Thank you, I almost had a heart attack when he said that! I hate blueberries and always give them to my dog when I buy mixed fruit platters.

2024-12-06 23:35:28 +0000 UTCI actually did like Asteroid City. I was taken in by the exploration of a collection of people all trying to fulfill the role they've been given but being unable or unwilling to admit that they don't actually know how. They're all stuck with only knowledge that they're supposed to be doing it, either for their own benefit or someone else's. I was particularly affected by the central character of an actor trying desperately to understand his literal role in the play. The final role written by his lover before his passing. He needs to know that he's doing it right. He needs to know that he's connecting with his love and grief in the right way. The character, in both his role as an actor and the character within the play, is avoiding his grief. He is denying himself his own feelings of helplessness and despair so that he doesn't have to process them. If he simply doesn't feel them, then he doesn't have to deal with them. "You can't wake up if you don't fall asleep."

2024-01-04 06:55:30 +0000 UTClooking forward to you guys talking about The Master! I also just rewatched it, and then by coincidence listened to the behind the bastards episodes on L Ron Hubbard - which also by coincidence you guys were guests on lmao - the main thing i forgot about the movie is how much absolutely vile shit Joaquin Phoenix drinks throughout the movie, which reminds me of listening to ppl in AA talk about their histories haha
