Yamete kudasai is literally “stop, please.”

Unfortunately because it’s Japan it doesn’t get any more assertive than displaying a message on your phone or emitting a sound saying, “Please stop.” I know it’s a very different culture, but if someone else can forgo cultural mores enough to put their hands on our bodies couldn’t we please forgo those same mores and…

I think the argument being made is that the catch would be, they would only get to opt out if women did too (by having an abortion, which would have to be legal). So men’s ability to opt out would be contingent on abortions being legal. I don’t think it’s very feasible but it’s an interesting argument, from a…

A woman introduced the abortion ban legislation in Alabama and a woman governor signed it.

I (cis-man) support abortion rights. I vote for candidates that are pro-choice. This “they have no real skin in the game” just ain’t true. I’m currently raising several kids. Whether or not my wife has access to abortion rights should she somehow gets pregnant again DEFINITELY affects me. To the tune of several…

You could bring all of them onboard by offering men an option that has so far been denied to them.

I don’t think the earnest enthusiasm (the first few words of the tweet) is the issue here. His claim that the shot should be taught (??) in any film studies class is a bit silly and perfectly worthy of some tame, mild mockery.

It’s naive and hyperbolic. It’s not like this dude’s life is ruined, but it’s like a college dorm having up a Dali poster next to a Fight Club poster. Just yup.

yes, I’m sharing this because *my* reply got 3 likes. yay me.

No, you aren’t. You’re posting a comment on the Internet and seeking approval from others for your opinion.

On the subject of shots that used clever framing for ironic effect, here are two of the earliest examples I could find, one from “City Lights” and the other from “The Rules of the Game.” Both rather wicked, but also fairly subtle when seen in-motion.  If I have to fault Game of Thrones, its that their shot couldn’t…

There is no internet culture. There’s a worldwide electronic data network that is infested with a collection of misfits, bigots, idiots, overgrown children, slime, criminals, cowards, bullies, and jackasses.

No, she’s not going to get a real job - she’s going to work for Fox News eventually.

Was it a union dragon?

She got kicked off social media and can’t grift MAGA dipshits anymore. I’d say she has to get a real job, except she probably isn’t going to be able to do that, since any prospective employer that Googles her is going to nope out of that immediately.

I’d hesitate to call it a shot. Like, if the dragon was real and they were able to time the whole thing where Whatshername is walking forward and the dragon unfurls her wings and it looks like Miss Dragonpants has wings but its all camera angles...that’s a cool shot.

Good luck, Mortal.

Costs aside, if an island is 1.5 miles at its widest, how is the water not always in walking distance?
