I’m just transfixed by Shari Lewis’s footwork.

It’s baffling how difficult it is for you to figure out such a simple statement, my dude.

Nope, but your shitty trolling is much appreciated.

He’d be stealing Gore Verbinski’s oeuvre then.

I think “Defund the police” is not definitely a branding misstep, I think it’s just a complicated scenario. In such a short time a grassroots movement moved the dialogue on police funding/community support a considerable amount, to the point where bureaucratic organisations actually supported many of its measures too…

The essential Barsanti schtick: Take the breaking news and sandwich it amongst the most deluded, catty takes you could never want.

Haha, I think that’s pretty fitting for Stephen King- I love his works but he’s really lacking in capturing a lot of minority or feminine perspectives. The Stand was the first novel I read as a tween, and has a special place in my heart, but damn if it’s religious connotations aren’t just the most white bread, Midwest…

I think it’s incredibly important in viewing the film nowadays- with just the poor rationalisation of Gumb’s psychological profile, Silence looks like it’s trying to be forward thinking, and could be excused for being a dinosaur with its trans representation; the fact that it actually fits the consistent framing the…

Buddy, cancellation =/= criticism. Things age poorly, and deserve criticism when you look back at them.

You are surprised that a piece of culture is viewed in a modern lens? Welcome to film studies, pal, it’s always been this way- we review films like Birth of a Nation from our current views, why would we do it any other way with any other film?

Sorry bud, art and culture is always political, your problem is obviously that this is challenging your politics too much.

Adding in Chris Messina & Macon Blair just to round it out!

While you’re correct, that has little to do with what I was saying.

I think it also gets a lot of praise for its strong heroine and Jodie Foster’s performance.

Thanks for this- I have been watching a few different video essay sources lately and couldn’t remember who made that point.

As a millenial, silly pettiness like this pleases the shit out of me. Cringey generational stereotypes are hilarious.

Arguing that you don’t accept this critique because you accept the narratives that the filmmaker establishes in-text and through performance, while the critique itself is referring to perameters outside of that, is an awfully dumb thing for you to have done. Film critiques don’t invalidate your experience as a viewer,…

To answer your question, it gets brought up a ton- it’s one of the most recognized roles for both Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins, it’s had two different adaptations in recent years, and it’s a significant moment in trans representation in film. It’s often critiqued for good reason.

It’s a considerable word, what can I say.

I’m thinking whatever on the most of this guy, but the title on the first video does have me unnerve. Like how is it you see me looking at your tampon collection? Do you have cameras, you freak?
