The Mystical Man

I'd recommend playing it first.

"Bellow, bid our father the sea king rise from the depths, full foul in his fury! Black waves, teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime. To choke ye! Engorging your organs, til ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more. Only when he, crowned in cockle shells, with slithering tentacle tail and steaming beard, take up his fell befitted arm, his coral-tined trident screaming banshee like in the tempest, and plunges right through your gullet. Bursting ye! A bloated bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now a nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to pick, and claw, and feed upon, only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself. Forgotten! To any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea. For any stuff or part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now, itself, the sea!" "I’m tired of your damn fool yarns and your Captain Ahab horseshit. You sound like a goddamn parody. Giving and nagging orders like a spinster schoolmarm, and all the while turning this station to the devil's own rum-hole. It’s all horseshit! Your leg, your sea life, all of it! And if I hear one more word of horseshit coming out of your foul, rotten toothed, smelly old mouth... Shut it! I ain’t finished yet! You think you’re so goddamn high and mighty just because you’re a goddamn lighthouse keeper? Well you ain’t a captain of no ship and you never was! You ain’t no general, you ain’t no copper, you ain’t the president, and you ain’t my father! And I’m sick of you acting like you is. Sick of your laugh, snoring, and your goddamn farts. Your goddamn... goddamn farts! You smell like piss. You smell like jism, like rotten dick. Like curdled foreskin. Like hot onions fucked a farmyard shithouse. I’m sick of your smell, I’m sick of it, I’m sick of it you goddamned drunk, you goddamned no account son of a bitch bastard liar! That’s what you are! You’re a goddamned drunkard, horseshitting, short, shit liar! A liar!”

A good film by Robert Eggers, director of "The Witch": The cinematography and the sound design are great. But what makes this movie worth watching are the phenomenal performances by Dafoe and Pattinson. This film is especially good for fans of Moby-Dick.

This month we have the power of Jesus on our side.

Would watch. That could work.

@UnbornTao I'll wait until the whole season has aired. Can't wait to see how they will adapt Part II. There's an Uncharted movie, but I don't feel inclined to watch it. I think TLoU can work well as a TV show, because it's already like a TV show, but Uncharted was meant to be played.

Semen retention and gym motivation: One more day of abstinence. One more rep.

More people need to know about Greg Haines. He's amazing.

Semen retention is absolutely necessary. Self-improvement has to happen in the context of abstaining from masturbation and going to the gym. Semen retention combined with the gym is a superpower.

Somebody needs to do this with The Sopranos.

"You can't stop change any more than you can stop the suns from setting." -- Shmi Skywalker 20 years of storytelling to carve out this juggernaut of a character.

I love that motif at 5:35. Very subtle but beautiful: The world will never see anything like the combined genius of Lucas and Williams again.

What do we say to the dark lord of lust?

When I'm at my limits at the gym, I think of this scene:

Another good film by Robert Eggers: Visually stunning. Powerful soundtrack. Great cast. It's a more traditional Archplot with a clear inciting incident, progressive complications, and a satisfying climax. "The story of The Northman was based primarily on the legend of Amleth as written by Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus, known as the direct inspiration for William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Eggers cited the Poetic Edda, the Prose Edda, Egil's Saga, Grettir's Saga, the Eyrbyggja saga and the Saga of Hrolfr Kraki as additional influences. Eggers also acknowledged Conan the Barbarian as a source of inspiration." - Wikipedia Eggers' other film, which is more a Miniplot/Antiplot: I can't wait to see what Eggers does next.

I think that's a Lighthouse reference ?
