:wut:
is the boobery here in the room with us right now?
Someone put this in google translate please
He's saying that the reaction to the movie Beau is Afraid is very similar to the reaction to the movie Mother! And is a sign that critics are hacks pretending to be intellectuals
Oh cool beau is afraid looks good. Never heard of it before.
pseu pseu pseudio
I'll translate: "Beau Is Afraid" is a 2023 surrealist tragicomedy horror film. It has received some negative feedback from online talking heads. Matt notes that "Mother!", a 2017 movie with some surreal similarities, also received negative feedback from similar sources. He opines that those opinions are whack.
I see
I do boobery with my wife 
He's totally correct about Beau is Afraid, too. We really are so back

"boobery" hehe
I really have to resist the impulse to like, romanticize the phraseology of his post-stroke tweets as being a signifier of some kind, as if he is an embodiment of the zeitgeist playing out some sympathetic echo of the grand dialectical negation of the artifice of decorum that has defined the end-of history, a narratively engaging, jokerfying second-act ordeal for the epochal Christ-man synecdoche-messiah to eventually transcend.
The wording of this tweet is acrually pretty similar to some of his pre-stroke tweets. It just reads less coherent because of a few typos a omitted words, but I think he's verbatim tweeted "philistinism, boobery, and all other kinds of pseuds" before.
i'Ve been Stroke-posting's n solidarity with chrisman.
Its got the feel going on. The ability of the brain to heal itself after a traumatic event or injury is amazing.
I was just thinking about how I never watched Mother! Is it good? I like Aronofsky in general (the Fountain is one of my faves) but I'm not much of a movie-head these days.
I liked it at first but
spoiler
when I realized it's just a Bible allegory, I couldn't really pay attention to the movie itself and it just became "what is this a reference to / the next reference?" in my head and it got very boring to watch. It seemed like things just happened because they had to for the allegory to exist
Its well made and it goes preeeeetty far so it should certainly make you feel things. What should be subtext is all in your face and split in two sides that conflict with each other so it feels weird and annoying.
By comparison the fountain has an amazing soundtrack, original looking fx and a straightforward theme and plot.
I'd take his "pseudso-intellectual" ramblings more seriously if he remember proper grammar and punctuation. Kind of hard to take it seriously when he misses a space and a capitalisation of Arnofsky, and follows up two exclamation makes with a comma. What does that even mean? Is it like, exclaiming something very loudly, then pausing for a moment to catch their breath afterwards? Is that what !!, means?
Matt Christman had a stroke in September 2023. He's still recovering.
I didn't know that, I'm sorry to hear that, I wasn't aware he had typing difficulties.
Only reason I'm holding my tongue about Ari Aster's shit fucking film in this thread
I appreciate people calling me out on being a dipshit.
The movie's title was stylized as Mother!, with the exclamation
Glad to see he's recovering well enough to post more coherent complete thoughts now
Is this a bit?
Nope, just an idiot.
