Why does TSP have so much subtle anticapitalism in it. Like. Stanley's office job is literally mind control. All the scrawls in the meeting room are about getting more money. Stanley's job is the epitome of David Graeber's theory of Bullshit Jobs. 432 too had a Bullshit Job, and because he literally couldn't do it and everyone fucking hated him, he lost his mind (and fused to the fabric of the universe about it). The Parable is an infinite loop where the Narrator wants you to go back into the loop to do the exact same thing again. When Stanley gets to the Mind Control Facility, the Narrator says Stanley wonders the only reason he ever liked his boring job was because of the mind control. Literally the office is only functional and people are only employed there because of fucking mind control. TSPUD pretty much looks directly into the camera and says "Making more sequels for the sake of sequels, for the sake of the franchise, for the sake of money, instead of because you had genuine reasons for the art to continue, for the art to say more, is a bad thing actually" and pretty much completely dissected why so many sequels and remakes suck- because they're not made for art, they're made for money (or in the narrator's case bc he's a fuckin people pleaser dnjkfksjdnfkjds). Pair this with Kevan Brighting's one tweet abt Stanley telling a cop to fuck off and die and holy shit man TSP is based as fuck
made a post a while back on how javert's suicide is often poorly portrayed in film adaptations to the point of accidental comedy, and how the 1978 movie in particular is the most unhinged example. audio warning for a loud trumpet blast, don't turn up your volume
finding out how much (7000+) in canadian dollars james somerton spent on film cameras while shooting youtube video essays with the ugliest most stagnant compositions and muddy lighting and those fucking goofy turtlenecks is so fascinating to me. like its really just been entirely an ego thing huh . he doesnt even know how to use them
Unrebloggable because i cant source the art and i feel so bad but im so obsessed with a 2008 gg tribute video (WITH dedicated yaoi section) that has these images of testament back to back im so fucking serious right now this is so important to me
