“Monkey Man” was shot and completed in 2021, and Netflix soon after acquired the rights for around $30 million, but it’s been on the shelf for three years and they‘ve all of a sudden decided to get rid of it? What gives? It turns out, according to an in-the-know source, that it was the portrayal of a fictional right-wing Hindu Nationalist character in the film that worried Netflix about their future dealings in India. And even though they had paid more than twice the production cost, they decided to give the film back to the producers, which is what caused the long delay. Universal and Peele eventually took a particular liking to the film, so much so that they suggested possible editing changes and delayed the release until what they thought would be the right date. It’s as simple as that. In the end, it was all about politics and optics for the streaming giant, especially since India has become the current top growth market for Netflix. Co-Founder Reed Hastings has mentioned that a majority of the service's next 100 million subscribers would most likely come from India.

Love this emoji so much
happy opening day to old people who keep score in the stands, field pigeons who harrass outfielders during play, snack shack workers, ticket takers, lesbians on game day dates, girls who play on Little League teams, cotton candy hawkers, whoever repairs and replaces the lightbulbs in stadium lights, radio board operators, shitty bisexual stadium DJs, non-American players, transgender fans of all kinds, field maintenance workers who trip pulling the tarp up, abysmal first pitch throwers, Renel Brooks-Moon, people who take the bus, train, or ferry to games, my boyfriend, first time fans, lifelong fans, diva pitchers, diva shortstops, guys who sell hotdogs and merch on the sidewalk after games, minor leaguers, college softball players who are better than all baseball players but never get paid for their contributions to the sport, seagulls who shit on people and then take their french fries, umpires who get silly with it calling strikes, camera operators, stadium janitors, and you.
food sensitivity test...since when is being ok with bleu cheese comparable to eating bread or jelly that has mold on it? the cheese mold is a domesticated creature that we care for and replicate in exchange for making us funny snacks. I know her and I trust her. mold on a fruit could be anybody

im near the end of roadside picnic, which is very clearly inspired by anxieties about nuclear power and nuclear waste, and ive reached a scene where a businessman who trades in goods acquired from the 'visitation zones' is visiting the home of an infamous 'stalker' (or, someone who enters the zones in order to retrieve alien technology/objects). theyre having a drink at his kitchen table, and sharing the space with two others: the stalker's daughter, who is covered in fur and who has seemingly little to no understanding about the humans around her, and the stalker's father, who is an animated corpse that was compelled to return to this apartment some time after his death.
these two inhuman humans are interesting to me as a way of looking back at tlt and specifically alecto. in roadside picnic, they represent our unquiet progenitors which embody the death that comes for us as well and our corrupted progeny which cannot be understood or accepted as a legacy or a means by which we can insure our future. i think alecto, as both the earth and john's death (the embodied apocalypse, former and future), is able to take on both symbols -- walking corpse and human-shaped nonhuman. i dont rly have a conclusive thought abt this, im talking just to talk, but it does seem like further evidence (if we even needed it) that alecto can be read through cultural anxieties about nuclear waste and that her forced marriage to john is demonstrative of the way imperial structures invent and store byproducts of the violence they use to power their conquest.
and hast thou slain the jabberwock?
