I guess you missed the part where Heimbach said that Jews should be “unironically gassed”?

What universe are you from where there is this plethora of Dune adaptations?

“I don’t find anything hampering about the loot box system to the progression in this game so that must mean everything is ok! I am super independent because I don’t allow myself to be swayed by commentz from lozers on the interwebzone.”

Right, the weather where you live is great so climate change must not be real…

I spent like the first 10 hours of the game just walking around being a tourist. This period/place in history is kinda my bag, like it’s half of my library, so I was READY. It didn’t disappoint. Alexandria is actually breathtaking. It’s not a perfect representation, but the fact that they went out of their way to lay…

He literally became a Democrat just so he could cash in on resources (resources he never helped raise in his career) and then he and his supporters were aghast when the party didn’t roll out the red carpet.

The entitlement is staggering.

Just some context. Gnosticism was Christianity, or rather a type of Christianity. Jesus is still the central redeeming figure of Gnosticism. And Gnostics considered themselves Christians.

The God of the Hebrew Bible - the “Old Testament”- is just more of a demigod (specifically named Ialdaboth) who is actually…

Dropping this in apropos of nothing: Bruce Greenwood is dad AF.

Would be totally on board with him handcuffing me to a bed (sans the heart attack).

When I try and explain the impact of the plague to people I always say that it was essentially what post-apocalypse popular fiction is. 2/3 of the population died in a really short time period. Infrastructure breaks down along with traditional authorities and bureaucracy. Entire towns empty. The closest approximation…

I am old enough to remember when people said this about TNG. Star Trek has always messed with “canon” and its own continuity.

Oh no! Something new! Can’t have that!

Also, have you seen Star Trek before? All the Klingons actual spoke Klingon. How much MORE Stark Trek could this get?

I do have kind of a sadistic glee thinking about this movie getting a wide release. It’s like people paying to get punched in the face.

“But is has JLaw in it?!”

Lol, strap in Becky.

The bourgeoisie is not gonna like this one.

The metaphors being “heavy-handed” seems to be the criticism of choice for this one, and I think that’s missing the point. The heavy-handedness crosses the threshold into pure absurdist territory by the end. It works because everyone completely throws themselves into it, full tilt. I loved it.

I am not sure when we…

Aronofsky is a big environmentalist and given that our continued existence on this planet is warped up in the environment total extermination due to ecological destruction is an apropos subject. Metaphors are a thing that happen regularly in stories now, I hear.

But I get it, I am totes stupid for liking a movie and…

That’s fair. I get why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. If you’re not into broody, existentialist theologies then you’re not going to have a good time.

I thought Noah was great, actually, but rather than engaging with “Christian” themes, it was Aronofsky at his decidedly most Jewish. I appreciated the fact that he actually took Noah seriously, as a kind of “failed prophet”, and integrated some of the Bible’s more unsettling esoteric elements that the…

Fuck you, Satan’s whore.

You’re right. Being a victim of sexual harassment makes her exempt from criticism in all contexts.

FYI, that “big crossbow” has a name. It’s called a ballista.

Also, they are outside of Kings Landing so they are not in the Reach but the Crownlands.
Psht....fuckin’ casuals.

Um....if you’re brown then so is Gal Godot. In a lot of contexts, all it takes to be considered white is to NOT be black. Plenty of people from the middle east are white in the context of American society.

That’s some Delphic oracle shit. “I said you would be legends....I never said what kind.......”
