if only you could see what I'm about to see
a fun little-known fact about Blade runner is that back in 2017, they made three anime short films set in the same universe. they are all on youtube
one of these short films was cut even shorter and made into a video for the song Venger by Perturbator. this, alas, no longer seem to be on youtube
it hath resurrected

"mastodon user sargoth, what is the porpoise of running these polls for such short durations at such an atrociously inconvenient hours?"
years and years ago I downloaded a set of movies with the intention of watching them one day. turns out you gotta be specific about what day, lest it lingers
also, the point is to randomize a selection; one vote suffices for all intensive porpoises

after oh so many years I get to find out what this movie is about
@sargoth Surely it must be about stateless old guys having trouble getting a passport somewhere because they've passed the grace period of adulthood in the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
Butternuts 🦆@sargoth it's not about anything but it's still very very good
@batterpunts it's somehow even slower than Carpenter's Assault on precinct 13 from a couple of weeks back
@sargoth it's good slow. now stop reading toots and watch it fully.

two fun nuggets is that
1) this thread apparently breaks some masto clients, which is always an interesting find, and
2) I am rapidly running out of random movies that past me downloaded that one time, which means I'll either have to get more of 'em, or wind down this experiment in slacktivist randomization

this is the second movie I've seen that have featured the Beastie Boy song Sabotage
mcc@sargoth what i dislike is often movies use Sabotage as shorthand for "a very loud song" but then they forget there's that 17 second intro which is not very loud at all
@mcc completely unrelated to sabotage: I do appreciate that soundcloud allows you to see when a song Gets Loud
just in case one gets confused about the earlier parts and them being relatively noisy
RA, God of the Sun (mix 6)
As the name suggests, the songs on this album all reflect the character and story of the Ancient Egyptian God they represent.

next week will be an interesting fulcrum point, in that I am rapidly running out of movies I downloaded that one time with a vague notion of watching them later
the many, many votes are in, and the winner is dat harvest sky
nyoooom
this movie did not, in fact, at any point, nyoom
I have exactly one movie queued up this friday afternoon, and then I have officially run out of movies that I downloaded that one time with a vague commitment to watching them at some point. This makes for a short list this week, and a longer one next week, by virtue of repeating the process with a brand new iteration of "that one time". As one does
And so, one last time: when I get back from getting a pizza, should I watch

@sargoth strictly speaking, the least voted for option should not be viewed, so potentially you watch no movie today
@batterpunts it amuses me that there are established rules of procedures for these votes, and that they specify what happens even if no one votes
(victory by seniority. the pizza requires at least one movie. them's the rules)
@sargoth no votes leads to undefined behaviour as per C compiler
