If TES6 isn't truly ethereal, then I don't want it. I want TES to feel set apart from other fantasy games. How it was intended from the beginning. The games got dumber and dumber, and so did the setting as a whole. Don't get me wrong, Oblivion and Skyrim are fantastic games that gave us a lot of material but; TES was once about esoteric concepts and larger-than-life forces. I want wheels within wheels. Grand stories of the towers, of the cycle of wakefulness. Creation and uncreation, infinites within finites. Bleeding hearts of dead and outcast gods. The struggles of mortality and divinity. Perhaps not in pure gameplay- or most ceraintly definitely not, but rather the existence of. The feeling of deeper, darker, larger things. Maybe in 6 we'll see the Thalmor be more than background boogeymen. Please, Bethesda, explore the metaphysicality that makes The Elder Scrolls actually different. Oh and make the Dark Brotherhood not shit again, please. Hail sithis, or something.

Turnstile songs are 3 minutes of the same riff and Brendan Yates saying some shit like “the power of friendship keeps me alive/separate my friend group I’ll probably die”

I fear we’re moments away from hearing Donald Trump say the word “Turnstile”

Sacha Baron Cohen on suspicion that the calls for a boycott of his new film, 'Ali G: Who Iz I?,' are tied to his past support of Israel: "Well, I haven’t said anything about Israel. I think people are being portrayed as things that they are not on social media and it’s problematic. We are in a world where people can’t distinguish between facts and lies, and that’s something that I’ve spent a lot of the last few years trying to fix. For example, I co-founded a group called Stop Hate for Profit with the NAACP and Color of Change and the ADL and certain other civil rights groups to stop the misinformation and incitement of racism on social media. So, I’m not surprised that prominent Jews are being targeted. I knew that this was going to happen. The level of organization is surprising, but this is a trend of Jews being portrayed in certain ways and trying to be silenced." bit.ly/4BpPgkz

‘REVENGE OF THE SITH’ (2005) is full of paintings. Anakin on Mustafar, stuck on the low ground and staring up at Obi-Wan, has the same look as Alexandre Cabanel’s The Fallen Angel - Lucifer right after he’s thrown out of heaven, crying and furious at the same time. The Plagueis scene at the opera is basically a Caravaggio: two faces lit out of the dark while Palpatine sells the dark side. (The blue-faced guy outside the box is George Lucas - his only Star Wars cameo.) And the lava isn’t all CGI. Mount Etna erupted in 2002 while the film was being made, so Lucas sent a crew to shoot it. That real eruption is in the background of the duel.

Peak white boy music like this scared the hell out of the powers that be. That's when they started pushing the rap music.

Shane Gillis, grandson of a 33rd Degree Mason, said the f-word on SNL on purpose to traumatize the viewers, thereby making them more susceptible to mind control. Saturn’s hexagon doth overfloweth with loosh, and Gillis gets a handsome paycheck. Two clowns. One circus.
