Pitch Meeting for that film about the valley romance thing.

Edit: Was interested in this film, but don't have Apple TV, so might as well watch the Pitch Meeting.

I have long suspected that taxidermy is a gateway drug to serial murder.

Not just Psycho, Taxidermy Is Creepy is a trope after all.

I counted 11 catch phrases in that video! I think it's a new record!

Dang, he's going for the more obscure ones (at least for me).

Left out the fact that you need to update your system so you can connect online so you can update the game.

And then need to restart and are told you need to update the system.

That was already a previous video. This one is specifically about your brain not letting you enjoy stuff.

I strongly identify with this video, although I've been gaming my whole life and turning off the intrusive thoughts is a lot easier than for Ryan here.

The cost of these houses are ridiculous. I mean, take a million dollar house. Is the 55 million dollar house in this video 55 times better and/or larger than the average 1 million dollar house? Not that spending a million in a house is necessarily a good idea, unless you're loaded, but I feel it's at least relatively better value for money than these monstrosities.

We all know the answer: they're status symbols — ways to show off your power, influence, and wealth through conspicuous consumption. It's been that way since ancient kings commissioned vast palaces and tombs for themselves. It's not "lol capitalizm sux", in case anyone was going there, it's just how people are.

At least palaces and tombs actually look impressive. If you showed me one of the houses in this video, I wouldn't think "Not my cup of tea, but an impressive display of money", I'd think "You paid that much for this?" It's not just the lack of quality, though that's part of it, but these houses simply don't look worth their cost. They aren't that much larger or ornate than, say, a 5 million dollar house.

[up]x4 God, that just brings me back to Tommy Tallarico's monstrosity of a mansion in San Juan Capistrano with all the insanely tacky rooms and decor. Whoever bought that house is almost undoubtedly stuck doing a fuckton of renovating to make that house even halfway decent.

Spending money on property has diminishing returns past a certain point. You can only make your apartment so high up, your ceilings so tall, or your garage so big before it stops being practical and becomes ineffective as a status symbol. Even if you own multiple acres and have billions, there is a limit to how big you are going to make your pool.

That's why rich people own multiple homes or start having weird fetishes (in the platonic use of the word). Because, they can keep collecting more and more of them without the same limits. It's also why a lot of rich people start to value location over house size. They will spend forty million for a place on Star Island in Florida because the location is filled with other rich people.

[up][up][up]Though I wouldn't be surprised if people back in the days those palaces and tombs were built actually thought they were tacky too.

But y'know. Gotta keep seeking validation.

Of course, the super rich don't just build tacky homes. Instead they build their own tacky personal rockets like Bezos.

[up]x2

We have letters about how people might have viewed certain, at the time contemporary monuments (it's fun reading about how many people hated the Eiffel Tower when it went up). Sadly, we can't actually go back and really see how people felt about the social and aesthetic qualities of the tombs, palaces, and monuments around them.

But, this is a look at what is happening now and it's to me kind of amusing in a ironic way. Because, I know those houses are worth a lot and the owners want people to be dazzled, but they're also kind of tacky/bland. It lets me wonder is this a unique phenomena because we now live in an age of mass production and logistics where any rich person can do whatever they want or is this a common idea or if there are more factors at work.

Nah, it's been happening forever. Maybe the "cheapness" aspect to the very expensive homes is more recent, but just look at photos from the Gilded Age of the crazy mansions that rich folk used to build. Or read The Great Gatsby.

[up][up] The most famous is Guy de Maupassant who famously said that he liked the restaurant on top because it's the only one in Paris where you can't see the Tower.

It's worth pointing out that the Eiffel Tower wasn't intended to be a permanent landmark. It was meant to stand only for 20 years and then be disassembled. It's one of the reason it has a giant ongoing struggle with corrosion. It wasn't meant to last this long, and has been such a famous landmark governments have been kind of keeping maintenance to a bare minimum because no one wants to be the guy that closes the thing entirely for the kind of maintenance it actually needs. Which of course has these things do, this has only made the price tag to fully fix the tower get steeper.
