I really can’t decide; there’s some built in momentum because OMG MY CHILDHOOD among zoomers and such but it also feels bleak and deflated and is chasing a weary gimmick.

    Yeah, most of it is slop, and I do sometimes gobble the slop. I eat from the trash can like most of us. zizek-theory

    That said, your “who cares” thing was grating to me because clearly enough people cared here to comment otherwise.

      i’ve seen like one movie since the hobbit 1 i think (dune 1, still havent seen 2). i just fell off hard. so i guess that’s where my frustration is coming from. i feel like we’re giving this shit far too much mindshare. even knowing it exists is a bit too much.

      but yeah, i know, it’s pop culture, what are we supposed to do, live on mt athos?
