Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 3h🤯 I’m so performanceartlor+digger-pilled right now. 010
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 3hInnaritu intended for us to process the movie through the lens that Tom Cruise specifically is playing the role of someone who is playing the role of Digger. 030
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 3hTom Cruise is Digger. Taylor Swift is the Man. 272
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 6hOh also, I wonder if fire is catching because liar liar pants on fire. If I’m on fire (if I’m a liar) then you are reacting to lies / so you are just ash. 170
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Here is @invisiblethemes.bsky.social ‘s brilliant video @treepaineburner.bsky.social 062
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Oh I do! Thank you I was scrolling and missed the pinned ❤️ 020
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026one narrator experiences that ascent as exploitation while the other understands it as a necessary part of the journey 030
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The poet sees the manipulator for what they are, climbing over people “like me” … from the showgirl’s perspective it was simply ice on the ladder she needed to climb 130
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The poet trapped inside the showgirl melodramatically performing guilt around the upcoming deception only for the showgirl to prance out on stage and do it with glee. It’s like which one is the actor am I right 0121
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026And it works on so many levels because the audience are the fools, but so is she, because she has convinced herself this is how to get people to love her in this toxic relationship between her split selves and the “audience” …the crowd is king vs. the coward claimed he was a lion. 150
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The poet manufactures the love story. The performer, is simply concerned with delivering a dazzling and believable performance. Loss of my life: the performer’s unwillingness to give up the role for the poet who is tortured by it. The poets greatest source of guilt: Loving the show. 270
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026She warned everyone she was going to blow in with the winds of fate and tell us she was reformed or saved…she told us she was going to manipulate us under the guise of “fate” 150
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The manipulator in loml is a con man who sells get love quick schemes. The showgirl in Cleveland genuinely believes she is in love, because they are committed to the bit. She’s playin it straight 😉The poet 🎭 and the performer 1130
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Para ::dies:: Para…From the Greek root para-, meaning "at the side of" or parallel Paradise having a double meaning itself, where you are either awaiting judgement (already dead) or in a place of bliss 010
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 12/10/2026My favorite 10/11. In midnights she is using her breath to calm hersself down. But imagine a giant doing that…ordinary exhalation becomes an enormous cloud of smoke, moving with the force of a freight train. The giant’s breath is a small town natural disaster. 010
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 11/10/2026@invisiblethemes.bsky.social I have a memory of a TikTok you made a long time ago in regards to understanding subtext. You compared it to someone making obvious pothead references and it going over the person’s head. 2240
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Reception of Digger especially by those who have only seen clips is fascinating. It really is like being a gaylor. 010
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Thiiiiiiiiiiiis is the love of my life ⭐️ 0141

Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Digger spoilers but I had a feeling this was going to make sense… 040
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I always think of “casting” spells in that willow part. Like casting roles for performance art is like casting spells on the audience. And then in FOO we see “50 in the cast ( ) missteps” … both showing 2 different types of cast… and then we also get into “typecasting” and “typewriting” 141
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The movie that inspired AD’s black swan 👀 psychological thriller about a pop star 🪞 youtu.be/RrWausp8zDQ?...youtu.bePERFECT BLUE Remastered | Official 4K TrailerYouTube video by GKIDS Films 010
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 08/10/2026@the7wivesofrh.bsky.social you can’t “run” the story if you bury the lede. And a lost fearless “lede” - the central point of the story being lost.static.klipy.comTaylor Swift Rises as ZombieALT: Taylor Swift Rises as Zombie 000
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Honeyyyy. You give it different meaning cause you mean it when you talk 🧑🍳💋 love this 120
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Also they were photographed at Torrisi last night, which is in the Puck building 😬 030
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yessss I also have been talking about how she is Puck from MSND. An agent of chaos. If we shadows have offended… 010
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Oh thank you the number of eyeballs does correlate to how much I enjoyed learning this 140
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think thanking DP was sincere but also honoring someone who is no longer with us with a showgirl/songwriting legacy is poignant after the video we just watched 🪦 that’s a real legacy to leave. “Fake” persona, “real” legacy…to leave 1101
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 28/09/2026In Rebecca, the narrator constructs a story about who Rebecca was based on artifacts in the house she “haunted.”when she learns the real story, she learns her husband was the murderer, and their relationship was not the love story she made up in her head. 030
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Oh hi! O The intro to the TV SHOW is oHIo @the7wivesofrh.bsky.social 281
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Where I “pace in my pen” vs. the ink getting louder. The pen starting to come out of its…pen. 021
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It was a little ghost dog, with a faint little bark, And a jack-o'-lantern nose that glowed in the dark. It was Jack's dog, Zero, the best friend he had, But Jack hardly noticed, which made Zero sad. 010
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I need to get something off my chest and I have nowhere else to put it… Sequins are 5eva because 4ever’s too short we’re gonna be famous 3gether but I never had 2. Tell me 4 real do you think it’s 5eva. 041
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The Sham Rock Holdings of it all. The Your Sham Pain problems fit in the Palm of your freezing hand of it all. The Give it up for the Band of it all. 0131
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 19/09/2026For example the English teacher might not outright tell you why an author keeps mentioning doors, or what all those exit signs mean! But they might ask you why YOU think that, and ask you to question your assumptions about the door to begin with. So you learn to think critically 1131
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 19/09/2026An english teacher teaches you how to read subtext because the world has subtext. They teach you to question the surface story because reading beneath the surface matters beyond the books you read in class. The teacher isn’t condescending, they want the student to “learn to see” the world. 1173
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 19/09/2026In The Sixth Sense, Cole reveals early that dead people don’t know they’re dead, so the ending isn’t a twist, per se. It’s a lesson Malcolm needs to learn, despite clues hiding in plain sight. Taylor is playing a similar role to Cole, except she’s teaching her audience how to read subtext. 0110
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The Truman show: “what if the world literally did revolve around one person…and everyone actually was lying to him?” Taylor’s version: “what if the world literally did revolve around one person 😉…and she actually was lying to everyone?” 2253
Dr. StrangeGeorge @drstrangegeorge.bsky.social · 19/09/2026When you aren’t true to yourself, you are a sell out (traitor). You compromise your integrity for money (trader). Nothing good can come out of performing a fake relationship, because you are abandoning your true self…and “traders” or “sellouts” never win. 030
