Saw it for the first time two months ago. I spend the whole movie joking he was clearly gay, uncomfortable with that fact, and full of normalized self shame. Thus while trying to prove to himself he wasn’t gay... he friendzoned the shit out of himself with the lead girl and became a stalking psycho.  

No such thing as reverse racism, just racism. People of all genetic backgrounds have been racist to each other throughout human history.

Perfectly stated.

What this actually is all about is left wing sanctioned cultural/racial segregation. But it is okay you see... but it is them supporting it. As a left wing thinker/voter it disgusts me to see what the extreme far left/Regressive Left have been doing.

I will elaborate: You’re stating your opinion as some universal truth.

Your mistake (and most everyone else as well) is that you think it’s a white people thing. However, whites appropriating other cultures is in the minority of cultural appropriation instances. Surely you realize there are many other countries around the world. One example that comes to mind is India’s Bollywood movies.…

I thought the undercurrent was that Duckie was gay and trying too hard to prove that he wasn’t. I can’t imagine him having any real interest in her.

I had a Duckie in high school. This kid would show up every weekend to whatever I was doing. One night I asked my BFF why she kept inviting him, and she said she thought I wasn’t the one who told him where we were going. I still don’t know how he found out.

Sorry, you’ve edited your comment since I started my response.

It’s when he’s talking to Andrew Dice Clay and he point blank asks him why he keeps waiting for her outside the club for hours when she goes there knowing he can’t get in.

I don’t remember what she does when she comes out (I vaaauguely remember her just trying to blow past him, but I may be mis-remembering). I mean,…

he does it multiple times. i just watched the movie a few days ago. also, riding by her house dozens of times a day? riding in circles in a lot across from her house, watching? calling -repeatedly- and leaving messages every time within the space of like 20 minutes?

Waiting outside a club for hours that she goes to SPECIFICALLY knowing he can’t get in, just to ambush her when she comes out?

The mid-course correction to NOT have Andie end up with Duckie was the best decision they made in that movie. The guy had issues. When one person is that enamored of another who doesn’t share the same feelings, it’s going to be a weird friendship. Turn that into a romantic relationship and you’re looking at an…

Also, not to derail too much, but can we also talk about how Duckie Dale taught a generation of guys that pushy, entitled, Nice Guy behavior was quirky and adorable rather than being borderline stalkery?

Me included, by the way. I spent a LOT of my teens acting like garbage because I thought I was a Manic Pixie…

No, the term “cultural appropriation” is not neutral. It was never a “thing” until it came to white people “stealing” someones culture.

I mean, if something as dumb as this gets you all lathered up, you should probably know that you’re going to live a very lonely, sad life.

I mean the white one or the yellow one is the default so I think it’s pretty stupid to go out of your way to use a brown one. But having said that, do other brown people care? As a brown myself, I don’t think I do.

Now dark skinned emojis are a problem?

FF started making big cash with FF5, when The Rock made his first appearance.

Drop The Rock and keep Vin, FF9 will almost certainly suffer. Drop Vin and keep The Rock, FF9 will make another billion dollars.

Vin is not a bankable star. Everybody knows this, except Vin Diesel.

Better Call Saul has not outmatched Breaking Bad in any way whatsoever. The show only FINALLY... became watchable in the third season when the ditched the horrifically bizarre slow pacing.
