People throw around the word “hero” a little too much.

I do not like that he is being called a hero. There’s conflicting reports of either shielding family, or he died instantly before anyone knew what to do.

It’s funny, because that’s one of the reasons these fuckers are so riled up: something happens that they didn’t learn in grade school (and which occurs in a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the population), people say “Hey, this exists, just so you’re aware,” and it broke their fucking brains so…

Look, wanting everyone to have reasonable healthcare insurance and believing trans people don’t have the right to exist are just two different but equal things that people can believe, right?

I’m happy more and more Americans are coming around to the gender-neutral use of “cunt”.

I said this just the other day, but the reason the press keeps talking about Joe Biden’s debate performance is because he hasn’t done anything else scandalous since then.  Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s strategy is to have a new scandal every 27 hours so that the press can’t focus on any one thing for too long.

I could see one of his headlines:

Between JD Vance and Aileen Cannon, there’s batshit insanity happening roughly every two hours.

That’s a great call bringing Gaga into the conversation because I think you’re on to something there. There are overtly sexual feminist artists who don’t feel as manufactured/fake as Katy Perry to me. Maybe my view was tainted early on with her queerbait anthem “I Kissed a Girl”, which I’ve always felt was incredibly…

Katy Perry tries so hard to be sexy that she actually veers back around to being staid.

Had to replace “but her emails” eventually :/

Next year when Trump is President and the Supreme Court strikes down gay marriage, “...but he had a bad debate...”

At least the debacle gave an overzealous conservative movement the confidence to reveal its terrifying and unpopular Project 2025 transition platform.

“If there’s not a candidate I like, all of you can burn in a fascist hell for all I care because I don’t.”

Yes, I believe Gilliam’s entire rationale was to tell a story from a child’s point-of-view. In fact, the camera is rarely more than four feet off the ground.

I always assumed having the Time Bandits be little people provided the advantage of Kevin being on their level and not physically overshadowed by his fellow adventurers, similar to Elliot and E.T. the following year.

The fact that the cast is not little people does not bug me to much as I think Gilliam only did it to emphasize the surreal dream like atmosphere of his movie. “Little people = surreal” can be seen as a problematic Hollywood trope anyways.

Well, nothing in that trailer made me laugh. However, it did make me want to watch the original again. There’s something “Grimm’s fairytale” about the original that is both a kid adventure and yet too freaky as hell that is not somewhat a kids movie.

Here’s the thing: reassuring your nervous supporters that the debate was “one bad night” shouldn’t be complicated at all. Just get the candidate in as many live, unscripted situations as possible to prove that he can still think on his feet and still has the stamina to campaign. Schedule a live, one-hour town hall…
