You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
A post I just stumbled over on another forum, on a thread allegedly about Pacific Rim:
Here's some gripping moral questions: Freedom or security? What a nuanced and grey conflict! Oh except Captain America supports freedom wholeheartedly (duh) and won't hear the slightest argument for security, so the guys on the other side turn out to be literal Nazis. America, fuck yeah!

It's not just you. I'm loath to get all moratorium up in here (which I wouldn't it's just hard not to think about), but I am tired of how consistently these negative talks spring up, never mind leading to nonsense like passive-aggressive dismissal, plain-faced insults, or the idea that you must simply prove you're the correct one or whatever else. It was over with last night, I'm feeling terrible as is, seriously please stop and try not to add on to the hostility (at anyone really).
Amy Mitchell has a seemingly perfect life – a great marriage, over-achieving kids, beautiful home and a career. However she's over-worked, over-committed and exhausted to the point that she's about to snap. Fed up, she joins forces with two other over-stressed moms on a quest to liberate themselves from conventional responsibilities – going on a wild binge of long-overdue freedom, fun and self-indulgence – putting them on a collision course with PTA Queen Bee Gwendolyn and her clique of devoted perfect moms.
During the 1980s, U.S. Customs Service special agent Robert Mazur uses his undercover alias "Bob Musella" to become a pivotal player for drug lords cleaning their dirty cash. Later, he infiltrates the world's largest cartels and helps discover the money-laundering organization of drug lord Pablo Escobar,[3] and take down Bank of Credit and Commerce International (one of the top ten private banks in the world at the time) which had secretly taken illegal ownership of First American Bankshares in Washington DC.
Oh, and I was browsing B&N's selection of Criterion Collection movies earlier (they're 50% off this month) and couldn't help but notice that Christopher Nolan's Following had a Criterion edition. You know, his very first feature-length movie, shot on a shoestring budget with a bunch of Nolan's friends instead of professional actors.
Gives me hope that people who really care about movies will remember Mr. Nolan's twisty small-budget films long after his blockbusters and Batmovies have disappeared down the memory hole.
Memento seems to be the one from his early filmography that the buff crowd remembered best.
I haven't seen it, but I figure there must be a reason why it's stayed relevant in that realm, right?
(Also I really liked Inception, more so than the Dark Knight trilogy. A blockbuster, yeah, but it was also pretty damn impressive as a film in general. It took me a few times to get it all, but I feel like that rewatch factor works to its advantage and really makes you appreciate the little things. Also also, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Also also also, Ellen Page.)

is it possible to make grown men weep tears of joy, simply by playing "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones?
The answer is yes.
Provided it is preceeded, by 7 plays, of "What's New Pussycat?"
barry allen, the flash, in the tv show "the flash" about the flash that sometimes crosses over with the tv show "arrow" about green arrow, basically looks like john mulaney imho

It's a solid thriller. It screws around with chronology without being too hard to follow for first-time viewers. And said screwery isn't just there to be cool, but to tie in with the plot (the main character is amnesiac) and the themes (what is reality? what is truth for a person who can't can't remember anything for longer than a few minutes?).
So if you ever get the chance to see it, I highly recommend you do.

Crankiness Level: Appointing myself president, and giving almost all the people pardons for all wrongdoing so that nobody can ever complain about anything except me, because all wrongs that did not happen to me are now pardoned.

another one from those firebrands over at STX
still think it's weird that we got a new major movie studio in a day and age like this where most upstart film companies are indies
#money for ya
oh, and I kinda want to play the game too (the 2009 one, not the new shitty one)

I am upset, but I am still willing to try to talk this out.
I'm squaring things over with him in PM now.
I agree though, and briefly thought about this a few months back.
