tbh it is funny to me that a lot of sunny fans are like “the gang should never use modern technology, the video should always be grainy and they should always use flip phones!” and i do agree with that in many ways (eg., aesthetically, spiritually) but the thing is that when the show started in 2005, grainy videos and flip phones WERE modern technology. so the show and the characters have always been using modern technology, that’s not a new thing. we just have trouble seeing it like that today because those episodes are almost 2 decades old now lmao
like yeah, the video quality of the first episodes was lower than other tv shows at the time, but it wasn’t crazy low. and it probably wouldn’t have been noticeable if you watched it on an average tv from 2005. and a lot of other shows from that era have been remastered, i think, but for whatever reason that didn’t happen with sunny.
like i do wish the video was still grainy and the sound was still poorly balanced etc. i think the show lives there in its heart of hearts. but when i think about it…part of the appeal of that aesthetic is the feeling of survival. like they had to do it that way because they had no other choice. it’s actually quite easy (well, relatively) these days to film something at a higher quality than those first seasons of sunny. you can do it with most modern smartphones phone and a cheap mic. so if sunny was still grainy and low quality, that would have to be an intentional choice. to me it wouldn’t have the feeling of survival anymore. which is the entire appeal of the low quality aesthetic. does that make sense?
@dennisboobs @ghoulanthr0 @dammitradar these are all very good points as well!!! you’re right, they definitely do have a mix of old and new technology. can’t believe i forgot about the range rover. lmao and the waitress doesn’t have online! she doesn’t do the emails! her phone is from the 90s! and dennis is like WHY IS YOUR PHONE FROM THE 90s?! bitch your whole CAR is from 1994, get over it 🙄

this thing looks like a coral but is made of a single cell and is more closely related to malaria. ok. fine. whatever.
lmao project runway season 12 has a guy with a cochlear implant and he said he’s not worried about anyone getting on his nerves because if they start he’ll just turn the device off.
Some other guys got into a screaming match and this guy stayed true to his word

I can’t stop thinking about this message, so I spent a while trying to isolate just the writing and make it transparent. I might order a shirt with it
Whoever in Clackamas wrote this message on their bus stop, I love you

very high concentration of good dialogue in this 30 sec clip
also a very high concentration of gems in the notes
i have “love shack” by the b-52s stuck in my head, and i really have no idea why but my brain keeps replacing the words “love shack” with “whale fall”
it doesn’t even rhyme but spiritually and emotionally it still kind of slaps
