@typhlosion funny u talk about that, i’m actually seeing the emoji movie tommorow on opening day. i’ll be taking notes in the theater in hopes of making a essay about it in the context of the debordian spectacle and corporate entertainment called “The Emoji Movie Is Decadent And Depraved”
also if u get what i’m referencing in the title u get a shoutout and a gold star 📢 ⭐️
@weirdoslam the emoji movie is not entertainment
@weirdoslam also nice hunter s thompson reference
@typhlosion that’s what i want to write about tho. i think it is entertainment. barely entertaining entertainment, but still counts. i say this because i see how bad modern capitalist entertainment is and i want to better it by transcending it. and there’s no better way to start then writing a neo-gonzo review about a kids movie with fucking product placement of dropbox, at least imo
@weirdoslam i think that's kind of pretentious and you're better served spending your time elsewhere and not even giving this consummate piece of garbage of a movie the attention, but that's just me
@typhlosion i will give u one piece of credit tho: parents aren’t taking their children and themselves to this film to be entertained. they goin and payin upwards of $10 a ticket to get their kid to shut the fuck up for 2 hours while parents get some 💤. this i think is a very spectaclist problem dealing with media outings and childcare in modern capitalism and (not the only, but) one of the major reasons why films like these with obv stupid ideas keep getting funded
@Elizafox @typhlosion ur definitely right, but there’s no doubt also that there’s a hell of a lot more emoji movies (and more money wasted on them) then serbian films
also the human centipede is underrated honestly. it’s bad. but not #theworstever
AYY YALL BETTER FOLLOW @typhlosion SHE KNOWS WHO HUNTER S THOMPSON IS ❤️ ⭐️ #ff
@weirdoslam i'm not offended just confused
@Elizafox @weirdoslam the strange and terrifying powers of mastodon
@typhlosion oh shit sorry total mistake 😕
@typhlosion I MEAN HE. HE THEY PRONOUNS FOR HIM SORRY
@weirdoslam but seriously. you're gonna go in there surrounded by people all ready to take notes and you're gonna come out of there baffled and outraged that anyone considers that garbage entertainment, because it's not. it isn't entertainment. it's a thin, peeling veneer of the barest spectacle draped over a vapid series of advertisements and bullshit. it is not entertainment. if you wanna do your marxist thing do it on something that's actually entertaining.
