As others pointed out already they go partly on looks (I have a friend from a Sri Lankan Buddhist family who gets pulled aside for “random” checks more than anyone else I know) but also on names.

When you’re trying to name your kids but all you keep thinking about is the superhero team you made up in middle school.

Good god that would be a depressing diet, enjoy your mangelwurzel soup kids! 

The whole screed is just bizarre, how the hell is that the response from a professional teacher to the parent of one of their students?

It’s odd how it works out sometimes, just look at the Skarsgård’s, Stellan at his peak had the looks of someone who works at your bank and who’s face you can’t remember, but his kids? ...blimey.

The Orwell quote about people getting “the face they deserve” by the time they reach 50 is also applicable here.

Australian Mist..look at these goddamn eyes!

Pro:

I hadn’t read the short (though I’m interested to) but I had no trouble following the film as it was.

Arrival is worth it IMO, and fully deserves the best picture, director and cinematography nods...it’s madness that the woman who’s on screen for the overwhelming majority of the run-time somehow isn’t nominated for her performance.

“You should be big enough to allow people different political opinions”

It seems absurd otherwise, Arrival can’t be one of the best pictures of the year without the woman who is onscreen for about 90% of it being one of the best actresses.

Marches are fake if they’re organised in advance, and riots if they’re not, the only marches that count are *mumbles into hand*.

I’m hoping it was Matt Furie.

It made sense in that way, it just didn’t benefit the story (IMO at least) and added a bunch of holes. It seemed to be there just to give an ending twist, I would have prefered just a good creepy story set in the past.

Yeah, this is an M.Night movie, so there’s no reason to assume the twist will actually make sense *side eyes The Village*

You’d think more people (particularly writers) would know that since it’s a fact that’s key to the plot of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.

So it’s either the same twist as a movie from 1996 or the same twist as a movie from...err...1920.

You weren’t entirely wrong, at least in that DID as it exists in reality bares very little if any resemblance to a “split personality” as it’s portrayed on screen. It belongs in the same bin as “all autistics are savants” and “years of depression can be cured by one pep talk”.
