At the same time I don’t think there’s a reason to pretend that wearing a top like that is anything other than a conscious decision intended to either draw in viewers or have people see your boobs. I see nothing wrong with that at all but I don’t think it’s productive to pretend otherwise.

I saw the movie on Saturday and yup, confirmed, that’s essentially the movie. And people are on here roasting me because I said something they don’t like about a Tarantino movie. lollllll

Your statement that this movie seems like an excuse for Tarantino to parade women around like trophies while men do all the talking, suggests that this is a common trait of Tarantino movies. Why, after all, would he only be seeking an “excuse” right now, for this one movie? The jab only makes sense if it’s something…

I’ll call you “female” if I damned well please, and you won’t say shit about it. :D

Yeah, there isn’t a more try-hard cinematic opinion than arguing that Tarantino sucks. It’s a surefire sign that you’re talking to somebody trying to punch way above their weight and make themselves look superficially “discerning” without really saying anything interesting or impactful.

It’s astonishing to me that the director who made Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, and Death Proof somehow is subjected to derision, on the basis that he supposedly backgrounds women in his films. Are you fucking kidding me? You’re free not to like Tarantino’s movies. That’s totally valid. But there is exactly zero argument…

But he isn’t going to go away forever. That’s the thing.

Nobody cares. You aren’t going to cancel Tarantino no matter how hard you try.

Not everyone is as Extremely Online as the people who become invested in these cultural disputes. These are professional athletes. They’re spending most of their time doing athlete shit, not fretting over every last outrage on the internet. It never ceases to amaze me when online people act like it’s totally implausibl…

This...

I don’t think anyone is *just* taking a break from watching twitch and calling it a day

Exactly. Sanders has done more, in real-world material terms, to help working people, than these assholes will ever do in their damned lives combined. This isn’t “crossing a picket line.” I know the big trend is to talk up the value of digital activism, but people deciding to not go on Twitch during the strike ain’t…

Sorry, but this is not “crossing a picket line.” That’s not how that shit works, y’all.

A grand total of three complete randos “lose their shit” on Twitter.

Laverne Cox is Netflix famous, not big-screen famous. But yes, congratulations, you know of one famous trans actor. Now name another.

Scarlett Johansson can get nearly any role she wants in any movie. Why she keeps making these obviously cringeworthy decisions and then being shocked when people call her out on them is a baffling lapse in awareness.

One of the “various social reasons” Johansson cannot play “any person,” to recap, at least where Rub & Tug is concerned, is that transgender actors have had a hard time getting cast as anything other than transgender characters; to have a cisgender actor play a transgender character takes away one of the few roles…

Yes, even Harvey Weinstein gets a defense. That’s the way it works.

I personally thought he would choose a woman who loves #MeToo and thinks he is guilty, or that he just wouldn’t get a lawyer at all.

You’re literally cheering for a corporation to stack extra billions on its stock value, and acting like this is woke. Jesus Christ.
