Both Hackers and Mortal Kombat feature Orbital's "Halcyon And On And On" so therefore they are perfect movies.

But yeah 1995 was cooking. Strange Days and The Doom Generation are also incredible time capsules (both very dark movies tho)

I think gunner refers more to the team itself whereas gooner refers more to the fans.

I will watch the shaun videos because watching good youtubers calmly dunk on popular bad youtubers is a guilty pleasure

I guess it's easy to blame your lack of success with women on your height or dick size instead of facing the fact that they would still be unfuckable if they were 7 feet tall and had an 8 inch dick

ah, I've never watched a CinemaSins video. it sounds like something I can safely avoid because I don't like review shows that only exist to shit on movies they hate

I guess RedLetterMedia got big by doing that but at least they also sometimes talk about stuff they actually like

edit: also I don't think only obscure foreign art films count as works of art, I'm a horror fan so a lot of my favorite movies are very schlocky but still have artistic merit IMO

are you referring to all movies and shows as "slop"? because if so I strongly disagree, film is a legitimate art form and experiencing art is absolutely not meaningless. idk what this dude is watching but I wouldn't assume it's just Marvel. even good movies can have the kinds of flaws he's talking about

I can recognize faults in movies without it completely ruining my enjoyment of them, because I'm cool and normal. some people get weirdly mad any time a movie does something they don't like and I would suggest chilling tf out about it. making a movie is a complex process that involves many people making lots of decisions under specific constraints and it's pretty unreasonable to demand perfection

some of my favorite movies have definite flaws and that's okay, all art is flawed because humans are flawed. hell, sometimes it's the flaws that make a movie interesting

yeah there's a TV series, it's much better than that movie and this one is explicitly gay

I don't really think all movies need character development to be good, I mean it's definitely important in say, a character-driven drama film, but in a zany screwball comedy horror movie for kids? not so much.

Beetlejuice has a very silly premise which benefits from brevity, I think diving too deep into the characters would make the whole thing less fun and bog the movie down in terms of pacing. it's really important for a movie like that to maintain a sense of momentum, and that's very hard to do with a long runtime

Sbtrkt's self-titled album still holds up

Rustie - Glass Swords never gets old

I only listen to electronic music from 2011 apparently. what can I say, it was a good year

yeah it was really amazing, those shows were DJ sets and I'm very sad I never saw her during the OOEPUI tour which was more of a full performance but I'm still very grateful that I had the chance to see her at all

the first time was a show with A. G. Cook and QT. SOPHIE played L.O.V.E. which was unreleased so I had no idea what was happening. that song is cool on headphones but hearing, or rather feeling it on big club speakers was a transformative experience, having those vibrations wash over your entire body is indescribable, I'll always treasure that memory

the second show was probably even better because it was in a smaller room but everyone there was going absolutely crazy and it's where I heard some of the Charli XCX collabs for the first time

actually I just realized it was 3 times that I saw SOPHIE but now I'm just bragging

I feel so incredibly privileged to have seen SOPHIE live twice back in 2015-2016, her music was a major catalyst for helping me realize I'm not cis, even before she came out as trans. Nobody was pushing the boundaries of music like SOPHIE was and I think her death is the most profound loss to music and art of the 21st century, so it's great to hear that her previously unreleased music will live on and continue to reach more people.

PS I hope it's okay to use she/her pronouns for SOPHIE, I know there was some confusion about this after her death because she kept her personal life private but SOPHIE's family is using she/her so that's why I am too
