It took a while to find, and it’s not the best quality, but I was able to track down at the very least the opening credit sequence to Goncharov

irreplaceable rant? to the left to the left

My irreplaceable rant is essentially:

When Beyonce wrote Irreplaceable it was like a giant stepping on an ant. Even in 06 she was shaping up to be a Juggernaut. B'Day launched at number 1 I believe? She was blowing up. Well established, producing bop after bop after banger after banger. And We bought Irreplaceable because we, fully, were on board. Beyonce COULD have another you in a minute. The mythos of Beyonce was taking shape. She was Beyonce, you were some guy. To the left.

When she wrote Lemonade it was like. Oh there are stakes now because whether you think Jay Z is great or not or a garbage dude or whatever, he's at least closer to her level than just "some guy".

Like. Of course she could have another you in a minute if you were some dude. But could she have another Jay Z in a minute? No, categorically she could not, and to say otherwise is to tell yourself fun lies because you hate cheaters or men or whatever. I am a firm believer that Beyonce is one of a kind and cannot be replicated in our lifetime as a cultural phenomenon, artist, creator, singer, you name it she is. incredible. But I'm also not going to pretend Jay Z wasn't in some ways just as singularly, powerfully monolithic with popculture just because most of this website understands rap less.

She writes the Sistine Chapel about him because like it or not, she wants to. She looks at him and sees things you could only dream of creating and I for one am just happy to be here, and could care less what you think about Beyonce's specialist boy who is the catalyst of some of the best music I've heard in the past decade, and also someone who MADE some of the best music I've heard in the past 20 years as well.

Beyonce's first solo recording was 03 Bonnie and Clyde, btw. As in, she was a feature on a Jay Z song before even releasing Dangerously in Love. Which. Also prominently has a Jay Z feature. In the lead single. That arguably launched Beyonce's career. Why would she ever write songs about the man who helped her launch her career that she has been married to for 16 years. A damn mystery.

And for the record, if she wanted to make the most beautiful art in the world about literal garbage, so the fuck what. We hate Duchamps The Fountain on this website now? Irving Penn spent years taking extremely detailed, well composed photos... of actual trash. Like Mud Glove. His photos were hanging in the Smithsonian a few years ago. Turns out beautiful art that says something, even something about trash? Still beautiful.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

"Things happen here about... they don't tell about. I see things. You see, they say it's just an old man talking. You laugh at an old man. There's them that laughs and knows better."

i know a guy who always shares with me what feels like The Correct Opinions On Current Media (If You Are An Insufferable Hipster In Brooklyn) ((I Say This With Full Love To All Insufferable Hipsters In Brooklyn, Rest Assured If I Lived In Your City I Would Be One Of You, Which Only Makes Me More Confused And Conflicted On The Matter))

anyway he keeps hyping up Poor Things. i am skeptical. does anyone else have opinions on Poor Things. which is a better use of my time: Poor Things or Jupiter Ascending (which i am told is trash but, like, fun trash)

Anyway I kinda hate how quickly our culture moves on nowadays where media cycles turn over so fast Rachel is officially saying goodbye to a film that only came out three months ago

[cannibalfag]

can you say what else it's about? genuinely interested

i’m not gonna write an essay in this post abt the intricacies of the film. but! ignoring the themes of cultural insensitivity, misogyny, abuse, & catharsis lead to a surface level analysis imo. i think bc ari aster is a horror movie director ppl tend to focus on the horror driven & scary parts of what he creates (cults, etc). to truly piece together every message he set out to deliver you have to look past the devices he uses to get these messages across. calling midsommar a cult movie is like saying hereditary is abt how to be a terrible brother. yk?

ive never really cared about star wars beyond entertaining films with fun fight scenes or really seen how itd be much deeper than that so the fandom on here baffles me a bit but escpecially how universially hated reylo is. like i enjoyed those films and didnt really have much of an opinion on their relationship other than it couldve been interesting and i dont think it really made sense that they kissed it wouldve been better if itd been a bit different but like i really wasnt that invested and like i dont think it was that bad mostly meh wasted opportunity. but like the fandom on here reacts way out of proportion its sort of weird. especially funny since if theyd both been guys it wouldnt have been universally shipped but would definitelly be big on here (like i get the impression it already is in other fandom spaces) and would be one of those controversial ones with loads of discourse but i feel like general consensus would lean way less into it being cringe and more into like unironically thinking its good?

Peter Joseph just released the trailer for the next installment of the Zeitgeist films and it looks incredible!

The biggest crime of the Barbie movie is that it’s fueled a million straight white women to talk about how no one cares about their purchasing power. Their evidence for this is the Barbie movie and Taylor swift, two famously unpopular brands from the past
