    I was gonna pull a quote to sneer at how much capitalism and hustle culture have poisoned this guy, but holy fuck that kept getting so much worse the more I read. he’s in the hospital with such severe burns from a stupid stunt he did for a scam that he needs a strong opioid cocktail to function, but capitalism has hijacked so much of his brain he’s going to go straight back to it as soon as he’s out of the hospital

    this is the kind of shit you’d see in an absurdist dark comedy and go “yeah the filmmaker’s right, these are the consequences of a world where capitalism has gone too far and twisted us into something unrecognizable and self-destructive” but it’s here, we’re the absurdist dark comedy and these are the consequences

    fuck it, I’m gonna go rewatch The Lobster

        no problem! it’s much more dark than comedic in a lot of parts, but it’s excellent overall.
