well, you see, the actors are also extremely well known to us, like for example the main dude was on Game of Thrones, where, famously, nobody hosed

Meanwhile my takeaway was "Wow, they actually cared and were able to mobilise their resources in order to stop a disaster and find the ones responsible, the Soviet Union owned, this would never happen in capitalism".

chernobyl leans really hard on the bad commie administrators not listening to science despite it being an outright plot point that it shouldnt even be physically possible for a nuclear reactor to explode and the main reason the good scientists have trouble making headway with the bad commie administrators is because they cant actually come up with a scientific explanation for how the nuclear reactor exploded

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
I'm reading Permanent Midnight by J. Stahl. It's a heroin memoir by a comedy writer of ALF fame, I'm 1/3 - 1/2 done and it's both dark as hell and incredibly funny, at least if you're more than peripherally aware of the realities of the heroin lifestyle.

It was, apparently, made into a Ben Stiller movie in the 90s. That does not look promising, but, if you've seen it, feel free to try to change my mind, it won't take much to make me attempt the movie once I finish the book, what's another 90 mins for a 6/10 IMDB rating ;)

e: I credited the author as J. Stahl because I've been smoking weed while I read this and actually can't remember if it's Jeremy or Jeffrey :lol:

I have seen that movie and all I remember is the scene where he shots heroin in a public bathroom and then sprays blood from the syringe all over the ceiling.

It also implies that these noble families are only barely connected to the planets they rule. The Atreides family is coded as Spanish, but their planet is coded as Scottish. They are foreign rulers even on the place they call their homeworld.

He seems fine, Feyd is basically the face of the Harkonnens so hes gotta be a slimy villain while also being more charismatic; he's also kind of a moron. That said his character is probably gonna be different since they toned back the sex for the Harkonnens

E: hes also not like a super big character in terms of appearance, with stuff that's in the second movie he just briefly fails to assassinate the Baron for no good reason and then fights Paul at the end iirc

Wikipedia entry on Barstool Sports posted:

The site has received repeated criticism over content posted on Barstool Sports that critics of the site allege normalizes rape culture. Comments that have sparked debate include a post on a 2010 blog where Portnoy said "[E]ven though I never condone rape if you're a size 6 and you're wearing skinny jeans you kind of deserve to be raped right?"[61] Other elements that have received criticism include comments such as "we don't condone rape of any kind at our Blackout Parties ... however if a chick passes out that's a gray area".[62] Portnoy, in response, has stated that, "...It's not our intent, with jokes, to poke fun at rape victims," while pointing out the satirical nature of the site's content.[63]

Hid to listen to a kelly clarkson interview

- when I watch superhero movies (Cruella) I relate to villains
They start off evil but then the back story.
"I'm different"
and then I really relate to them because I grew up different too.



So I guess: Super heroes a generic boring people
All the Rich and famous people relate to the villains.

i love that cruella deville wants to kill and skin dalmatian puppies and that's justified by her backstory being that her mom was dropkicked off a cliff by dalmatians.

however they didn't even have the balls to keep her original motives intact and it's basically just a different character that has the name "cruella" so the whole thing was just an exercise in milking an IP for cash

It just filled in a lot of holes in my understanding.

Like: Ohhh everybody had a very binary understanding of good or bad.

Never thought I would see kids bop version of "i wanna be your" by the stooges in a disney movie- but there it was.
