Like, regardless of my politics, Succession in an aggressively leftist show that is in part about politics. Most of the Roys actively mock their own anchors, viewers, and specifically Mencken as Nazis. I'm just reporting on the text of the show.

but I’m honestly tired of seeing this kind of story set in South East Asia, led by white people, again and again. I’m sure it’s fine, but it does seem like it has very little imagination.

Ooh you did the “but what about the opposite” thing. Very smart and clever.

“The Munsters (original) was low-brow and goofy but it was made by competent professionals who knew what they were doing.”

Hi Luke, I love the donut story, but clicking on the thread, it sounds like Vic’s not the one making donuts, someone (alias Don Quixote) he’s replying to is. Unless I misread it? Maybe you should go back and check.

“It seems like she’s repeating the misses of her career instead of the hits.”

“Clearly they recognize them as humans as they describe incentives to get them to work.”

Ya gotta mark your comment as sarcasm my guy. It flew over so many heads.

“About time”

JFC can you not give it a fucking rest for one FRACTION of a second.

No, the frequency with which children get married in his work in not accurate to the Middle Ages. He found some very unusual incidents in history and then made a whole bunch of them in his series. Of course, he’s not aiming at realism so there’s a lot of exaggeration, but I don’t think he’s always aware of just how…

Average age of first marriage in the middle ages was 19-20 for both men and women. Nobility might be betrothed earlier, but people were aware that pregnancy and birth were dangerous for young girls. Someone like Margaret Beaufort being married and pregnant at 12 was the outlier not the norm.

My takeaway was that the protestor was adopted and had been raised by her adoptive family to think this way. She came across as brainwashed and desperate.

I agree they could have written the scene a little differently, but I think it comes across well enough that 1) the protestor’s argument isn’t especially compelling on its own, and 2) that Juno is more overwhelmed than convinced. Juno’s own recap of the scene suggests she’s just as put off by the receptionist offering…

It’s really a shame that a movie which clearly thinks abortion should be legal but tells the story about a young woman who still decides not to get one is upheld as anti-choice/anti-abortion. I don’t think Cody has anything to apologize for.

It isn’t vague at all. Judging creative works (or history, for that matter) based on Bill O’Reilly’s capacity for misinterpreting them isn’t ever a good idea.

I think the movie does a good job showing how vulnerable you are being young and pregnant. Juno is taken advantage of and influenced by a lot of other peoples expectations on her body. I didn’t find it anti-choice, instead I think it did a good job of showing what a traumatic experience it is having so many others…

This is so nice to make fun of someone with a disability
