Buddy Guy (A guy who says buddy)

@soonrightaway Ok

just saw someone’s “favorite works of art” grid post that was like 90% classic works of literature and then Disco Elysium thrown in there

@LilRichardNixon @waynesfury @strawhatellie Some scores are composed to fit the emotional cadence of their films. Trent + Atticus composed around the sweat.

@waynesfury @strawhatellie The Sweat should've gotten fourth billing given how many scenes they dedicated to it

12 angry men inspired me to make a new list on letterboxd

@waynesfury Doesn’t get much damper than Challengers

@CantEverDie Imagining an obsession-style PR disclaimer: ‘Sources say Nolan’s controversial ‘puppy chucking’ scene was significantly cut down from the initial focus test’ “Nearly 4 and half minutes we had Johnny Legs tossing puppies in the OG cut. The one he spares was last in the basket.”

i think someone in my theater started crying at this scene

@PMadustos @GenePark If you actually thought you could articulate *why* he is wrong you would have done so.

@GenePark Because you’re wrong on this issue and crying like a baby. It’s annoying.

i kinda feel bad for dunking on you so hard yesterday so im sorry. but here’s the issue: i don’t understand why some of you antagonize those who want to keep physical media. there’s no benefit to you doing so other than you’re annoyed by it and wanna get it off your chest.

@disparutoo @PaulTassi ^*Pretending not to understand how movies work to help my gentle bigot comedy land*

I did like how it made Antinous more of a villain because hes throwing the body of a woman onto the battlefield to save himself. It also excellently mirrored Odysseus’s own journey, that he was willing to sacrifice a potential wife and mother outside of troy, in order to return home to his.

Don’t care how much I get yelled at on this dumbass site, Elliot Page was genuinely great in his Odyssey scenes

@YYZ2YGK @PaulTassi Elliot seems happy with himself and you seem mad. 🤷‍♂️

@PaulTassi “His” lol The only Greek tragedy Ellen played in is her own life of mental illness.

@Lord_RFirgens @PaulTassi Imagine talking like this. Powerful loser behaviour.

I still can’t believe how many dumbasses play make believe with grown ass adults. Mostly liberal too. It’s 2026 now. Can’t get cancelled for speaking common sense like 2 genders and 100s of mental disorders. She’s a chick and always will be a chick. She made herself unattractive as hell but it’s still a girl. She can’t sprout a cock and become a man. None of them can. You playing along with them is only worsening their fragile mental state further feeding into their delusion.

@PaulTassi Elliot Page was good but Shade Elliot Page was fantastic.

@WhiteboyDexter I think these are bad and that the guy was right.

how does it feel to be wrong

@Potato_Island9 @gothburz First one? Excuse me?

@gothburz I cant tell if you became a bootlicker or if this is your first one thats meant to be more sarcastic/ironic

I am the customer Nintendo went into a federal court and described to a judge as not entitled to a single dollar. I bought the Switch 2 at $499.99, which was the tariff price, and when the company's lawyers told the court the buyers are owed nothing, I am one of the buyers they meant. I want to be the first to say they are right. I got exactly what I bargained and paid for. Those are their words. I have made them mine. People are angry, and I do not think they understand how a purchase works. When the console was announced it was $449.99. Then the tariffs came, and Nintendo said the price had to go to $499.99, and I understood. A tariff is a cost, and costs get passed to me. That is a supply chain doing its job. I stood in a line at 11 p.m. and I paid the extra $50 the way you salute a flag, because that $50 was not going to Nintendo, it was going to the country. I felt like a patriot holding a shopping bag. My brother-in-law waited for a price drop. I told him the price does not drop, the price is the price. He is still waiting. I am playing. Then a court ruled the tariffs were illegal. And the money started coming back. It came back to Nintendo. It came back to Sony and to Microsoft. The number I read was $81 billion in tariffs refunded to companies, and somewhere in that number is my $50, except it is not mine anymore. It went home to Redmond, Washington, and I could not be happier for them. Here is the part the angry people cannot hold in their heads. The tariff I paid was real. The refund Nintendo got was also real. Both are true, and only one of them has my name on it, and it is not the refund. I paid a tax that no longer exists, on a console I already own, and Nintendo collected that same tax back from the government, and the console still works, and I got exactly what I bargained and paid for. Sit with the elegance of it. Nintendo paid the tariff. Nintendo charged me the tariff. The government gave Nintendo the tariff back. That is one tariff doing the work of three, and at no point in that beautiful circle am I owed a cent, because I clicked confirm. A deal is a deal. Mine included a tax that expired and a price that did not. Some man in Washington filed a class action. He wants the $50 back, for all of us. I read the complaint. I found it embarrassing. He keeps saying it is unfair, which is the word you reach for when you did not read the terms. Nintendo's lawyers said I am not entitled to a rebate simply because of intervening legal developments, and I read that sentence three times and agreed with it harder each time. Intervening legal developments. That is not my business. My business was $499.99 and a console, and the console is under my television right now doing everything I was promised. I am whole. I am so whole I could scream. I have started correcting people online. When a guy posts his receipt and asks where his refund is, I tell him the truth: you got the console. Did it arrive? Did it turn on? Then you have no claim. That is what a price is. It is the number you agreed to, forever, no matter what happens to the number afterward. I did not buy a stake in the tariff. I bought a machine. Nintendo bought the tariff, and the tariff appreciated, and that is called investing, and I am not an investor. I am a fan. My wife asked if I felt cheated. I told her I feel loyal. There is a difference, and the difference is worth exactly $50. When you love a company you do not audit it. You do not go through its pockets looking for your own money. You pre-order the next thing. Which I did. There is a new color coming and I have already paid for it, and if a tariff shows up on that one too I will pay it twice, once going out and once coming back, because that is the relationship. I put in. They keep. That is a marriage, and you do not ask a marriage for a refund. And it is not only Nintendo, which is the part that makes me proud to be an American consumer. Sony did it. Microsoft did it. Every company that ever added a line to your receipt for a cost that later vanished kept the vanishing for itself and left you the line. Your car. Your groceries. The fee on the fee on your checking account. You paid the surcharge for a war that ended, and the peace dividend went to the shareholder. You got exactly what you bargained and paid for. I need you to say it with me. It is the only prayer that keeps the console warm. So no, I do not want my $50. I want you to understand that I never had it. It was Nintendo's $50 the whole time, briefly parked in my checking account on its way home. I got exactly what I bargained and paid for. The price just happened to include a part I would never get back, and I would pay it again tomorrow. The new color ships in September. I am first in line. A deal is a deal.

@N7aClGamer And they were right to…

They crucified oomf for this lmao

@ndluss @SamGreszes @CantEverDie Jesus chill out, random internet guy.

@SamGreszes @CantEverDie So you understand like what is the issue then?

i feel like i’m being gaslit because everyone is praising this right now but a year ago everyone absolutely hated this and all of his other non planet of the bass songs

@CantEverDie This one sucks for two reasons: -a solid impression but very light on actual jokes -has less love for the material it’s mocking

@jonnieonion1 @OptimoPrincipi Why?

@OptimoPrincipi Slightly rich of Emily to complain about another person's interpretation of the Odyssey!

Emily Wilson after watching the Odyssey: ‘The film presents an Odysseus who feels very bad about things that he's done in war, and is struggling to process them in a very modern, psychiatrised way – and needs drugs to do so! He seems to feel bad about being a warrior, and we never actually see him get to do much warrioring ... Nolan makes the protagonist a likeable, all-American hero; Homer's Odysseus wants glory, and he wants to get spoils from the sack of a city! I kept looking in vain for a sense that this was a film about glory. This is a film that has an interest in shame, but I don't think it has any interest in glory.’

@blown_through And what of the bitter?

The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

@BoyCarat17 @yonceremover I dont think the invite is getting any acting noms though. Maybe screenplay?

@yonceremover Yeah~ I don't think The Drama is going anywhere near the Oscars anymore, considering A24 has The Invite, Debut, Club Kid, Primetime, etc. (basically fall festival-premiered films has more likely chances *Venice, Telluride, TIFF)

getting a little bit ahead of myself

@yonceremover @taypookiee Well that’s not happening (great performance tho).

@taypookiee the drama obviously

@theemarbleindex @yonceremover Of course they are. What a silly opinion.

@yonceremover zendaya and inde are not legitimate actors oomf

@McCarthyist2 Thought it looked great. We just saw a one eyed giant eat people and throw boulders. Didn’t need need the same again, The effect with the trees was great too. Understated but still really disorienting.

Im surprised more people aren’t talking about just how atrocious this scene is in the Odyssey. Nolan took a part of the story about savage giants who throw boulders at and eat Odysseus’s crew and changed them to be weird 12ft tall medieval knights or something.
