Talk about pandering…

ἐχθρὸς γάρ μοι κεῖνος ὁμῶς ᾿Αΐδαο πύλῃσιν ὅς χ’ ἕτερον μὲν κεύθῃ ἐνὶ φρεσίν, ἄλλο δὲ εἴπῃ*

- Homer, Illiad

I hate like the gates of hell whoever says one thing but hides another in his thoughts.*

Ho-hum. It’s that time of year again...

Remember the Occupy Wall Street movement? For a while corporations were genuinely threatened by angry disenfranchised youth. But corporations are run by smart people. In less than a decade they turned their attackers into defenders using this one simple trick.

There are three things I’ve learned since working in the corporate world.  Never ask a woman her age. Never ask a man, his salary. And never ask multinational corporations what their Middle Eastern logo looks like during pride month.

This doesn’t fool anyone least of of all those who are gay or lesbian.

Indian woman panders to southern black voters in Georgia with new “southern” accent.

Sounds racist.

NEW ART STLE! NN!!!!! Ten Eight Six Twelve

This is a text post i will pin on my tumblr page

New guitar strings

Self - - Medicated - Concept album testing the waters for my midlife crisis. Self-ish based. Out of my late 30s midcrisis 40s Will Wood cover arc this one has the least to do with Wil Wood.

EVERYTHING IS DERIVATIVE - My big midlife crisis project. Hopefully by the time I am 40 I know my way around enough instruments to do smth with this concept. The WHY is still important, so WHY? Growing up. I am in my mid 20s now. I am a widdle baby filled with meth and weed and everything good and bad between heaven and hell. Even with the delayed gratification of a trans queer life experience I already find myself falling out with my heroes over and over. Will Wood has great concepts, sounds, ideas. But he is a sentient Ukulele. It is no question that I could make a better sound without colonial ukulele-mashing and build on the ideas where Will fizzles out. I think that's art. Not the consumption of images of vnovel characters and songs but seeing something you loved more than you loved God, still loving it but seeing how adding yourself into it can make it better.

ET CETERA - ?????

UMINEKO RESPONSE - Deconstruct all tricks that can be utilized within the mystery genre. Do it sexy. Feminist. Anarchist. Kinzo is a standin for how the author views art. I am Ange. No seriously tho. There are limited ways for physics to play out and a limited amount of tricks to bent this space. I need to document every single configuration and taxonomize/quantify them, because I am evil. This will kill the mystery genre, or revitalize it.

HIGURASHI RESPONSE - time loops are fun, lets destroy them.

GENETICS - I will make mice live long and have thumbs.

I lied one more thing

I literally HATE Chappell roan as a person she is an entitled bitch who is incredibly unprofessional not because she snapped at reporters but because she cancelled a show THE DAY OF and didn’t give out refunds

I hate that shes everywhere bc i dont want hear her music bc it so catchy I do not want to be supporting this cunt but i cant stop her earworms from getting in my head

She is not even southern or Appalachian shes from Missouri thats the midwest. Yes its the bible belt but being the Bible belt doesn’t automatically make you southern. Stop appropriating my fucking culture with your pandering ‘country’ song your fucking fiddle and stomp clap thats so fucking persistent in this new wave country that has no real substance and is just about beer and tits and god thats clear fucking pandering jesus FUCK

This turned into a rant about something else and i apologize but both remain true

Ever wished that a trailer DOES lie?

Didn't come up with some clever pun or whatever to express what I want so I'll put it bluntly: Does anyone agree that new Napoleon movie looks kinda lame from the trailers?

Like the first one was like the two types of cliche trailers one after the other - with all the "boom" sounds and mach cuts, while then doing the whole "eq-so-it-sounds-distant childlike song" thing. But what I found worse is turning Napoleon into Thanos (havent seen a Marvel movie after Iron Man 3, so I might be wrong) - but all the stoic cool guy one liners and weird self-agrandising cliche uterances - only to end with putting on the Crown on himself as if it was that stupid plastic gem-gauntlet... Should just have snapped and said "France Won" and go all the way while showing the Austo-Hungary disolve.

The second trailer seems to be more of the same, with even having the Black Sabbat song to make it artsy but not to artsy. Idk maybe I'm being to harsh and hypocritical, but aften then having the love interst say "look down at my crotch - I control you with it" - I just cant take it seriously - gives me flashbacks to being a kid and seeing my dad watch game of thrones and realises that half the charachters are screwing their sister and brothers cause thats the only way to make something "Mature"...

But why am I writting a whinning post? Don't I try to make some contrived point in these? Yeah, at first I didint even want to post this, so I dont be one of these cynical movie guys, feel bad for these who now seemingly in nearly their fifties just whine about how bad hollywood is and how superheros suck while only reviewing them while their is a great new Scorsesse movie which they ignore- And instead of continuing this passive agressive attack on RLM, I better segway into my whole point: "The Killers of the Flower Moon" - A movie I recently saw and enjoyed quite a lot - surprisingly because I thought from the trailers "Yeah, Scorsee got old and is phoning it in" - cause from the trailers it just seemed like a generic by the numbers exploitation film, where victims kill their oppressors with the whole "happy ending" being both overly sweet and bitter - because how unrealistic yet saddistic it would be, even as a fantasy only leaving the reality of resentment and bloody revenge.

But thankfully, it was nothing like that - so the trailer lied, and I was happy - or more happy that even when it lied I thought "well going to the cinema with friends is more important, and why not see a scorsse movie on the big screen, if he dies, or I, soon, I'll regret it, even if it was a piece of shit..."

So maybe that's the point I'm making - maybe a very weird and pointless one - but yeah, maybe Napoleon won't be as bad as I think? Even if it is a far-cry from the Napoleon Kubric would have made, Ridley Scott is still a director with a certain esteem, and who the hell didn't like Gladiator? Even still have an old VHS with a cutot of a tv-magazine of it that my father used to tape over to just pirate the movie old schoo way lol. Still, I'm not saying to mindlessly buy and watch everything - but to just think - maybe even a disapointing movie is worth the human connection one will make (cause who goes to the movies alone?) - so if somebody says "hey lets watch it, its like if the Joker was French" - why not, maybe even it will turn out to be:
