[bangs my walnut dresser with the metal fin of my electric heater] omg this is just like the goldfinch...

also the moment mando came on screen helmeted and shooting ppl i had a sudden moment of realization that this is what i wanted live action murderbot to be 😭😭 too bad.

also every time rada the hutt came on screen i was losing it he looked like an everything is crab max strength/size/slither/scales build but spoke the most cliche voice of reason character archetype lines. the discrepancy rly got me. anyways i def feel like star wars is better (when u don't watch it for years and) when it doesn't take itself too seriously. so many stupid moments just had me rolling. what a stupid movie to its core. it was great

just saw mandalorian and grogu in theatres. yeah it was slop but still fun, like 7/10. u could definitely tell it was 5 episodes of the mandalorian stitched together though. like i could actually mark the distinct start/end of each intended episode. especially when that scene of him exploring the new ship went from "i didn't accept the job yet..." to him immediately flying off for the main mission lmao. also i swear every action shot of a lizard was ai generated. def had that weird bouncy pixar feel to them that i rly disliked.

was walking in the woods at dusk alone when the sky was filled with the rumble of an unseen low flying plane overhead. instantly made me feel like i was being hunted after escaping the capitol and a metal claw was abt to come down and pierce my body.

crazy how google lens is consistently getting worse over the years. actually google maps too. u would think the insane amount of resources spent training neural networks on all the data available in the entire internet would help but turns out quantity doesn't equal quality. who would've guessed! i distinctly remember a golden age of maybe several months or even a year in which both functioned better than normal, maybe 8 years ago now. then downhill forever

sleepingtalked too close to waking and i finally realized something. in dreams when my face becomes partially paralyzed and i lose the ability to use my voice and am forced to whisper while lisping half my words, it's directly caused by pressing my face into the pillow until half of it becomes numb.

idk why i'm still ticked off at the menu months later but it completely missed the mark with having a genuine discussion abt contemporary art (which is what fine dining is to me) when it stated its own thesis out loud that "food should be abt love and feeding others." i dislike when the response to abstract or conceptual art is just obfuscation = dishonesty or lack of sincerity. this is also my problem with bluebeard by vonnegut actually. yes abstraction is inherently an act of symbolization. but it does not necessarily create distance from "true" meaning or authentic feeling. those lame ass high class clout chasers did not take his art seriously from the beginning while the evil guy was explicitly criticized for taking it too seriously. both responses are interesting.

not gonna lie as long as darja keeps getting insanely high scores for mediocre artistry and the ugliest raffaeli pivot i've ever seen i just can't watch rg anymore it just raises my blood pressure too much. bro her 31.0 clubs routine has ZERO dynamic changes and ZERO effects and honestly, i only counted 3 parts with character (the section at the beginning and the dance steps). why does she have the highest artistry score. it's unfathomable
