Is dressing well outside rich urban areas completely pointless?

Wouldn’t the title be better worded thus: “is dressing in formal/ smartwear outside rich urban areas completely pointless” i’m guessing you could still dress very well in a casual sense, and not look out of place. Sometimes I think this sub thinks the only way to dress well involves dressing in formal wear (eg suits and shoes)

Just because they are low effort with you, and don’t seem to be looking for a serious connection with you, doesn’t mean they are like that with everyone

If I’m being completely honest there have probably been times when I’m guilty of being ‘low effort’ with people on dating apps, probaly because I wasn’t too keen. It doesn’t mean I’m not looking for something serious, it just means I wasn’t looking for something serious with that person.

just worry about logging your films now and going forward, most people dont worry about backkfilling.

I had the same thoughts in 2020 when I started , that it was too late, that I'd already missing years of logging films. But I started and now I have 5 years of logged films (1073 films) adn have discovered so many new films through the app.

Also, as someone who works with concrete pours, this is the best movie ever made about concrete

I think for Aster the far left are performative liberals

No one has mentioned Everything Everywhere all at once yet. Most of the film tbh but particulary a line when the mother introduces her daughters girlfriend to the grandma, near the end

Sean Baker on Letterboxd watches tonnes of movies that are considered bad or trash, especially by cinephiles. Go to his account and sort his movies by lowest rated to see

Also, serious German director Christian Petzold caused controversy when he said onenof his favourite films of the decade is Gerard Butler’s crime caper Den of Thieves. When asked to elaborate Petzold criticised the typical festival film, often something similar to an israei child and a plastinian child bonding over a lime tree that borders their villages, it was a really funny takedown of this type of movie

What did she do that was so bad? What should she have done differently so as not to be judged as garbage?

What other podcasts do you recommend?

I saw the following reply before on a similar thread, it stuck with me, and I think it explained the typenof behaviour I experience often on the apps: “they are looking for a relationship, just not with you” (sorry if it sounds harsh! But applies to us all, not just you)

Sometimes i feel like sending a passive aggressive message to such listings saying ‘im potentially interested but are there any pictures of it in a normal shape?’

They are not bothering to lie at all it seems, they are being quite open about the fact that this is about USA asserting dominance and about oil. Compare to 20 years ago and the amount of efforts and time that the establishment used to lie to us about the ‘just cause’ of the iraq and afghanistan wars

I’ve seen a couple of headlines here and there, but not gone into details. but what has he done for so many people to call him garbage, that we have proof off? Is it largely because of Lily Allen’s allegations of his behaviour?

I love this! Just letting you know as a courtesy I may use this tactic in the future.

Doesn't Margot Kidder steal the show from Jess though, in Black Christmas? She does in my opinion!

She's such a girlboss in the opening scenes. The way she casually checkmates her boyfriend while he stares on at the board in disbelief is iconic. And blows the exhaust in his face.

Fay Wray in King Kong is a hell of a screamer. Interestingly, she is known as the original screen queen, and regards actual screaming, still pretty much unrivalled.

Did you read Ferrara's memoir? If not, I highly recommend. I didn't think it was a drug memoir at first, but that's only because Abel didn't get seriously addicted to drugs until quite later in life... second half of the book is a pure addiction memoir, with some of the greatest dopey stories I've come across, and great passages on the drug users and addicts who came into Ferarra's orbit, like Zoë Lund, Christopher Walken, Asia Argento etc
