Don’t trust tall, handsome, fit men.

Always good to see another fan of Stock Talk with Todd Bloch on Tik Tok.

Yeah, I’m not sure “I just sit back and enjoy the rot” is the moral high ground ultra man thinks it is.

I think the offenders in the stocks would adapt to the omnipresence of cameras.

It’s not just queer stuff, either. I remember a cereal commercial that featured an interracial couple and comments everywhere were furious that they were “shoving it down our throats.” I don’t know what “it” was, but having it exist on TV amounted to having “it” shoved down your throat.

i dunno about that one. 

It’s funny, because in other threads you see apoplectic dipshits proclaiming that queer visibility and incremental increases in queer representation in media amounts to a fucking takeover.

I don’t think most people expect corporations to reflect their values, just not actively oppose them. I’m Gen X. I stopped going to Chik Fil-A because of their support of anti-LGBTQ causes. Most places I shop or buy food, I don’t know their values, so I don’t care. It’s only when they put it out there for all to see.

and a right-wing rumor that shopping at Target makes you “gay and a pervert.”

“No one is saying (I think?) that just because nepotism was involved you don’t deserve to be able to act.”

Sure, but there are usually many qualified people for those jobs and for every person who got a job through nepotism , there are ten (or a hundred) more just as qualified if not moreso, who did not get that job.

There’s a huge difference between working at your parent’s store and getting your foot in the door in an industry where there are 1,000 qualified candidates for every job.

It isn’t to create generational talent

We’ve known about the possible prequel since Fury Road itself. If we’re gonna play the game of pretending to know the demands of fandom, I’ll go ahead and state that *I* and everyone I know who saw Fury Road were looking forward to this and were disappointed that it took so long. The development time was a bummer. I…

This is literally all anyone has ever asked. And I take it to reflect that Maya Hawke is confident enough as an actress and artist and comfortable enough in her career to know she’s going to be weighed favorably on her merits against her advantages and it doesn’t make her less if someone else got screwed over it. To…

Except the economic motivations of those hiring nepo children isn’t to fill a role that sells a lot of tickets, it’s to create a generational talent with access to the same network of contacts and producers that the parent had. Lily Rose-Depp, Scott Eastwood, Zosia Mamet. These aren’t actors getting jobs because…

The AVERAGE farm household income post-expenses is 1.7 million dollars per year. In rural areas. And is heavily subsidized by the US government.

I noticed Fury Road has been trending recently and tbh I think ur right where people finished it knowing it’s similar/better than Furiosa and then just lose interest in seeing Furiosa

Mad Max is kind of a one trick pony. “Let’s get some valuable cargo from point A to point B while we’re being chase by funny looking people in cars.” It’s a post apocalypse Smokey and the Bandit. Do it with zombie Burt Reynolds, and I think they’ll see a better return.

Upon reflection its probably because it was the 20th anniversary of the film, released May 7th 2004.
