went to the immersive van gogh exhibition and i can declare it with confidence to be tacky shit

@hazel i have a lot to say about it. i believe it to have been an incredible satire

@hazel its a good job this was right across from the exit because it was the part where i almost broke down in hysterics

@jk the gift shop was incredible. one can of van gogh lager for £5.35

@hazel it did have the sunflower maze from shenmue 3 though

@jk the sunflower room was where i lost it. we sat through the slideshow like 'huh is that it' but then we were informed about the SUNFLOWER ROOM. on the third floor. so we followed the signs for the SUNFLOWER ROOM. which was about half the size of my kitchen

the whole day i was thinking if i were van gogh id be fuming. id probably cut the other ear off

@hazel i think the part where they had the gunshot with all the crows flying up in the field. that was inspired, dramatic, sorry i meant emetic

@jk really tasteful. really tastefully loud. really incredibly tasteful and incredibly loud

@hazel i also enjoyed the screens where they had projected a few choice aphorisms from his private letters and set them in adobe "live laugh love" pro handwriting semibold

@jk i wasnt going to fall for any of the instagram bait but then i realised i was dressed like the sunflower room

@jk i liked how all the paintings were zoomed and cropped and they'd shape tweened some bits and added things like petals and birds and light leaks (hate it when i get a light leak on my painting) and you had to look all around the auditorium to find the one screen that sometimes but not always had an unanimated, uncropped version of the painting you were supposed to be regarding

@hazel @jk i know i'm just overhearing all of this from across the ocean but it still feels like i'm witnessing a crime
