Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u
God that movie was so good. Wild At Heart (1990) It's Lynch being Lynch with Nic Cage being Nic Cage. The Wizard of Oz stuff is even more on the nose than normal and it's very much direct in line with Blue Velvet . In some ways I think it's probably the safest film he's made.

@Sarex I think there's a good chance that Guts leads an army against Griffith and the apostles to give the supporting cast some time. The God Hand is definitely going to show up in some capacity I think what's most likely to happen is a bittersweet ending. Like Guts does kill Griffith but doing so is completing the God Hand's plan. He still rides into the sunset with Casca, but his actions completed the myth that Griffith was a savior who was murdered by humanity- thus dooming mankind to some kind of worldly suffering.

I don't know, I think it depends on how strong Guts is now. Like whether he's still going to have to throw down with Zodd or just body the apostles and fight Griffith as Super Saiyan Guts.

The Wizard of Oz (1938) I've only seen this a few times and this was the first time I've seen it in theaters, but as impactful as it was on cinema it feels like I've seen it millions on times. Lynch/Oz (2022) It's definitely interesting, but I don't see this appealing unless you dig Lynch. It's not a big explain all like the 4+ hour youtube video that purports to explain Twin Peaks, but when Jon Waters says he remembers Lynch telling him that he thinks about the Wizard of OZ every day, it does make certain stylistic elements click together. Shadow of the Vampire (2001) I think this is probably the best nosferatu movie. Willem Dafoe as a senile vampire is really quite something.

While this is true, I think we can trace all of this back to 1865. Replacing Trump isn't enough, the post Trump years will need a new Reconstruction and the relegation of the gang of pdffiles to the dustbin of history.

Dorohedoro s2 Man, I almost forgot about this show. 6 years to make a new season is crazy even in these days. I got to episode 3 or 4 and realized that I forgot most of what happened in the first season so I'll probably have to rewatch it. Show itself has some ugly cgi but is good otherwise.

Manga/Anime unable to stick the landing isn't anything new, but the Chainsaw Man thing is dumber than if the creator would have just jumped ship or done a Berserk hiatus. I guess if you read it as ending with part 1 and pretend 2 never happened (lmao) it can work but man what a letdown. Anyways apparentlyJoJo: Steel Ball Run isn't on a weekly schedule but not-DIO getting stuck on a bridge after Gyro used his balls on his horse and then Pocoloco's horse surfing downhill on a cow skeleton is probably enough JoJo for a month.

JoJo: Steel Ball Run JoJo goes western. It's insane and probably the best anime I've seen this year.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part VII
If you're using mods, I'd reccomend the Arcanist. It can raise DC and caster level on demand which is pretty great for a caster, but you need a mod that adds Quick Study for it to be where it needs to be. There's also Ley Line Guardian Witch as an alternative to the Sage Sorc, imo it's got a better early game with hexes and by the time you start spellbook merge stuff you're just ****ing everything up with busted Lich spells and not needing the better sorcerer spell list.

I don't think it's very note worthy that the Supreme Court blocked the tariffs. One thing they've been consistent about during the Trump regime is not letting Trump and the rest of Jeffery's old friends **** with the money too much. Sadly, and I really hate to say this, Trump is right in a way. The supreme court has already ceded power and immunity to him specifically; the carveouts for ecobomic stuff like tariffs and the Fed are not consistent with the logic of the unitary executive the court has used to authorize his power. Honestly I find it more contemptible than if the reactionary judges were to go in whole hog as it just shows the bankruptcy of their position, ie being ruled by a king is fine until he tries to crash the stonks.

I think I heard Ro Khanna, a US congressman who has been going into the archives to look at the unredacted files, claim that at least 90% of it remains unreleased or redacted. And if that's true and given how much dirt the edited 10% we got is....then man the rest of it is going to be insane.- The All Things Political Topic - world tidings
Ricky Gervais telling celebs to make political speeches is a celeb making a political speech. Also I can't remember the last time I've seen Gervais do something, I guess being anti-anti-ICE is him fishing for a spot in the Roganverse. Anyways, I think ICE Out pins is the bare minimum. I'm not expecting for Bad Bunny to personally stand in the way of Trump's secret police kidnapping children to deport to Epstein Island 2.0 God knows where, but kicking cash to help the people that are is good and if these guys already are (I believe Eilish is) then good on them. I still think the everyday resistance of normal folks in places where ICE is invading is more notable.- The All Things Political Topic - world tidings
Damn The Dems won a race for state senate in Texas in a R+20 area that's possibly the hotbed of Christian Nationalism in the US, where the Republican outspent them to an absurd degree, and where Trump himself tried to stir up magats to the polls. Only a special election and we're 9 months out from the midterms, but I would never have bet on this happening.- The All Things Political Topic - world tidings
Honestly, I think the Trump people being fine with their idol being a pdfile is the least surprising part of all of this. I hope there is some consequence for all of the Epstein people but frankly I think all of them, especially Trump, will see no real consequences from being accomplices to and participants in Epstein's pedophile ring.- Forum Comments and Issues Repository
Many people are saying it's the perfect size and any bigger would be too much.- The All Things Political Topic - world tidings
I don't think so, not in the sense that Trump will not sacrifice Noem, but in the sense that he'd back down. This is what Magats want, to see "blue" cities and states conquered by Trump's paramilitary (****, you can scratch off the para) and occupied to bring them in line. The killings of "antifa supersoldier domestic terrorists" is an intrinsic part of this, not an unfortunate accident, and if you look at what the magats are saying to each other they do view this as part of "taking the country back". Trump and the Republicans are almost certain to get bulldozed in the midterms, but you have to keep in mind that Trump is a dementia-addled omegaboomer who consumes almost exclusively Fox News and Truth Social posts so he probably thinks this is the most popular thing in the history of our country. To boot, whoever is in the room at any given time is effectively the president and that seems to mostly be Stephen Miller.- The All Things Political Topic - world tidings
While going after Bill now is certainly not motivated by a desire to see justice done, I personally don't care if he does get caught up over that because he sure as well was/is very good friends with a lot of the other Epstein guys and probably did do that ****. While he's there he can tell them about another guy him and Jeff hung out with in the aughts. - The All Things Political Topic - world tidings
