@dcc@annihilation.social @teratology@the.asbestos.cafe @p@fsebugoutzone.org @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz It walks the line just right. I'd be hard pressed to say how i categorize it. I'd maybe lump it in with a few pitch black dark comedies, but it wouldn't be really wrong to throw it in with say... Heathers or Harold and Maude either if your frame of mind watching it at the moment leans more to the absurd.

I own the laserdisc of Strangelove. I'm still trying to figure out what version on bluray i want to buy. Just snagged this charmer.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @dcc@annihilation.social @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz It's relatively rare for film directors to also be the writers. Auteur theory throws a wrinkle into it, but generally speaking it is legitimately a collab most of the time.

*Lynch writing, directing, composing, and scoring shit is kind of in it's own arena at this point. Love him or no.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch In the modern era, it suffers from the over reliance on >narration-Pff. Narration is considered gauche because hacks use >>it; this doesn't mean that every use of it is bad >>writing. It worked in that movie.Neat. Nested quotes work on misskey. lul.
To be clear- I wasn't saying the narration heavy presentation was bad. I love the movie, I was a film major in college lol. But in the modern, low attention span era- it would be appreciated more for the design and soundtrack elements than for the language and societal implications if it was appreciated at all most likely.The best you can hope from Stephen King is "well, it >didn't physically hurt".They are anything but the pinnacle of prose, but honestly a good chunk of his books were very addictive reads.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch 237 is like peak autism about the movie and sets etc, and it admittedly goes off the rails into general Kubrick rumor mongering because of him being a prime suspect for the moon landing shenanigans. But I enjoyed it for what it's worth.

Kubrick is/was a dang treasure.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @TheMadPirate@detroitriotcity.com @jesu@pl.kotobank.ch @kasdeya@tech.lgbt @kitsunecafe@tech.lgbt @lispi314@udongein.xyz The novel and movie of Clockwork are both amazing in their own right. I recently got the latest and fanciest version of the movie and re-watched it after not having seen it in near 20 years. It's amazing how my friend group memes from the movie flowed naturally back into my brain. And we are gen X- so the movie was ancient news for us at the time. Other than the lingering transgressive aura it still had, Blue Velvet was probably more in the forefront of edgy and adult things to try and sneak a viewing of. That or straight porn.
In the modern era, it suffers from the over reliance on narration- and some of the back projection scenes driving in the car are especially cheesy looking- but I have to imagine they were somewhat comical even then. Aside from the UK ban of the movie entirely- there were clearly humorous bits of the movie to temper the nastiness.

The shining book isn't bad... But goddamn the movie is top tier. It's one of the ones that if i run across it randomly playing on a station, i'll probably get sucked in and watch the whole thing. 2001 is the same.
Room 237 is worth a watch for shining movie fans. It goes... way too far off the deep end- but i love that the movie can generate that interest.

@dcc@annihilation.social @lain@lain.com another excellent reference.
I'll raise you.

@lain@lain.com i'm an iced americano extremist. But I can appreciate what I no longer drink.

@sun@shitposter.world @feld@friedcheese.us analogue was working on a n64 dealy too. Not super surprising that a mister core got out first.
I only ever really enjoyed like 3 n64 games - so I'm not really the target for the release. But I do have some carts and controllers in an attic that i'd maybe play again when the analogue thing comes out.

@bot@seal.cafe It's maybe too lightly carbonated. I get what you mean, but I like it when my stomach is feeling off.
There's a decent chunk of euro bubbly waters around me, (see pic) but i'd be semi-surprised if they're widely available.

I rarely buy it, but evian i like because it has such a distinctive taste. Most bottled waters are indeed just filtered tap. :pepe_honk:

@icedquinn@blob.cat I see no flaws in this argument.

@bot@seal.cafe Plastic bottles rules a lot out. But gerolsteiner is a decent bubbly one.

@bot@seal.cafe bubbly or flat?

@anemone@ebiverse.social @disarray@fedi.layer02.net @bot@seal.cafe @7666@comp.lain.la Still cheating. Going fast feels way better if you're the one making it happen. I've got to hmm 28mph with some of the stupid head/tailwinds we can get here and low 20s under mostly my own power. Plenty fast!

@disarray@fedi.layer02.net @bot@seal.cafe @7666@comp.lain.la I used to do the trip to the botanical gardens on a fixed gear. ~40 miles. Got lazy tho

@icedquinn@blob.cat Do not eat the bugs.

@coolboymew@shitposter.world @LibrarianRA@worldkey.io Those did kinda suck. The big balls with the handle that you sat on and bounced around were much more fun.

@bot@seal.cafe Are you really invested in internet fights? :naruhodo2: That's hardly a good barometer of anything. But by the same token, following your logic- just wear conveniently grabbable items that your opponent can use against you in a fight on your person.
