Yeah, 21 is pretty early...I know I've complained about not having a girlfriend sooner before, but I know I would have blown it at 21 because I did blow it at 21. We dated for like 6 months!
It's our lovers. A tradeoff is coming. You won't get it right.
Most ironic post series goes to...
I wish your cousin the best of luck. He's actually younger than I am, so I find the proposition a little dubious, but if it works out, all the more power to him.
The Dark Knight Rises is a movie that works really well superficially and on a moment-to-moment level but both conceptually and in execution falls entirely flat.

And it's so compellingly directed that I almost want its classist posturing to be right, and that's... kinda scary honestly.
I'd say it's way less ideologically focused than you're implying. Bane is a social Darwinist from the outset, and his whole anarchist schtick is from the outset pretty clearly about something less noble than the redistribution of wealth. The classist stuff feels less like intended subtext than Nolan's own biases seeping into how he frames what I think he intended to be an entirely different point. But then, it gets so muddy and weird philosophically by the end that it's hard to say what it's really about.
It's a fun watch, though, and Bane and Catwoman are both magnificent.
I totally agree that there's absolutely no thematic through-line, but there is an obvious feeling of classism pervading the movie. It all feels very much unintentional, but the images of the protesters going apeshit on those poor rich people carries a deeply troubling message regardless of intent.
I kind of get frustrated when people bring up all these internet critics that I've either never heard of or have only a vague idea about and expect me to understand their review of X as a frame of reference.

you've been posting random song fragments at a pretty consistent clip for like four hours straight.
I'm binging one particular musician and I just felt like seeing how long I could keep up posting song fragments as I went.
well
i know what webcomic i'm not going to start reading anytime soon
it updated about a month ago
chord regression
That's right
I went there
Then it didn't update for six months and I lost interest, and now I learn that the guy who writes it is an ass. That's not shocking, but eh.
Honesty of intent and all that.
