Inspired by a “true” “story”.

_{I was never going to see this, but I am rooting for it nonetheless. I am in favor of Hollywood making more batshit meme-movies.}

Yeah, the “kids don’t notice these things” excuse does a disservice to kids. Like adults, some kids are going to pick up on it and some are not. As a child, I didn’t pick up on the fact that the crows were Black stereotypes at all, but I pretty much figured out right away that the Siamese Cat song boils down to “we…

That commercial scared me so much as a kid that the warning prompted me to cover my eyes or change the channel as quickly as I could.

You really think you did something here.

School libraries are currently completely empty in conservative-controlled Florida because the governor ordered every single book be confiscated, and only the ones his party approves of will be returned.

Yeah the mass banning of books like Gender Queer or Maus by Republicans is a lot closer to the whole its 1984 buzz phrase. Of course the reactionaries cheer that on because they deem it degenerative filth. Free speech for all unless I hate the minorities in it.

Oh also if that wasn't enough, the witches control finances and want the blood of children.  Banker cabal and blood liable.  Dahl also had some real fun quotes about Hitler and the Jews.  Like the book or not, there's some antisemitism in there, of the classic Jews poisoning the well variety. 

No it doesn’t. Notice how the article points out (and the comment section largely reiterates) the outrage this is causing?

This is similar to the controversy surrounding that lawmaker who said “birthing people”. It’s not really a thing one person/group did/said something stupid with the best of intentions and were…

No your argument is clearly in good faith. I did get a chuckle out of Hemingway still being kept but Conrad out. I love Hemingway, but boy was he a miserable person at times and it reflects in his work, perhaps even more then Conrad. Its indeed token, I’m not going to praise the estate or anything for the choice.…

Okay first off this isn't the end of the world.  Its minor changes its not like the kids in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory aren't be tortured.  Its not 1984 or a nazi book burnings shut up.  Not like the Twitter reactionaries were buying his books anyway.  Second, Dahl was... quite something.  Oh you think Seuess…

Take your meds.

As a queer person I’ve got to protest against the stereotyping of my community as being campy worshippers of M3gan who go wild when - wait girl did you say unrated cut? Yass qween! Bitch werk okurr boots house down mama step on my neck mother! Slayyyyyyy!

Phoenix winning the Oscar for Joker is in line with many others who won the award because it was just ‘about time’ they won one. Actors (and directors) are often overlooked for their best performances and get the statue for just being overall good at what they do, if they do it long enough. See: Al Pacino for Scent…

Of all the movies I’ve ever seen, Joker was one of them. Just a totally unremarkable bit of cinema. Good LOOKING movie, though.

It’s not that weird that Pheonix won an Oscar for playing The Joker, I mean there is precedent for that. What is weird is that the “I’m here for the gangbang” guy from Old School is an Oscar nominated director.

I don’t even really know who she is but having a book on feminism thrown at you by strangers sounds like the kind of thing a liar would say.

Also, there’s that whole Speed Force-powered elephant zipping around the room in the form of the criminal accusations that have followed Miller for so long now.

Gaspar Noé is an asshole who revels in the suffering of others, especially women.
