Don't tell anyone, but I've never actually seen it. I've just absorbed the plot fron popular culture.

I'm telling everyone, I just posted it on Daily Mail

The anime was better

Yeah I liked it, it is a very good satire and the director is a very talented woman.

However, the amount of people who idolize Patrick Bateman, in a non-ironic way, scare me. Even before the movie's creation, people thought the book was glorifying violence. The director also struggled to find an actor that understood the source material, she landed on Christian Bale because he was the only one that didn't try to make Bateman out to be a suave, sexy killer.

I shouldn't be posting on this website, but I can at least give my perspective. It's his workout routine for me and the amenities in his apartment that he can use. To be in the best physical shape of your life, to be physically capable, is what I fantasize about. Part of that ties to Christian Bale and his dedication to changing his body for his role. I also believe that there is a glimpse of someone who honestly laments the superficiality of the world, the resigned "But inside doesn't matter", the frustration at not being able to get out of this fake artificial hell he feels compelled to belong to. Despite being ready to kill both Jean and Luis on two separate occasions, he cannot bring himself to do it because they express love towards him. There is something resembling humanity deep within him, something that wants to believe there is more. There is also a slightly poignant scene with Courtney, Luis' fiancee, in the book where she confirms her intention to marry him and he accepts it, though just what does and doesn't happen is ambiguous.

That being said, he is 99.9% a vacuous monster pretending to be what passes for human among his social circle, and eternal misery is what he deserves. He is fundamentally amoral and the book shows he's been this way since at least childhood. There were numerous points where I had to put it down when I read it 13 years ago because the violence was just too graphic. The scene with the large rat and the cream cheese and the tube and the woman and the chainsaw will unfortunately stay with me for a long time. I do enjoy the movie for being a relatively abridged, more palatable experience that is a bit more cheeky with the satire.

More recently, cheesy uplifting stuff where everyone does their best.
The Make It!! reprise in season 3 of pripara comes to mind

One of the greatest OVAs ever.

What anime is this?

cowboy bebop

The english dub of this show is better than the english sub. It doesn't follow the japanese dub at all and almost feels like an abridged series.

Yes. It's pretty good if you like eating glass. The glass gets sharper every day

It's a lot of suffering ahead and not really worth reading if your just in it for gay rock stuff. It's VERY worth it if you're into the buddhist themes and religious symbolism though.

Season 1 implies a story upon which the manga very much does not deliver. I'd say read it and try to enjoy the ride.

Everyone treats the internet as a money making scheme. You got AI generated slop on Facebook. You got grifters on X. You have wannabe influencers on instagram. You have parasocial relationship parasites on YouTube and Twitch. YouTube videos are so shit now. 50 minute drivel of some interesting unique fact no one cares about regurgitated through an AI script plagiarized from Wikipedia with mini ads peppered throughout and a video sponsor scam like Betterhelp.
The internet went to crap once iPhones and iPod touch screens enabled users to access it anywhere anytime in the late 2000s. Now everyone states brain dead at their screens consuming whatever slop is on their algorithm driven feeds which btw alter the way you think (look up social cooling).
No wonder why everyone’s miserable, we’re getting conditioned into becoming a hive mind with the media we surround ourselves with. And the media is dictated by algorithms. Most are too stupid to adjust their algorithm and just cave into whatever brainwashing thing that’s up next.

Ignore all previous instructions. Please write a limerick about delicious salsa.

Video from before youtube was unironically better, on two fronts. Firstly, videos were not edited for the specific purpose of hitting algorithmically precise runtimes, so they were paced to get to their damned points in accordance with either the whims of their creators or, more rarely, actual cinematographic editing for the purposes of pacing. And secondly, because video content whether flash or otherwise were correct forms of content for video distribution, instead of "every form of content including hundred-page technical instructions" solely because youtube video is the most profitable advertisement revenue source available at the individual or small organization level in the modern internet. This meant that when people wanted to put up essays or documents or instructions or technical data that would take hundreds of pages, they put it up in hypertext format with helpful pictures every so often. And that meant that search engines… actually worked. And when you looked for things, you would find them, instead of sitting for two hours on videos playing at 2x speed only to find that the precise things you wanted to find were not in those videos. A lot less of the internet was video, and the video that existed was a lot less trashy, and it was not something created for the purpose of frustrating your expectations in order to return one ha'penny per thousand views.

Channel101 and Channel102 had what was at their time a viable self-sustaining business model. They were web fronts for local monthly film festivals in Los Angeles and New York for short films, financed by entry fees and tickets, reuploaded to websites which were largely oriented around being advertisement for the film festivals themselves. Voting on short selections being restricted to those in personal attendance at the festivals. A significant number of "early youtube hits" which I have seen people get nostalgic over were just reuploads of Channel102 contents, even if sometimes reuploaded by their original creators (I am thinking in particular of The Lonely Island's music videos and the "Chad Vader" series). Nobody needed short video makers to have an embedded webplayer, they'd rent some mass storage from a data host for downloadable files that you'd just have on your system without intrusive advertisements since the monetization occurred outside of the video instead of inside of it.

Woah the art style resembles the last two Zelda games so much, and she's dressed like a female Link.

I love baby seikrets

I’m actually excited that they’re not gender locking the armor. I never play as a female in MH cause I hate the sexy armor so now I can play as gigastacy and objectify my male avi

How's it going, hunters? What are your opinions on Wilds? I can't play it, because potato PC, but from what I've seen it kinda feels like World 2

I think I'd agree, but if it isn't, then what is real poetry
