I would argue that Watchmen didn’t work because Snyder misunderstands almost all the motivations of the various characters involved as well as the underlying themes of the comic itself.

Yes, but at least those movies changed the setting. The equivalent of Ghost in the Shell would be to remake The Seven Samurai not by changing the setting to the West, but by continuing to set it in Japan and having, say, five of the seven samurai be white men who mysteriously find themselves in Japan hundreds of…

There can be value in these remakes- and they can even involve recasting white people (if done right, and delicately). It just has to be fucking authentic. The producers need to have something to say, to add, to the conversation. Be inspired by the source material and make something new. Don’t take the original music…

While the whitewashing may have been a factor it is not why this movie failed. It failed because it is a piece of shit Hollywood knockoff

While the whitewashing may have been a factor it is not why this movie failed. It failed because it is a piece of shit Hollywood knockoff of the original work that thought it could replicate some scenes from the original and have a built in fan base. They made a movie too niche for general audiences and too…

Yay!

During the Bush administration, where there was one corrupt connection after another (the false premise of the Iraq war, Abu Ghraib, Halliburton/KBR, Enron, the doxxing of Valerie Plame, etc.) either extensively reported in the media or eventually investigated by Congress. I was always thinking, “This is it. This is…

It’s scary as fuck how many progressives jumped onto the Tulsi Gabbard ship without knowing anything about her beyond Bernie endorsed her. The fact that he did also shows the pettiness of his character

Agreed. I looooove Hillary. Always have, always will. My eyes teared up when I saw this picture of her and I’ll probably be a little bitter towards whomever eventually becomes the first female president. But yeah, there is no way she should run again in 2020

I love Hillary like a second mother (this is barely an exaggeration, it’s so well known in my social circle that I had people calling me after the election as if family member had died) but Hillary would lose against Trump in 2020. I think it is PROFOUNDLY unfair but people have made up their minds about her and Bill.…

Disagree with you on one point. During her term as Secretary of State, she was very popular. Popular enough that there was a lot of talk that Obama should have/was going to replace Biden with Clinton on the 2012 ticket. But once she left the office and Republicans had a new target to put on the Clintons, they dragged…

I don’t think she will. She’s probably just going to give speeches like this and that’s probably it. I absolutely do not want Bernie Sanders to run.

Tuxedo cats are the best!

This is my cat, Mr. Nibbles, on top of my feet every night while I watch TV.

Looks like my Poindexter <3

Look at those beautiful green eyes! My kitty loves belly rubs and soft blankets too

She is suspicious of your plan.

My boy loves to curl around my neck, sleep on my head, etc. My favorite is when he rests his head into my forehead and just stays there, head to head. :)

Veronica is the one top. She won’t take food from other people besides me. She has to be by me and will follow me around the house.
