I call this the Jersey Shore Effect. Something starts out as an object of ridicule but through media saturation people are exposed to it so much, for so long, that it becomes normalised and then aspirational, purely through conditioning; it’s in people’s brain all the time so at some point they decide they like it.

It’s the same way that music worked back in the days of radio: play something enough and undiscerning people just start liking it, because its in their head all the time.

Yeah I highly recommend this for anyone who’s interested in film at all. Really interesting observations and insights.

Why is anyone analysing the star wars stories, they are all incoherent nonsense at this point.

Sallet downhill racers!

It’s not the milk lol.

Hilarious that this is true and yet the US is still somehow fatter.

Listen to the sound of pure, animal pain this guy makes when the cat gets its claws into him (and that’s through his denim jeans):

Warning: this cat is in some distress.

I will not be taking questions on how I recognise the extreme agedness of your terminology.

“Lamers”?!? What are you, like 90 years old?

Hans Zimmer fucking sucks. Every score he does stands in front of the film instead of supporting it.

I saw Bladerunner as a teenager and it affected me so much I’m now a grown-ass man living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Follow your dreams.
