I love Lynch and I love his willingness to admit now that shooting a feature film on DV was a stupid fucking idea. I think Inland Empire is a phenomenal movie, but christ, is it ugly.

The inevitable outcome of depriving the actual human majority masses their rights to affect the system through voting, will be that we use mob justice. First electronically, then with blood. C’est la vie.

You know, there are times where things feel so hopeless, i.e., Man, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many elections are won, the corporations will just find ways around it—especially with the Supreme Court gladly lickin’ private-sector boots.

“Nothing is scarier to a business than organized labor,”

Waitwaitwait... so the argument here is that having GG doing vocals is... somehow... not making the song even better? Is there anything that Gottfried’s dulcet tones don’t improve? I’d listen to him cover anything! Highway 61 Revisited, Born to Run, The Joshua Tree, Black on Both Sides, the Family Ties theme song...

This really belies how at war with itself this weird ass movie is. It takes turns trying to BE the first movie and ashamedly running from it, trying to please MK9 through 11 fans and running from THEM, and trying to please people who want to hear that one song and then running away from THAT. It has one of the better…

Did he get held on up “Johnny” and then spell it out? Amazing.

No, you don’t ground it, you lean into the crazy. The franchise needs a James Gunn-esque director to tackle the movie.

I started the movie over lunch. Laughed out loud within minutes when the one guy’s wife is in the garden and they do a dramatic zoom on her working the dirt with what I recognize will be Scorpion’s harpoon.

I was hoping for something other than Fighting For The Fate Of The World™.

Also the music, some of us want that 1995 theme song... Unedited.

Yea... I hate to say it, but the first movie actually had a better story.

Why won’t people accept that the original MK was the peak of fighting game movies and a classic on the same level as Top Gun, The Godfather, and Weekend At Bernie’s?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Serves ‘em right.

A few months back there was a story about how a bunch of scalpers were getting robbed. The scalpers would post the console online, a buyer would request to pay and pick it up in person, and then they’d rob the scalper when they arrived.

That’s a bit extreme and I wouldn’t want anyone to go to jail.

I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but if I need a quick pick-me-up this week, I’m picturing Fahey punching a scalper in the nose and speeding away on his wheelchair. I feel better already.

Those people can go straight to hell. Scalpers are absolute scumbags. I got super lucky getting a ps5 pretty recently.
