seeing this image in 2026 is like seeing an old friend who I've dearly missed

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”

absolutely hate when you see a post criticizing a trend of harmful behavior that spans many axes of marginalization and there's people in the notes like "everyone gets this about race but not about x" shut up shut up shut UP. i absolutely guarantee you whatever it is people are being violently racist to Black and indigenous people about that very thing. i am so so tired of tumblr users "i don't even see race" attitude toward Everything. shut up.
