matt stone and trey parker made me a considerably worse and more insane person
This really is just weird ass foreplay for them huh ? Fucking freaks. You see how Joker cut his suit to expose his chest ? They are definitely not slick. Somebody call Alfred.
gotham is filled with evil homosexuals so I think having a buff dude in high-tec latex underwear pinning them to the ground doesn't really help the crime situation actually
after 7 exhausting months of being fixated on The Book of Mormon musical, my brain decided it's time to switch it up with some old stuff so heres some Batman: Europa screenshots that are really fucking gay
God's strongest soldiers are retail workers that have to listen to that dog shit music all hours of the day

ripley the terrible
It is simply very weird, as put by Lindsay Ellis in her video on Rent, that the machine which the characters are raging against in the midst of the AIDS crisis isn’t the pharmaceutical companies, healthcare system, select politicians, or hell, even the government itself, which failed especially the queer community but also all individuals in need at the time and deserved much raging against. Instead, the characters rage against their landlord. Jonathan Larson made most of the characters petty, artsy, and privileged, and selectively gave some of them AIDS for dramatic effect or to no avail. He also created two characters who (actually) suffer in poverty and are dying of AIDS (literally, one of them dies) and decided to instead center the story on a couple of the aforementioned privileged asshole artists. I find those creative choices quite weird as well.
It is functionally strange that this musical pays such little respect to poverty, queer identity, and illness, despite those being the central themes. A musical that would’ve handled those topics more appropriately obviously wouldn’t have changed the world or stopped the AIDS crisis – entertainment such as Broadway musicals mostly tries to appeal to mainstream audiences to garner more profit (which is why no mainstream show or movie is ever particularly politically radical!) – but that hypothetical musical might’ve raised awareness amongst the massive audience it did get. It might’ve shown a more real kind of suffering coming from poverty, instead of mostly showing characters that chose to live in poverty and complained about it. It could’ve offered a representation of a bisexual character who isn’t incredibly promiscuous and disloyal. Maybe it might’ve even encouraged some audience members to get mad at the horrible institutions that were letting a pandemic fly by for several years, and who knows, those audience members might’ve also joined an AIDS protest or two. Although any change from the actual reality of Rent would’ve been good.
I don’t really hate Rent, but I think that it’s good to recognize that despite the fact that it can be enjoyable, it’s not very good and extremely inappropriate for its time period. If you’re looking for a musical that has queer characters and actually gives a meaningful sociopolitical message, Falsettos talks about similar topics, and Cabaret is great as well!
these pronouns are getting out of hand
I'm watching south park s20 rn and apart from the whole season being shit, it also had one of the biggest missed opportunities. since mr. grarrison is slowly transforming into trump, they should've given him a joker-type story (like the one where he falls in a tub of acid). except of being acid, it's mcdonalds grease (double pun bc it's american and called mcdonald). the boiling grease fries his hair and cooks his skin, giving him the iconic look.
am I insane or is this not a banger? maybe a little bit too cartoonish
