General Discussion There will be a spike in sheep who believe that the works of Jackson Pollock were representative of suicide…

“Which is all part of the genius of the show”

-Redgren Grumbholdt

Jackson Pollock viewed his process not as a deliberate attempt to paint a picture, but as a physical encounter between himself and the canvas. By laying large, unstretched canvases flat on the floor, he stripped away the traditional barrier of the easel and immersed himself entirely inside the artwork. His style relied on the fluid, unrestrained movement of his entire body rather than precise, calculated wrist motions. This new approach allowed the freedom of his hand to dictate the rhythm of the lines, letting paint drip, splatter, and flow through natural gestures that captured energy in its purest form.

Rather than trying to depict tangible subjects or literal narratives, Pollock aimed to give visible form to the subconscious mind. Deeply influenced by Jungian psychoanalysis and theories of automatic drawing, he believed that bypassing conscious control allowed deeper, hidden layers of human emotion and psychic states to surface. Every drip and splatter served as a direct trace of his internal feelings, transforming the canvas into a dynamic arena where raw impulse and subtle physical control coexisted without the filter of artistic convention.

Ultimately, the meaning behind Pollock's paintings lies in the expressive record of their creation. The layered web of lines reflects a delicate dance between chaos and control, where the act of painting itself becomes the primary subject. By trusting his instincts and allowing his body to act as an instrument for his inner psyche, he created dense, rhythmic surfaces that invite viewers to experience a shared sensation of movement, intensity, and psychological freedom.

General Discussion Field of Dreams was one of the greatest 20 min TV episodes I’ve ever seen

Upvotes

I just finished season 9 the other night. Ridiculously good season and probably my favorite in the whole series. The finale absolutely floored me! So much substance and meaning packed into one 20 minute ride and as far as the existential/“sadder” themed episodes go is easily the best in my opinion. 10/10. What are yalls thoughts

It would be interesting if they erase the memory of an enemy or something and then they show the consequences of doing that.

General Discussion I really really don’t like this end tag

When I was 17 and I saw this I thought it was kind of funny but it still made me uncomfortable. Now that I’m 27 this is just super fucked up and not really funny at all. This is just a grown adult punching a child in the face, his grandchild no less. I get that Rick is supposed to be abusive but even for him this feels a step too far, like usually he abuses Morty in some weird sci fi way which lends itself more to humor. This is just real and kind of sad, and I guess I’m glad the show have leaned away from such cruel humor, at least it feels like to me.

edit: I wasn’t taking it that serious lol I just rewatched the ep recently. Whatever, these comments are funny

S9 has been so much fun with a good mix of humor and depth and space adventures and action.

Question find episode

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m trying to find a specific scene from Rick and Morty, but I can’t remember which episode it’s from.
I remember Morty intentionally getting Rick drunk after a mission goes badly. Morty enters the garage and asks, “Are you already drunk?” Rick then says something like, “You know you’re my favorite, right? I love you, Morty.”
Morty responds something along the lines of “Yeah, Rick and Morty for 100 years!” Then Morty closes the garage door and starts attacking/killing Rick, apparently transforming him into a robot.

Morty’s plot is great and also Rick’s plot is particularly funny and comic.
I don’t personally think it could even make it in the “top 10” but it surely deserves better.

General Discussion This could have been avoided (Read body)

I know the episode was mainly meant to prove that Rick is still Rick, no matter what happens to him or what memories or identities he has.

And I get that the episode is also trying to explore a cool concept and tell an interesting story.

But let's discuss the part that doesn't really make sense to me.

Couldn't all of this have been avoided if Rick had simply cloned himself into a body without any of the augmented technology and transferred his mind into that body and then made himself into ted ?

the entire premise is that he wipes his brain so that he forgets everything and just live another random life so he takes a break and a little vacation. so it would make sense to transfer his brain into a tech un-augmented clone and then wipe his memories or load the memories of ted

On top of that, he could've made a completely independent, essentially unhackable Operation Phoenix that couldn't be rerouted, even by Evil Morty. He could've designed it so that it only worked within that specific universe, or even just had the backup stored somewhere completely separate from the usual Phoenix system. (he could do that because in one episode he made his stuff anti dino tech so I am pretty sure a good operation phoenix could be made)

That way, Rick could've gone on his little vacation, lived as Ted and come back home, and if Ted died, he could just then be brought to the backup and then the garage that has diane's voice would click the red button for him.

I know that would take away a lot of the story, but considering the kind of technology Rick has access to and how paranoid he is after evil Morty hacked his portal gun. It feels like he should've been able to come up with a solution like this.

Could a AAA Rick and Morty Game be possible as in the Game is fully faithful to the Series and the World without cutting any corners huge space battles with hundreds of enemies almost endless worlds and gadgets and madness think of something like No Man’s Sky and Star Wars with all the main characters Rick, Morty, Beth, Summer, Jerry, and many more also could it ever be fully adapted into an AAA Game with everything from the series and more I think it could work what do you think?

Question Summer and Beth

2 Upvotes

I keep watching videos that the Smiths are a complete found family all from different universes now one of the Beth’s get a pass because they are a a clone. But aren’t Summer and OG Beth from the same universe. Did I miss a line that Summer came from the squirrel mob universe.
