lol intolerance is actually a pretty good movie, but its genesis is as hilariously awful as griffith himself

even if i accept your premise here, which i do not, looters damage property while these nazis were damaging human beings

meanwhile, the democratic leader said "“Things were getting out of hand in the skirmishes between the alt-right and what I would describe as the outside agitators who wanted to encourage violence" ie he thinks the counter protestors are the problem and not the nazis

intolerance was about a few different things- including, in the mother and the law section, griffith having genuine concerns about labor rights (it depicts the ludlow massacre) and the ease with which children could be stolen from their parents by self appointed guardians of morality (a genuine issue at the time)- but…

the cops stood there and watched while the nazis maced counter protestors last night, including someone in a wheelchair

I mean it's all racist and ableist and shit anyway it's more just that Frasier is ABSOLUTELY the kind of guy who values his iq score

why am i only allowed to be mad about the worst possible thing

alien resurrection is whedon's least favorite thing he's ever been attached to and my most favorite thing he's ever been attached to

Oh, I thought I remembered there being a joke at the end where after Frasier comes to terms with it, it turns out he was actually significantly lower

i remember the episode of frasier where they find out their iqs and frasier's turns out to be like 105 and at the time i was like 'huh that's not even a standard deviation above average, i thought he was supposed to be smart'

I thought Pitt was actually pretty great in that movie- his character is a sweet, frattish, not very bright dude out of his league, and him going completely and childishly to pieces is absolutely correct for his character arc.

the number of adults- teachers and doctors and other responsible people- who can't trouble themselves to purge that fuckin word from their vocabulary actually does upset me a whole bunch. also, people who think that 'triggers' are a fun times joke and not a thing where people have debilitating panic attacks in public…

the ad buy for it must have been insane, though, i can't think of a thing that COULD be despicable me branded that isn't

It reads to me as though she thinks the character is sexless in that she's not really motivated by or especially cognizant of sexual desire? The adultery (which confuses me insofar as it seems like the husband is the one who really fucked up) was motivated by a need for validation, not by any actual sexual interest

Boll directs movies that are supposed to be awful (or used to, I don't know if he's even working anymore) and Wiseau raised like 2 million under suspicious circumstances to make a classic of Ed Woodian proportions. Bay has probably spent about 10 billion so far to make movies as a whole worse (though I think at this…

I find 'drag queens also have those terms used to attack them' an uncompelling argument- several groups of straight boys get called f___ on a regular basis, that obviously wouldn't give them license to use the term. RuPaul very clearly believes that he is entitled to speak for trans people, but that belief is rampant…

i mean, trans viewers who are cool with a show that's been pretty unrepentantly gross about a lot of trans issues over the years

jesus hopefully losing an entire season of shit will encourage them to stop this happening, their repeated returns to the chad well makes it seem like something like this was inevitable

You know that like…. internet people call in SWAT teams on women and doxx them and hack their phones and shit, right. Like it has direct irl consequences.

Given that there was an enormous, visible, and very conscious campaign against the movie by MRA types who constantly tried to concern troll by pretending the basis for their opinion was something other than loathing for women, it's not much of a stretch to imagine that loathing for women was a major factor in the…
