the local arthouse theater is showing this week the rivals of amziah king, the wrong girls, and teenage sex and death at camp miasma, all limited releases that I have been psyched about. however I am in pirate hell at the moment so this is going to be a tough call

had a real backrooms moment at work today. my company has a shared building downtown, 90% of our offices are on the 6th floor and my department has one space on the 4th floor, where I work. I had to run up to 6 to deliver something to a higher-up, but Iāve only ever been to the conference room right off the elevator, and the map she sent me did not adequately express the nightmare labyrinth I was walking into. everyoneās working from home! I wandered for a WHILE. the backrooms are scary but at least they have lights on!

I'm pretty sure that any two sufficiently good-looking gen Z kids could make it on TikTok by making videos that are 100% word-for-word re-enactments of Monty Python skits, and the whole audience who has never heard of the flying circus in their lives would lose it over such fresh and original material.
asked one of my coworkers how she's doing today and she goes "could be better, could be worse," and another coworker nearby who was eavesdropping chimes in with "could be a lil bit o' alligator curse!" i have no idea what he meant by that but i do know that it has been immediately added to the lexicon.
20 years later. you're kermit. opening night at the muppet theater. you look up. you can't believe it. those two awful cunts from next door are here. neither of them died yet. they're going to be here, forever.
okay this is my last one for the night bc I have an in-office appointment tomorrow
WHAT ABOUT THE FUCK TENT god. this is played as comedy but all I can think about is Max.
congratudolences to Billy, once again, on becoming important at work.
āThatās Flintās gift, isnāt it? He knows just what to sayā OUTLAW PROPHET CAPTAIN FLINT. this is so good for me personally
wow this is the most joyless sex Iāve ever seen. neither Flint nor Miranda is having a good time
Eleanor is really digging her heels in on this whole thing, and I sense a Backfire coming
oh my god, Silver being a terrible cook is the funniest possible outcome here. I know weāre not likely going to dig into how he became a good cook by the time of Treasure Island, but I like to think heās taking some classes on the side.
also I love how everyone is lying at all times. even low stakes shit, like whether or not Silverās a good cook! lie first handle the fallout later! not a single reliable narrator among the bunch
Max :( :( :( this is so awful.
āyou can trust me because I care only about my own survival!ā Buddy Iām not sure thatās the winning argument you think it is.
makes me think of that Community episode about conspiracies: āwhen you conspire with everyone you come across, you're not really conspiring with anyone. You're just doing random crap.ā
Anne and Jack, to me:
Eleanor is DOUBLING DOWN oh girl. you are going to double down into your grave
like I think thereās a version of this that goes āah, Eleanor is being underestimated by the men around her, letās prove them all wrong!!ā but I doubt this is doing anything so reductive
āa place where she matters. a place where you matter. but places like this arenāt meant to lastā LIKE! thereās no way this ends well for her
OH NO THE CAT
oh good the catās okay but poor Randall
oh godddddd Silver suggesting cutting Randallās leg off when we know heās gonna lose his own leg at some point
also, obviously as captain the right thing to do is try and save Randall. however I do have to wonder if Flint made the lightning fast calculation that Morley, the one who gives most of a shit about Randall, might be swayed by trying to save him at risk to himself.
I mean obviously Morley died but he was still alive when Flint ran for the ship.
Mr. Guthrieās perceptive enough to figure out Mirandaās deal but somehow I doubt she wants a return to civilization. like I see where youāre going with this but I think youāre barking up the wrong tree
ugh back to Vane. Iām praying he gets interesting eventually
okay I retract this almost immediately. thereās something going on there and Iām willing to see where it goes
okay I am still skeptical of Mirandaās involvement in the Guthrie/Bryson double cross but again: Iām willing to see where it goes
extremely annoyed that I have work tomorrow and canāt just stay up and keep watching
#why did you break mutuals w that person? a matter completely unrelated to the revolution
sorry i just realized this post is like ungoogle-ably niche. this is the phrase robespierre used in his privates notes of dirt on his political rival danton when he said danton accused their mutual friend and colleague camille desmoulins of (paraphrased) "a private and shameful vice, but a matter completely unrelated to the revolution" (the point being danton is an asshole bc he was talking shit about his good friend behind his back). seared into my brain of course bc this is the single shred of primary evidence from which hilary mantel wove her beautiful webs of bisexual psychosexual depravity
the thing is my library has black sails on dvd but it only has seasons 1 2 and 4. my thought was āonce I get to season 3 I can probably request it or do an interlibrary loan or somethingā but Iāve been on this boat for 10 minutes and Iām already thinking ājust buy the damn dvd set yourselfā
