Gen V 2.08 "Trojan"

[nessa007]

"Preparing [for the role of Nikki] was really fun. We got to watch a lot of fun movies, and kind of pick and choose, like a puzzle, what we wanted in the film. Moments that we took inspiration from, and made them our own." — Inde Navarrette for Fandango "We watched Get Out, and focused on a lot of the moments where characters are showing an emotion underneath but saying something completely different [on the surface], and how horrific that is. There's a scene where [Nikki] is saying, "no", and there is a [similar] scene in Get Out [which we took inspiration from]." — Inde Navarrette for A Shot Magazine Obsession (2026) Dir. Curry Barker Get Out (2017) Dir. Jordan Peele

I was calling to see if there's a way I can cancel the wish. Michael Johnston as Bear in Obsession (2026) | written & directed by Curry Barker

[acerobianco1984]

We move from the systemic trauma of religion to the relational trauma of "incels," and frankly, I find this a much dirtier and, in some ways, disturbing narrative choice precisely because it's so everyday.

Obsession promises to be a classic film that divides audiences: some will find it a masterpiece of social commentary, while others will accuse it of being a moral lesson as heavy as a boulder.

It's brilliant that director Curry Barker doesn't try to justify his protagonist. Most films exploring friends-to-lovers veer toward romance or pathetic drama; here, we enter the realm of toxic possession. The idea of ​​turning the "desire to be loved" into a psychological prison for the other person is a perfect metaphor for modern emotional manipulation. If the film succeeds in showing Bear as the true monster—not because he's possessed, but because he's chosen to use that power—then we have a powerful social commentary.

10000 YEAR OLD ROCK ART OF GIRAFFES FOUND IN LIBYA LET'S GO

[kaylmao]

YES!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lilacchao]

of note: 95% of libya is desert, and giraffes are not found there! but this predates not just the libyan desert, but the entire sahara desert it's a part of! giraffes aren't found there any more and this is a memory of a time when things were giraffier

also apparently this rock art dates across multiple periods spanning thousands of years? but i couldn't find much detail on that so i can't give specifics

but yeah, this isn't just a memory of giraffes, but of giraffes now absent encountered by people just 2000 years (the difference between the late roman republic and today) out of the ice age, in a climate unfamiliar to any of the hundred billion people born since the desertification of the sahara drove the ancient egyptians to the nile, near the start of the agricultural revolution

the time between this and the birth of the sahara was nearly as long as the time between the birth of the sahara and now, in which all recorded history is contained, and all languages we can recognise at all - the language and culture of these people would be totally alien to current libyans, twice the difference between the oldest european language and english, predating all but libya's mountains!

and we have pictures of giraffes of the time! what a beautiful gift from such a distant past

This is real though, right?

He remembered being so happy to see him. Even now, just knowing that Ilya had made the trip to the hospital filled Shane with a tingly warmth. Shane was completely in love with him. He would hit his head all over again just to be alone in that quiet hospital room with those careful fingers and those concerned eyes.
