i did fail at being brief.

you can keep trying to explain why you, a non-jew, should be able to school me on anti-semitism, or you can hear me when i say "it gets old". remember that i never said you were necessarily less qualified or automatically wrong. i just said i didn't care. which i still don't.

fuck damn it. i replied at length and it was eaten by disqus.

-disqus failure-

your reference game is strong.

right.

funny enough, star wars is the only one other than marvel that i expect to treat the "shared universe" concept at all well.

you're arguing with a position i don't hold! i think the creation of israel, the way it went, was stupid, shortsighted, and massively unjust. i'm talking about the motivation behind some of the israeli/zionist mindset, and israel was very much necessitated by a history of jews being moved on or killed wherever they…

also — i don't mean this in an inflammatory way, but i'll be frank — unless you're a jew yourself, i don't much care that you think the word is misapplied most of the time. i'm not disagreeing, necessarily, but getting lectured about anti-semitism from non-jews gets old fast, just as much as white people telling black…

i could be wrong, sure. but the face was so well attached to the body, the lighting and shadow matched perfectly, and her facial acting was in-sync with her body. i don't think the tech exists to do it THAT WELL on that budget.

no. i'm not talking about the intent. i'm talking about the statement.

haha right. just checking.

i'm a jew who's very critical of israel and i hear what you're saying. the nazi thing just isn't really a viable alley to go down, though: it's not 100% WRONG (it's not substantially accurate either) but it's so rhetorically countereffective that you're shooting yourself in the foot.

"anyone who supports israel should burn in hell"? that's plain old antisemitism, brother.

have you seen ultron yet? i don't want to respond if you haven't.

…which people have been saying since before the first avengers movie.

WARD: "I was on a mission. It wasn't personal."
SKYE: "It wasn't… you did not just say that! It wasn't
personal?!"
WARD: "Skye, listen to me."
SKYE: "God, you might actually believe that. You…that
is… that is the twisted logic that they teach you when you sign up to be a
Nazi."
WARD: "Stop. Wait. I'm not a Nazi."
SKYE: "Yes,…

not only was it NOT OBVIOUSLY a stunt double, it was OBVIOUSLY NOT a stunt double. choe bennett's face was very visible for a lot of the shot, and her whole body never left frame to be replaced by a double (like murdoch did when he went through a door in daredevil's stellar second-episode oner). and this show does NOT…

i don't know if redford's role in that committee was clear. he didn't seem to be their equal… he was both superior to them and reliant on their cooperation.

to answer that, i have to be vaguely spoilery, and say that there aren't really "spoilers" for AoU that matter. it isn't a "twist" movie. winter soldier was a conspiracy thriller — there's spoilable plot events, but no mystery to AoU.
