for all the sitcom wackiness. The show demonstrated that at the end of the first episode when she rewound time to avoid unpleasantness. I didn't need a full episode to establish that even more explicitly. It's fine. The gimmick is diverting in the same way watching old TV can be interesting. You can really see how drastically TV story telling has evolved to match a more narratively sophisticated audience. They do a good job of mimicking the tropes of earlier era TV but that's nothing I can't get from watching an occasional episode of earlier era TV. I saw a few episodes of Taxi last year and it's weird how the plot of a full episode wouldn't even fill a B plot by today's standards. I'm just not seeing what you guys are that makes this riveting television. What is really grabbing y'all about it? Oh and Paul Bettany/Gangsta #1 do own. That movie is a big nothing made terrific by he and McDowell's pulpy scene chewing.

It’s an incredibly fresh take that’s doing the whole “wait.. do these folks know..? Or what?” Back and forth very well. For me it’s enjoyable thus far

I just started episode 3, but I really appreciate how they're taking something as huge as the marvel movies and putting it into just a little tv show. That's pretty unique and regardless of how it ends up, they get credit for trying something new. Especially with a property like this; it's cool Disney is taking a chance with something different. There's really not an comparison. Maybe if the Star Wars Christmas Special hadn't been a drunken, stoned disaster. Like if DC tried to do this it'd be a darker version of the first season of True Detective.

Keep in mind that this year we get a Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special which I hope to hell is a straight up adaptation of the Star Wars one. We are gonna watch Groot's uncle watch VR porn y'all.

I recently re-read the first two Hitchhiker's Guide books (and got started with the third before realizing I'd probably need a break) and man, yeah. hard to imagine so much of what was envisioned in these was from the late 1970s and early 1980s. oh this is good

That is one book I should probably reread. I read it in high school and then again about ten years ago, each time taking something new from it so I can only imagine what I would glean from it this go around.

Turns out, a lot of the British references

Speaking of rereads, I reread Cryptonomicon like 2-3 years ago and realized that the idea of cryptocurrency has been around since at least the 80s. There is a lot in that book that is prescient about the modern landscape. Even the idea that facism is never dead and will come around at any moment and the second you stop preparing against it is when it pops up stronger. The big difference between the book and real life is that they had a huge bullion backing, which has also kind of gone away as a concept. The best line from the MCU is Ultron casually waxing on the concept of finance and and accounting. https://youtu.be/PTbcaC0mGY8 swickles fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Feb 1, 2021 |

I mean, there was a ton of pop culture that railed against Regan and Thatcher and were seeing their rule turn fascistic even then. it took us a while to fully get to that  but we got there in the end

If you believe in Huntington's theory of democratic waves, we are definitely in the ebb of the third wave that began as communist governments began to collapse in the 70s. Basically every democracy outside northern Europe and Canada is backsliding. Also, Myanmar had a coup overnight. It wasn't really a surprise - their democracy was one only in name since the meth heads at the top of their former junta just went behind the scenes. As soon as the democratic government talked about cutting the military out of the action the junta took back power. So, welcome Min Aung Hlaing the world's newest dictator - a man responsible for two ongoing genocides and owner of the country's telecom and banking industries. As an early external supporter of Chairman Xi he could be dictator for a while. https://twitter.com/JusticeMyanmar/status/1355416412337168386 dirty shrimp money fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Feb 1, 2021 |
