I’ve worked in the games with Movie people. You have to understand that they A) work on a level of company politics that makes the most backstabby game studio look like a kindergarten, B) Have 0% respect for everyone on the narrative side of the games industry (they have a tiny bit of respect for the technical…

It’s really weird. Like that portal thing seemed important.

Was he really iconic? I remember Miranda more. Keys was just a captain in the first game they named Keys cause you eventually had to go rips the ship’s keys out of his mutated head.

I didn’t even know that existed before now, but I just got a copy of the audiobook. Patrick Stewart reading his own was also very entertaining and he actually mentions that he and Blessed became friends at the very first acting school he attended as a boy.

Hopefully we’ll get Greta Gerwig’s take on this soon. The work won’t be done until she’s forced to respond to every on-record slight against her film.

I’m going to compile my group chat psychic-damage induced shrieking into a paper and publish after I finish rewatching the Blomkamp Halo commercials and dreaming of what could have been

Maybe he was thinking of Klaus Barbie, The Butcher of Lyon.

Well, yes, of course, but you’re supposed to respond with, “Oh, not in Hamburg, no, it’s a Bavarian expression”

Everytime I think I’ve seen the most Herzogian statement, he breaks his own record. I will never tire of this man

The parodies never really manage to capture a fraction of his wit and weirdness. At least we’re spared someone totally fucking up the accent here

I keep telling you, Pierce is 81 years old and he’s dead

Saying he described the movie as “sheer hell” is disingenuous clickbait bullshit, and you would know better if you listened carefully. He was clearly describing the world of Barbie and the audience’s ability to experience it, not describing the quality of the film.

I would like to see an article deep dive into all of the narrative differences between season 1 and 2. I heard that there is a new director, and from the very first scene you can see they are trying to steer the show in a new direction. They have tried to smooth out many of the bumpy changes, but sometimes they don’t…

“And though something deep inside of me wishes to revolt against it...this is how I’d like to remember Barbie...on the battlefield of life itself”.

With a hypnotic psychedelic soundtrack provided by Popol Vuh.

it’s not clear to us whether Herzog is offering a qualitative assessment of Gerwig’s movie, or genuinely speaking to its neon pink depiction of Barbieland, a world in which ostensibly happy “people” play out basic routines with no capacity for understanding any of the ennui or despair clawing at the edges of…

The cast was also often allowed to improv so it’s really not done until it’s done 

I didn’t get a Community notification for this??

It’s Dan Harmon working on a Community thing. The script won’t be “finished” until the thing’s shot and premiering. He and his writers room created some of the tightest episodes in sitcom history, but it’s a miracle that any of them were ever actually filmed, considering.
