Honestly, one of the things that fuck me up the most about The Brothers Karamazov, is not only that Dostoyevski names Fyodor Karamazov —arguably the most vile character in the novel— after himself; but that he names this character's pure son, mr. little ray of sunshine Alyosha, the same as the son Dostoyevski lost at three years old, a loss that pained him all his life, like????? what did you meant by this sir???? does such goodness only belongs to the realm of death?? of fantasy?? Are we always to taint good works through our polluting influence? what does this mean!!!!

From W. J. Leatherbarrow's "Fyodor Dostoyevsky: The Brother's Karamazov"

Surely it's been more than said before but the fact that Logan Roy's last words to his children aren't an angry tirade, or a proper apology, but a measured, calm and devastating 'you're not serious people'; and how despite rooting for the kiddies, and knowing that Logan Roy did nothing but terrorize those around him, how the man can't help to 'kick a dog and see how many times he comes back'; the previous and the next episodes do nothing but prove how right he was... I'm just-

if i ever come off a little weird and you wonder if theres something wrong with me there is theres actually so many things wrong with me but im doing such a good job being normal. so you should actually be proud of me you should smile and be like wow youre doing such a good job and then be on your merry way

this is just the beginning of this awesome list. these movies are all essential viewing imo so it's pretty cool that you can google "[x film] archive.org" and you can just watch it.

I love Hideo Kojima he makes multiple games where characters give long winded monologues (that he personally wrote) about how US entertainment media is designed to manufacture consent for the military, and then he'll spend 3 days gushing about Top Gun
