"I can't imagine how anyone could watch them and be completely oblivious to what they represent."

Why is it a gay story? Could the mutants in the film not be allegories for racial minorities or those with disabilities? One of the great things about stories is that people bring interpretation with them so that my experience of viewing something is fundamentally different from yours. But that does not make it a…

Yeah but queer subtext is not the same thing as representation. Which is why they don't show Pillow Talk in Queer Cinema classes.

"LGBTQ+ directors tell LGBTQ+ stories…"

I cried through half of it because seeing animals in pain is a giant trigger for me. One could say it was not a smart choice of film for me in the first place. But the entire thing was just so maudlin and ham-fisted. I cried anyway, because I am weak.

Apropos of nothing: War Horse is a terrible movie.

Diversity regarding women in film is a separate issue than people of color in film, and bringing up one doesn't negate the other. They aren't opposing problems that you can just throw out there to discredit someone's very real issues. It's lazy and if you can't even find the time to Google the correct spelling of…

But Mulholland Drive is one of the greatest films about the feminine mystique. God I love that movie.

lol no

The only Hitchcock movie I regret seeing.

No, they are totally different. The films Hitchcock had female leads in are more numerable and are much more central to his career than Spielberg.

I don't think Spielberg has a major issue with female characters but I also don't think it's a coincidence. I think he probably views traditional men as better choices for protagonists in the types of stories he wants to tell. I don't agree at all (I strongly prefer films with a female or queer male lead) but I think…

Whoa, let's not go saying things we can't take back.

There's always a good reason to slam Scientology.

Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of discourse in that clip. And that the unrecognizable woman at the end of the table wasn't a conservative bobble-head.

While I might not understand some of these next-generation hunks (Miles Teller? Really?), I'm all in for Ansel Elgort. He's the perfect concoction of cute and odd-looking, like Matt Smith or Russell Tovey.

I agree. I immediately feel physical discomfort whenever a gun is in my presence. It is a tool only meant for violence and I want no part of it.

I have not heard of this until this moment. So it's like the Ponzi scheme of music festivals? And did they really inconvenience Blink-182? Because that alone is funny and karmic enough to justify the entire thing.

Lea DeLaria being cast as a school bus seems weirdly offensive to me.

With the caliber of dudes they put on the show? I'd be surprised if AT LEAST "sexual misconduct" didn't happen at least four times a season.
