Lounge of Justice - Part 90

[Consona]

What an absolute quack to tell you something like that. I'm glad you are doing better.

Hi harle.

I was surprised how "frank" she was, but... she heard what I had had to say and said her honest opinion. It didn't feel offensive but I wasn't expecting that either.

Thanks. I'm taking sedatives before going to sleep which helps. I had this PTSD insomnia lasting several months, now when I'm under pills I feel like I could sleep all night and day. Going from extreme to extreme, but feeling slightly better. I'm still waiting for the meds to take their full effect. Life's crazy. I'm starting to rethink a lot of things.

Mr Scorsese and co doing their best to heal Consona this week

His theme park comment was spot on. I disagree about MCU not being cinema but definitely understand what did he meant by that. Seeing Coppola saying Martin was too kind was even funnier.

Better than anything any doc can prescribe.

i miss consona

Oh, come here, darling!

(No homo)

 

[Consona]

I also miss Consona.

Awww

(Also no homo)

 

[Greenlite]

cannot unsee now

 

[Consona]

Just kidding, come back CONSONA!!!!! it’s not nearly as interesting around here without you

Some people just know quality when they experience it.

jk

So what do you have to say to provoke me to post something stupid, Chippie?

@Consona
Wow, here's hoping the worst is behind you.

 

[Aurakles]

Also @Consona wanted to recommend Man of Steel Answers Insight Commentary – MOSAIC of DC Cinematic Universe topics great podcast about MOS / BVS.

'As you know, madness is like gravity...all it takes is a little push.'

That's why Nolan and Snyder resonate with me, they know what they are talking about. Sometimes I think what their life experiences are like. Nolan seems like an orderly guy, yet his films are about highly obsessive men. Watching Prestige feels like I'm watching my alternative reality biopic.
Same with Batfleck. His 1% speech is so perfect depiction of an obsessive anxious mind.

Can't wait for the Snyder Cut. #PowerfulArt

Wow, thx, I'll definitely check that out.

 

[Greenlite]

Interesting how this is not getting outraged like the other movie counterparts

 

[flickchick85]

Nice to see you back, @Consona. Very sorry to hear about everything you've been dealing with. Hope it's brighter days ahead for you.

Sorry to hear that, Consona. I can only imagine what that feels like.

Hello, flickchick.

Thank you. I bet you were missing my mod-duties-enriching presence.

Hello, flickchick.

Thank you. I bet you were missing my mod-duties-enriching presence.

Things have certainly been less interesting without you.

 

[Consona]

Sorry to hear that, Consona. I can only imagine what that feels like.

Yea, it's...

Had to take some dramatic precautions to avoid all the potential stressors (which you realistically can't but to some extent it can be done), and then it got somewhat better. The worst thing is. It's in your head. You can't escape it anywhere. And it's there whatever you do. 95% of your waking hours, when you go to sleep, when you sleep you dream about it so you wake after some few hours of sleep up stressed out, sleepy yet unable to fall asleep, just to think about it the next whole buy, day in, day out, week in, week out, month in, month out,... It's really crazy. I'm surprised I can talk about that this easily now. Hope I won't dream about it tonight.

People can't see inside your head, you can hide it for some time, until you can't function anymore. You can't put a morsel of anything inside your mouth without an immediate gag reflex kickin' in, you have uncontrollable bursts into tears, you're just a wreck. Full of The feeling of powerlessness...

So... some funny stories to cheer this place up.

 

[Aurakles]

Say @Consona did you see Dark Phoenix? I was obsessed with Zimmers score for it.

I haven't seen it yet. I've heard some snippets and felt to me like Zimmer on an autopilot/his acolytes. But gonna check it, if you say you liked it.

 

[Consona]

Have to go sleep. See ya later, guys.

Not his best work, but I enjoyed it. A bit like the film in general, not one of the best X-Men films, but certainly not one of the worst.
(Would have been interested to see the original version of it...)

Christian Bale talks ‘Ford v Ferrari’, the films that got away, Batman and his real dream job

Alright, time for a Batman question. Looking back on that trilogy, did you envision that what you and Chris Nolan were doing could reinvent the comic book movie genre in such a lasting way?

We knew we had to reinvent it. I literally had people laugh at me when I told them we were doing a new kind of Batman. I think that the reason it worked was first and foremost Chris’ take on it.

But also we never were arrogant to assume that we had an opportunity beyond one film at a time. That’s something that Chris always would talk about. He’d say, “This is it. We’re making one film. That’s all we’ve got.”

Then when they came and said, “You want to go make another?” It was fantastic, but we still said, “This is it. We will not get another opportunity.”

Then they came and they said, “OK, let’s do a third one.”

Chris had always said to me that if we were fortunate to be able to make three we would stop. “Let’s walk away after that,” he said.

Then when they inevitably came to us and said, “How about a No. 4?” I said, “No. We have to stick to Chris’ dream, which was always to, hopefully, do a trilogy. Let’s not stretch too far and become overindulgent and go for a fourth.”

That’s why we, well Chris, stepped away. After that I was informed my services were no longer required (laughs).

I always knew they were going for a series if possible, in some way, but focus on one film at a time, now the star finally came out and said it.

all that "never thinking beyond this film" from bloggers are PR stuff

The Return of a King

welcome back, consona

 

[Arachnerd]

I really couldn't see a Batman 4 working unless it focused on Blake as the new Batman. Bruce's story was finished.

Over here it's called Le Mans '66 instead of Ford v Ferrari

I know you haven't been specific on what you've been going through (don't know if the ptsd comment was literal or not), but therapy has come along way with somatic approaches that get to the route of the nervous system where trauma is stored (EMDR and quite a few others).

 

[Black Narcissus]

Any new @Black Narcissus prose about me, Snyder, Nolan and MCU****s?

Consona with no other exit from the streets, decides to become a gigolo. His tiny short drug addicted italian pimp (Michelo) is nice to him, but he sometimes yells profanities in the middle of the night, he often falls asleep in Consona's arms.

Michelo: Ah, ok, our next client was a former movie star in the 60s.
Consona: Really?! Who?
Michelo: Honor Blackman.
Consona: Let me look her up....Damn...She is 94 years old, man!
Michelo: She is still better than the previous one.
Consona: I don't think I can do this.
MIchelo: She was in Goldfinger!
Consona: Yeah, but she seems closer on the other side than the living.
MIchelo: Relax, friend, just watch Goldfinger before your date. Think of her as she was.

Consona: She was 36 in Goldfinger? Man, she was hot. Still older then me today. Of course I wasn't even born when Goldfinger was made.
Michelo: Take a shot of hotsauce and that should get you through.
Consona: but..
Michelo: She already wired the cash and I give no refunds, now quit your stalling and make sweet, sweet love to Miss Galore.

Consona with a tear on his cheek gets ready as he watched himself in the mirror. A white cowboy hat and a coat with no shirt completes his outfit. He takes one last look in the mirror as he ponders the silence in the room and walks towards the abyss.

Don't you worry baby
No sense tryin' to change it
I'ma strike these matches
Never had control
I'm ready to let go
Was I fooling myself
I'ma spread these ashes
Never had control
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to let go
