have been struggling through a busy period feeling pretty under par, so not been watching as much as usual:

Kelly Reischart does moving lo-fi indie realism
Jacques Tourneur goes noir
Charlie Chaplin goes sound
Jacques Audiard does horny Parisian thirtysomethings

My mom, who has similar issues to me, solved this by combining an Assistant Director role with a Personal Assistant role. For decades she's been paying twenty and thirtysomethings a salary to orbit her and remember things so she doesn't have to. If I'm honest I really need that

VP Vance says hey now, lay off the racist young republicans. That chat was “just kids being kids” so they shouldn’t be penalized just for being “dumb.” Um. Huh? They are adults. WH staffers. Thirtysomethings. One chat participant is a sitting State Senator.

The people calling these thirtysomethings white men "young boys" are the same ones who always want to try Black and Hispanic adolescents (and pre-adolescents!) who are accused of crimes as adults.
These “young boys” are men in their 30s.

Real men in their 30s don’t tell Holocaust and rape jokes, because they aren’t funny.

Two thirtysomethings make their relationship everyone else's problem in 1980s NYC.
A handful of people on a leaky boat are going to save the world.
Describe a movie in the most prosaic way possible while still conveying the basic gist:

An autistic dude does people's taxes and assassinates people.

IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY bringing back the teenagers from its first episode as burnt out thirtysomethings is hitting me right in my soul's solar plexus.

They need a modern version of Go Gaia role-playing that's just thirtysomethings hanging out.

Made a little 21+ jayvik discord with a friend because I’m old and scared of current fandom spaces and wanted to yell about fictional thirtysomethings with other old farts.
If you’re interested feel free to comment or DM and I can send you an invite!

Also: one of the first guitar albums by early mixed queer/straight thirtysomethings to address AIDS at least as subtext.

More thirtysomethings moaning about the parents they live with is what we need imo

47. SONIC YOUTH - “Teen Age Riot”

Pouring one out for my 1988 self, taping his first Festive Fifty off the radio and trying to figure out these strange sounds, including this song by thirtysomethings about the electric feeling that something might happen

Summer '14, and a generation of twenty- and younger thirtysomethings, many of whom had been instrumental in forming what had become known as 'footballtwitter', awaited the first South American World Cup of their lives. It felt big, and what was needed was a rousing anthem...

bluesky, the only website ive ever sent with a massive generation gap between cringey thirtysomethings and cringey fortysomethings

imo this article is as much about “thirtysomethings being forced to grow up and deal with the ever-increasing burdens of adult responsibility” generally than it is about the burdens of children specifically, but framing it as being about the children keeps it from engaging with that fully

Love to see a dynamic, 73-year-old Jean Smart win the Golden Globe for HACKS in a category of mainly thirtysomethings. Get used to it. #GoldenGlobes

but the Triple Secret Expanded Universe Irony is that all this tedious allegorizing and hermeneuticizing we do as frustrated thirtysomethings is just us trying to refurbish the childish conceit that we are the Good Guys and ~they~ are the bad guys--the very conceit that star wars exists to demolish

Man merkt schon ein bisschen, dass da eine ganze Generation meinungsstarker Thirtysomethings, die stolz darauf ist, nie deutsches Fernsehen geschaut, ja nie auch nur eine sychronisierte Serie gesehen zu haben, in die Institutionen eingerückt ist

hot and cool thirtysomethings are looking like a vision on a friday night in neon running shorts and a t-shirt with a giant fish on the back

But truly what good did Facebook ever do--should we count stoking a genocide (and now a second one), learning white people would watch a live murder and still swear someone had it coming, launching ten thousand MLMs, turning thirtysomethings into creatures without innermost thoughts? He is cancer!
