The biggest problem with DFW is that he's the poster boy for the "I can roll my eyes harder than you" method of literary ctiticism. I've never read an internet argument about his work that got above the level of a string of people saying "GUH! c'mon you guys he suuuucks." At this point you all might as well be arguing about marvel movies or star wars.

There are people who sit through entire movies instead of just reading the plot summary on wikipediea? What the actual gently caress?!? Everyone knows the only thing worth investing your time in is reading the forums and charting how its membership dwindles down to a tiny group of twitchy old people with victorian levels of obsession over manners and sexual morality.

insane clown pussy posted:it's pretty cool that joyless evangelical psychos have latched onto trauma discourse Getting increasingly upset about sex in movies is almost universal in the US.

Her name is harlequin so she dressed as a jester. And it was y’know, a costume. And It had that cool alternating red/black thing. Punk manic pixie dream girl tests as more fuckable than lady jester, I guess.

indigi posted:the fact that Loki who tried to genocide not only Earth but Asgard as well is just fully presented as a good guy now is kinda insane. like they had a few lines of dialogue reference it in the Loki show but then everyone just moved on, like he didn’t kill tens of thousands of humans, several gods, and willingly give Thanos the first piece of the weapon he would use to kill half of everyone Wandavision did a version of this too. The message seems to be that what you did is unimportant so long as you feel bad. Not even bad about what you did - just bad about something.

Spaceballs. It's almost unwatchable if you're an adult but everyone I know who saw it when they were 12 can quote half the movie.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:i watched a few episodes of Scavenger's Reign and it was pretty cool but would be 1000x better with no dialogue. I've developed a real hatred for scripts that sound like they were written to narrate the action to people listening in while reading something else on another screen. Scavenger's didn't trigger that, so I rate its dialog content as "fine."

While in real life that's why a NASA shuttle blew up! Spoilers! It's a pretty good show though! That was the Mars Climate Orbiter that crashed due to mismatched units. The destroyed space shuttles were from launching during cold weather and from ignoring an ice strike on the leading edge of the orbiter's wing during launch.

Also, I liked Poor Things' production design.
