The Matrix vs Ghostbusters

[luka]

i expect HMG painted it himself and is just being modest. a lot of older gentlemen take up painting as they begin to slow down.

Why wouldn't they wanna watch sex and the city huh

Cos it's really shit

 

[Mr. Tea]

Every Mask hides another, snarling in turn when uncovered-
What if, beneath all these masks, lay, not a face, but a hole?
And the Universe came rushing in.

Did anyone see that thing Silo? The remnants of humanity are trapped in a bunker (or silo if you will) under the ground cos the world was ravaged by nuclear war or something. And there is a big question about whether or not it really is, and when SPOILER

Spoiler

people get kicked out they see that the world is actually fine and they have been lied to all the time... but then it turns out that that is just the screen in their spacesuits and it's a double-bluff so the world is actually all fucked after all.

Anyway that's what I think of when I see that picture.

I love that bit in Bruno when he goes camping with those red-neck guys and he starts on about Sex And The City, he sets the perfect, cruelly inescapable trap when he asks Cleetus "Which one of the girls from Sex and The City are you?" of course the redneck angrily snarls back "I aint nothing like none of them bitches" and bang the trap mercilessly snaps shut on him "Ooh, that is such a Samantha thing to say".

It is true that I turn 50 next week. Might crack open the oils, thanks for the encouragement

I read the books (wool, dust, the other one) and have a thing for Rebecca Ferguson, but the show didn't grab me.

hahaha!

 

[Mr. Tea]

There's a new Ghostbusters film out today, which by the sound of it is even more dreary and unnecessary than the last one.

I wish these film studios could just leave the old franchises alone.

Looks like Luka has backup from Claire Penis

 

[luka]

who is claire penis

 

[Corpsey]

Probably from brooklyn

 

[Mr. Tea]

She looks kinda AI-generated.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Or Photoshopped, at the very least.

 

[william kent]

She's a podcaster.

[Corpsey]

Very much in favour of arming the police

I'm not in favour in general, but in the case of people on e-scooters, I think they should be packing AR-15's with live rounds.

I do wish they could make bike locks more effective somehow. Attach explosives that go off is the lock is removed without a code being punched in? Or at least some explosive dye.

the memes in this thread are still hilarious
