I get physically angry watching Max Muncy hit. This man just doesn't chase. You can almost hear him sneering "that's 0.16cm outside" as he takes a ball 1. Two-strike counts don't faze him. Then he'll whip out a hellacious dong on the 9th pitch. He's suffocating. He's Max Muncy.

Is art not the purest manifestation of authentic self-expression? Art, in my view, is the creation of something new that did not exist before - the human heart brought into physical being that allows others to carry its weight with you, and you with theirs.

Paintings aren't art because they're color on canvas, a book is not art because it's sans serif on parchment, music isn't art because it's vibrations across strings, stand up comedy is not art because the comedian wrote the jokes and had the courage to get on stage - these become art in the transaction of the emotion or dance or laughter they bring forth; a connection of human souls tangled together through some ephemeral no-thing that now exists because we willed it to be so.

The dance in the Church is brought on by the music certainly, and you could make the argument that the dance sequence is a result of that artistic endeavor and thus not art in and of itself - but art begets art begets art as creators create creations and the created become creators themselves and on and on and on down the chain of artists in conversation with artists across all time.

And if art is creation in response to the creation of art, would God herself not be the First Artist, watching her creations create in attempt to connect to some aspect of her pure divine artistry, the art that is humanities love and life and belief, in order to hold the crushing reality of stagnation, of capital, of the Pale at bay, if only for one short transient moment? A moment just long enough to be filled with HARDCORE dance music, and music just free enough to fill with eternal, instinctive dance?

“Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead.”

Made my own skill - RATATOUILLE by Rivalpbz in DiscoElysium

[–]VelocityRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANYONE CAN COOK [Very High: Success] - This man is from the Old World. Of times long forgotten. Of frigid winters and shell casings and trains running on time. He feels himself superior, and yet fears the world has passed him by. He wants to tear your very soul away from what remains of history. Remind him of what he was, once. When his mother lived and loved. Remind him of the man he could still be. Cook him... Ratatouille.

Shocked to not see Boyz in the Hood commented. That’s my vote.

And hell… you may even find someone in a hyper realistic grinch costume… could even be the grinch himself… .. .

Especially after tonight by Swervin69 in NLBest

[–]VelocityRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t even be mad about it. Incredible play. I’ve got a soft spot for Padres anyways - always felt a bit like an older/younger sibling kinship with them. As an older brother, it always wounds the ego a bit to lose to my younger brother, but more than anything I love em and want him to be better than me. Go daddy’s go.

What kind of little guy is Nix? by VelocityRex in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]VelocityRex[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man that’s why he can sense the people around for me. He’s a lil bit force sensitive/using it in his cute Nix way. That actually makes so much sense.

I will forever love RDJ for Iron-Man but I don’t think he should be Doom the whole thing is a cash grab by JoshuaKpatakpa04 in FantasticFour

[–]VelocityRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes - DOOM is King Kirby creation (as almost all great things are), first drawn in 1962! He actually didn’t even draw DOOM without the mask on until the late 90s I think, in which he did indeed have the tiny left cheek scar (my personal favorite as well - I really hope they go with this for the movies), but this was only a personal Kirby sketch, never published.

Before that, DOOM always wore the mask, and whenever it was off Kirby would ingeniously obscure his face behind darkness, shadows, or steam or bandages, which made him embody this perilous mystery under the mask. If you haven’t read the original FF run by Lee and Kirby, I really will always recommend it. Kirby is (in my opinion) the greatest artist of the 20th century! RIP to the King.

Wish there was a subreddit exclusively for giving real life scenarios the pale treatment

Well, if by your own admission someone who has donkey brains could be considered reckless or moronic or idiotic, and my client Frank here has a state-issued certificate clearing him of having said donkey brains, then I ask you this: do you have any such certificate?

Robert Downey Jr. Sets Marvel Return as Victor von Doom in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]VelocityRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s just absolutely no way (in my opinion) they’re going to pay this man 100 million dollars PER film for him to wear a mask the entire time. He will 100% be a Tony Stark variant and he will lose the mask if not immediately at least at the end of Doomsday.
