so Kirk Douglas’ therapist tells him “you should go see Spartacus it’s an inspiring uplifting film,” but he breaks down and cries “but doctor I am Spartacus,” right about then the door opens and the secretary declares “I am Spartacus,” and shows in the next patient who says “I am Spartacus” and then
Am I telling this joke right?
Yesterday, I finally figured out why I grew up around such a hate on for college degrees. There’s a class element; if someone goes to college, it’s assumed they have more money to do it, and will also have more money in the future as a result, unlike a poor person who loses because they lose because they’re losing. And to a conservative, who sees everything as a moral issue, if someone benefits despite something that wrong, they (not societal inequalities) are obviously evil.
While listening to the Excalibur and Monty Python and the Holy Grail soundtracks, I colored up a #drawing.
"So what's Heavy Metal about anyway?"
"Okay so there's a space car and an evil artifact decides some grade school kid will be vitally interested in its life story, and then there's some boring shit, and then there's a kinda okay sword and sorcery story, then there's this really hilarious story with awesome cartoony art, then there's THE AWESOME PART WITH WWII AND ZOMBIES, then there's a kinda unfunny comedic story with a pretty good line about being stoned, and then there's a kinda boring sword and sorcery story which they use to wrap up the film because they were baked and needed to end it somewhere."
honestly "B-17s! Only SUDDENLY for no reason GLOWING GREEN MAGIC TURNS THE CREW INTO ZOMBIES! The pilot narrowly escapes but finds himself TRAPPED ON AN ISLAND OF CRASHED PLANES BEYOND SPACE AND TIME" is sorta the most ADHD friendly plot of any of the Heavy Metal sequences, even if WWII aircraft aren't one of your hyperfixations
#drawing last night is definitely getting there and equally obviously nowhere near the skill I want to have.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
