Well yeah, lying is a good skill to have to make through small talk.

Yeah, I’d imagine more people would flip their shit over that... I mean OK, erasing Rose is shitty, but Chewie? Chewie??
Some of the most physically unattractive dudes I know are either in happy relationships with women (or men, as the case sometimes is), or get laid regularly. And no, they’re not super rich either. Physical attractiveness, being outgoing, etc. are not the only thing that can get you laid, what you need is an attractive…
Oh, definitely. In my country our current fascist government demonizes women who don’t have children, but even without that, society tends to look at childless women as freaks or selfish “feminazis” who gave up their womanhood for career and money (haha, if only). Even in progressive/liberal circles it tends to be…
As far as I can think back I can’t remember a time I ever wanted children. When I received toy babies and strollers and whatnot as gifts I never played with them - apparently I didn’t even know what to do with them. (All I remember is putting the cat into a toy stroller.) I never knew what to do with actual babies, I…
OK, I’ll bite.
As much as I hate this dickwinkle sometimes I really want some of the stuff he seems to be on...
I mean, it’s an allegory? The credit card companies represent the oppressive, patriarchal, capitalist system that was one of the things that fucked the protagonist up in the first place. It’s a toxic system that falls because of the toxic elements it helped nurture destroy it from within. And he walks off with the…
And the bigger the hysteria over the movie the larger the possibility of alt-right/extremist ghouls lashing back with abuse, trolling, etc... god forbid some fucking idiot using the media attention to actually do something terrible. I’m not saying a movie can’t be criticized, but the overreactions (sometimes to the…
I’m a woman, but nice try.
You just proved my point...
Fight Club pretty much did end on a “fuck all that shit” beat. It’s not the movie’s fault that some people didn’t understand/willfully misunderstood what it was saying and decided it was about “WHOA MANLY BROS BEING BROS SO COOL” instead of taking the movie as intended (ie. “Toxic Masculinity: The Movie”).
Oh for fuck’s sake, this is ridiculous. Both that there’s reason to be afraid and that a movie can’t bloody tell a story and character study and hope that the audience will be intelligent enough to take it the way intended, without such extreme, exaggerated reactions from all sides.
I really don’t mind knowing about movies long before they’re officially released. I just wish there was more effort put into actually reminding me of their existence when they’re released, seeing how neither Netflix nor Amazon are particularly good at promoting their stuff.
I remember when local movie theaters showed Michael Mann’s ‘Heat’ (great movie by the way) with an intermission because at 170 minutes it was considered way too long to watch in one sitting.
Because a bunch of people have already decided that this movie is terrible incel mass murderer wannabe apologist propaganda, a la Fight Club. (Because Fight Club was all those things, obviously.) They decided it based on a trailer, and a couple of reviews that said the audience is meant to empathize with the Joker,…
And even before it comes out, all the most annoying types are out hating about it, having preemptively decided that it’s going to be terrible, because of their own fantasies and preconceptions about it, and its projected popularity with a certain demographics.
Some reviewers said the audience is meant to empathize with the Joker in the movie. Some people immediately had this thought process: movie not having a black and white morality? -> omg they’re making the villain sympathetic and justify his crimes! -> white incel mass shooter wannabes are gonna love this -> the Joker…
In case anyone was wondering, Google’s assistant says: “I’m a strong believer in equality, so I definitely consider myself a feminist [fist emoji]”
Dude, it’s also accepting ad money from authoritarian governments that love right-wing shit like Patriot Prayers, and whose leaders dream of being allowed to suck Trump’s dick one day. But dream on about being oppressed.
