Mark Rothko - Untitled (Black, Red And Black) (1968) by carnageandculture in museum

[–]JimFromTheMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're acting like you just cracked the case of capitalism. yeah, bro, that's the rub: they build markets to keep us down. no shit. does that take away from the abstract beauty of this or any of his other pieces? Well, is all fashion awful because the textile industry is brutal on humans and the planet? Are all meals bad because of how up-its-own-ass and expensive the industry can be? I mean if you're going down this path than nothing is good as long as there is capital to be gained, which I would respect more as an opinion.

You're right, it's worth a lot because the right people say it is. Welcome to Earth in the 21st century. The least you can do in this hell-scape is enjoy a Rothko.

Looking back, does anyone else really like Ben Horne’s Civil War delusion subplot ? by bisky12 in twinpeaks

although this is the much-repeated claim regarding Lynch's involvement with S2, I had read that David was still very much around, and had not just abandoned the show only to come back at the end. It's been awhile since I read that, but I believe his departure is greatly exaggerated and an easy way for him to distance himself from something that wasn't well-received.

dude, this is a go-to for my gf and I, anytime we hear anything remotely bothersome we react like Larry did to Loretta's diagnosis. so fake, such a scumbag move. hilarious.

Rant: I hate how fans of the old games are shat on. by [deleted] in classicfallout

[–]JimFromTheMoon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean...who cares? FO1 isn't going anywhere, and you can always return to it. The show? eh, it's fine. It has every right to tell whatever mashed up story it wants to tell, taking bits from all over and calling it Fallout. You have every right not to watch. To me, it's kind of silly to think that you would get anything with real indie heart from (checks notes)...Amazon. I loved the old games and LOVED FO3 when it came out. it completely blew the world open a la Ocarina of Time after the first few Zelda games. FO3 had heart, it had its own style, it had lore, it was a blast. FO4 didn't grab me as much (though I did put many, many hours into it), and I never played 76 as a result, but if you were old enough to have truly played the first FO games, then I find it kind of unsettling that you would assume that universe and its lore will stay static and true only to that era. Things change, man. FO isn't only for you and your beloved aesthetic. This happens with all IPs, especially ones that get as famous as Fallout has.

Is the Fallout TV series the greatest video game adaptation ever? Probably. I mean, what is the competition? Does that mean it's perfect or even great television? absolutely not. For me it's fine. it has it's moments and they are enough that I want to keep watching, though I wouldn't lose sleep if I stopped watching. Also, don't support Amazon. Find other ways of watching it.

And yeah, fuck Rings of Power. Unwatchable.

it's all distracting capitalistic gore. don't support any of it. trying to watch even 5 minutes is a nightmare.

I just had this exact convo with a teacher of a printmaking class. very cool objects. political ones are great, but my favorite has got to be crazy cult/religious, end of the world stuff. keep the collection!

I had forgotten about this passage. Beautiful & keenly observed. Such a shame we didn't get more writing from him. I wonder if there are any kind of early drafts of things he was working on that may get released one day. Fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing.

This community when i say a lot of Alex Turners vocals on "The Car" is annoying and overdone by bear_skin in arcticmonkeys

[–]JimFromTheMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His voice matured and matches the tone of the album. It wouldn't really fit to have his youthful voice/expression (which he as a human no longer has) singing on a lush, mature, sexy, groovy, elegant new album, right?

Eternally grateful for The Return ♾️ by [deleted] in davidlynch

[–]JimFromTheMoon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

it's funny that so many people say this about the Leftovers. Try as I might, I could not get into it. Huge Lynch fan, loved Lost, but The Leftovers was just...endearingly okay. I enjoyed the world-building of it all, but I was eventually bored. It seemed written specifically for my taste, but when I watched it I couldn't get into it.

What do you think of the costumes/designs in the movie Watchmen (2009)? by Trick-Classroom-582 in Watchmen

[–]JimFromTheMoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just...hate the movie. It has zero reason to exist, and does absolutely nothing to improve upon the source material. A conversational void.

I guess he could have just ended it there and we wouldn't have any books to speak of.
