They could really use some positive representation /s (or maybe not /s)

Literally every non-Cheryl scene is worthless!

Race, gender, and class are part of the human experience and it’s impossible to examine a work without them influencing the lense. I don’t see how you can not see the ways race, gender, and class play into the questions surrounding replicants and their treatment. 

Shit, it was front page news when my town got an olive garden and you couldn’t get in without a reservation for months. That’s in the third largest city in the state. Even when I moved to a city with tons of great food I still loved those soup and salad lunches when I’d visit my mom.

I agree. A lot of the philosophy is 101 kind of stuff, but I really love seeing how it plays out with real characters. K’s storyline was an emotional roller coaster for me. But I also love how they explore how society denies the humanity of replicants so they can be used as slaves and the ways replicants have to play…

Yes, Luv also believes she is “The One” to Wallace and feels threatened by every new replicant he creates and especially the existance of Rachel and Deckard’s child. I think K also saw their parallels and maybe for the first time really felt guilt over killing one of his own kind.

But to deny K’s humanity simply because his memories are programmed? Is being human just our memories? I think it’s an important parallel between what a replicant is and what a computer program is. There have been a lot of films about computer programs becoming concious, but replicants are actual humans who are…

Yes, I had the same realization which made me feel devastated. She was programmed to tell him what he wanted to hear and I think part of that was to evolve into more of a human (which also got him to buy more products, hmm). He’s a replicant and by many is also not thought of as human, he wants to believe he’s special…

I think women know the difference between an accidental graze and a grope. If a man can’t stop grabbing the asses of women he encounters at work then he should resign. An apology doesn’t mean shit if there is no change in behaviour or repercussions for sexual harassment.

I’ve only just learned that there are people who don’t consider Mac and cheese a thanksgiving dish. What is the point of Thanksgiving?

Could you let me know where I and other women should draw the line? We should be cool with men grabbing our butts so long as they vote the right way? At what point am I allowed bodily autonomy? Does it depend on the job of the groper?

Really no need to see the first. We found the short animation from the guy who did cowboy bebop was more connected to the sequel and was a nice companion piece.

I like that it’s his wife and kids fault he can’t see a movie when he could get a babysitter so maybe they could both enjoy a night out.

Now you’re just rubbing it in.

YA librarian here. YA isn’t a genre, it’s an audience with a diverse selection of books that include smart, dense literary stuff and fun, escapist fiction with everything in between. So, no reason to insult youth literature just because a movie didn’t do well.

I think like the original it is a difficult film to market. it’s not an action film, but all of the ads had the only brief flashes of action in them. The pacing is slow, it’s heady sci-fi, it is definitely for a niche audience of sci-fi fans. I thought it was phenomenal and a truly memorable theatre experience for the…

And they did the same thing when the CK story broke. I’d love to know how much abuse women should be expected to take at work just so these poor guys don’t have to lose their idols.

Men seem to be looking for the magic words to continue avoiding any responsibility or punishment for the their actions, but at some point men have to learn that there are consequences for bad behavior. Lord knows women learn it the first time a boy gropes or grabs them in elementary school and are told it’s just boys…

Bless you.

This seems difficult for you so just to be clear: asking a professional woman if she fucks her way through her work is shitty behaviour. Especially at what is essentially a professional networking event. Men get job contacts at those parties, women get treated like ass.
