Blue Saturday

lol i thought i already was

i apologise in advance for the mess tho

Is there a thread where you're not depressed you're just totally fucked but it doesn't matter because you've got nothing to say anyway? Is this it? Hi. I have nothing to say.

this is v much it

hi omino

this is where we badly document a tawdry world with the icing picked off

hi NV

tonight I am going out to break the law and sit miles away from a couple of friends in a freezing garden because everyone feels sorry for me

I will drink and do the brave face

i'm sorry shit is so messy i truly am

friends and drink and that, at least they're worth it

they are and these are my oldest friends actual guys who would do anything for me so

not that they can but they would

not even trying to be a downer tbh

just amazedly celebrating how pretty the scree can be

I finished work early today and watched Patriot Games because I couldn't be arsed changing the channel. Absolute garbage.

Got me thinking though how many films there are where, no matter how big or wide or ambitious the theme or plot is, it often comes down to two guys knocking lumps out of each other at the end.

Like spy films are all really just Rocky 3.

This is probably more of a rejected thread idea than whatever it started being.

Clear and Present Danger is on next, in which Jack Ryan brings down a Colombian drug cartel with a right cross to Ivan Drago's temple.

nah when i'm being mean about superhero movies i reduce it to lads in costumes punching each other

a lot of mean is bullshit but also true but also bullshit

mood is a total thing for movies or music or any art really

I’m watching Reality Bites, which I’ve never seen before. Strange to feel too old watching something I was too young for in the first place. Also, Rock & Roll pt 2 plays for an uncomfortably long time at the start!

one of the most magnificent, sublime, monumental, extraordinary scenes in cinema history

My Sharona!

have never watched or really wanted to watch it even tho the principle cast are all beautiful obv

oh guys the twilight's coming and i can see the near-full moon out of my back window thru the blinds and it's very wabi-sabi, espesh given a Country soundtrack

I still proper fancy Winona

She’s gorgeous in this and I have always thought this (what an uncommon view I know!) “I ride my own melt” made me giggle

Janeane tho

forever

sorry 4 heteronormativity

When she popped up in some so so HBO series a few years back I was thinking wowswers .. she's still got it and more! apologies!

Janeane tho

forever

JJ Abrams is fucking rotten for this - Spock and Khan in the second Star Wars, and also Mission Impossible III - which fair enough you'd expect some of it, but it's between Tom Cruise and Philip Seymour Hoffman!

I keep meaning to rewatch A Scanner Darkly, relevant for presence of Winona and surprising absence of Ethan Hawke (and unsurprising absence of knock-down drag-out fight at the end).

Spock and Khan in the second Star Wars

everybody knows the first rule of big screenwriting is the world hangs on how hard two cis white dudes can punch each other

End of John Wick 1 also particularly pointless example

Rocky IV is the Cold War one, III is mr t and the hulkster

I know - I used Rocky 3 then added Drago for the next Ryan film.

I get it was strained to begin with. Should have gone with Apollo and built up from there.

Yeah don’t start with lang. I had the Rocky game for the master system so I know what I’m talking about

Working on my first
Happy Friday everyone

happy Friday cals

enjoy that first and its brethren

No doubt bro

I am too many beers deep. Working hard to maintain the distance even though I want to hold my friends close.

I love the language of old friends. How we all interrupt and laugh before we get near the end of a story we all know.

Good to feel normal. Tomorrow will hurt but today is good.

Keep it together, stay afloat

Cullercoats and Whitley Bay.

This thread is good.

it is

I've had a really shit day that was an endurance test to say the least and came quite close to committing abh on my garbage neighbour who was shouting violent threats through the wall at my partner, who has bruises on her arm after my son attacked her whilst having a noisy meltdown while I was out for 10 minutes. That kind of shit day. But I do actually quite enjoy life, even the kind of reduced one I currently live and don't really suffer from clinical depression tbh and in some ways I live quite a charmed existence compared to some. But I did shout some violent threats back at the cunt that I will break his legs with my lump hammer if he ever pisses me off again, which is not behaviour that is conducive to a general feeling of happiness tbqh! Just an approximate fuck all of humanity blues is what I'm feeling today. But I do feel much better now.

i'm glad you got it out of your system

here's a long stupid blogpost about whether "Kieth" is a slur

https://www.thesocialreview.co.uk/2020/12/01/call-me-by-your-name-keith/

omg that really is becoming a thing

it's a playground smash

Hope you and the family stay safe from neighbourly threats calz

That stuff would really worry me as I've never really grown out of ESCALATION in those situations

I know it's very hard to be calm and reasoned sometimes, even when you know you should rise above the situation and you are clever enough to know nothing good will come from acting acting as bad as the dickheads you are dealing with.

Counting wasted time this morning. Like I shouldn't regret a minute of GTA in my whole life because I love it but it's a lot of fucking minutes and I think I spent a fair few of them looking for pigeons.

I'm going to count all that I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here time as quality time binding with the children.

Watching Gordon Ramsay bullying bad chefs into worse chefs I need to write off.

So many shite books.

what else is time for but wasting?

Oh I know just kinda wish I was a bit more selective sometimes

You and me both pal

I'm sweating the small stuff again.
Why do I do that?

I have actually fucking big stuff here I should be paying attention to.
