A POC Bond makes sense because in modern England his race wouldn’t be as essential to the character as it was when the franchise started (i.e. its hard to envision anyone other than a white guy in the 60's working his way up to MI6 super spy and then sneaking around Soviet-era Russia unnoticed), but a female Bond…

All I can picture of you is a whiny, ineffectual little college student. 

So how come him defending her is wrong and must be a sign of him having a crush or something (eyeroll), while you bashing her is somehow fair game and totally okay? It’s almost like you tribalists operate under some kind of double standard (both sides apply the double standard - frankly I don’t find you that much…

Racist? Now you’re just making stuff up. At least stick with what’s factual if you want to make your point. 

It is incredibly naïve to think people are incapable of being extremely shitty because they are left wing. During the BLM protests I saw more than one video of white people screaming in black cops’ faces calling them Uncle Tom and such (not to mention the black police officers who reported repeatedly getting called…

If one wants to work they must kiss the ring and show fealty to our views. 

“...in that group of people who hate anyone that isn’t like them”  This comment is a little ironic in a thread of people saying she’s dead to them and persona non grata. Oh right, but it’s different when we do it (which is, funny enough, exactly what they say). 

Yeah doesn’t she know she should shut up and conform to our opinions in order to be allowed to work? 

She has some stupid opinions about the voter fraud issue but she’s not talking about rounding people up in box cards. Why not just accept some people think differently than you without killing them off in your mind? We’re a country of fucking children now.

I may have watched it too soon after reading the book so at the time it felt sort of clunky. But part of the problem is that the narrative of Dune itself is totally scattered and nonsensical, but in the context of a novel where the story stretches out its less obvious you’re kind of going from one crazy scene to…

I’ll try Twin Peaks - the moderating force of network suits may make that one easier for me to get a toe-hold on and understand him better.

He obviously is much loved so I’ll take your advice and see if I can break through. I just sometimes feel like his stuff is weird for the sake of weird.

I can’t tell if this guy just has a really bad trolling schtick or if he’s got serious mental issues. Which means he actually might have a really good trolling schtick. 

I’ve tried to get into him but I just can’t. I’ve made it through Mulholland Drive but didn’t like it, and lasted ten minutes into Eraserhead before getting annoyed. Also, Dune is garbage and while he tries to blame it on not having final cut I can’t see how anything could fix it. 

I tried to read JR but found it unreadable. It’s one of those books where you’re never given any introduction to your setting or characters and have to piece everything together - I don’t need to be spoonfed anything but throw me a bone here. I’m not one to shy away from challenging books, and I would even say I make…

Can’t they just show all the film’s images in, like, rapid succession? 

“I didn’t like how Jared Leto portrayed his character and now people want to kill trans women” is like some Alex Jones level synapse misfiring. 

It feels like the contributors here have no idea how to talk about race anymore. “The show is good because they’re not all white” is not a particularly compelling endorsement.

Bon Iver’s album had one okay song - Skinny Love. The rest of it was a dreary hipster snoozefest. How that was Grammy worthy is beyond me. 

Sorry, but when your point is that Jared Leto’s performance put trans women in danger its hard to take you seriously. It’s an objectively idiotic statement.
