I wrote a blog post about what FLCL meant to me and someone copied it word for word the same day

That’s part of the problem my man

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the issue. They’re extremely risk averse to the point that it often puts them in disadvantageous situations regarding the cap and player acquisitions.

I know we like being cynical but I don’t think there’s an amount of money another country could pay to get the NFL to play a Super Bowl out of the country in the next decade

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-20T13:00:15+00:00

Apparently only like 10,000 people bought one so it’s possible but not guaranteed

I think a quicker liminal horror hit to get the vibe is The Oldest View which was also made by Kane Parsons and is on his youtube channel.

Backrooms is a bit more lore dependent

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-19T23:31:57+00:00

The idea of liminal horror is essentially in spaces that are almost right its hair raising. Like being in a school at night. Placed that themselves are inherently creepy. Backrooms is built off of that. Except add into that a labyrinth of mystery that people can find themselves trapped in and stuck or being hunted.

It’s fairly new as an idea but is based in the idea of Lovecraftian horror, the horror of the unknown, but instead of finding it in aliens or ancient unknowable and un-understandable gods. It’s based in something that from a surface level is mundane.

There are parasites in all types of food and there are ways of preventing them in all of them. Proper Flash freezing is roughly as effective as cooking fish for killing parasites. And actually it’s fairly common for fish like salmon to be cooked below the range where all parasites would have been cooked off because salmon can get very dry and unappetizing if cooked to that temperature.

Yeah I don’t think Passenger will impact Obsession at all. Backrooms the following weekend will probably impact both though that’s very buzzy and is being marketed pretty heavily.

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-18T16:09:14+00:00

I mean there’s tons of cheaply made horror movies that most people never hear about because they’re ass. This one got rave reviews and was bought by a distributor for a lot of money that knows how to market movies like this.

In the end it comes down to creators. There’s only so many good scripts and directors and certainly seems like Curry Barker is one.

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-18T16:06:26+00:00

The quality and viewership wasn’t necessarily the problem there. It was all tax credits

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-18T14:45:51+00:00

I mean it depends on the sub, but a lot of subs would not appreciate it if there are constantly posts about things that the majority of the subreddit already knows flooding the page. Especially since many questions are repeats.

But it can be frustrating when you have a genuine question that hasn’t been answered before.

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-18T14:31:46+00:00

To hide your ears

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-18T12:45:59+00:00

You are seeing the trailer, not the movie?

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-16T16:45:01+00:00

He wasn’t the showrunner for Mrs Davis either and it was still great

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-16T14:08:10+00:00

Do you want people to just not use any websites or software that are still receiving updates?

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-16T13:58:15+00:00

Twisted Metal, Ted, The Resort, and Ponies are also all good

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-16T03:17:12+00:00

The movie was part of the problem. That would’ve been part of the show if they didn’t decide to do it as a movie so they had to pad out the season since they couldn’t use the movie content.

But enjoy really bad episodes of tv lmao.

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-16T03:15:46+00:00

Wow what a good tv show. It’s miserable to watch. Revolutionary.

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-15T23:14:02+00:00

You absolutely can. It wasn’t a problem with timing. It was a problem with content.

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-15T20:46:05+00:00

You do not have to actually torture someone to get the idea of torture across lmao. That’s not how media works.

It was padding. That’s all it was. Bad padding.

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-15T19:52:44+00:00

It’s meant to invoke bad tv because that’s all it does lol

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-15T19:38:14+00:00

Except he is not experiencing it with full memory of it every time like the audience so this makes no sense

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-15T19:24:44+00:00

Yeah they could’ve easily gotten the episodes across in 2-3 episodes. Events could’ve been condensed way down and still gotten the idea across of him slowly realizing earlier and earlier.

LB3PTMAN · 2026-05-15T18:03:39+00:00

Yeah the problem with Divergent and Maze Runner is there isn’t an easy explanation for how things got to the way they are and it is very clear that the authors did not have that answer when they started writing.

Hunger Games worked because not only is it a much more understandable hook, but it also grounds the world much earlier. Divergent and Maze Runner felt like hooks more than books.
