Things You Just Don't Care About

MURDER

scams/scammers

snowplow parents

true crime. prefer fake crime

I like fake murder and true fraud

dead fuckin' McCain, his "heroism" and his idiot daughter

you don't have to care abt dead John McCain to object to these psychotic rants about him

not sure that I do

the ranter's lunacy is long established

I object to the lunacy emenating from that office

but i know where you stand on the office

Don Corleone's study

Among the myriad stupid tweet storms that Trump has started, this one is at the bottom because it inspires the Beltway punditocracy into its most repulsive sycophancy and necrophilia but not, say, the Supreme Court's decision yesterday.

I want McCain's legacy and reputation sullied.

xps yeah w only Sonny locked inside

idgaf about john mccain, I do think we are seeing on a daily basis the real-world consequences of this shit discourse tho

box office records

ya

i'm just glad the mueller updates cru is back in its element

it's reported on BBC WS in a chirrupy happy Goebbels style, like you are expected to take news of box office receipts of yet more abject hollywood garbage as a victory for humanity. The sooner Xi takes over the world, the better for me.

it's like celebrating CO2 ppm

don't really understand the apparent universal love for a film like Avengers: Endgame

im in the thread now come in and trash it with me

otm why doesn’t everyone just watch criterion collection things

lol

not posting this as a comment about ilx discourse but I thought it was funny

so the major corporation that's eating the rest of the entertainment industry alive made $1.2 billion at the box office this weekend and you're celebrating it as a personal validation of your fandom. pic.twitter.com/P8cbhzxBrk

is this avengers movie, like, the last one? until the next reboot, i mean

spoiler to say rly

We don't care about spoilers itt.

ha ha!

I still don't really know what ISIS is and I don't think I care.

mystical child iirc

It's the same thing as ISIL, except when it's Daesh, or sometimes The New Caliphate.

Imagine being an adult with a strong opinion on a Sonic the Hedgehog movie

You know what, I take that back, having now seen some images from it this movie looks like a hellish nightmare about which I now have opinions

i'm not even sure kids are the target audience for a sonic the hedgehog movie, maybe they would have been in 1994 but we live in a very weird world now

All superhero movies

That belongs to a "things I need to stop getting irrationally angry about" thread for me. But I don't want to hear about box office receipts or what ppl who should be reporting real news think about this abject dross, it feels like getting locked in a leaky portaloo with Kermode type torture when you get exposed to it in places that should be safe spaces.

yep

the whole thing around the Marvel series (in particular, but really any huge franchise) of too much caring and too much coverage makes me not want to care

- pre movie hype starting with end credits of last movie
- pre movie hot takes on how this is the death of cinema, again
- millions of online spoilers on day 1
- box office smash numbers
- hot takes on how the box office smash numbers are actually the worst thing and the death of cinema
- even hotter takes on how the movie and the box office says x about diversity/the patriarchy/the military industrial complex/21st century fascism/how adults are really children it wasn't like that when we watched Gary Cooper and John Wayne

Also while I'm here if everyone could shut the fuck up about Game of Thrones that would be great.

Game of Thrones almost not worth mentioning itt by now.

All superhero movies

I just don't care about superhero movies either, but Calz otm: I've had to listen to 5 separate news reports in 24 hours about this dreck, on what is supposed to be serious news radio.

I have been waiting at least a decade, perhaps two for this cultural moment to be over, but afaict this is it now, superhero movies forever, something I will never have the slightest interest in.

Just to be perhaps trenchant here, I still love pop music, feel some of it has more ideas than almost any rock music, and also love "difficult" music of various sorts, things I need to put in work to appreciate, and these work surprisingly well together. BUT with other art forms, films especially, it seems like "difficult" has been pushed to the margins over the last couple of decades, I cannot seem to find that crossover which I still can in music.

I think the major difference is w/ music or whatever there is no bottleneck on the consumer end

these fucking stupid movies on any given night (btw standard, 3D, Real3D, ACTUAL 3D or whatever he fuck) are taking up 40-50% of the screens

in yr avg multiplex obv^

yeah that's the problem, I think the combo of Game of Thrones + Avengers stuff clogging the internet on Monday was instructive, because as little as I care about GOT, it's just a TV show, not taking up extra space. the superhero movies are w/e but they happen ALL FUCKING YEAR now

we could wait for people (all over the world, it seems) between 25 and 45 to grow the fuck up, but that's clearly a fool's errand

otoh i also don't care who the frontrunner is 18 months before the goddamn election

even worse, increasingly you hear any criticism of the superhero movies - whether it's the movies itself, their popularity, the space they take up - shot down with variations on "stop raining on peoples' parade / don't criticize something everyone clearly enjoys"
fuck
off!

I just found out that all the people talking about Thanos are not talking about Elizabeth Holmes' scam company.

the band that did the ska song on the stepbrothers soundtrack has a new album out
