I really like parapolitical weirdness and am also generally pretentious as hell.in regard to art in general. Ask me what I think about Andy or whatever (he’s a whole town and a beacon of light)

      Love it. It’s a deeply intimate exploration of violence and grief as well ad a few other emotions and how or media created the cultural framework for how it’s expressed and how thst relationship effects people and it takes a very unflinching view of the beauty and ugliness within American culture with the acknowledgment there’s a deep grotesquery that exists behind any beauty that can make itself shown in such a deeply bloodstained land. It’s coffee and cherry pie and a man beating his wife wife soap in a sock in the same episode with the sa.e sincerity. It’s the highest of hope contracted with the deepest darkness and it’s expressed in absolutely striking ways.

      Also James. James has always been cool.

        Also James. James has always been cool.

        That line is the worst part of the return. Not only has James never been cool, but Shelley Johnson would absolutely never think he was cool.

        It’s also my favorite lone from the Return and I quote it constantly lol
