rlly seems like Ricks can't help but admit that ideas like that are basically true; he just thinks it's self-defeating for theorists to emphasize them.
is this literary theory book sandbagging (not rlly the right word but) by citing Christopher Ricks as an opponent of ideas like Saussure's "in language there are only differences without positive terms"?

a tumblr clone where i can't post does do a better job of simulating my tumblr experience in which i don't post
it's too hot
huh, i remembered (partially) two dreams this morning
the kaiju were very cool. the giant robots were mostly cool conceptually. fights were p good. one of the rare movies that str8baits. overall, good. i think i like it slightly more than Hellboy 2.
i would like to date this kaiju. they have a very cool looking tongue and i think they'd be nice once you get to know them
like five goons simultaneously drawing guns at point blank range on the scientist was funny
i think it is especially cool when the giant robots work by some weird strange means like having two pilots that who synchronize one hemisphere of each of their brains to control the giant robot, or they're powered by love.
okay, (re)watching pacific rim!
i liked this one more than the first one. trolls and fairies are much more interesting than nazi occultists and idk, whatever the monster thingy was in the first one. the golden army (the full title is "Hellboy II: The Golden Army) itself was pretty underwhelming but the final fight was pretty good.
i do not like ghost gas guy but i do like him being a ghost gas guy
watching hellboy 2
like, if you just want a vampire movie, you should watch something else. if you just want a martial arts movie you should watch something else. if you want a martial arts vampire movie, blade ii has got you covered. as long as you don’t want a particularly good martial arts vampire movie.
blade II was okay. blade himself was an extremely cool dude, but in every other respect other than number of vampires it loses out to the worst matrix movie. also the vampire characters were all boring.
to be clear, it was good. i am just rolling my eyes at wikipedia and other things characterizing it as a horror film
this was not a horror film. there being a ghost does not in itself make the thing be horror!
