It’s either that or intense sugar addiction
But probably meth, yeah
Good for her if she got over it, though. It’s the hardest addiction to overcome.
I’m just happy that with my addiction issues, meth was the one drug I never had any desire to do more than once
It’s the worst drug there is
I dunno, have you talked to anyone who is “high on life?” They are insufferable.
I think I want to marry a ‘don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee’ person so I can morning-cheer them into killing me some day. The dynamic sounds fun.
I mean, morning people are basically psychopaths so this tracks.
Manor Lords is a city sim i actually got into playing but then i beat the scenario by accident and it's stuck in a victory loop so i can't keep going in sandbox like it says i can so not bad for five hours of content i guess
that game looks pretty rad but I am gonna let it simmer for a bit in EA before diving in

Friendly reminder that sometimes actors and directors really love their craft and some people are just born to play roles

people like that won't be able to kill anyone early in the morning no matter how much they want to and how much it would be righteous to do so

I tried to watch Returns again a few weeks ago
It is such a different film than ‘89
Kind of a shame of how Burton disappeared a bit on it

If I were genuinely safe due to their morning incompetence and lack of will, that could be even better. It’d be like owning a dangerous annd deeply unhappy animal in a shoddy zoo. Hey, polar bear. I like these bars separating us. You wanna listen to morning reveille with me, polar bear?? ^_^

A victim of '89s box office success?
I think so
When you go back and watch it, ‘89 and Returns cinematically may as well exist in entirely different universes. They’re shot completely differently, the tone is dissimilar, the palettes don’t sync, and the story in Returns is just absolute dogshit.
I’d have loved a whole series of films or TV shows set in the ‘89 universe.

I remember 89' was such a huge thing among my friends. Seeing the movie, renting the NES game, collecting the trading cards. All of it.
And when returns came out we saw it of course but there was none of the talking about it afterwards or anything. Just very meh.

I've always felt like 89 was successful enough that Burton just stopped trying to keep himself disciplined. Batman Returns is just Burton unleashed and unrestrained.

Nowhere really where else to post this since I don't do social media shit, but worth sharing I think.
Just got a piece of my childhood I haven't seen in forever. Grandma made this cross-stich when I was in single digits age. It hung on the wall of the room I slept in every summer at Grandparents House, and every night when I went to bed, in twilight, I would see things in it based on whatever bedtime story I was told. It was just a cat sleeping on an in-progress quilt.
As I grew older, I almost entirely forgot about it, but when my mom was like "Hey, so, we're going through grandma's house, is there anything particularly valuable you want?" it sparked the memory.
My grandma was a very expert cross-sticher, I'm realizing now, in her absence.

Doing that gluten free pizza crust again. This time I added baking powder in the hopes that it would help it get that bubbly crust that real dough does so well. I also did the pre-bake for a couple extra minutes to get some extra crisp to it.
I have a big competition this evening. The 2024 annual Harmony Sweepstakes Bay Area Regional competition is tonight, and I'm competing with one of my groups. It's funny, but I've been in the a cappella scene long enough that I know half of the people who are competing in other groups, and I've performed with a lot of them in other shows. Hopefully we do well!

I've always felt like 89 was successful enough that Burton just stopped trying to keep himself disciplined. Batman Returns is just Burton unleashed and unrestrained.
I certainly agree with the argument that says Burton’s success led him to feel little need to question his choices, but I do feel that there’s a clear artistic objective in Returns that Burton absolutely nails—the problem is that it’s so very different from what made the first film work.
‘89 is essentially a 1940s detective noir filtered through an early 70s crime lens, and that absolutely works for the general Batman vibe of essentially being a mobster flick. It’s To Have and Have Not meets The French Connection, and those are two aesthetics that mesh like Swiss clockwork.
Returns is wholly a fanciful, whimsical love-letter to 1920s German expressionist films like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari—and it’s gorgeous!— but because of that I think Burton either wanted or felt he needed a similarly fanciful and whimsical story and characters, and maybe if the script hadn’t also been just pure fucking garbaggio that would have worked as, like, a one-off project.
But you can’t make your sequel so many different things from your first film while also telling a fundamentally bad story.

I don't think I've seen Batman Returns since I was about 12 but I don't remember it being particularly bad
I do remember the villain being a huge downgrade from the first one though. I adore Danny DeVito but going from The Joker to The Penguin was never going to work very well
