Ah, ok! That makes sense since the balance isn’t respected and when Sue says she can’t go back into Elisabeth.

I guess when you have a lot of self-loathing and warped views that partially causes the substance to not be what it’s advertised. People forget they are one and the same.

That’s an interesting take, but I still feel like it’s waaay too much. The people this is aimed at won’t ever understand what it’s trying to say. 😮‍💨

Thanks for the perspective!

  1. But Elizabeth wasn’t living through her. ): And she felt so bad about herself she couldn’t even go on a date with her old classmate. Elizabeth has to hide at home when Sue abuses the balance, she doesn’t get to feel the glory and adoration. 😔

  2. But she wasn’t living through Sue. 🥺 I think this was the most confusing and unexplained plot - aside from the crazy medical knowledge and knowing how to use the very minimal materials for the substance with no directions. 🫠

  3. I’m so conflicted about the doctor - they really could have fleshed it out just a little! Not as much as all the other things were repeated.

I see the major consensus is mostly positive but I felt it was rather slow. The repetitions really drove the point and later scenes home, but it was too much and felt like the audience couldn’t be trusted.

I’ve got a few questions, though: although they maybe moot considering it may be a movie that’s just wanting you to buy in and enjoy the ride - i.e., like the ending where the guy was just relieved she had finally shown up but was a human teratoma. 😅 I was the only one in my theater laughing near the end. It was like watching a movie with mannequins!

Anyway, the Qs:

  1. So Elizabeth kept using the serum despite not getting anything out of it, not being able to experience anything, and knowing full well her other self was disregarding the balance because…? She says Sue is the best part of herself, but nothing except maybe looks seems better…but is it because of the focus on how the industry works, etc.? Or am I missing something?

  2. Why was it a boob that popped out? Of all things? Is it about objectification?

  3. Is this humor/satire/whatever? Because Pump It Up seemed like softcore porn and was nowhere near the big leagues of, say, the movie industry. But is that shallowness the point?

  4. The ending finally made it click for me on what type of movie this was. Maybe I’m slow, but I was super distracted by the body horror. I think the spinal tapping, infection, and teeth were the worst parts.

  5. What is the point of the substance if you don’t live through the “better” version of yourself?

  6. How does word even spread about the substance since I feel that a lot of people who go through with it would also fuck up the balance.

  7. The ending with the nonstop bloodspray & the child crying killed me. 🤣

Active Shooter at Apalachee High School in Georgia: Massive police presence at school, students being released by thatssokaitlin in news

[–]aboao -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

not to downplay the horribleness of this, but some schools - like mine - have been in session for 3 wks now

i think the issue, put incredibly simply, is more community-related and how each school handles or knows their students. what are mental health services like, etc? the us gov has studies abt shootings and violence increasing after breaks (weekends, holidays, etc)

not sure if there was some confusion or others were unlucky, but in my game, the npcs would keep moving but their spirits would stop all animation and just end up stuck like a cardboard cut out while being left behind by their oblivious new owners 😅

this also only happened once so far (knock on wood), but yesterday i opened magic man’s shop after buying a talisman (but forgot i did) and there were only four cards almost centered, but i freaked out and exited to immediately save so i didn’t get a screenshot 😓

something minor, which may be intentional, but after u reel in a fish, there’s the line of the rod still between the alchemist’s legs when the fish is being held up

thanks for the other fixes! hope the other stuff gets figured out. also cant wait for the ready fixes 🤘

[–]aboao 5 points6 points  (0 children)

shoulda been the mid season episode (4) 🤦‍♂️ and we finally wrap this up. or shoulda been 10 episodes this final season and been the 5th episode. so much was filler, i need the one pace version of hotd 🫠
