Severance 2.10 "Cold Harbor"

SEVERANCE 2.05

[chiimeramanticore]

dude you gotta watch severance it's so exciting. in season 2 they go outside

[insomniac-arrest]

Severance is so many things, a commentary on corporations and labor, on trauma, on religion, on the concept of “self”, but once I noticed how hard they actually go on the commentary of the treatment of children, I couldn’t unsee it

The little white lie “This is the tallest waterfall on the planet” brought me back to all the times I was lied to as a child—over harmless things, funny things, things that didn’t matter (holidays, magic, bedtime, death)

Lies your older cousin tells you because you don’t know any better and that’s the way of things, the power and frustration of knowing vs not knowing

Told you can’t leave, can’t explore, can’t choose what you wear or eat or do, the concept of permission dictates every detail of your life and you better be sorry (and sorry is all you are) if you violate these edicts; even deep emotions are the privilege of adults—adults can cry all they want for as long as they want; but innies? What do they have to cry about. Death and disease and devotion happen outside these walls. And you don’t belong there

the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong you just need better friends for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.

hoes mad

[homunculus-argument]

Being overstimulated is such a weird thing to explain to people. Like "hey sorry, I'm not mad at you and this is nobody's fault and I'm not blaming anyone for it happening, I am aware this is a part of regular everyday life but I am mentally crumbling because There Have Been Things Happening nonstop for 5 hours straight back to back with no breaks, and I really need to sit down in complete silence for like 15-25 minutes, after which I will be completely fine and can proceed as normal. But if I'm not allowed to have that, I will resort to violence."

bat at hornets nest maybe but "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" refers to low income communities needing to choose between survival vs being eco friendly. not you continuing to watch the harry potter movies

Wow, I knew Reagan did a lot of stuff that turned out bad, but I didn't realize it was "you can clearly see on the charts when his presidency was" bad

Yeah I was embarrassing when I was 15 who isn’t. Was also Embarrassing at 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Last week. Yesterday

eeaao wasn't a perfect movie but everyone comparing it to marvel needs to get a fucking grip. it was fun and didn't viscerally hate itself for existing, unlike every marvel film ever made

[txttletale]

like the core reason i find marvel shit unwatchable is because everything about those films is neurotically terrified of being Uncool so whenever something fun and campy is happening the film has to grind to a halt to say 'woah haha isn't this wacky' and whenever something serious is happening it does the same to say 'lol, isn't it funny that these silly superhero characters are getting serious?'. and like say what you want about eeaao but it was not afraid of being silly or of being straightforwardly emotionally earnest and did not feel the need to hang a lampshade over every time it was one of those things

[virginiaisforhaters]

i think the thing that gets me the most is that jordan peele movies are not difficult to understand, but people still dont get it and at a certain point it seems almost willful or intentional not to understand anything outside the marvel formula, especially when it comes to movies about the othering or abuse or marginalization of POC. he is a very accomplished writer and director, who skillfully finds the middle ground between throwing ideas in your face and obscuring them in shadows. “whats up with the shoe tho????” its a bad miracle, or its a false memory in jupes mind obscuring his trauma, or hes waiting for the other shoe to drop, or its just something to set the tone. either way, its not about the shoe, its about everything. you just watched a giant hungry predatory camera graphically digest a bunch of people and spit them out, just like the film industry chews people up and spits them out, but the shoe is the thing you cant get past. “what was the point of the monkey scene” its the most pivotal scene in the entire movie, thats the point. its about exploitation, its about trauma, its about the abuse of animal and child actors to manufacture spectacle. thats the entire point of everything, and he didnt exactly spoon feed it to you but its not like you have to have a film degree to get this. you tell me what you think the shoe means. sit with the idea, consider the possibilities.
