Eric Andre I'll give them (don't know anything about 555), but are Bojack Horseman or Rick and Morty really much more surreal than the average adult animated sitcom? This really seems forced tbh

Rick & Morty has its surreal moments like interdimensional cable episodes.

They're making a homestuck cartoon

i cant believe raf simons was ever popular and his clothes resold for tens of thousands of dollars lmao, raf put direct references to the things he liked onto his clothes because he wasn't skilled / smart / talented enough to do otherwise unlike other designers who understand how to transform those references into something new

raf likes new order so what does he do? he makes a jacket in the style that was popular in manchester at the time (fishtail parka) and then literally puts a new order graphic onto it. there's nothing new or unique about this jacket. he literally just found a vintage one and copied it, then printed a graphic on it. the only reason it's a "raf simons" fish tail parka is because he wrote his name on the inside of it. no real design work or transformation has taken place. his referencing is extremely direct

i wish normalfags would stop copying the looks from boring gay men instead of the Cool queers

It is, for the most part.
But life isn't always to be taken seriously and pro-wrestling teaches us that.
American pro-wrestling is dog shit though. Only the Japanese stuff is worth checking out and even then right now it's only the women's side that has anything interesting going on.

>>45718
As for wrestling and promotions, the best name in the game right now is Stardom, a Japanese Women's wrestling company.

It's still silly and fake but a lot of it is much better than the slop done in the US.

I love these titles

We just put out our first volume of the Gaslight Chronicles, our pulp horror imprint.

5 stories out of the 8 are user submissions and we've already got a couple of stories for the next volume. Pulp fiction has always been proletariat fiction. It's pretty cool to have published a whole fucking tome of horror stories. It's a dope addition to the left's cultural footprint and hopefully can provide some level of revenue so we can actually build and grow this magazine into a piece of fucking infrastructure.

HOUDINI isn't the DSA, we don't want you writing a letter to your senator, we want you writing about the horrors around you. That story might just become a product, and those funds might just fund the revolution.

Paperback soon.

Film Review: James Gunn’s Superman Cements Israel’s Villain Status in the American Imagination

any fans of Michael Mann around here?

Avatar 3 trailer dropped. Appears Cameron will be introducing hotter Navi kinds with each installment.

Yesterday I watched 2 movies, one being Y tu mamá también, about a woman going on a roadtrip with two horny petty bourgeois teenagers because she discovered that she will soon be dead from cancer. Of course this is a kind of a "coming of age" story where the woman has sex with both of the teenagers and teaches them to manage their emotions, but what makes this movie so special is that it contrasts the abject poverty of many Mexicans with the petty bourgeois life of the 3 main characters.
It's not like they saw poverty and instantly became class traitors though. The end has the two teenagers "straightening out" and going to university like their parents wanted them to, which I think is more interesting.

The other movie I watched was A Boy and His Dog since I had heard about it inspiring Fallout. I can definitely see its gritty and wacky elements going on to inspire Fallout, although I will say that Fallout 1-2 have a decidedly less negative attitude about ""human nature""

based OP, fuck the travel-normies

test

At this point in my life I would only travel to get my dick wet. I'm too afraid to do it but it seems like the only reason for me to travel

>>44630
I've never actually read up on any of this but my gut feeling has always been similar, that the institution of modern tourism (at least in America, and especially as exemplified by the stereotypical midcentury American suburbanite vacation) grew out of aping the British gentry's Grand Tour tradition the same way modern suburban lawns grew out of aping the gentry's manorial landscaping. It's all just degenerated emulation of the aristocracy.

If I recall correctly from some Graeber article or book I read once, there are artifacts in the north American northern coast that are from south/central America. Like some guy went all the way up the California coast, traded some beads, probably got drunk and hung out with people, and then went back home with the shit he traded them. 'Travel' is the human urge to explore and be exposed to new stimuli.

I just got back from my first trip to Europe. I went to Switzerland. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Every place I visited looked like a fucking bob ross painting. Taking pictures there was basically cheating. The people were kind. The quality of everything I ate was better than anything I've eaten state side. I spoke languages other than English and Spanish unironically. The weather was perfect. They used the metric system and had round abouts with no traffic. I saw a cop ONCE helping someone after an accident. They all vote directly on issues effecting their community by mail. The trains and busses were pristine. The airport had smoking sections. I feel my ego shattered, my life has been a lie, and I live in an absolute shithole fascist third world desert. I fucking hate it here even more than I used to. Travel has opened my eyes. The places I used to dream of escaping to are shitholes in comparison to Switzerland. I've spent years trying to fix where I live, and this city has done nothing but steal my youth. Its dirty, everyone is so loud and stupid and monolingual. Who the fuck would build a city in a desert (oh wait cotton grows good here, durrhurr slave owners!). How can people have pride in this capitalist nightmare. I have left the cave and I just want to go back. OP was right, travel sucks, just like heroin sucks.

Maybe try reading Michael Moorcock. I heard Elric of Melnibone was a fun riff on Conan and fantasy tropes in general.

That's not really an American accent. That's what I call a thespian accent. ChatGPT is calling it "Theatrical Mid-Atlantic" and that's also coming when I search for thespian accent(which I guess I'm inventing as a term)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_American_Speech
>Good American Speech, a Mid-Atlantic accent,[1][2][3] or a Transatlantic accent[4][5][6] is a consciously learned accent of English that was promoted in certain American courses on acting, voice, and elocution from the early to mid-20th century.

I know what a Mid-Atlantic accent is in reference to old movies, but to me, the "thespian accent" which is what the Americans who were trained on Shakespeare like, James Earl Jones and Denzel Washington. But James Earl Jones really leans into it more than Washington. Washington usually does more natural voice roles, where as James Earl Jones usually does these very Shakespearian type roles. Although he does stuff in modern vernacular and someone made a really funny edit of his voice from those kind of roles with Darth Vader.

I think modern British accents would also most likely sound goofy in fantasy too. Imagine a medeival fantasy with people that sound like this.

I thought the Mid-Atlantic thing was a myth.

That video is long as hell and it seems he's debunking some kind of premise put forward in some other videos that it was forced by Hollywood or something. If you to 8 minutes, "on stage and in public speaking" he says exactly what I was saying, that if you were taught in classical acting, meaning Shakespeare, you would learn to do some kind of learned Britishy accent/diction.

uh no
