To be totally clear I am reacting to this as a historical fiction rather than a history in itself

Show thread

I'm watching The Lost City of Z 

And it's, uh, better than I thought it would be? It's a sorta pulp jungle adventure. It takes a true story from an ugly period of white people history and does portray that ugliness but avoids a lot of the pitfalls that would make it simpler and more problematic. (Or alternately, unwatchably disgusting.) I think if you're interested in telling stories with a pre-ww1 globetrotting adventure vibe you could watch it and take notes. It's only a tiny bit "white savior" trope but it's really more like "one white guy explains to the other white guys why the other cultures are valid, actually"

The guy doing the expedition into the amazon is settling a map-making dispute! The native character has subtitles and speaks in full sentences! The guy's wife has her own ambitions and feelings! And later the guy returns because he wants to learn more about the history of non-white civilization!

Having said all this I'm not sure why everything is so yellow.

Shout out to my dad who fell asleep literally 5 minutes into this movie

Wait, Fire Emblem Fates is the best-selling tactical RPG of all time?

I thought it was one of the bad ones. :(

@srol This would be pretty cool! There’s some solid, like, alt country and songwriter stuff out there.

I tried to watch The Lobster yesterday 

and it’s gonna be a fuckin yikes from me, dog. It portrays a dull, cruel world of straight marriage paranoia and is so desperately in need of queerness. I didn’t want to spend even 30 minutes there.

@Dex There's a few I'm interested in! Is this one per person or are you just looking to give them away?
