Best moment of Disco Elysium for me.

I just sighed so hard I put my back out.

Just because you don’t know something doesn’t mean it is untrue.

This is like reverse appropriation and is just as bad.

Fleetwood Mac and cheese.

Yeah, OK. I’m in.

The big brain move was to ask them first, thereby proving you wanted to use their IP.

If he had just faked it anyway without asking he might have got away with it.

Genius strategist.

Yeah? Cool.

I don’t think that’s true. There’s a great video here that highlights the fact that even a lot of modern slang is far older than you think.

Mate, the thing about gen x is that they dont care. This is boomer energy being projected.

Which is cool, I guess, whatever.

This is so on form for UCLAN.

Pretty sure we had Halloween before the US even existed.

Admittedly we had to carve turnips.

Some still do.

Someone once pointed out to me that what I consider small talk might be someone else’s important.

Sure it might seem like gossip or chat about the weather just for the sake of talking but it can equally be someone trying to say that they are lonely and need reassurance.

I think about that a lot and I’ve become a lot more tolerant. Besides, you can segue into some pretty big chat from such humble starts.

Influencers are just fleshy billboards for whoever wants them to shill.

It isn’t a job, it is a resource.

And honestly, I think we are all getting tired of seeing their burning faces and hearing their vapid takes.

Dead drops and one time pads.

Set up a numbers station if you can afford it.

You’ve managed to get the affinity stuff working under wine? I can’t get publisher to work correctly. I just wish they would make a native version. I’m happy to give them money for it even.

It’s hard to make money from Adobe when they charge you £66 a month.

It was also a work of fiction.

Or propaganda.

A lot of 80s/90s TV was selling a lie because it was primarily written by the upper middle classes portraying the lives of the working class.

They had little idea how things actually worked.

I have a theory that our job is just to get out of the way when the boomers die off.

Hand over the power to the next gen.

Maybe let us have some basic income and our first gen consoles and we’ll be cool.

This is the family edit version. The other version the OP has posted include the TV edit, the studio DVD, the criterion collection and, of course, the extended cut directors edit.

Cranberries evolved so they wouldn’t be eaten.

Most fruits want to be eaten so that birds disperse the seeds.

Their preferred method of dispersal was dropping into flowing water, so that they could find somewhere nice to grow near water.

The astringent taste was to stop birds eating them. They became buoyant in water to help them float down stream.

Humans appeared and loved that dry flavour.

Became one of the most eaten fruits on the planet.

Humans even harvest them by flooding and using their own buoyancy against them.

They will get their revenge.

That’s a bit like saying you can find cheaper rollercoasters outside Disney Land.

It’s true, but price isn’t why people go. It’s prestige and experience.

Controversial opinion… Not all horror has to be event horror and that a lot of what we are perceiving as Indie Horror success right now is actually just a form of mainstream-like hype.

Take Longlegs… The trailers, the casting of Cage… These are classic mainstream cinema tactics.

Novelty is fine, but doesn’t that ho back to the times of free vomit bags and life insurance policies?

Maybe grabbing attention should be from well crafted films telling great narratives that resonate with audiences, and if you have to think “outside of the box” then your box isn’t big enough in the first place.
