I have this same conversation often about Chinese cinema - it's really one of those things where there's plenty of great stuff out there, which is overshadowed by all the aggressive advertisement for low effort, high turn-around schlock.

Recently got into I Think You Should Leave on a friend's recommendation - which is right up my alley as dumb stupid fun.

fastfood joint forgot the ' on "we're hiring", I'm just like... so what, the masquerade has been broken oh noyou only hire on full moons, how's this work exactly

... anyway, it wasn't much but it was a chuckle

It's actually not the front that's hiring, they need more people in distribution. Specifically, they need more workers for their werehouses.


Yes I know that's not how it's spelled, but we all make sacrifices for comedy

[King Zultan]

Gotta be careful when working in a werehouse as you don't want to be inside when it changes back.

[hector13]

I’m pretty sure the “were-“ part means man, so how does one become a werehouse?

I fell into the wall yesterday and proceeded to bounce off it and graze my knuckles on the other side of the narrow hallway, should I be worried?

[bloop_bleep]

Don't bother messaging him guys. He's already turned now. And new ones don't grow their WiFi yet.

[hector13]

I don’t think there is anything to worry about, fellow human! My host- I mean, I am perfectly well, and have no problems with growing WiFi… because that is not a human thing to worry about, of course!

Now, can I interest anyone in cake next to my gravel driveway? … anyone at all?

That sound when a cat with zoomies and a slippy-ish floor interact, where a pattapattapatta noise goes through the house followed by a distinct *thump*.

Keep remembering Northernlion's Let's Play of Beyond: Two Souls

Peak egg, the bit that makes me laugh most is coming across a tyre with a load of knives in it and him saying "Ah, I see you found the ol' suicide tyre!"

MF DOOM finds slenderman in his house

[delphonso]

This was also in my recommends recently. Sensible chuckle for sure.

[Loud Whispers]

the flow just right

[Frumple]

man, rip mf doom

... still haven't gotten around to actually listening to any of their stuff, but the fellow was a legend.

[delphonso]

To experience it all again...a true dream. Born Like This is a great starting album, but his quality is pretty good across the board.

Technically yesterday, but... Barbie.

I went in to the movie cautiously optimistic for it to be a brain-dead, silly romp with a bunch of nonsense around everyone being called Barbie or Ken.

I was absolutely not expecting the emotional absurdist tour-de-force that caught me off-guard at every turn and pulled near-constant cackles out of me, interspersed with eye-moistening feelings it had absolutely no business eliciting. Nor was I expecting the references to 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Matrix, or Pink Floyd: The Wall.

Completely blew all expectations out of the water. Sure, part of that is probably the wine talking, but still.


Additionally... I feel like anyone saying that it was a one-sided misandrist man-bashing fest wasn't paying attention... It portrays a surprising number of male issues I really wasn't expecting to see legitimized in a Barbie film of all places. Very impressed all around. Film's a lot better and more intelligent than it has any right to be.
