“You are what you think about” — Earl Nightingale

TL;DR: Enter the Nerd Cave

Movies

I love movies. Art depicted in visual, creative styles just hits different. Check out my Letterboxd for the full list.

A few favorites: Interstellar, Inception, Tenet, The Dark Knight, V for Vendetta, A Clockwork Orange, The Shawshank Redemption, Oppenheimer, Oldboy, 1984 (my analysis).

Art

It’s a weird feeling, having great respect for old paintings when you know you can generate hundreds of images with Stable Diffusion that are technically more polished. But these aren’t here for technical merit. They’re here because I want them to.
