the average person with bad taste can be into some extremely banal garbage but when you get close enough to someone with otherwise good taste that they start a recommendation by going off on a preamble about how they don't necessarily recommend it you know you're seconds away from hearing about some real torturously wretched dogshit

friend from work will have you watch a two hour movie where you can feel every second as it passes by, but enemployed movie mutual will put you on the kind of shit that feels like crawling on cobblestone until emaciated

people are reading this as the latter friend recommending dry, pretentious cinema. that's not the case. not that kind of situation. you're getting no enrichment out of this. I need you to understand they're making you watch Gooby because "it's kinda good"

Not to insert myself here but as someone who owns Ghost Rider 1 and 2 on DVD I do actually need everyone to watch it right now because in the second one a kid asks Nick Cage as Ghost Rider how he pees and Nick Cage says “it’s like a flamethrower” and then they hard cut to a CGI skeleton in full black moto leather pissing a jet of fire and then it does a shoulder check at the camera and nods like “hell yeah brother”

Thank you to everyone who has stood by my side throughout this war in Gaza.

something i find pretty comical is when people (primarily moderate socialists, non-ML communists and other vague groups of "leftists") say stuff like "everyone is a bit socialist on the inside!" "it's so easy to make someone a socialist, it's just having empathy" and reduce the "bar" to becoming a socialist to "has been taught that sharing is caring as an infant" which is. so funny. now like im not saying you can't simplify stuff and appeal to less scientific things to introduce someone to communism but this is such blatant "leftism is when good" that, if it works, will inevitably create a vibes-based nondescript leftist at best
