tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

Shout out to the guy who wanted to do some fun & silly little reviews but uncovered an illegal gambling operation

(Review 2)

[json-derulo]

this guy started out poking fun at australian politicians and ended up investigating the firebombing of his own home, during which he uncovered connections between the same politician he was making fun of + major organized crime

JasperDasper started out just curious why everything had suddenly become about trans people and questioning some of the sources used in a book. He came out of it, 4 years later, with a 5 hour long video that connects all transphobia to less than 60 people. (I'm not joking. literally every single transphobic rhetoric and bill passed is because of these 50 or so people.)

If you wanna watch it I cannot recommend it enough; I just warn that it covers a LOT.

can anyone tell me the watch order for every movie ever so i can understand all references and homages

Lol sure!!

For movies, here is the beginner's list:

Modern Civilization Essentials

Beginner's guide for getting in the loop.

And the more advanced list:

Full In the Loop

Advanced guide to getting in the loop. Supplementary to "Civilization Essentials." If a movie is on this list, then it has one of these: -Po

Not all these movies are necessarily good, but the ones that gave me small pop culture epiphanies. It made me realize that 30%-40% of the jokes from modern sitcoms are references/parodies- and these movies are their source material.

^^ This is also true for socializing. So many people I thought were naturally funny were just doing movie bits.

per anon’s request, i present to you THE best version of beatrice’s monologue in much ado about nothing. i thought about cropping this but decided this scene must be watched in its full glory

[x-soapbox-x]

What’s really cool about this is this is the first version of this scene that I’ve seen where the tone doesnt whiplash wildly which is so hard to do!!! Bc it’s a scene that comes directly after some rough public shaming and it is both a love confession scene and a scene where a woman asks someone to kill someone and the love confession IS funny but Beatrice’s monologue is not. A lot of the other versions- even well beloved ones like the 2011 version with David Tennant and Catherine Tate- do this scene and there is emotional whiplash, audiences often laughing when Beatrice begs Benedict to kill Claudio. To see it done this way??? Oh my god the line read on “if a were a man, I would eat his heart in the marketplace” DESERVED that cheet

[son-of-drogo]

Goddamn

[elbiotipo]

Something something the fact that post-apocalyptic Usamerican media sees the post-apocalypse as a way to play with a colonial frontier fantasy something

[elbiotipo]

"Oh great! Society has collapsed! Let me grab my Cool 2nd Amendment Self-Defense Rifle so I can be the Lone Man to Keep Order! It's also cool that there's a lot of nameless raiders/zombies/mutants that I can kill with my Cool Rifle and never mind about supplies, I can just loot their stuff! Also, very cool that the violent collapse of society, which probably has killed my own family, friends, everything I love and care for, my daily life, and has exposed me to brutal and horrible sights hasn't given me any lasting trauma to talk about!"

[ribzinc]

Too many people haven't watched this movie and it shows. They literally believe in a Mad Max or Falloutesque lawless mayhem party and assume that they're Max Rockatansky or Caesar and not being whipped.

Dead Man's Letters (1986) knows that there is nothing romantic about war. The apocalypse is loss over and over again, often inflicted by one's own nation's failing institutions. Even when there are scant slivers of hope, they come at a terrible price and go unresolved. I find it interesting that this Soviet treatment of the apocalypse is unremittently dreadful and human, compared to let's say the American or Australian imaginings.

Why? WWII still loomed in cultural memory. The survivors of Stalingrad knew that there are no redeeming qualities to war. It is the worst thing a human can endure. Even if you survive, there is no escaping the grief that now dwells in every person as well as the very land.

Whereas American and Australian (among others') involvement amounted to payed patriotism-fueled excursions into foreign countries, largely beyond the reach of enforcable codes of conduct, to fight for a morally righteous cause and then return as heroes to an unscathed homeland.

And yes, it was traumatizing for many voluntary combatants, but never on a nationwide scale and never so permanently as to leave the cultural imprint it did for the Soviets, as can be seen in Dead Man's Letters.

"that's why i don't consider this a political issue but a human issue" you're not going to believe what sort of issues are covered by politics
