I mean yeah fuck the way the world going. On the other hand Guns Akimbo is so worth a watch as well as Swiss Army Man. They’re both such fever dreams and I very much appreciate Radcliffe going from that terf’s garbage to doing what I would call (hesitantly) real art.
I am delighted that when I think of Radcliffe, these are the first things that come to mind. Harry Potter is second.
Emma Watson is still Hermione, but Radcliffe, that crazy twat…
Yeah, Radcliffe is in the uniquely special circumstance, where he has more money than God but he also wants to keep making movies. The result is that he only does the movies that he wants to do. He doesn’t attach himself to movies just for clout or money, because he doesn’t need either of those.
hesitantly
‘Swiss army man’ is absolutely real art. It’s just weird and hard to watch and includes dirty jokes. Don’t be a dick. Haven’t seen the other.
It pisses me off so bad that JK Rowling had to be a fucking transphobic racist piece of shit. This is me off to an extreme extent because she is a fucking genius author when it comes to one thing. She chose one generation and then wrote a story specifically for that generation, having the writing style get older with the generation. And then she wasted it by being a horrible, bigoted piece of shit and filling the story with the same type of garbage. Like credit where credit is due. That one thing that she did is fucking genius. But she had to ruin it by being herself. Goddammit.
For the record, I’m not saying she’s the only one to have done this or anything, but doing that and capturing that type of magic for a child will easily become an important part of that person’s life. She could have told so many amazing stories and morals to help people be a better person as they grew up and she didn’t. Fucking colonoscopy of a human.
Eh, she spoke to a bunch of people hungry for mid fantasy. She’s not very good at it, just lucked out on timing.
Get some Pratchett in ya, now THERE is a writer who put good into the world
Her editor was very good. As the books went on and JK got veto power over her editor, the books got worse and more problematic.
If it makes you feel any better there tons of video essays tearing the series apart. It’s not particularly genius, very little if any of what she did was original and from the very beginning it was chocked full of racism, antisemitism, fatphobia and ablelism.
Also that’s an insult to colonoscopies, as they’re important and save lives.
I’m not saying the books are genius, I’m saying the move to write the books for a specific generation is genius. Like most books in a series will be written all in the same style. The HP books were written to ‘grow up’ along with the people who were reading them. That idea and tactic was genius. Literally nothing else.
Man, I feel exactly the same about loving wrap dresses. Bitch who popularized them was nearly as bad as Rowling.
Swiss Army Man is so good. Not as funny or action packed as Akimbo but so many feelings
Hey. My Mom voted for Trump to accelerate the Second Coming of Jesus.

Unfortunately, Jesus is now in an ICE detention center awaiting deportation to El Salvador.
And so when Jesus makes his way back to El Norte, my Mom goes to heaven.
What a silly religion.
Only the apocalypse is important. After that we can hand him over to the Zionists for their rape and torture prison.
Didn’t they just try that Rapture thing and it failed?
Just means they hadn’t ruined the world enough. They’ll try again.
I may be an optimist in some ways, but I honestly expect civilization will persist through “all this”. Though of course, that isn’t really much comfort considering that doesn’t mean that it won’t absolutely suck for the people within it all.
Civilization is doing pretty well outside the US. If the US disappeared tomorrow, the rest of the world would do significantly better. I don’t know how the world will deal with climate change, but without the US it would be easier to make progress. The tech firms blowing up the AI bubble, and invading our privacy are nearly all American. A lot of the private equity firms destroying the world are also American. If the US could hurry up and finish collapsing, the rest of the world’s civilization could just move on.
Depends on how you define civilization.
And how you define “all this”
Hey, the NCR came after the Great War, right?
Although I hope that’s not the bar we’re shooting for.
I’d put down a bet that Iceland is gonna be okay.
That makes them suspicious if you ask me.
The great thing now is that we are currently ending the world, so there won’t be anywhere for that civilization to be.
Dont say space.²
If you want a future, kill your masters.
If you want to kill yourself and everyone else, get yourself some weed and eggs Benedict, and just keep doing what you’re doing¹.
¹assuming you’re not spectacularly cool. If you’re spectacularly cool a change in behavior may be required.
²Nobody who says that has ever allowed a serious expert into the same room as them. It may not be theoretically possible, we certainly aren’t within a century of unsupported space settlement. We haven’t even sent a person out of orbit yet.
Agree with your sentiment internet friend, but might want to drop that last sentence. We, uh, did go to the moon, right? Right?
Moon orbits what? Doesn’t count as leaving. Might be technically out, but kind of only supports my point.
Also I don’t think we still have capacity to do that as a species, but am not sure where the Chinese space program is focused on so can’t say for sure.
Ok then we have different definitions of “orbit” and “leaving.”
I’m saying it might technically be outside earth’s orbit, but it is orbiting earth pretty close. So maybe technically but having to reach for a ‘technically’ supports my point.
And also I dont think we could get a person to the moon and back right now.
Probably could not get a person to the moon and back, alive. Agree.
I am sorry to have laughed
You are more than an employee
I’m job shopping and the effort feels futile. I am fortunate to have one already, although it is quite stressful and the pay is low enough that I must work a part time job as well. I worry about those who depend on medicaid to stay alive and will have the added stress of finding 80 hours of work per month in a depressed market come January.
Come wash dishes w me bro
Surely there are jobs that pay better… r-r-right?
might as well start your own business.
