Yall. Saw some bro wearing a VHS tape around his neck, kinda like a necklace. I remember when bros used 2 wear record hats, other alts wore cassette tape necklaces, and some other bro wore a postcard necklace. I wonder what movie he has around his neck. Probs something like The Goonies or Getting Even With Dad or something zany like Pete & Pete Bros. Would be pretty authentic if he had something like ‘a snuff film’ around his neck, or maybe some sort of vulnerable childhood film that u could show 2 people that ur in a relationship with 2 make them ‘feel closer’ 2 u.
Need 2 convert more dated technology into ‘fashionable items.’ Might start wearing a USB drive around my neck, like I work in the IT industry.
Feel weird when people ‘watch movies’ and ‘love them.’ Sort of feel sad when I see bins of DVDs for $2 each, especially when I used to think that ‘the movie experience was valuable.’ Wonder where the magic of the movies went? Wonder what the carbon footprint of ‘the movie industry’ is. Probably almost as bad as driving a car or something.
I might just paint a mural of every single alt/authentic/quirky-core movie character who has ever been in some sort of relevant indie film / ‘cult classic’ / dark comedy.
Who would yall put on ur ‘dream mural’ of every relevant character?
Would all of the Tenenbaums fit on ur mural?
Would the ‘fucking stupid Mexi’ from Napoleon Dynamite ‘make the cut’?
Would any African Americans be on ur mural?
Should I get a tattoo that says ‘CriterionCollecBro’?

the movie where the girl from ‘married with children’
she is babysitting, or something, and someone dies
then there’s a party
an ice cream person pursues the girl romantically or something
but the girl has a facade or something

that man looks like he’d never stop talking about himself.
even right now, his expression is pained because he has had to take a tiny pause from telling someone about himself.

@dankface, kinda confused by the ‘personal brand’ he’s going for. is it ‘look as retarded as possible in order to ward off any potential interaction w/ ch1x?’
think this guy is a grad student in comp.lit. at nyu. think he loves slavoj zizek.’ the combination of american flag-as-scarf with colonial jacket is probably a metaphor for american imperialism [via american flag manufactured in french micronesia [meta-metaphor?]]
the video around neck is probably a comment on the increasingly blurred line between ‘movies slash art’ and ‘real life’ and in particular ‘the 80s’ [via obsolete technology].
daffy duck ‘expressions’ shirt is a commentary on how we take ‘cues on everyday behavior’ from ‘fictional characters that are embedded in our culture.’

@tragedy in toyland,
yeah man. so sad good 80s movies like blade runner will never be on DVD. but i think Jean-François Lyotard once said “VHS is more cool anyways dudes.”

What is the grey heart-shaped fur pillow with the yellow sash in the foreground of that painting? I can only recognize about half of those memes. Ronald Reagan?
