  1. been watching Dark. it's good so far though I am somewhat concerned at how many little threads it's creating. time travel stories are best when kept tight, to avoid the risk of pulling a Lost.

    Now Reading

    who all enjoys Ligotti? I just picked up Songs of a Dead Dreamer + Grimscribe for my first foray. do.
  3. I haven't enjoyed dese manz since Girls.
  4. a lot of those phrases were included as track names on the first Earth album I ever listened to (Hex), before I knew where they came from. it's a good accompanying piece to reading the book.
  5. magnanimous behaviour from the Brothers 'Chramazov on display here.
  6. p sure it's intentional. if you think that sounds rough, try listening to some of his Council Estate Electronics output. it'll reset your expectations. Land Lord for me, so far.
  7. there's no How Does the World View Australia thread (and nobody'd read it anyway) so this goes here. beyond the surface-level considerations of the trial itself, this case has held up a mirror to this nation's collective consciousness. personally, I cannot comprehend how people don't know, on a deep instinctual level from life experience etc, that this sort of business doesn't happen in every war ever, regardless of who's involved. but we love to delude ourselves.
  8. yeah, pretty annoying. no reason to do it when the 10am opening had been signposted well in advance. there is a posse forming around the Sydney show. maybe we should organise dinner/drinks before/after.
  9. RIP. for all the antics on the forum/chats, people are still people outside of the bubble.
  10. Smile. wasn't as dumb as I thought it'd be but still pretty dumb. the multiple fakeouts and jump scares got old quickly. it's well-executed and with a solid lead performance at least, so maybe still worth one watch. edit: some goofy CG though, I lol'd hard when
  11. pretty good. damn shame what happened to the director, hope he recovers fully.
  12. damn. this is straight up porn. *favourites*
  13. Aftersun. I loved it. I'm going to go stare at a wall or something, I've had too many feels lately.
  14. I suspect these two movies appeal to exactly the same type of people. in fact, Benigni's character is just an older male version of the same manic pissflaps dream girl from Amelie.
  15. I finally saw the highly-lauded Life is Beautiful, after years of hearing from people what a wonderful movie it is. what a fucking crock of shit, it was a complete farce. like a Holocaust remix of the worst things about Amelie (yes I know it came first). Benigni, both in character and his irl self, seems like the kind of person you couldn't be 5 minutes around without wanting to strangle violently.
