Description

The Possum tells you about Whalefall, a movie about a guy who gets swallowed by a whale and talks to himself so you know what's happening like it's a stupid Netflix movie written bad on purpose because they think you're not paying attention, and they're probably right because you would have finished that novel of yours by now if your attention span wasn't fried by short-form video content. If you're able to read this, then congratulations, you have an IQ slightly higher than the bottom quintile our society is built to accommodate. How does it make you feel to know that everything around you is terrible because it has to cater to idiots? Doesn't feel too good, does it? I thought not. But you know what does feel good? The dopamine hit you would get from buying whatever product I would be shilling if I had a sponsor, but I don't have one because that would require me to interact with someone, and that someone might be the type of person who enjoys movies like Whalefall.
