Exactly. And either ironically or seriously many of them worship Elliot Rodgers as literally their patron saint. Clustered together in little “support” groups where they validate how shitty they feel about themselves and blame women and Chads (stereotypical good looking men) while also feeling entitled to sex from…

When I was first studying criminology and profiling it was well before Columbine. You had your Charlie Starkweathers and your Charles Whitmans, but most of spree killers like this tended to be 25-45 age range because the thing that set them off was usually loss of job or status at home. Or their wives leaving them.…

Amazon also tells you if other services offer the thing you want to watch even if they don’t. I don’t know about all of them, but it always tells me if something is available on Netflix or Hulu before trying to get me to buy episodes.

Shakespeare in Love maybe? But it had to actually win a bunch of Oscars first. And the complaints against it weren’t nearly as vitriolic.

I liked grumpy Luke. I liked it over all. But I didn’t like the weird forced modern humor like the movie opening with a literal Yo Mama joke. Every other Star Wars movie I believe that it takes place a Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far Far Away because it’s so removed from pop culture. This one was not and it felt far too…

I’m very hesistant to blame culture or technology for things like this because it’s not a new phenomenon at all. The one case this reminded me about the most was the murder of Rebecca Schaeffer, the star of My Sister Sam. The guy stalked her for 3 years before gunning her down in the doorway of her apartment building.

I really don’t see this guy being the kind of guy who seeks out help. He fixated on someone so much he drove cross country to kill the person she loves in front of her and then *poof* magically she’d realize he’s actually rescuing her and they can run off together forever.

Maybe my own experiences, but I do not think young boys get any messages at all about masturbation.

I disagree. It’s pretty clear everyone in the town except for Woody Harrelson BELIEVED he did do something horrible to a black man in custody and BECAUSE he was black, but it’s not clear what he did or if even did anything.

I never thought about the girlfriend as “who McDormand was before her husband” but that makes a TON of sense. Especially when she tells her ex-husband to be nice to her.

So you don’t think there’s anything upsetting or even mildly disturbing about a grown man (the dude is not a child or teenager) whose main target demo is 10-15 year olds, having previously established he has absolutely no respect for other people or humanity or death...putting a LAUGH TRACK over the corpses of dead…

It’s really weird to me how the definition of “stan” has changed from “fan so obsessed and crazed you’re pretty sure he’s going to lock his gf in the truck of his car” to “fanboy”.

Exactly. She was never mad at the sheriff. She was mad at herself and was blaming herself for it the entire time. As long as she focused that anger on something else, she could keep going.

The stupid girlfriend is the nicest character in the movie and she delivers the movie’s central theme. She also is the only character in the movie who is genuinely a good person and doing good things. She works with animals and the disabled.

The town does not have a reputation for white officer brutalizing black citizens. Rockwell was accused of torturing a black subject. A thing he repeatedly denies throughout the movie. Including insisting that the correct term “PoC” be used AND stating that he wouldn’t torture PoC because “his Momma wouldn’t like that.”

Exactly. Deep down, no matter what they felt before he coughs...the second he does, they instantly become two people who recognize each other’s humanity.

I didn’t even like the movie that much and I found myself defending it solely because people clearly didn’t understand the movie and were projecting all this crap at it that the movie is not even trying to address.

He also seems to be unable to separate his character of Dr. DisRespect from Guy Beahm. He plays up the asshole character but then doesn’t draw a line between “character” and “actor” and uses things from his real life to defend the actions taken by his character. A trained performer or someone with a better grasp on…

And note how very specific this “impulsive” behavior is. He’s not having fits. He’s not having outbursts. He’s ONLY having this impulsive behavior toward women. And the ONLY impulsive behavior he’s displaying is cornering women so he can be sexually predatory.

Most people with traumatic brain injuries who can’t control their behavior aren’t savvy enough to corner someone in an isolated hallway with no witnesses and proceed to make repeated sexually aggressive overtures that they lie about later.
