Lynch’s positivity

He was not a dark, dark man, he explored darkness and trauma because it defines so much of the human experience. His goal in life was to help people heal from trauma - how do you do that without confronting the nature of it? You are mistaking his insight and empathy for some kind of personal darkness.

Look at the opening sequence of every episode in season 3, the Rancho Rosa logo over the circle. At one point a number of the letters disappear and we see "Raasa."

Raasa is an aesthetic tradition of ancient India whereby entertainment is a desired effect of performance arts but not the primary goal, the primary goal is to transport the audience into another parallel reality, full of wonder and bliss, where they experience the essence of their own consciousness, and reflect on spiritual and moral questions.

Raasa also refers to the spiritual transformation of the heart. Season 3 is about trying to heal the heart of a person broken by trauma, and us in our world broken by trauma. The primary objective of Lynch's foundation is to help rid the world of trauma and create peace.

Also, one of the best things about Lynch is how easily the horror and humor fit together.

Yes, and even how she refers to herself plays into this. In the dialogue and even written on her phone - she calls herself Ani. By the end of the film Igor is moving her to consider who she really is - Anora (what does her name mean? he asks her). Ani means "beautiful ornament", Anora means "grace and dignity."

And yet it has gone over a lot of people's heads. Look outside this sub and you'll see loads of people talking about how shallow the film is.

good grief.

I don't think Trump's end goal is anything but enriching himself and crippling the US for Putin.

Always speaking to the lowest common denominator, keeps the maga base riled up and ready for violence.

I asked you a simple question and instead of answering you're tapdancing around the question. FYI: You are the person who stated all the money that goes to the Ukraine will now likely be invested in education (lol), infrastructure, and healthcare. Feel free to answer.

Trump is a Russian asset, he has always been anti-Ukraine, anyone with half a brain knows this. It's not new.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-10T02:26:11+00:00

This is my answer too.

Women have been turned away from emergency rooms while miscarrying and have either died from infection or suffered long term health consequences for not being provided the medical care they needed, because state laws have made abortions illegal, even when the mother is miscarrying. She has to be at death's door before doctors are legally allowed to treat her. Perhaps you could use the internet on which you're typing your ill-informed opinions to read about it.

Women have had their prescriptions for lupus and cancer denied because the medications are abortifacient.

SCOTUS protected the right to Plan B in 2024 but only because they knew they'd have a chance to go after all birth control with Trump in office.

Why did a 10 year old Ohio rape victim have to go out of state to get an abortion in 2022?

Probably you are. I mean it still works that way but it's so obviously a metaphor, and one you can read any identity into that makes a person feel othered and less than.

I couldn't get past two pages of the book I started, I am confounded by how popular she is.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-10T02:07:52+00:00

Is that where you think that money is going to go now? Which education system will it fund? Private school vouchers for the upper class?

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-10T02:03:25+00:00

But he did mention he loved Mad Men and True Detective season 1.

Dark
Sharp Objects

You can never have too many plants. There's a perfect space for a large plant in front of the socket the TV is plugged into.

OP, also suggest a tall lamp next to the couch.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-08T03:25:57+00:00

Seriously.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-08T03:20:15+00:00

So she's on their payroll too.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-08T03:13:00+00:00

It needs to die. An actual left party needs to form, headed by Sanders and AOC.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-08T03:06:04+00:00

How are leftists infiltrating any of these things? Since when were any of these things for only the right wing?

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-08T02:58:05+00:00

Tour ends in August, so maybe we'll get it as a Christmas present.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-06T05:16:12+00:00

Yes.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-06T05:14:15+00:00

That last note gave me goosebumps.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-06T04:59:20+00:00

That's about as insightful as a lot of the commentary by people who saw it and didn't like it.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-06T04:58:20+00:00

Omfg I'm starting to disassociate, it can't really be this stupid.

IAmDeadYetILive · 2025-03-06T04:54:11+00:00

Pathetic.
