they're doing new episodes of mst3k. and they're showing it in movie theaters

weekly meeting CANCELED

I want to see the odyssey but I don't think it will be as good as o brother where art thou

is gilligan's island the sequel to atoll k

but really. the "plot" chapters are engaging because the looming shipwreck makes the whole thing reek of desperation. but if you actually pay attention to the expositional chapters, you'll see that what's truly desperate is that ishmael dedicated his life to making sense of the senseless tragedy he experienced, only to be forced at the end to acknowledge that moby dick was just a whale, captain ahab was just a person, and everything that happened was completely meaningless

Watching cats (1998) again but pausing every 10 seconds to see what coricopat is up to

film adaptation of moby dick that's a horror movie

There's also a Greek musical which seems quite good but I don't understand any of the words

btw I think that ishmael and fedallah don't share a common language. every line of fedallah's dialogue is pulled directly from ishmael's ass.

Dave Malloy gets major credit for featuring ishmael (the narrator) as the main character, which no other adaptation I'm aware of does, but he loses points for calling the expositional chapters boring when they're 1) actually interesting, and 2) the whole point of the book. Bonus points for playing up ishmael and queequeg's relationship, which film and tv adaptations generally play down. And more bonus points for starbuck crying

He was just quietly pissed off the whole time. And I liked his intense face

the 2011 miniseries was quite bad imo but for some reason they did a good job with flask

all men live enveloped in whale-lines

My headcanon is that after giskard died, daneel borrowed gladia's makeup and smudged the eyeliner on purpose to make it look like he'd been crying
