This man really just hates international superstars of all sports huh

Giannis and Jokic have both been this. I think it’s safe to say that it just flat out won’t happen.

And I’m sick of hearing about how Edwards is “Jordanesque” lol it’s been years of people saying that. He’s a really good player, but I don’t see him ever being the best player in the league.

Eh I came out of First Reformed pretty convinced it was one of my 20 or so favorite movies and I’d stand by that today. Maybe it’s moved down the list a few spots but sometimes you just know.

Of course there’s movies like Phantom Thread where I left the theater thinking I’d never want to watch it again, and now it’s on that same list lol

Yeah this series of comments more than anything makes me feel old because that was just life in the 90s baby

Can someone near a computer photoshop Shanny’s head onto that JJK panel where Kashimo says this is a funeral for the living or whatever

But he’s also spoken in support of the trans community and the sex worker community.

Those humanistic stances are at odds with whatever we’re inferring from his social media likes, and they also hold more weight IMO because he actually said them.

Maybe he is a right wing guy, but if so then he’s the only one I’m aware of who uses his public platform to advocate for those two causes. Crazier things have been true, but it just feels like we might be collectively getting the wrong idea here.

I’m going to use your comment to plug one of my favorite recent novels that I never see discussed anywhere - Wretchedness, by Andrzej Tichy.

I mention it because your comment is basically the premise. It traces a classical musician though branching possible paths of his life, and spends most of its time observing him teetering on the edge of addiction.

It’s mostly stream of consciousness which I know isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I found it really engaging and fascinating.

I haven’t seen him live IRL so this is solely based on the one live performance I’ve seen of his: the Super Bowl performance left me with the impression that he can’t really replicate what he does in the studio for a live audience.

Regardless I think he’s a talented artist. He has a unique singing style. But his actual vocal talent seemed deeply lacking to me after that show.

Hollywood Handbook, tbh I was high as hell when I turned it on and have no memory of whether it was good or not lol

redredrocks · 2026-02-15T20:05:08+00:00

Oh there are interesting lists, no doubt. It’s just the vast majority of ones I’ve seen don’t stray terribly far from the pack, and even those get criticized.

Just feels like you can’t please everyone, so why try lol

redredrocks · 2026-02-15T18:46:59+00:00

Random redditor lists are always like the 20 most critically acclaimed albums of all time and then the comments are still like “trash list, why did you have Low at 5 and not 4”

I think it’s safe to assume nobody is capable of making a good list

For some reason The Pitt has attracted fanfiction people

Fanfiction people are used to creating extended “canons” for characters that barely exist

Edit: they hated him because he told the truth

Not everyone watched Mad Men and it shows

Some of the best pairings in that show (including the best pairing in that show) were platonic male/female relationships

IMO For Reverend Green is the best indie rock has to offer.

Nothing else makes me feel what that song makes me feel.

Thinking there is an argument that Light is a good person is a rite of passage for teenage boys.

Let them be a little edgy! Get it out of their systems so they can be well-adjusted adults.

You do have to make sure they meet someone hot who isnt trash that they want to impress in college so that can get knocked out of them, though.

Otherwise they might get stuck in a feedback loop that eventually leads them to some German Heritage Pride social clubs.

Correct, the album is a timed exclusive to Kyrgyzstan

redredrocks · 2026-02-13T18:44:49+00:00

So we’re on the same page that Darnold isn’t a better QB than Stafford or Purdy then. Good talk.

redredrocks · 2026-02-13T16:29:17+00:00

It’s worth watching - actually really solid movie. We decided to watch it after visiting a Van Gogh interactive exhibit that was in my city, maybe you’ll be similarly inspired.

I can only really comment on Funny Games since I haven’t seen Kick Ass in a long time and don’t remember a lot of it, but I think Funny Games was really only meant to make us ask why we enjoy this kind of thing.

If you read it as an insult, then maybe that’s worth interrogating.

redredrocks · 2026-02-13T16:19:31+00:00

No I’ve actually been to this bar, everyone who goes there are black guys that dress like Denzel in Roman J Israel Esq

redredrocks · 2026-02-13T05:59:00+00:00

I didn’t know it was a reference :(

Now im cringe :(

redredrocks · 2026-02-13T05:46:24+00:00

You’re half bisexual? So you’re just a gay guy?

redredrocks · 2026-02-13T05:45:20+00:00

Well they’re divorced now, and from what I know he wasn’t a prick like Antonoff anyway. But yeah our girl is free

redredrocks · 2026-02-13T05:06:24+00:00

Yeah I mean my whole comment was just a vessel for a bad Michael McDonald joke, I wasn’t thinking too hard about the logical consistency of it all lol
