oh I forgot to make this joke


[gif of homer simpson saying "lousy unitarians" or something]

hehe

I feel like when you first asked me to watch this you specified a reason but I don't remember what it is and I don't feel like going back right now

well, that ruled

jichau noooooooo =(

JESUS CHRIST what was their fucking pyrotechnics budget for this flick

men in black stole this

fellowship of the ring stole this scene

that's so weird, this happened to me once

I was framed but they stayed the execution then I met a high priest of the emperor who started casting an evil spell on me. like one to one that exact same thing happened to me last time I was in chico

edit: and then the evil priest turned into a giant golden statue of the amitabha buddha, yep. weird. exact same thing.

is this why you wanted me to watch this dude?

uh yeah me too. spiritual equilibrium. that's why..

okay I got distracted by naruto fanart for a sec but I'm back to watching it again and holy shit the imperial officer dude is going to fight the demon thing

unrelated to the pause/unpause joke I was just doing, this freeze/unfreeze scene is fucking exquisite

I love this monster, also

*pahs*

I forgot to mention when it happened but I really liked that moment where the magic-knower dude who just completely spanked the entire fake ghost team out of nowhere, hears the other two people's names and suddenly becomes the lower status character, and he's like "oh wow! you're really uh king arthur and oprah winfrey? badass. allow me to introduce myself, I'm han solo."
it's extremely endearing and also you just instantly understand what the dynamic is going to be going forward

*unpoz*

*poss*

the movie is also really pretty to look at

*unpas*

*puase*

this thing where the poem has a different meaning relevant to a new context reminds me something that happened in Ten Earth Shattering Blows. I wonder if that' an older trope that I just haven't had a lot of exposure to for whatever reason? writing something to work that way seems like it would either be really easy or insanely hard

also it's aurally distracting that this woman's name is Susan

*unpaws*

this is pretty delightful so far. it reminds me of conan the barbarian and army of darkness and shakespeare

and that's not some kind of weird joke or passive aggressive dis I really mean that
it makes me think of how old stories were just allowed to be everything. but not like bland flavorless test audience everything, a more purehearted version of everything, free to be farcical when the moment is right, and serious when the moment is right, but not feeling like one part takes away from another or like it's been specifically diced up to perfectly timed beats of mccomedy to maximize dopamine output sorry I have a lot of gripes with the modern hollywood blockbuster pipeline I'll go back to watching the movie now

you are the torchbearer

oh wait

no yeah the sermon on the mount kinda does

jesus talks about criticizing the speck of dust in your brother's eye when you have a log in your own. I mean that's also about hypocrisy but I always took it to be about how you should just focus on trying to actually live virtuously yourself because if you're instead concerning yourself with making other people conform to your idea of righteous living that's actually just being a dick

Quote from: PhantomCatClock on May 01, 2024, 01:12:04 PMdoes the bible say anything against peer pressuring people

I think that'd be very hypocritical of it
