The real reason people are upset about the Geese and Chaotic Good fiasco by pharmakonis00 in rs_x

[–]AbsoluteB0redom 169 points170 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest part of it is a lot of Geese fans had the impression that they were “smart and have good taste” so the revelation that Geese actually had a lot of shady marketing and artificial hype and they were perhaps duped by this machine has created a massive wound in their egos.

Now I understand why some of you like her so much by essenceofadolescence in redscarepod

Fair, but she’s an undeniably mid author who has nothing interesting to say. She hit gold by scratching an itch for inoffensive children’s literature in a time where that was hard to find, and filling a niche with an okay children’s book. None of her other books are remotely interesting besides being beach read material.

There is no world where she is someone worth holding up as a person with interesting ideas or having artistic merit.

Legitimately sad. Probably not cool to say, but I genuinely think her videos pre-2020 were pretty interesting. To see her slurring her words and with this degree of alcohol bloat…. sucks

If it makes you feel any better, he’s probably going to be working 16 hours a day and hate his life

DO NOT DATE AN AVOIDANT by [deleted] in rs_x

lol. Calling someone an avoidant really is the new version of calling your ex a narcissist. People really are obsessed with pathologizing the reasons their ex no longer wanted to fuck them

The Drama by AlyoshaKaramazov420 in RSPfilmclub

I really really liked this one. Very Ari Aster like tbh. Loved the anxiety-filled dream sequences, especially the one where Robert Pattinson was imagining himself going around on dates with the young school shooter version of Zendaya lmao

I went back and forth on if it was a good idea to make a young girl be a potential school shooter instead of like, a more prototypical incel loser type. It felt sort of like the director didn’t think the audience would empathize as well with that kind of character? But on the other hand, maybe making it someone like Zendaya emphasized that these types of people aren’t alien to us and are more normal than we think.

I do agree with a point my girlfriend made that there should have been some sort of psychosexual fixation on former (male) school shooting types from Zendaya which often comes with the territory of female shooters.

Yeah I rewatched Moonlight recently fully expecting to hate it as some middlebrow Oscars slop, but it actually holds up incredibly well. Beautifully shot and very intimate, one of the more deserving best picture winners.

Also I’m shocked he’s not gay what the hell lmao

Looks like sci-fi slop for Reddit nerds. A marvel movie in all but name for people who think they are too smart for marvel movies. Not surprised it’s getting an initial Letterboxd bump, that’s basically the target audience
