“American Movie”

Nothing summarizes the dream of freedom and creativity of the human species in the face of incompetency like “American Movie”

A documentary about a couple of regular dudes trying to make a horror movie

I too want to be vaporised. Or even worse they decide to try and participate in our traditions.

[-] kozel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

L'Arroseur Arrosé. That will show them not to block the sunlight with their ship.

(It would also show them our love for beauty, aour dependency on water, sense of humour and sense for justice.)

Teaching them our sense for justice worries me. Either they understand we can police ourselves or they start holding us accountable for wrongdoings under their legal system with no warning, assuming we'll understand.

Something meaningful from Robin Williams. The Fisher King comes to mind.
