The Marxists are going to have a really hard time staffing all their media management positions

This is silly. No the difference between 85% to 100% is *not* that big, especially not compared to the difference between 85% and 0% which is what you’ll be protected at in the weeks or maybe even months before the vaccines are so ubiquitous you can choose which one you want administered. Hell, there’s not even a…

I’m just wondering when women will have one chance to participate at work, at social events, in fandoms, and in life in general without having to deal with this shit.

The issue is not that a path to redemption doesn’t exist, it’s that far too many people want instant redemption and/or redemption WITHOUT atonement or any consequences beyond issuing a boilerplate PR statement. Not one person stops to ask Leeann Tweeden or the numerous other women who alleged that Franken harassed…

Remember when Ant-Man was going to defeat Thanos by climbing into his butt? Good times.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ve had some comments with the actual Dr. Emo Lizard before.

Thanks for the recommendation. I haven’t seen those yet, although people around here speak very highly of both.

he only referenced things the directors or actors had done before? pretty SOP for a movie review. you can’t out-snark dowd, either.

He gave Tenet a C+...

“At one point, they shoot a rectal exam from the rectum’s perspective. It may be the defining image of a film so far up its own ass.”

30 years! That was back before there were people!

I love the idea that the early 1990s are such a distant era that we can’t apply “modern” standards to movies from that era.

That’s not helpful at all. It’s always worth listening to the experience of marginalized people, even if you ultimately don’t agree with everything they say. Harmony is speaking to her (?) own experience and it’s definitely valid.

“I really loathe the trend of attempting to read modern political morality into older movies.”

I think that’s bit rough. It’s an opinion piece by someone who’s life was directly and negatively affected by this film.

I love The Silence of the Lambs, but I can’t really deny that the way it deals with Jame Gumb is clumsy and outdated.

“which he attended, at least in part, on a scholarship he received for his performance on his high school Quiz Bowl team.”

There is a world of difference between comparing *public figures getting pushback on their stated views* to putting people in concentration camps, and comparing *putting people in concentration camps* to putting people in concentration camps.

Why do you fuckin’ weirdos always think that this is about recriminations and white guilt? Why do you think that “Black History Month” is intended, in some way, to address your own imagined version of ‘moving forward’ rather than provide visibility and weight to the unarguable truth that the country of America would…

As they say, the first step is acknowledging that you have a problem. And despite the disingenuous “honest question”, you aren’t yet interested in doing that.
