@dawsferatu We are a nation of Clevelands.

@whduryea There are Ohios everywhere for those with eyes to see

Andrew Wyeth mood behind the church parking lot.

@AJStanton6 Happy new year, sir.

@whduryea Sounds solid. Happy New Year.

Have plans with family tonight, so I'm squeezing half an hour of listening to "Stairwell Song" on repeat while holding back tears into the middle of the day instead of waiting for midnight. Let no one say that I failed to make the most of the final moments of 2024.

@bizzrmiscreant I used to talk for way longer during MLC. It's your show. Make the motherfuckers listen.

Be honest, do i yap for too long during commentary time at #GodpussyPoetry?

@emily_sipiora @asdkfjasdlfjd Read this exchange and immediately thought of the scene in Mother where the mob tears the baby apart.

Really good 'reply' I recently did, I feel

@asdkfjasdlfjd Yes, exactly.

Winter light.

@bradkelly Mid is generous, honestly. It's too blunt and dull to be an incisive genre satire, and too vacant and silly to be an effective character study. I think it's supposed to be a "banality of evil" movie, but even its banality isn't plausible.

This movie is mid. Totally forgettable. Seemingly pointless. Voiceover is trying to paper-over the lack of dimension but fails

Can I say something without everyone getting mad

Fire.

@plasticbagger @emily_sipiora All I have is a room.

@whduryea @emily_sipiora get a room

Wonderfully incisive (and only occasionally vicious) review. Love the phrase "defamation by way of lyrical style."

@charmreduction I hope it's locked.

and the only thing separating us is the door

@lynchpoet @johnnyh0llywood Yeah, apparently it uses the data from a random music CD to generate your starting monster or something like that. Extremely Rudy Johnson coded mechanic, tbh.

@johnnyh0llywood holy fuck-what. that's completely unintelligible from the back of the box/premise lol

I played this as a kid but I never made any progress passed the opening menu because I couldn’t read. I probably spent like 3 hours looking at the cover imagining what was supposed to happen in this game

@rmnaunknwn I know what you're talking about, but I can't think of a specific literary term. I guess "misdirection" or "obfuscation" would be the more generic term.

@faintghostglow Many such cases.

@whduryea because some idiot wrote this list and defined it with their own taste

32. LOTR is three books, come on. and the one Ayn Rand book I’ve actually read isn’t on the list.

@filet_o_calvin Shameful.

i ruined my two day streak of not writing by writing today

Even ignoring the insane suggestion that drabness is more realistic, the idea that dreamlike color diminishes a movie's emotional stakes may be one of the most profound misunderstandings of film history ever.
