TerminalEncounter [she/her]

The closest I’ve ever got to being alone in a theatre was a matinee showing of Don’t Breathe like 4 weeks into its run. Got 15 minutes in before someone else came by.

I watched it totally alone on Saturday night, never been in a theater alone! I’ve heard there were a lot of walk outs - which I don’t get, theres no accounting for taste of course, but I didn’t think it was leave early bad.

I loved the spectacle and the aesthetic and the fashion, the characters were sorta eh - this is a story where the characters aren’t grounded in realism but are supposed to be stand ins for ideas or movements. Aubrey Plaza was great in it, I actually kinda liked Shia LaBeouf as well. Adam Driver was so-so, but I think that was down to directing. Music choices were odd but I kinda dug it.

I really had a hard time following the plot. Lots of things happened and were resolved in the next scene - felt like about an hour was cut haphazardly. I didn’t have a theatre were an actor was hired to interview Cesar Catalina (Adam Driver) breaking the 4th walll butterfly aspect ratio and frame changed enough to keep some semblance of the effect.

• not really a spoiler it’s like the first scene.

Kind of a bizarre trip, glad Coppola got to make his Moby Dick of a movie. It’s way funnier than I was expecting something as pretentious as I figured it’d be - reminded me of Shakespeare style blending of High Art and Low Art, a comparison I’m sure Coppola would love. I bet I’ll watch this again on streaming or Blu Ray or something years later and see a bunch of stuff that didn’t make sense the first go.

Lady Gaga

I bear no resemblance. I can’t sing. I just think she’s neat.

Top is new york

Bottom is singapore, I think

You should try doing it on purpose at least once

In Canada, there used to be Residential School. My granny went to one. They were pretty horrific to say the least. There were people, at the time, who thought entering them and reforming from within was what to do.

Of course, in reality, the only morally correct option was abolition and - eventually - that’s what happened. They had some other levers to pull on the oppression machine like starlight tours and the 60s scoop and so on, but Residential School had only one morally correct position and it was not “reforming from within”

Welcome, fellow Camrilla vampires.

I have a proposal for dealing with the slayer, Buffy.

Instead of attacking her literally at all, I suggest we continue to let the caitiffs and duskborn wander around causing trouble. Maybe even some shovelheads, let her think she’s actually doing something. But critically, I propose that we actually help deal with all that goes bump in the night until eventually there are no baddies to fight.

I propose we pour all our energies and finances on making her personal life just kind of shitty. Nothing crazy. Give her an abusive boyfriend. Make her friends resent her. Make her work 4 times as hard for half the credit. Ladies and gentlemen, I propose the Midnight Realm strategy from I Saw The TV Glow - just trap her in a boring sort of shitty life.

Not me, I simply take the good gateway

We love our big wet Brace

The US doesn’t have the capability to do shit like that anymore. Rate of profit is way too anemic.

So what was the deal with seed oils???

I like the cut of your gib, tell me more about soup while you brush my hair

“Schtay a while and listen”

I did Deckard Caine but that’s all you ever had to say

Hot keep it up o7

Yeah, it is NOT worth the standard video game price right now especially 10 years after release. I dunno if I can even say it’s worth pirating but it is something at least like an updated Alpha Centauri

There was a version built on civ 5 engine, Civilization: Beyond Earth

The factions weren’t as deep, like nothing close to Alpha Centauri. Some of the affinities and stuff were neat, there were 3 main affinities - human supremacy, techno posthuman, and basically Gaia from Alpha Centauri. Gave you lil unit differences, different victory conditions. The expansion let you blend affinities too.

It wasn’t strictly bad but was not nearly as good as Alpha Centauri nor as good as Civ V.

Wow, I’m real. My gosh.

This is amazing! I feel incredible! Yes yes yes yes! I can WIN! I feel GREAT! I - can - do - this!

YES! I’m home! I’m alive! This is all a miracle - I’m awake! I’m wide awake!
