turns out there are exactly 33 good movies

hm, maybe should have added the Lego Movie

@wallhackio In college I wrote a paper putting Snowpiercer and The Lego Movie in contrast as two vehicles for popular revolution

@coriander care to elaborate?

@wallhackio The gist was that both films look at corruption in existing power structures and determine that something must be done to change things. The Lego Movie argues for an incremental, reformist process, taking the same building blocks (or bricks, in this case), dismantling what exists, and building something new with the same materials. Snowpiercer, on the other hand, looks at the systems in place and argues that the only way forward is to blow the train completely off the tracks.

@coriander you are so smart and cool

@wallhackio Honestly part of why I kinda want to go back to college for some postgrad work is so I can work on being smart again, I don't know if I could write that paper right now lmao
