John Oliver platforms Palestinian voices as he advocates for voting for Harris.

If you live in a swing state, please properly consider your role in this election. Remember to distrust the polls, the projections - the presidential election will be infuriatingly close. Nothing is set in stone.

Please think about your queer friends and family, your community that includes people of colour, disabled people, poor people, immigrants. Evaluate the true historical value of what a protest vote does - compare it to the two candidates, one of which will be the president at the end of this final stretch.

Your vote matters. Please, treat it like it does.

blood is so cool

its like a magic liquid that keeps you alive. AND its bold red like the most cuntservy color possible and a little blood on the outside of your body and everyone’s attention is on you. It commands the room. AND it tastes good

this is a normal take ! 👍

i'm so confused rn, can you explain the goncharov thing?? i get off tumblr for five minutes

Lmaoooo

Nah I getchu. So this post has been circulating for like a year:

Link to post.

But yesterday, it had inspired someone to do this:

Link to post.

Next thing I knew there were fake Letterboxed reviews.

Goncharov moodboards. Really good ones.

Link to post.

Meta analysis. So many fake meta essays. Disturbingly good ones. And of course the memes. (Edit: HAVE I SAID THIS SHIT IS DISTURBING)

As you can see, the myth just started to grow, characters and ships and tropes being added one after the other, almost bizzarely without contradiction, until there was enough of shape to the whole thing for people to start posting fanfic about it on AO3. "No beta we die like ice-pick Joe" is already a tag.

It was hilarious in the beginning, but the way it's developed within less than a day, kind of like it's being willed into existence, is freaking me out a bit. We're toying with powers beyond our comprehension. 😂😂😂

Of course, there could be an ulterior motive as well.

Link to post (tags mine).

Edit: guys, please tag these posts "unreality" so people with disassociation issues can filter them out (not this one, this is an explainer). <3

Edit 2: Aparently the boots in the original post are actually referring to a movie called Gomorrah that came out in 2008, directed by Mateo Garrone, based on the Scampia Feud. And other people had also been making posts about the fake movie for a while before the poster took off.

Edit 3: Explainer: why did those boots have this movie on them anyway?

Edit 4: Alt text added to all images courtesy of @valentineish ❤️

Edit 5: Turns out tumblr has done this kind of thing before. Nine years in this hell place and I had to have "Squiddles" and penis smp explained in the replies.

Edit 6: This post collects the Lore so far.

Edit 7: Lynda Carter (real one)/ earns more/ Tumblr cred.

Edit 8: Holy shit y'all we have the theme music. With sheet music. And it's on Spotify!

Edit 9: THERE IS A TRAILER WITH THE THEME MUSIC

I made this post 18 hours after the movie poster went up. Closed edits 27 hours after first posting. So all of the above happened within 45 hours of the movie poster going up.

Edit 10: Google document live-compiling all the lore so far (Day 3)

Edit 11: Masterpost of Goncharov soundtracks (Day 3)

Edit 12: Entertainment news articles covering the Gonch-posting (real) (Cont'd from yday)

Everything Everywhere All At Once should be taught in critical theory classes. An hour and a half into discussing the movie after getting out of the theater I half-jokingly said "Okay. This is a Marxist movie now. Go." and my partner went "alright so half the movie is laborers fighting the IRS. They are alienated from themselves because of their labor. They live in their workplace, to the point where Evelyn can bang on the ceiling and tell her husband to stop being a husband and start being a laborer. The conflict starts because the American Dream is failing for these Ideal Chinese Immigrants(tm) who are Perfect Little Workers Pulling Themselves Up By Their Bootstraps. Deidre is 'going after all the Chinese in the community to audit.'"

Borrowed observation from Dan Olson:

"Abstraction is, counterintuitively, very efficient. It allows a movie to be about a lot of things simultaneously by letting symbols bleed into one another." [src]

What I love about how the movie is cut and how the story is told is that there's as many different readings as there are cuts between shots. Some readings are pretty obvious (race, queerness, gender), pretty obvious with necessary background knowledge (the whole thing might as well be a postmodern retelling of the Myth of Sisyphus), subtle but no less There (Marxist alienation of labor, the lived experience of mental health especially ADHD and dissociative responses, the experience of modernity being a constant demand for attention a la ads, social media, social obligations), or pretty out there but an argument can be made for their presence anyway (Waymond as Christ figure, metanarrative about the Hero's Journey).

Basically, I like this movie a lot, and anyone who wants to get better at analyzing media should go see it, pick a framework, and apply it. See what'cha get. I chose the Absurdism/Nihilism angle when I saw it the first time, because Camus is my favorite philosopher, but you can choose basically anything and come out satisfied. Go see this movie.
