the ides of march! i believe it was when an assassin's creed character stabbed julius caesar in what was basically a mid-credits scene for some reason

you're telling me they got neoconfucianism in age of empires 4

book an appointment and get your spine checked because your look weaker than some of the most spineless people around us

larian mind virus tempting me with a second 200-hour playthrough modded to allow all six characters on the team

bracing for the worst as i open the new york times comment section on the mahmoud khalil news and seeing more unconditional support for him from those guys than from congressional dems over the past few days. it's so utterly embarrassing

when fascism comes to america it will be wrapped in, uh, the poster of a 2000s bro comedy?

gonna accuse the next guy who makes fun of canada on my TL of manufacturing consent

as an nyu alum i'd mock columbia but i have no leg to stand on. it's all one big nest of bootlickers

they're straight up disappearing people now and some of these mfs are still going on about dearborn and chappell roan

love it when a chinese city has a bit of history. you'd stumble upon thousand-year-old structures in random places but when they talk about the "old town", they're talking about the part that was built in the 1980s

this bridge, traditionally one of the four great bridges of china, is 967 years old. older than the unnecessary sex scenes discourse

i am for some reason visiting the southern chinese port city of quanzhou, current provincial town, former emporium of the world per marco polo and ibn battuta but most importantly, 19-development province in eu4

celebrating international women's day and not even doing the socialist pretense shaq timeout image

this place still doesn't quite have the juice. on twitter after aggressive curation the worst i’d get is just inane slop but here i have to look at "anyone that puts elon on my TL gets blocked because we don't platform fascists here" posts

challengers reference!

eli roth and debra messing have fallen off. no response and it's been literally days. don't feel like embarrassing their friends?

once upon a time the french had a real problem with the 1%, so the 5-10% solved it

less convinced by the ironic reading of the brutalist coda after coming across interviews where corbet used the "it's the destination" line for his own journey, and his DP and production designer basically took as fact zsofia's narrative about the institute. this in itself is ironic

you WILL offer critical support to brutalist architecture because our fascists favor neoclassism

rewatching and reading more about the brutalist reminded me just how unserious the name "budapest" is but then again, so is "pennsylvania". it's very fitting i suppose

this fucking guy

we gotta do something about the proverbial dudes who supposedly have the opportunity to do "the funniest thing ever" because they have a worse record than peter o'toole at the oscars

the two genres of posts from my oomfs

tempted to do the "that's what the money is for" bit on those who are a bit too upset over dune getting snubbed but i just didn't have the heart

five times i cast my vote for you, nickel boys. but i was wrong. you lack the campaign money to win an oscar

at least two movies that are kinda about the holocaust won stuff over the past three hours lol. thank god the movies are not dying

hollywood trades very graciously all posting the full clip of the no other land acceptance speech as if that balances out all the interference they ran for the zionists over the past year

they failed to celebrate the REAL independent cinema this year (megalopolis)

who does brody think he is, telling them to stop the music? he should win an oscar playing a musician first

why yes we should have had gal gadot present this award and humiliate these activists and filmmakers that would be so hilarious and epic. stupid ass joke

liberals: bring back DEI now! academy: ogey *does it for french people*

catching up on supposedly good biopics every oscar season

saw a real pain. real decent! the soul-searching american road trip with a touch of melancholy is very well-trodden territory, but it's just so precise, so earnest. solid, understated human drama is the real reason for the oscar season after all

they boycotted my small bean indie studio amazon mgm and that's why they didn't have the money to bribe oscar voters and make them vote for nickel boys 😔

i fucking hate doylestown, pa now and i didn't know doylestown, pa was a thing until the brutalist

saw a complete unknown. there's a guy being unknowable and there's wanting to find out what this guy's deal is in spite of the knowledge that you will fail. three to four films have done the last part better. the vibes are good this time but is there anything else

vance you accursed mis-birth of hell

the final dissolve in the brutalist is definitely an authorial, political gesture and in typical brutalist fashion it's also incredibly obfuscatory. i guess if you're trying to suss out where the film stands on zionism, it's somewhere around here
