Dedicated pseudo-intellectal freeform trash-talk thread

You make it sound like you're a character in a William Gibson novel.

Not one of his novels...I live in "The Gernsback Continuum." Flint is not as sexy as, say, Chiba City.

I think these places are legit beautfil, and they're cozy to me.

I get it.

I live in the subarctic... civilization is not our forté.

I think this song sums it up pretty well:



So if you're saying, "This place isn't everybody's cuppa, but I fit right in," I feel you.

not if you are a Rush tribute band that plays everything at sunnO))) speed...

Which would actually be fucking amazing. Think what you may about rush, but if you think this video is not awesome then get out my face.

This is amazing. From now on, all Rush I hear will be slowed down to this speed.

You know I've never seen The Matrix, any of them.

But I love Hannibal if we're on Fishburne.

Fuck Hannibal is cancelled.

[Blackened Soul]

if you to, just watch the first one and the anime one, the other two are crap, haven't watched Hannibal, don't really follow 'merkan tv

Well European/British TV is better, but American TV has its moments. Hannibal is one of those moments. Artsy, gory, more disturbing than most horror movies, stimulates thought on psychology, etc. Naturally, it was cancelled.

Where do you hail from, again?

[Blackened Soul]

From? California Live? I live in a moss and tree covered state directly south of BC

Nice! Never been. Plan to some day. Fuck BC is expensive. I'm on the opposite end of the country. A condo in BC is worth the same as like, a farmhouse with a mile of beach front property in NB. But there are no jobs there...

Anyway, American TV. I watch a lot of it. LOST is my favourite show. It's extremely divisive (some people really hate it) but it means a lot to me. I've watched it seven times. And comedy... Archer makes me laugh a hundred times an episode. And Parks & Rec.

Mostly though I've been watching the atmospheric crime stuff from around the world... Broadchurch, The Killing, Top of the Lake, Southcliffe, The Bridge, The Fall... it's all just Twin Peaks meets The X-Files, rehashed... but I love that stuff so I watch all of it.

Twin Peaks + The X-Files = most modern TV dramas

So are you friends with greenfuzz?

[casecandy]

I'm not sure...? So maybe no! Should I be?!

I realize this was a joke...? But I really have a poster of Gerard Way on my wall in my office
It's a page from a 2003 issue of SPIN, just before they blew up (been a fan a Killjoy since Bullets came out)
He was just a kid, looks like a poser teenager in this photo! Insane hair! LOL



I'm pretty fucking emo but everybody is emo on the inside if they just stop worrying and learn to love it
You got to be careful. One day you're like, Huh, I kindof like this one Conor Oberst song
The next you're like, sitting on the floor wearing thick-frame black glasses and Chucks, listening to a 180g vinyl copy of Seaweed's Spanaway, reading Pablo Neruda, mumbling to yourself about whether Jawbreaker are gonna get back together or not
Real slippery slope
