Not a movie, but for me House of Leaves was awful. Most of the characters are extremely flat and we barely get to see them interact. The central gimmick of run-on footnotes and rabbit holes is more annoying than profound, even if it did tie into the themes well. The author also clearly has something against women, since I can’t name a single female character who isn’t a either sex object, a prostitute, or an adulterer. The horror atmosphere also didn’t land for me, mostly because it’s so surreal that I can’t get invested in the characters as actual people.
Ibaudia@lemmy.worldto Are The Straights OK?@lemmy.blahaj.zone•"Wife bad", found here on LemmyEnglish11·11 months agoMy partner definitely does this a lot. We’ll be having a good time and randomly she gets upset, usually because something in her environment reminds her of something she is/was unhappy about. Then starts bringing up unrelated things from the distant past that also make her upset, seemingly just to continue the cycle. This often just gets projected onto me and she gets extremely impatient with me or raises her voice, even if what she’s mad about has nothing to do with me.
I thought this had more to do with her mental illnesses than anything. The fact that this is such a stereotype, though, makes me think we’re failing our young girls by socializing them to be psychic vampires, similar to how we socialize young men to be aggressive.
Lazy anti-vegan post boooo
The inside and outside of all drumsticks are chocolate-coated. They put it in their ads and in their packaging so I’m not sure how it surprised you. If you don’t want that, then maybe try a different product lol.
