its an inordinately dangerous thing when the people in control of your life believe that suffering is virtuous
notice how every fucking thing they take away from you lately is 'bad for the environment anyway'
they are using their green cult bullshit to erode every facet of life that makes life worth living
covid is just the tip of the iceberg, the trojan horse, etc
the goal is not a safe planet but a planet where they are safe from the people—populism is their enemy, and eroding all of popular life is their way to eradicate it or any future populist uprisings
life is worse by design, from freedoms to entertainment to news to everything. what you are seeing stripped away from you via covid era is literally just an accelerated version of what's already been happening. the physical realm being pleasurable at all is their one big problem
they know they can't win a fair choice, a fair battle, a fair election, etc—so they use their power to make everything you like suck, and they sell this as good to rube liberals by training them to believe that sucky shit is good for them
you had too much to live for for them to enact their soul destroying oppressive bullshit. so they are removing everything you have to live for. you cannot take over a people whose rock and roll is good, movies are good, night life is good, homes are good, schools are good, etc
products have gone to shit. everyone sees the planned obsolescence and cheap alibaba crap everywhere. this is all a war on YOU, the populist, the human. so many sectors are corrupt and working together to make you hate living. deep depression / suicidal tendencies is their goal
the goal is to break our fucking spirit such that we believe that there is nothing that we want that we can achieve or ever have. they want us to not believe in ourselves or that anything is possible save for what they give us for giving over our soul to them

dudes will be all secretive about their 'big movie idea' and then after you pass like 50 security doors of friendship they finally tell you and it's like 'what if bad guy is like fauci'
the virgin 'i gotta keep my ideas to myself' vs the chad 'cody clarke just gave away 100 free horror movie ideas on twitter'
OMG also the worst ever is when someone tells you their 'big idea' and its just adapting some existing property they dont have the rights to and have no way of getting. like their idea is just 'thing exists that i like—maybe someone gives me that?'
there's more than enough art of a given type at any given time to support a mainstream culture comprised entirely of it. a billionaire could convince you we were living in a golden age of rap, rock, jazz, dance, pop, whatever. you are purposely kept from knowing whats out there
when people say 'there's no good rock bands now' what they mean is 'there's no good rock bands being force fed into me right now'. we are being deprived out of spite—the evil music industry is still angry with consumers and artists
the intention is to make all good (and uncontrolled) art be trees falling down in the woods with no one around to hear them. the intention is to kill nirvana before nirvana can even become nirvana. 'rock bands were a mistake' - the industry, basically
for a lot of people covid isnt covid—its mortality. it's not so much a war on covid as it is a war on mortality. this lines up perfectly with the futurist dystopian shit we all know the elites are heading us towards. can't 'die' if you're digital
of course this is all a canard. we see shit disappear digitally left and right all the time. one click and it, or you, is gone. they don't want to create immortality, they want to create god and cast themselves as the lord
'immortality for me and not for thee' pretty much. the ultimate wealth, the ultimate riches. they get to press the button to determine who and what is allowed to live forever. that's the paradigm this is all headed towards—they talk about and research it extensively
What I think is confusing people about DONDA, leading to mixed reviews, is that it's a fucking tome. There's no other way to slice it—it's impossible to slice through this thing entirely overnight. If it ever comes out on CD, the case should weigh as much as an 800-page hardcover
I honestly think the ultimate thesis of DONDA—a complex, long work—could be his recognition that the death of his mother, and love for his mother, looms over every possible thought/opinion he could ever have about anything. That love guides his principles more than religion even
I knew DONDA would make me cry the moment I saw that there would be a song titled 'No Child Left Behind'. I saw exactly what he was doing, taking that Bush-era buzzword-y failed program and reapplying the words to losing your mother. As someone whose mom has passed, I felt it.
Folk film seems temporarily stuck in a rut of navel-gazing as of late. I think it’s because of newer filmmakers being inspired by surface elements of others’ work. I mean this all with zero shade, just an observation. Aim higher and be inspired on a deeper level
If it’s gonna be about nothing, at least make it beautiful.
If the conversations are gonna be natural, at least make them meaningful.
Etc.
I’m saying what others are thinking but not saying 🤷♂️
When you watch something and it’s great and feels natural and like it just sort of came together naturally and easily, realize that youre usually just not able to see the strings. Either it was more work than you think, or the artist put more time in to get to that skill level
Been catching up on shark movies while making my new film NO SHARK 🚫🦈, so here's a thread of shark movies I've watched recently:
1) HOUSE SHARK (2017)
Charming moments, including an impressive and creative underwater sequence! Not all of the film lands (I'd cut a good 40 minutes from it) but I appreciate its overall silliness and uniqueness.
2) RAIDERS OF THE LOST SHARK (2015)
I liked this way more than I thought I would. It's a breezy ~60 minutes without credits, and only a few scenes drag, which is nice. Don't expect anything Indiana Jones—it's that in name only. Loved the scene with the quebecois couple.
