A lighter Discord, you say?

Right? Give me some layers between the performance and the message. Watching it made me feel talked down to, as I was a child.

Good to know.

TD Ameritrade?

Believe it or not, it was a running chainsaw. In a Manhattan apartment building. After she ran screaming and punching all the doors. And no one noticed.

Our tastes match a lot. There’s more than one recommendation to add to my list in your comment. Thanks and happy new year!

Oh, tough one. A clockwork orange is certainly up there. 2001 is also another great one. “The man who wasn’t there” is a neo noir gem that’s underrated and I keep coming back to — most of the time watching desaturated in black and white. Alien, Blade Runner, and Her tied for sci-fi (very different sub genres). The good, the bad, and the ugly. Requiem for a dream.

Damn, the list goes on and on. What about you?

Whelmed is a perfect description for how I felt about many movies (thanks for that!), but this one just underwhelmed me.

This is from me in another thread:

Many things taken together: The message is too “in your face”. The comedy is weak. The story not engaging enough, lots of false starts but no follow through.

The acting is good though, and there were some tits. Overall 2/5. Not bad enough to matter, just “meh”. Which is why it confuses me that it enthralled so many people.

Gods no, I hated him explaining music in the movie. I get that it’s important to highlight how he’s just pretending to be human while parroting stuff some critic wrote, but ugh…

This guy Hanks.

It ain’t.

A big chicken with a special farofa stuffing with a family recipe (mine had, besides farofa itself, dried plums, gizzards, chicken liver, and other good stuff that my mother decided would match). The stuffing is cooked inside the chicken as it baked. It’s not uncommon to decorate the chicken with pineapple slices, figs and cherries.

Sides are usually rice “a la greek” (No idea why it’s called that, but it’s regular white rice with carrots, raisins, chives, varying by family), a simple salad (lettuce, tomato, onion).

You could argue the right is more focused on identity politics and for a longer time than the left.

The original meaning of idpol being doing politics as a matter of identity rather than ideas. It’s why you can get MAGAts to agree with you on a lot of stuff and disagree with the GOP, but they’ll still vote red, because their identity is republican.

The message is very clear (in your face). The fact that everybody keeps mistaking the VPs for one another because they’re indistinguishable is another point. But what is funny about it?

Nope. The world is on fire, society is going to hell in a handbasket, and I miss my mom.

Nope. I avoid ultra processed food and that would be the ultimate in ultra processing. I’ve been reducing my animal protein intake regularly, and consider this important, but not enough to risk my health on it.

Do you like it for the memes, too? It’s Napoleon Dynamite all over again.

I don’t hate it. It’s just a massive let down.

What is hilarious about it? The only scene that got me a chuckle was when he was narrating his entrance to a restaurant with his fiancé after one of the murders: “I entered the [restaurant name] and immediately a chill went down my spine: <dramatic pause> I was afraid there would be no good tables left.”
