I have always taken issue with the discourse around Quiet which always just sounded to me like slut-shaming.
He was to me, the best character on the series. Endlessly entertaining yet also incredibly violent. But its the fun parts people remember most. He is the speaker of the absolute best line in the series from Pine Barrens. "He killed 16 Chekoslovakians! And he's an interior decorator!" Farewell Paulie, one of the…
It’s not like rage and overreaction is the thing people like him feed on and rely on to remain relevant!
To anyone who “dares” object to “politics and whatever”:
Criticizing someone for using their speech in a way that promotes hatred for a marginalized group /= revoking their free speech. Chapelle can say whatever dogshit he wants to say, and everyone else is allowed to criticize him for it. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence.
Oh christ, not this bullshit again. You don’t have to be a civil rights lawyer with a background in constitutional interpretation to know that that’s not what the right to free speech is, but as a civil rights lawyer with a background in constitutional interpretation, I can tell you that’s not what the right to free…
Yeah, you keep thinking that - in a few decades, though, I think you’ll find yourself embarrassed by having thought so. In the meantime, if you want to invoke Carlin and the “essence of being a comedian,” though, even Carlin disagreed with punching down the way Chappelle is. The essence of comedy isn’t unfettered…
“You are no different than the conservatives who had the likes of George Carlin put in jail”
Yeah, when you find someone that wants it to be federally illegal for Chappelle to do whatever horseshit he’s doing, you go ahead and dig this speech back up out of the trash. As it stands you know full well everyone just wants him to know he’s doing horseshit and wish he’d stop.
The anti-right-wing satire in RoboCop the film holds up more than ever. No RoboCop game has ever been anything but a mindless action game devoid of any humanity that takes the movie at face value and I have zero confidence this will be any different.
“The more you say I can’t say something, the more urgent it is for me to say it. It has nothing to do with what you’re saying I can’t say.”
Remember, the Crime-Apocalypse future that was predicted, at the time, was based on rising crime rates. It was predicted that the future would be a criminal helscape and were depicted in movies like Robot Cop and Escape from New York. However, the prediction didn’t come about. And do you know why that is? Roe vs Wade.…
I sure hope this multi-millionaire can recover from the oppression of having young people saying his dated opinions and beliefs are bullshit.
I don’t know if the themes of Robocop hold up nowadays with current state of policing in America. It’s going to take some deft writing to thread that needle without nuturing the concept, and that synopsis doesn’t make me hopeful.
Of course he defends it. His company got 24 million in two weeks.
No company would say no to that, even if they’re fleecing people who are easily addicted. The government is the only one who can step in an set a money cap on player payments.
The Blizzard of old is dead and gone, the modern Blizzard is just a gross offshoot of Activision and we would all probably be better off ignoring it.
“No message” is a clear message in this case.
Truly the best Wonder Woman on and off the screen.
