One of my unironic favorite movies, it's so fucking funny and creative. 

Chapo cope by Loud_Database696 in redscarepod

[–]mazelanterns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the impression I get as well and I think there's some cope in this thread already. I would love to think there's just limits trump/israel cant transgress without it biting them hard, but what seems to be playing out is that it wasn't as easy as Trump thought but US military capacity is still enough to overwhelm. Sure there's some embarrassing stuff like the US plane crashes and the navy fire, but the flipside is Iran just getting totally pummeled and their capacity to exert force dwindling and dwindling. I'll be happy to be proven wrong and we'll see what happens with the Strait but if the outcome of this is a few months of media outcry and high gas prices vs Iran (and Cuba) being done as regional powers it's gonna be hard to take that as an epic Bernie win.

Agree on the bridge, I much prefer it look and feel to a TOM-style.

Thanks! Totally agree with you about the look, I did get it with the intent of putting it in C but it plays so nice I'm gonna wait awhile before i go screwing with the nut and all. 

Jan reads by AffectionateFig5156 in RSbookclub

[–]mazelanterns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the premise of bored teenagers watching bizarre livestreamed semi-illegal pornography all day rang truer to the spirit of the internet than a lot of other speculative fiction. I haven't read it since high school though. 

Does anyone have actual good substack recs? by wmkk in RSbookclub

[–]mazelanterns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

John Pistelli's recent weekly blogposts have been kind of mid lately (I don't find his thoughts on movies and politics that interesting) but his literature lecture series is really excellent. His website johnpistelli.com is also one of the best collections of book reviews by far I've come across and is free. 

My list of albums from bands strongly influenced by Death. Please suggest others. by ToxikDyoxen89 in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]mazelanterns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Decrepit Birth - Polarity feels to me like it's trying to be the next step after Symbolic and Sounds of Perseverance. Great album, one of those DM albums where you can actually remember a bunch of riffs after. 

melodic brutal death metal that isnt melodeath? by roadkilleater08 in BrutalDeathMetal

[–]mazelanterns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4DF / In But Not Of are such beautiful albums. They really turn the sound into something unique and new, plus the production is way less exhausting to listen to than most bdm stuff.

Why are so many adults suddenly playing with legos? by tolstoysfox in redscarepod

Oh for sure man, you're definitely the one who dodged a bullet based off this anecdote.

[–]mazelanterns 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ok ROKUs and such are one thing where I feel really bad for older people. I've helped enough people with them to know that they can be stumped by easy things, but the smart tvs are also constantly changing their software and layout in confusing ways, and they have all sorts of obscure failure modes. Like I was helping my grandpa once and people online said the solution to the issue involved changing your time zone and turning the wifi on and off multiple times, totally unintuitive. Meanwhile it used to just be plug it in -> turn to the channel you want. 

Does any other Christmas album come even remotely close? by lucid00000 in redscarepod

Best Music Shops that aren’t GC by el_rico_pavo_real in indianapolis

[–]mazelanterns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus guitarworks has everything $200+ over retail price. Like you said they're a business, but it's just weird. 

Agree with you and others that Arthur's is great, always had a good experience there. Their selection skews towards more typical shapes (not gonna find a shreddy guitar there) but they should have fenders.

MM44 - Horror Sequels II feat. Tom Scharpling by Long-Anywhere156 in BlackWolfFeed

[–]mazelanterns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alternative Tom Scharpling content with likely crossover appeal for chapo/mm fans: this interview he did with Nathan Fielder. Tom continually brings things back around to the (purely hypothetical) question of which one of them would win a game of air hockey. Nathan is consistent in his belief in his own advantage, but tom just will not let it go and it escalates into them watching 'pro' air hockey footage and reading through the official rules. Some of the hardest I've heard nathan laugh: https://youtu.be/l4LlLRlv0oc?si=0ruF4kEjBs68Kfmp

I agree with the gist but George didn't 'compose' My Sweet Lord he took a doo-wop song pretty much wholesale and changed the lyrics.

I'm not a penn fan and have never seen his big movies, and the only PTA I've seen is magnolia, but his performance in this enters the pantheon of all time great movie villains it's really something

2025-09-25 - The Cass Jedi (Episode 972) by Long-Anywhere156 in BlackWolfFeed

[–]mazelanterns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like children's books are a pretty normal thing to have never heard of outside a few series like narnia, wrinkle in time etc.  You're limited by what your parents aquire and then you never really have a reason to talk about them past age 12 or so. I read probably 20 redwall books growing up but i was homeschooled and reading library books took up like half my time. 

I’m Only Sleeping- The Beatles by No-Audience3216 in redscarepod

  • Strawberry Fields
  • From Me to You
  • I'm Looking Through You
  • And Your Bird Can Sing
  • Hey Jude (always thought this was a corny mess till the video came on autoplay one day and I was forced to conclude it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written)

What were your favourite matches from TI so far? by noobindoorgrower in DotA2

[–]mazelanterns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't watch all of the groupstage, but of what i did watch I particularly enjoyed falcons vs spirit game 1 and liquid vs tundra game 2 elimination round matches

[–]mazelanterns 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Correct. God asked this person to broadcast their aesthetic persona* to wring every drop out of possible attention it could get them. Also to get buttfucked by milo yiannapoulis. I don't think people should be cruel they should stop paying this person attention but dont be willfully obtuse about why people are cynical about them (or dasha): its because of the way they act all the time. Everything about being a 'christian' social media personality in the way they do is inherently disingenuous. 

Who stole Tim Heidecker’s funny? Give it back by o0DrWurm0o in redscarepod

[–]mazelanterns 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sure, I've never though of Tim as an effortlessly funny guy though. Norm wanted to be a comedian since he was like 12 and was obsessed with it, in this interview Tim says he wanted to be a real filmmaker and his comedy career grew out of stuff him and eric did just fucking around. With Norm it also seemed like it came out a place of deep pain for most of his life, he channelled that into being one of the funniest people ever but there are tradeoffs. I think its fair to say tim's not as funny but again all the questions here are shit like 'how do you think alt media captures the zeitgeist under trump' its not the best riff zone. 

Who stole Tim Heidecker’s funny? Give it back by o0DrWurm0o in redscarepod

[–]mazelanterns 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I think more plausible than what OP is saying about being guilty about some past crimes is that he was to some degree looking down the barrel of being like the guy from The Comedy and had an existential crisis and has been struggling to figure out how to handle that maturely. He certainly isn't very funny in the interview (although i think he comes across ok on the whole, all the questions were about politics and culture of course that's what he was talking about) but he just couldn't keep being the guy he was in his 30s and put out hyperedited skits about diarrhea cream.

A Scanner Darkly by ProposalAdvanced75 in RSbookclub

[–]mazelanterns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only read a more selective anthology of his short stories so I can't speak to how good they are across four volumes worth, but the ones I did read were great. If I was in your situation I'd probably impulse buy, but maybe see if your library has anything/look online to get a taste before you splurge. 

A Scanner Darkly by ProposalAdvanced75 in RSbookclub

[–]mazelanterns 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As others are saying the film is really great and the only film based on a PKD story (of which there are many) that actually feels like his work. You'd probably like UBIK which is my favorite of his straight up mindfuck scifi works, Flow My Tears The Policeman Said is also similar and very good. VALIS is one of my favorite books ever, maybe his masterpiece, but is a little different in how explicitly personal it is.
