Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

I don't get this whole SMG is trolling theory. He's always posted that way, I just figured he was a film student that genuinely enjoys applying deep meaning to everything and debating said points with people/sticking with his reading. v :confused: v

Oh, and as recently as last month people were getting upset at his reading of Pacific Rim in the sequel thread so it's not just here.

I fell in love with a Video Nasty

Ghostlight posted:

I attended a festival showing of Late Bloomer, a Japanese movie about a serial killer with cerebral palsy, and afterward it had a q&a with the writer/director. He was amazing because I feel like his entire art was devoted not to making a film, but to trolling the film students at festivals. All of his answers were essentially just "because I felt like it", but the best was when one person stood up and asked a very lengthy question around the meaning behind the film being in black-and-white except for the final scene of the neighbourhood discovering his crimes, and the response was "I filmed in black and white because it was the best way to show off the lead's muscled body, and the final scene is in colour because the sun rise looked bad in black and white." There was a palpable silence as everyone just took that in and then there were no more questions.

Ha! Makes me think of Dave McKean's massive graphic novel "Cages". There's a character that's a frustrated art critic for reasons too complicated to get into here. But anyways, he has a dream or out of body experience, or whatever, where he goes up to art heaven. He asks the Powers That Be to let him know what the artists really meant when they did their pieces, and it ends up all being stuff like "I painted a cat in the bathtub because I like cats and tubs are easy, and I needed to pay rent." and it ruins everything for him.

It always made me think a bunch of goons were secretly boiling their own piss to try and create home made pheromones.

probably not but tbf VQL has had their account for 25 days and has already been on probation for 7 1/2 of them which is kinda epic in its own way. Your basic goon shitposter isn't too smart, but you can ban their account and they're still 86 percent effective. Here's a tip: Aim for the nerve stem, and put them down for good.
