I’m an atheist too, but I love religious Christmas music! O Come All Ye Faithful and that kind of stuff. Silent Night, O Holy Night...I don’t know. I basically celebrate Giftmas, but whatever.

I’m another atheist who far prefers traditional, religious Christmas hymns. They’re more beautiful, less sentimental, and easier for people to sing along to because they don’t require vocal acrobatics. I probably wouldn’t notice if I never heard one of them again, but I’ll happily sing along a couple days out of the…
I’m down with this. I can’t stand Christmas music even during the week of Christmas. Oddly (because I’m an atheist) the only kind I find tolerable is choral Christmas hymns, but I’d even be fine with never hearing them again either.
I like how $200/kid is “cheapskate parenting strategies.” Like, what world are you living in? That is SO MANY BARBIES.
That’s good, I expect him to go more whiny though.
Smug liberal elitist professor can’t teach anything. Doesn’t even make a good pin cushion. Sad!
I love this new Spider Man, and the reaction to his introduction in Civil War was insane. I actually appreciate seeing him as he began: a high school kid. He looks like a believable 16-year-old, rather than a 40-year-old pretending to be 20.
Well he’s 20, and Andrew Garfield was about 30 when he was playing a high schooler... So there’s that.
In past years, movies like Inception and anything involving Jason Bourne have topped box office charts, but those films hewed to a kind of reality that’s at the very least recognizable
Okay, this is petty and off-topic, but HOLY FUCK CAN THESE PEOPLE LEARN TO PUT ON THEIR FUCKING EYELASHES!! God, better to have your piddly little god-given lashes than one half drooping off making you look all drugged up. Kelly-Ann Conway also had an issue with this recently and it was all I could see. One was coming…
“Trump wins the popular vote if you take away the most populous state in the country.”
Y’know, passing the Paycheck Fairness Act would be an even BIGGER step towards equality...just sayin’...but yeah sure draft women that’s good too I guess.
I never understand people with that attitude. Yes, if you break any story down to its most basic components they will pretty much all have been done many times before. But you don’t go to a movie and just come away with its most basic components. The details are what make it.
I liked Zootopia, but the more I think about it, the more muddied the message becomes. Because they tried to do SO many racism allegories that didn’t quite fit, or fit but caused the scales to tip one way or another too far, and it was just sort of a mess by the end. If I want my racism allegories to be told with…
Remember folks- dismiss or flag locomotive jones- he’s already been reported so hopefully he’ll be banned by the morning. But if you don’t dismiss he’ll replace his comments with rape and animal torture pics.
Oh FFS, Debbie Downer. Now tell me about feline leukemia. #yourewrong #thismoviewaswonderful #ilovemoana #icried
The concept of fate or selection negating agency is really strange to me. At one point in the second half of the story, Moana asks the ocean to “un-choose” her, because she decides that the path is too difficult. While this emphasizes the ocean’s participation in the story it also emphasizes Moana’s hard work up until…
Did I write this comment? I think so because it’s exactly what I was thinking.
I personally didn’t see Moana as a film that fell into the usual trappings. There is no prince/ love interest, there is no true over-arching antagonist, and unlike the princess stories of old the male lead is not the hero.
“We Know the Way” is my jam.
