@crunklord420@clubcyberia.co @Forestofenchantment@clubcyberia.co i didn't even know there was such a thing.

@Turkleton@poa.st Gas stove chads rejoice.

@splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network 🍸what's your drink for the evening?

@noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world @Owl@nicecrew.digital @PurpCat@clubcyberia.co @lonestarr@mugicha.club I get to play and review games?! What's not to like? KEK
Before Giant bomb exploded- the original crew painted a pretty bleak picture of what the job actually was like.

:catbed: time

@icedquinn@blob.cat I would say there is an ongoing capture campaign against those types of games, but honestly grognards have already lost.
If you have access to insulated forums- that's probably your best chance. Otherwise- it's the struggle of starting something up. big time :sadge:

@mrsaturday@shitposter.world @icedquinn@blob.cat I'm firmly Gen X, i don't know which end of that spectrum the plague that is infesting the industry falls under now, but it's pretty clearly crossed over generational lines at this point.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch I'm not that invested in it either way, but your scenario seems like an awfully expensive joke rather than an earnest fail.

@dcc@annihilation.social @teratology@the.asbestos.cafe @p@fsebugoutzone.org @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz It walks the line just right. I'd be hard pressed to say how i categorize it. I'd maybe lump it in with a few pitch black dark comedies, but it wouldn't be really wrong to throw it in with say... Heathers or Harold and Maude either if your frame of mind watching it at the moment leans more to the absurd.

I own the laserdisc of Strangelove. I'm still trying to figure out what version on bluray i want to buy. Just snagged this charmer.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @dcc@annihilation.social @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz It's relatively rare for film directors to also be the writers. Auteur theory throws a wrinkle into it, but generally speaking it is legitimately a collab most of the time.

*Lynch writing, directing, composing, and scoring shit is kind of in it's own arena at this point. Love him or no.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch 237 is like peak autism about the movie and sets etc, and it admittedly goes off the rails into general Kubrick rumor mongering because of him being a prime suspect for the moon landing shenanigans. But I enjoyed it for what it's worth.

Kubrick is/was a dang treasure.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz The novel and movie of Clockwork are both amazing in their own right. I recently got the latest and fanciest version of the movie and re-watched it after not having seen it in near 20 years. It's amazing how my friend group memes from the movie flowed naturally back into my brain. And we are gen X- so the movie was ancient news for us at the time. Other than the lingering transgressive aura it still had, Blue Velvet was probably more in the forefront of edgy and adult things to try and sneak a viewing of. That or straight porn.
In the modern era, it suffers from the over reliance on narration- and some of the back projection scenes driving in the car are especially cheesy looking- but I have to imagine they were somewhat comical even then. Aside from the UK ban of the movie entirely- there were clearly humorous bits of the movie to temper the nastiness.

The shining book isn't bad... But goddamn the movie is top tier. It's one of the ones that if i run across it randomly playing on a station, i'll probably get sucked in and watch the whole thing. 2001 is the same.
Room 237 is worth a watch for shining movie fans. It goes... way too far off the deep end- but i love that the movie can generate that interest.

@dcc@annihilation.social @lain@lain.com another excellent reference.
I'll raise you.

@lain@lain.com i'm an iced americano extremist. But I can appreciate what I no longer drink.

@icedquinn@blob.cat Do not eat the bugs.

I love that this mvc2 tourney for the new release is so sweaty. Kind of hilarious that Magneto is too fast for whatever rollback netcode they're using tho. 3 frame ambiguous attacks no bueno.

@coolboymew@shitposter.world @mrsaturday@shitposter.world @SPCmovienight@shitposter.world makes sense. Always preferred the green guy.
