true. he looks at Nicky going to work for peanuts and is like "the gently caress? just sell drugs and steal cars."

it's the same thing his dad was doing he just didn't have time or patience to wait to get to where his dad was (and he knew by the time he was in his 50s his dads job would no longer exist) so he just jumped in and went all out.

It's also why he revels in his own kind of decadence with the coat an the duck and such, there's no point saving because there's no good ending, let's drink and listen to the fiddle

I always thought that scene seemed weird. like maybe Rawls had been in so long that he didn't care if he risked someone finding out by spotting him at a gay bar but I'd think he'd only go to one outside the county just to be safe.

e: I also haven't watched that episode in a while so maybe the location was more remote? I forget.

I watched The French Connection for the first time and holy poo poo I can't believe they got away with endangering an enormous amount of pedestrians. Amazing performances by the actors playing the detectives, they're just the worst scum. The ending is great

Also, I only keep Netflix for the subtitles

speaking of marxist movies, costa-gavras is the only good leftist director and everyone should watch Z and State of Siege. the guy's still a card-carrying member of the French Communist Party and no one makes such bitterly cynical takedowns of oppressive and authoritarian systems. state of siege is also relevant cause one of its main character is pretty much brown moses (supposedly objective technocrat who's actually a stooge for the CIA)

I only have one good cry per decade on average, but Rectify was the only show that has made me nearly cry because of how moving it was. When I finished it was like finishing a great novel where you get satisfaction from how well it stuck the landing, followed by that sense of emptiness that it's over. Fantastic show. gg epileptic preacher from Deadwood

how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?

one time I was drunk at a party and the actor who played Badger was there and I called him Badger by accident and he looked really sad so I walked away


e: upon reflection he may have not been sad he may have just been pissed. I stand by my decision to walk away

Agreed. It's one of the few genuinely touching pieces of TV I've seen. And the bravery of that ending, drat.

The best part of the wire is Rawls looking at one of landsmans porno mags like ah yes, boobs, and handing it back, and then later in the show he's in the background of a scene in a gay bar

Landsman later laughing at "Rawls sucks cock" graffiti and it never being explained if he knows or just hates his boss is also good

It's such a great little throwaway moment

“fairy creatures that hoard wealth as a lesson that greed and bankers are bad” has existed in every human society since the dawn of time. It’s like how the Ferengi on Star Trek are explicitly a critique of America and are even called out as such on the show, even as they share the screen with another race that actually is a metaphor for Jewish people, and people still complain that the Ferengi are anti-Semitic. It’s one of capitals favorite tactics now to deflect any criticism of Capitalist behavior as being anti-Jewish bigotry, which has the possibly intentional side effect of making society further falsely associate greed, sociopathy, and class divisions as being “Jewish Traits”.

yes, the basic concept of greed being bad is fine. making said fairies look like der ewige jude, as already stated, maybe not so much

also remembering how in the movies, the building they used as gringotts has an enormous six-pointed star on its floor, and laughing to myself about it

recirculating the wicked soundtrack into my background music is really making me appreciate how my largely imaginary version of the stage musical streamlines most of the stupid poo poo out of the book and recontextualizes elphaba and glinda as political activists and friends who split over a disagreement about whether meaningful change in oz is possible under the wizard lol of course not glindas such a dumbass

ive never seen the stage musical i just know from the synopsis that they replace the incomprehensible world building with dumb boyfriend drama instead but man the soundtrack itself has basically no boyfriend stuff at all except in the sense that boyfriends are used as an opiate to distract from the wizards white supremacy a thing i only even know about because its dealt with much more extensively in the book

for fucks sake glinda the wizard not only doesnt care about the white supremacy hes too stupid to read his own magic book hes literally offering us high level government jobs to cover for the fact that hes illiterate

yes but what if we try to talk him into thinking white supremacy is bad that seems like less work than acknowledging our entire culture is based on a lie
