This brings up a question I’ve often had.

I have a hard time seeing it, but Patty Jenkins has earned enough good will from me to reserve judgement until I see her on screen.

Honestly, I don’t understand why you care so much as to need to argue this with everyone. Apparently, you’re a member of the vegan police from Scott Pilgrim... Lol

I am well aware.

You can’t hide behind religion to try to change the meaning of language and the definition of words.

I haven’t watched it actually, so I couldn’t say.

But back in the good old days of Blockbuster, to what aisle would you go to rent it?

Catholics who abstain from all meat but fish during certain times for religious purposes do not claim that they are vegetarians during said periods of time.

That’s possible too.

I was unaware that Silence of the Lambs was considered a horror film.

The transubstantiation during the Eucharist is a process that surpasses human understanding.

If they tried to give me any reasoning for that other than “for the theological purposes of my faith, fish is not considered meat”, then I would definitively make the that point to them.

Seems like an overly complicated explanation when a simpler one that fits the dialogue neatly is available.

In my opinion, if one needs to come up with that many rationalizations and conjectures to explain how the Jabari can be all vegetarian but still have lots of fishermen, then its preferable to go with the simplest explanation and assume that M’Baku only meant his own family.

If it is, that tells me that some vegetarians are just trying to find loopholes because they don’t want to admit that they don’t have the force of will to be consequent with their beliefs.

But that’s for ritual reasons. Catholics aren’t claiming that fish isn’t meat.

I have zero issues with the tribe being “vegetarian”, but still eating fish.

And I would consider such people to be full of it.

Damn you, now I’m going to have the picture of Jabari tribesmen wearing my dad’s fishing getup stuck in my head.

But you’re still killing the fish.
