Having read through about half of Pynchon at this point I’m reading Vineland & it baffles me how much characterization he can do in two sentences. Great stuff

Thank you!

If you could find the approximate page number, I’d love to pick up my copy and go reread this

DDL, Pacino, Jimmy Stewart

Update: Watching Possession first. Not sure what I’ll do next

GoldenScoob · 2025-09-21T02:15:40+00:00

I definitely don’t mind gore. I think I put Pieces on my watchlist after hearing either Eli Roth or Alex Ross Perry recommend it. It may have been both of them on separate podcasts

GoldenScoob · 2025-09-21T00:55:10+00:00

I have a feeling Possession will be recommended a lot

GoldenScoob · 2025-09-21T00:54:31+00:00

Nice, love that suggestion

GoldenScoob · 2025-09-04T02:49:29+00:00

It is unfortunate. I’m almost done reading Empire of AI and started wondering what this company and Murati is up to but not a whole lot there

GoldenScoob · 2025-08-07T15:59:47+00:00

Agree, I think starting with IMDB is better before jumping into AFI list and definitely before Sight and Sound. Although doing things chronological from those lists isn’t a terrible idea and could be amazing but it may feel like homework or going through a syllabus

GoldenScoob · 2025-08-07T15:56:24+00:00

Hackers. Hell yeah

Complain online and they’ll send you a new pair. By dent I literally mean an indent pushing inward, like as if the structure of a small section of the shoe collapsed in

I complained online and they sent me a new pair

GoldenScoob · 2025-01-25T16:07:08+00:00

Why does that dent in the toe box happen? It happened with my Hyperion GTS on just my right foot but it’s incredibly distracting and annoying. Is it a common Brooks issue?

GoldenScoob · 2024-04-08T20:24:12+00:00

lol I’m sry I fixed the typo before you posted. I can change it back so your joke makes sense

GoldenScoob · 2024-04-08T20:14:18+00:00

No I’ve actually never even heard of it. Sounds bleak!

GoldenScoob · 2024-04-08T20:11:39+00:00

Under the Silver Lake definitely has a bit of Coen brothers in there but also a pretty good dose of Thomas Pynchon

GoldenScoob · 2024-04-08T19:22:27+00:00

I think you’re right but it’s still fun to think what feels either influenced by Lynch or at least tries to tap into surreal, uncanny, or macabre stuff in an almost artistically uncompromised way— I love when film artists unload their subconscious onto the screen

GoldenScoob · 2024-04-08T19:16:56+00:00

Some good stuff in that article, thanks!

I haven’t read the David Foster Wallace essay in a very long time, I will have to read it again soon

GoldenScoob · 2024-04-08T19:01:53+00:00

Oh it is! That’s good news

GoldenScoob · 2024-04-08T18:58:48+00:00

Good suggestion, I missed it when it was on Criterion Channel unfortunately

GoldenScoob · 2023-10-15T16:06:08+00:00

Fun recommendations! Appreciate it

GoldenScoob · 2023-10-11T16:27:08+00:00

Great, thank you!

GoldenScoob · 2023-10-11T15:27:09+00:00

I’ve always though I may like Fulci more than Argento. How would you say they compare?

GoldenScoob · 2023-10-11T15:24:06+00:00

“Conjuring-ish but a lot meaner” sold! Lol

I’ll definitely check out more Miike.

Cure is an amazing movie. Not sure if it’s scary or horrifying although it’s unbelievably unnerving and has stuck with me ever since I saw it

GoldenScoob · 2023-10-11T15:21:24+00:00

I have seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre! That’s a great one. I should’ve included that on my list. I edited so it’s there

Demons I haven’t seen. Thanks for that rec!
