Glup Shitto will return in Avatar Bluer People

I would like to issue a public apology for saying Timecop1983's music is "hit or miss" cause I saw him and Josh live on Saturday and it is easily the best concert I've ever been to. I went for the opening acts and by the end of the night I was blasting TC's music in the car the whole way home.

TC83's work has always been pretty hit or miss for me but when it hits it REALLY fuckin hits. Been on repeat for the last couple days

Really can't stand how Ariel Pink genuinely has some of the most beautiful sounding synth songs ever made and then had to go ruin his legacy by being at Jan 6th. There was a time where him being as productive as he's been the past couple years would've excited me but all that shit is tainted for me now :(

Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun makes me so nostalgic, both the song and the album. Highly recommend if you're into MGMT or Merriweather era Animal Collective

[biggrump]

This technically counts. I told you I was gonna do it >:)

And of course it's a banger. I'd expect nothing less from them

The Midnight really out here dropping one of the prettiest sounding synth beats I've listened to and then being like "sorry gamers you have to wait a week until you can listen to the whole thing" nuh uh bro you can't make me wait I'm gonna hear it before you want me to whether you like it or not

Batgrump & Yorobin Return

Just uploaded a ton of old Twitch vods onto my second channel. This was from when I played through one of my childhood classic games, Lego Batman 1, with my friend Yoran (yoran_the_moron on Twitch) a while back. Uploading due to the Twitch's 100 hour limit on highlights

Goddamit the Fantastic Four trailer actually looks good now I'm gonna have to watch it (unless they show RDJ Doom in the next trailer and it sucks)

Extremely nervous about the fact that they're not showing Galactus' face in the trailer. I worry they'll go the same route as MODOK in Ant-Man. Hopefully it's a voice only role and Ralph Ineson will really get to shine but that's wishful thinking

Finally finished House of Leaves yesterday. Kinda goes honestly. Struggle with wanting to re-read at some point because of the rambly parts of The Navidson Record but the horror concepts and descent into madness are goated

Grump's Best of 2024

Forgot to post my year end Letterboxd recap here.

Didn't watch quite as many new movies as last year but still pleased with this number

[biggrump]

Just so you know you can't praise Andor for doing something different within the Star Wars universe without also praising Last Jedi.

I don't make the rules :)

Andor is great btw lol

"The Bride" not having a name outside of her relation to a man she wants nothing to do with. Her body being constantly objectified and sexualized before she was even conceived. Her face, her torso, even each of her individual, rotting limbs being carefully selected to fit the sexual preferences of an absolute stranger. Her skull being beaten in and manhandled during a man's jealous outburst, her head rolling to the ground like an inanimate object. The story of Marilyn Monroe's body. The way women cannot rest even in death.

The constant expectation of who The Bride will be before she even is. The way patriarchal societies buy pink onesies and Barbie cribs and headbands with bows before a baby is even born. The stain of forever being "just" a woman. The way this mirrors Eric's flowers, the way he love-bombs her and lays ownership to her before she's even developed consciousness.

The way Eric insists that his bride doesn't need to develop basic language skills or even a rudimentary understanding of the world around her, because her education doesn't directly benefit him. The way he was created to usher in a new era of scientific discovery for mankind, while she was created only to please him. The Biblical story of Eve being carved from Adam's rib. The way organized religion trains women to believe that their only use lies in being obedient and subservient to the men around them.

The Bride being continuously punished for her sexual awakening, for any exercise of her own autonomy or free will. The way the only “love” she has ever known was brutally murdered because she refused to cater to the expectations of the men around her, because she denied the title that was thrust upon her at birth. The way that men have always done this to women— labeling us as "jezebels" or "harlots" or "whores" or "bitches" or "sluts" for refusing to fall into a role we never consented to performing.

And, of course, the fact that Eric continues to feel entitled to her body even after she tells him no in every conceivable way. "Why won't she let me touch her?!" The parallels between his behavior and that of so many incels who believe that women exist solely to serve their purposes. "She is to love me!" The way that, after losing her, he spends his time partying on yachts with models and playgirls, because that's all women are to him... just pretty objects. The way he bastardizes the word "love" because he's never taken the time to know or love her, not really.

The inherent trauma of her birth and nature— the way the horrorshow of her creation reflects the unspoken horror of every woman's creation. "She is but a cluster of fear and not knowing."

Ohhhhh Mary Shelley I fear you would love this show...
