Not long now before A24 does a movie on 'That motherf*cker is not real' viral lady. It could go two ways; starts with the clip & the camera slowly pans to the back of the film with a slow zoom; you watch a whole film & in the last 5 min it leads up the viral clip as conclusion

I hope this will be good though I am still upset they cancelled David Gordon Green's trilogy, unpopular opinion I know, but I liked The Exorcist: Believer
First teaser for Mike Flanagan's ‘THE EXORCIST: MARTYRS’, starring Scarlett Johansson. The film follows a detective who watches a serial killer's execution - only for his murder spree to continue in demonic ways. Trailer releases on Friday.

more interesting, Jesu, Justin K Broadrick's 'shoegaze metal project' plays guitar on Phoebe's song 'Bobby' which is about Bo Burnham. This directly connects prolific musical pioneer JK Broadrick (Napalm Death, Godflesh, Jesu) to Bo Burnham. Napalm Death, Godflesh, & Bo Burnham.
bo burnham gifted phoebe bridgers elliott smith’s old guitar 🥲

Jesu is also one of the greatest musical projects ever, btw. It's basically pop punk with low tuned guitars

New Baudrillardianism just dropped. Media will sell you your conspiracy as a way of emptying it & replacing it with hydrogenated chicken. (benign viral marketing campaign designed to appear occult for the purpose of being spread by eyeswideshut cabal conspiracy theorists types).
KFC'S NEWEST COMMERCIAL IS VERY DISTURBING! THERE IS ALWAYS TRUTH IN PLAIN SIGHT! 😳

it's not a question of whether there are or aren't cannibalistic elites who hide occult messaging in plain sight, its more of a question of how often do they do that in a way that is not attached to any agenda at all, just a way to make more money preying on our fears.

this is a very Hegelian statement that communists should agree with, actually
JUST IN: Trump declares communism has been a disaster for “thousands of years”

* zizek voice * You see, it is the inconsistencies of language that reveal to us the true wish, the very denial of its fulfillment; that even when one speaks as clearly as one can about one's desire, one has still said merely what one precisely does not wish for. Freud wrote in..
The main issue with Obsession is the same one with nearly all “be careful what you wish for” moral tales, which is that it’s not actually what you wish for that’s at fault, but merely the fact that you didn’t hire a lawyer to draft the wording of that wish.

tv/film from last few decades I think captured 'myth' better than the recent odyssey; 1: Raised by Wolves (Ridley Scott); 2: Only God Forgives / Valhalla Rising (Nicholas Winding Refn); 3; Mandy (Panos Cosmatos)

Nolan's Odysessy kinda sets up the moral message of his previous film, Oppenheimer; both contain a kind of pandoras box / irreversible paradigm shift to global politics message. 'Oh god what have we done' type stuff. Both are Western canon, along with Batman of course.

I can do whatever I want, mister. I'll pay money and spend 3 hours in imax and hate every second of it. Nietzsche writes that one must be a large body of water to take on a polluted stream. The last man runs from discomfort, challenge. Not I, I watch the film I am the ubermensch
I say this with sadness, not anger: If you bought a ticket for the Odyssey this weekend, you have surrendered the right to complain about Hollywood ruining movies. Your words & actions are not in alignment. You cannot lead others, because you can’t even follow yourself.

authorial intent isn't meaning. Many things are accidental, incidental, or spurious (in the Darwinian sense) yet appear symbolic or representational. That does not make them 'mean' less. In fact, something being intentionally symbolic may even be cheaper and less authentic.
EVANGELION NUNCA FUE TAN PROFUNDO Hideaki Anno, el legendario creador de "Neon Genesis Evangelion", rompió la ilusión de millones de fanáticos al revelar la verdad sobre los misterios de su franquicia. El director admitió que los famosos símbolos religiosos de la serie no esconden ningún significado: fueron colocados simplemente porque se veían interesantes y hacían que la obra pareciera distinta. Durante 30 años, los fans construyeron teorías infinitas sobre cruces, ángeles y cábala — buscando un mensaje oculto que, según su propio creador, nunca existió. Vivimos 30 años engañados.

meaning happens a creator inserts a symbol to simulate depth of world or profundity (there is one level of meaning) which is detected by people who are looking for or experiencing profundity and then create their own reference points about a bit of media.

I didn't think Nolan's Odyssey was that bad, I thought it was actually kinda good. I stand by the idea that Refn and Scott might be better with myth, however.
I'll be seeing Nolan's Odyssey. It'll be bad, not for the right wing reasons, more because Nolan does not understand the form, function, and practice of myth. Nicholas Winding Refn or Ridley Scott (despite his iffy track record) could do it, they understands myth.
