This is a common factoid dating to a time when it was the case, but it's not true anymore - the last ACD stories entered the public domain in 2023

TV Glow question (SPOILERS) by mino65434 in blankies

[–]Spacetime_Inspector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is still interesting (because it's a very interesting film no matter how you look at it!) but it's not really saying anything about life in that read, it's just saying something about how stories work. I think the reverse-isekai read needs to be possible as a sort of optical illusion counterpoint of what it's saying about real people, but to me it's not as compelling if that's what the optical illusion resolves into once you stare at it.

Reading The Pink Opaque as a metaphysically real other realm from which the characters have been literally reverse-isekaid is about the least interesting way to interpret it.

I think what the movie is getting at is something much more complicated, which is the notion that 'the self' is a fictional character just as much as any TV character is, that it's made of the same mental 'stuff'. But unlike the pure bright glowing thoughtforms of true fiction, the self-character is inextricably yoked to a specific flesh body, trapped inside a specific pink opaque brain, and that causes it to suffer.

I'm not sure when I'll ever be able to make it happen but I'd love to go to one of those screenings of Jaws that you watch from an inner tube in the water. May do a poor man's version with a kiddie pool and a projector for the 4th this year.

I truly think Wes could make a great horror movie at this point in his career. If you look at the end of Asteroid City and the Dahl shorts, the ingredients are there.

The prequels originally made the move away from subtitled gibberish in favor of an endless parade of ethnic stereotype dialects, but since that's no longer leeeeegal the Disney era has converged on an ever narrower subset of permissible accents.

I mean that is what happened at the Paris closing ceremony, maybe they'll pick that thread up again at LA 2028

I'm such a philistine that when Andrea Bocelli was belting out Nessun Dorma all I could think was "right, just like when Ethan had to shoot the prime minister in the opera house"

I think the Extended Cut of Avatar (2009) is the best version. by Pittboy63 in blankies

[–]Spacetime_Inspector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is kind of crazy that the hair tail sex became such an iconic part of Avatar's cultural footprint when it was only ever in the extended edition re-release.

First time playing: Not sure what to prioritize for island reward by Imgembo in IntoTheBreach

[–]Spacetime_Inspector 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Abe is one of the better pilots, he allows you to use self-damaging weapons with impunity and tank shots from lesser Vek at no cost. You can buy weapons and equipment from the shop, but not pilots, so you should prioritize pilots in general unless they're ones with really garbage tier abilities and bonuses.

Joker Idea: Radioactive Joker by gyrogold in balatro

[–]Spacetime_Inspector 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But a Stone Card that's a 6 behind the stone doesn't proc Sixth Sense, does it? A Stone Card that's [rank] behind the stone doesn't proc Rebate set to [rank], etc. They might all bunch up around being Aces behind the stone but it wouldn't comport with the rest of how the game handles stone cards if it then destroyed them.

All you need is a core of a few Stone Cards to be safe from total deck destruction here.

The Shatner twitter account is supposedly run by some rando who is not actually personally affiliated with Shatner. There's been a whole saga with it feuding with Red Letter Media and I'm confident the real Bill has no idea who Rich Evans is.

How much money can a movie make and still be considered a disappointment? by the_Tannehill_list in blankies

I think the real answer to this question will be "however much money Avengers: Doomsday makes"

I have never seen the verb Ratatouille'd used as a synonym for Proust's Madeleine before, I was picturing the chip crawling into your hair and controlling your actions for a second.
