“You say these people were oppressed? Oh, yeah?!? Well are you aware that OTHER people have also been oppressed? Well, they were. So, there.”

You’re a tool. STFU.

Sorry, but there are grammar errors all over this:

“Take-Two notes that the organizations has been referenced in countless other Western stories with no legal issues being raised.”
That should be “organization,” singular.

“Meanwhile, the publisher just have to pull one last job and then it’ll have enough money to run…

Except Killmonger.

Totally agree. Own what you did, even if you didn’t mean to do it. Commit to doing better on purpose. Very impressive.

That’s a good list, though Prince Sign O the Times belongs on it.

The Havana version is correct. I had a sloppy Joe at the original Sloppy Joe’s the summer after Americans were first allowed to travel there and it was delicious.

It’s kind of like breaking Babe Ruth’s homerun record, though. The season is longer, and no one has gotten to 60 faster than Ruth (and that’s with him basically training by consuming hot dogs and bathtub gin). The Beatles got there when record sales mattered and with a much more difficult bar to reach the top 100.…

Just reread your and my last 4 or 5 posts, maybe in a loop. This conversation is becoming circular. We think each other is wrong. Got it.

“I’m not taking the kiss out of context. I’m aware of how the story goes. But it’s still a man kissing an unconscious woman regardless of that context. And it’s one of two seminal princess stories where that happens. Examining that and making a point of discussing how kissing someone, especially someone unconscious,…

And nobody did. But way to spin the conversation in a way it wasn’t actually going when you started. You were making the case that this particular film is part of a general problem. And it isn’t.

Maybe. But you don’t blame the film if people came to the wrong conclusion about it because they weren’t paying enough attention or can’t be bothered to remind themselves what actually happened in it, having not seen it for years (and clearly not since becoming so very woke).

It’s not date rape. It’s a peck on the lips from her (previously established) true love when he thinks she’s dead. I’m married. If my wife and I were separated by some event and after searching for her I came across her in a crystal coffin, with mourners weeping all around her, I’d kiss her goodbye. And if that kiss…

Except in Snow White, she was his girlfriend. They fall in love at the beginning of the movie and sing a duet. He finds her later, assumes his true love is dead and kisses her goodbye. I get why the trope is a problem. But in the context of this particular film, you’re being ridiculous.

Well, sure. Jury is still out on Cary Grant, too.

Why did you say that name?!?

Eccleston was my first, and I still like him best in the role. I would have loved to have seen 2 more seasons with him. That said, I’m a fan of all the NuWho Doctors on some level, and I’m stoked for season 13.

Only if you want to be on the highest court. If you can’t hold it together while being interviewed for the SCOTUS, you don’t belong on the SCOTUS.

Exactly right. It was in fact the main point she was trying to make, which people ignored when “basket of deplorables” took off. Here’s the full quote in context:

Excellent point about his editing, but I think that was Bowling for Columbine.
