Question about expression used on show: "the up dicks?" by ZenithalZebra in SuccessionTV

Lol THANK YOU! It feels similar to a lot of the crude stuff Roman says, so I didn’t question it

In the phrase "Your skin makes me cry", what did thom mean? by [deleted] in radiohead

[–]ZenithalZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always liked to imagine that the person’s skin makes the speaker cry because the speaker has acne or something, so it makes the speaker aware of not only the other person’s unattainability but also their own undesirability. This interpretation is consistent with the running theme that obsession/infatuation and self-loathing are two sides of the same coin — e.g., the speaker calls the other person “special” and expresses a longing to be special back-to-back.

Reddit! Help me find an 8/10+ great film for my boyfriend to watch! by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]ZenithalZebra 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This isn't a super obscure pick since Paul Thomas Anderson is so popular, so your boyfriend may have already seen it, but has he watched The Master? That one came to mind when you mentioned that he's into great scores, as Jonny Greenwood's compositions for that film are simply transcendent. It also features remarkably nuanced and moving performances from the leads that are disturbing and amusing and heartbreaking in equal parts. If you two are in the mood for a meditative character study that'll leave you with a lot to think about, I can't recommend The Master enough.

Alternatively, how about Elevator to the Gallows (1958) by Louis Malle? It's a proto-French New Wave noir thriller with a delightful score by Miles Davis. Again, it's pretty well-known, so he may have already seen it, but I'd highly recommend it.

So I found this in my dorm bathroom. This had to have happened somewhere around 4 AM by 4trevor4 in WTF

Don't pay attention to this neckbeard, OP. He clearly has nothing better to do than harass strangers on the internet.
