I just rewatched Dark City, which I remembered nothing about other than it was very cool and very good.
What strikes me is how well lit the film is w/ a depth to the color contrast. Modern stuff is so muted and I dunno if that's digital or just an aesthetic. I just binged Silo and it's so muddy.

Having recently been yelled at IRL by various middle-aged white men, all of whom were wrong on the facts, I find myself thinking about the concept of rage-farming, and the rage-farmed.

You've been on Ceres too long, eh? You forget how to be a good rock hopper.
You're constipated, you suck a stone to get things moving.
If it's the other problem, you shove that rock up your ass.

It is International Men’s Day and I just wanted to remind you lads that I love you and hope you’re taking care of yourselves. That thing that you think isn’t a big deal? Get it checked before it’s too late. And for Pete’s Dragon’s sake, talk to friends or a professional if you need to.
