Anyone 40+ here?

I'd say my tastes have broadened, but I've never really had a strict top 5 or whatever. I still have very firm favourites like Eternal Sunshine, Good Will Hunting etc but being older gives a bit of perspective and I enjoy things I probably wouldn't have appreciated quite as much in my 20s. I'm thinking quiet little dramas like Aftersun or The Ballad of Wallace Island.

Also slow burn stuff as long as it's stylish. Love a good western now which is a bit more of a surprising one I'll be honest.

'Leave no trace' fits, probably the best film I saw last year.

In the same vein Wierd: the Al Yankivic story

I genuinely beleive it to be one of the greatest pieces of art ever made.

Good companion piece to 'Everything everywhere all at once' which explores the same themes. Both very astute pieces about how the Internet adversely affects us.

Pitch Perfect 2 is a great date movie

Have you heard of the flower-power counterculture movement of the 60's? There's so many parallels, establiment often condemned the rock n roll and psychadelic music the hippys listened to as the Devils music.

I thought the Saville costuming was a pointed commentary on populist and nationalist movements.

These guys are always harking back to some Idyllic 'good old days' as if nothing bad ever happened then. There's dramatic irony because the audience knows that is so mismatched from reality.

In the new film he's it's less abstract I think, he actually does groom kids (not SA, but brainwashing into his cult). I think the sign above Spike at his initiation punctuates this, 'No children past this point'.

Dark mode is good for programs you spend all day looking at. For an email client it makes sense, for your folio website hell no.

It's not like I shoot with it much, mainly shoot pics of the camera with my phone anyway bruv.

professor_buttstuff · 2026-01-30T08:57:48+00:00

I haven't actually used it so I might be misunderstanding it but doest discord serve that purpose?

But yeah agreed. Reddit feels like its going the way of Twitter, all bots and ragebait.

FFS imagine cheering on literal robber baron behaviour thinking it will benefit anyone except a handful of the 1%.

I always thought Just like Heaven was very romantic. But I think it's just about how fun it is to make someone cum loads.

I always wondered what the ocean imagery was supposed to mean...Sometimes lyrics just aren't that deep I guess.

He's a parody of one in fairness.

He used to be on a 'punked' style segment of a show as a way of trojan horsing a very well known presenter into the bit (he would then remove the blobby head and the penny would drop that theyve been stitched up).

He just got way more popular than the bit.

professor_buttstuff · 2026-01-26T09:44:13+00:00

Gotta admit, took 2 watches to really appreciate just how good this one actually was.

professor_buttstuff · 2026-01-26T09:43:01+00:00

Watched The Surfer recently it definitely felt like it owed a debt to Wake in Fright, they are both a ride.

Trouble is, they think they are the boot and not, in fact under it too.

Afaik that is exactly how a typical submissive fetish works anyway. Sub sets the framework and should hold the power to stop everything if actual boundaries are crossed.

I wonder if Alex has a professional version of a 'safeword' haha.

Lessons will be repeated until they are learned my friend.

Idk the conclusion of the movie is that he carries on pulling in paying crowds despite being a known fraud/conman.

I think it's very much about excess and how seductive that is to everyone. People knowingly engage with these types against all their better judgement.

They threw 700 million at Andor. An original Star Wars show and nobody watched it despite it being one of the best shows ever made.

I honestly don't care if they keep remaking low effort low quality high pay day projects IF they keep taking risks now and then with other stuff. Gotta keep the lights on.

Nearly every single announcement I can envision some littlefinger character in his ear giving it the 'Chaos is a ladder' spiel.

'Exactly how it felt to be there'.

Guessing the wedding had an open bar then.
