These speed bumps seem to actively make the area more dangerous.  One speed bump reminds you to slow down.  Two this close together causes people to lose control of their vehicles.

wow the Sequels ruined an other thing

But will it occasionally awkwardly cut to a deep faked Raymond Burr saying “Yes, I see...”? That’s the real key to a great Godzilla movie.

I’m pretty sure that you just gave the New Republic political structure more thought than any of the live-action writers did (certainly the movie ones).

I get that Rowling profits from this game, but let’s be real: She was clearly making this stuff up as she went along. Until her publisher forced a continuity editor on her, there was very little world-building or anything remotely bordering on consistent lore.

I understand not wanting to support anti-Trans billionaire JK Rowling 1,000%. I’m not defending any part of that revolting cunt’s war on the Trans community.

This is the take. Absolutely don’t play it if it bothers you, put forth any and every critique you’ve got against it, (which is sadly not happening a lot, what a shocker that when all the critical folks stay away out of principle, the conversation is dominated by deeply uncritical people!) but this absurd line-in-the-s…

Look, the blunt truth is this:

We all know who Cameron is. And we all remember how Avatar was an effects spectacle with pretty much nothing else going for it creatively. “Excellent”? Technically, sure. Story, characters, performances, setting, pacing? It’s at about the level of a low-tier Pixar movie. And way below Cameron’s previous efforts, which…

Yeah, I’ll see it. I won’t pay to see it, (which is probably the more pertinent factor in question here) but I will see it.

“..he knows you’ll watch it.”

Yeah I would describe her as “girl next door” pretty. Which doesn’t really work for the “slutty dead cheerleader” thing they were trying to do- cheerleader as girl next door is more 50s/60s or like Buffy. But anyway the whole article is a reach since she’s one of 3 characters that die in a short span of time. It’s…

Insurance is little more than a bet against future risk - the insurance company bets against something happening, you bet it does, the amount of the bet is priced against the probability of the risk being realized. Unlike a lot of people, I’m perfectly fine with that.

It must be exhausting to be you and see everything through a lens of victimhood. And then to miss the point so thoroughly just adds to the second hand embarrassment we all feel for you.

“You literally chose to focus on one aspect of her character (that she is a cheerleader) so you can get mad about something.”

That’s kind of Emily Leibert’s whole deal. Did you know that she used to be a cheerleader? She may have mentioned it once or seven times. 

The fact that you wrote this article means they did their job.

The real cheerleading—the cheerleading that I know and love—is nothing like what it’s been depicted as (save for Netflix’s Cheer docuseries and Bring It On’s racially diverse and entrepreneurial Clovers led by Gabrielle Union). The real cheerleading is a sport, not a clique of spoiled brats.

And the cheerleader didn’t have that support network because the people in her life boxed her into her head cheerleader trope role, failing to fully acknowledge her humanity. Hence, she doesn’t survive.

Is the dead cheerleader a stereotypical trope? Absolutely. But to point out Chrissy’s character is notably different than the cheerleaders who died before her, only to ignore how that defense essentially contradicts your general argument that her death is “carrying out the natural ending for a whoring villain” is...…

Isn’t the whole point of Stranger Things the repetition of tropes from 1980s adventure/sci-fi/teen movies? It’s all deliberate homage.
