Yeah, things just get stupider and stupider. I’m having flashbacks to when The Social Network was announced, cos that confused me terribly back then… the idea of a film about Facebook to be made by David Fincher struck me then as being as silly and perplexing as the idea of a film about Oolong Husk to be made by Darren Aronofsky… and I can’t escape the feeling the Oolong film will turn out to be much like the Zuck film, albeit probably without the critical plaudits the latter somehow earned; it’ll be perfectly well made but all the characters will be shit, especially the lead one. Indeed, in the review I wrote of it many years ago, I actually said this:
The film suddenly tries to humanise him near the end, but it rings false, as up to then we’ve only seen him as, basically, a charmless, graceless prick who’s kind of ultimately driven by spite over being dumped by a girl.
And I already feel that if I ever watch this putative film I will be able to use that exact same sentence in a review of it at some point.
In other news, Oolong has unveiled the, er, corporate logo for Cybertruck:
Spotted on Bluesky, with the poster brilliantly describing it as “almost wholly illegible and looks like it was scratched on a wall by a tweaker”. Oof. But then someone else also noticed you can read the logo another way:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. Once you know, it’s impossible not to see the KKK in there. Oof again, and then some.
