Hi, I live in Tel Aviv and this movie played here and wasn’t contriversial. I didn’t see it yet, but planning to. Taika Waititi sometimes goes by his mother’s maiden name Cohen which is the most jewish name you can have.

Wait, isn’t the problem with carbon footprint the much too low a price for economy tickets? So what is wrong with her flying business class? Her ticket at least can in theory include offseting environmental damage.

Well, that is because WW is a beloved character for many decades, there is nothing controversive in giving her a movie. Besides, she is literally a goddess, not a girl-next-door who persisted and succeeded. There is also a lot of hate for Marvel comics’ current direction to diversify their ranges and generally be more…

I have another version! Maybe they synchronised it to some Queen song as a gag and didn't realize how awfull it looks? Like The Shining synchronizes pretty good with Pink Floyd's album Meddle, and how you'll never will see the final sequence of 2001 Space Odyssey the same way after you watch it set to Echoes from the…

could be some kinja shenanigans? If not, it is disappointing, but not surprising: if you go into as much detail as you did, it becomes harder to take one side and defend it at all times, and mostly people do not like that. The reporting is much different when allies are the ones who screwed up. There is no rush to…

Well I, as a Jewish person, felt that they were careless, you feel free to disagree.

They seem to care more about the appearances than meaningful conversation on this issue.

this is an even better piece that looks very carefully at every player in the story:

I used to skip breakfast for this reason, I felt nauseous thinking about food in the morning. Then I overdone it in conjunction with too little sleep. Turns out I have a stomach problem, and eating food in the morning actually helps with the nausea. The less sleep I get the more repulsed by food I am in the morning…

It says that the driver said it was consensual, so the lawyer can’t be denying that anything happened at all. So he is indeed saying that the victim was blackout drunk during the incident, which seriously doesn’t help his case.

Pretty sure two gay Jews who wrote “Tomorrow belogs to me” for Cabaret would also object to Trump using their song.

1% owing 50% of wealth is also disproportional. It’s what disproportional means. 1% owing 1% percent is proportional. It’s not hard to understand. It’s not about deserving, it’s about numbers. The person above just argued that that may be one of the reasons for malice towards Jews. In fact, in Europe Rotschilds were…

I’m Russian, I don’t buy Baba Yaga and anthropomorfic animals were ever off limits. The most famous children’s author of the era, Chukovsky, wrote about animals doing ridiculous things. Then there was Daniil Harms, kind of Kafka of children’s literature, he was an absurdist, so not a lot of propaganda. Maxim Gorky,…

erm, okay, by all accounts, continue to enjoy and celebrate the work of convicted rapist, it’s no skin of my back.

I don’t care if he is an amazing director. I’m not watching any of his films ever again. I newer saw Rosemary’s Baby. So it’s great? So what, so are thousands more movies I newer saw and will not find time to see. It’s not so hard to find a good movie directed by a less problematic director. Because literally any…

There was this brilliant Canadian show about scientists saving the world from different menaces every week (with science!) and there are plenty complex characters and scientists being awesome. There is even a teenage Ellen Page. It is called Re:Genesis.

They weren’t interested when there was an attack in Saint-Petersburg, so...

Nothing surprises me after they cast him in an adaptation of Goldfinch, a book that wouldn’t work if the character wasn’t charismatic, because he also is weak and spineless.

Yeah, I could have told you the exact same thing, and I’m not a lawyer. That’s how blatant that shit is. This is not for people who want the truth. That is for their base, so they could point to it and say that “prosecutor says she has no case” and not “Republican senators don’t believe her”.

This puzzles me. Me too is very generic phrase. Was anyone aware of Me Too before 2017? It seems to me that incredibly generic and simple phrase that was used in that Milano tweet just happened to be used earlier by Tarana Burke. And it would have been some other simple hashtag used by another celebrity with a lot of…
