My issue with this film is that they completely changed who Anne Elliot is at her core. This isn’t about being a Jane Austen purist. Clueless is one of my favorite adaptations of Emma but with that film, despite being completely modernized in every way possible, Cher is still Emma.

Oh I know. Thought we just chatting about movies! :) 

There are shots for that. 

They aren’t dreary but just boring? Which is almost worst than dreary. I think I am super disappointed in WW84 because they brought back Steve for no reason other than Chris Pine is delightful but not even he could save that storyline. I wasn’t even as bothered as others by the problematic way he was brought back. I…

I forget that Shazam is part of DC.

It was an improvement but I find the current DC movies pretty joyless, despite wanting Marvel to tone it down with the amount of shows and movies I usually at least have a laugh or two when I watch them.

Jeff Goldblum.

I also feel like you are maybe messing with me which is also hilarious.

Yeah but they were influenced by those fake accounts. I remember a lot of my friends/family having similar responses to Clinton when she ran for president. Like people who were disappointed she lost the nomination against Obama now acted like she was the devil in 2016.

I have only seen the first movie and been on the Universal Studios ride but I am glad my point has been proven! :)

But the problem is all art is a reflection of the creator’s psyche which is a direct development of parents, society, etc. which includes politics. Even escapism is usually saying something. Obviously sometimes you shouldn’t take things too seriously. But even silly movies like The Goonies has politics in it, the…

I basically say that, but people get really irked when you use modern phrasing for older literary work.

Fight Club isn’t condemnation of toxic masculinity because that isn’t really a term that existed back then. But it is a condemnation of capitalism and the use of violence to confirm manhood and how cliched ideas about manhood can lead to someone’s own destruction. 

This. It really shocks me when fanboys get upset that the Marvel movies get even a little political. Like buddy, those are actually watered down compared to some of the comics.

It would have been nice if someone like her step-mom at least debunked some of the anti-abortion talk but at the same time that is the sort of thing they shout at you so it’s realistic.

who on earth played Sims for realism. lol

Any generation that voted for Reagan is embarrassing.

This. I think people think they are so special but they really aren’t. Like Sir Issac Newton ain’t the only person in the world who noticed crap falling to the ground and wondering what that’s about. He just was in the position to have his theory listen to and thus got credit for it.

What’s funny is that the US isn’t the most litigious country in the world but the PR machine has convinced we are and actually shamed us into not suing when we should. Last report I read was we didn’t break the top ten. The truth is we should be more litigious against corporations and we would probably have better…

America will absolutely stand for it. I think what people miss about the book The Handmaiden’s Tale which the show barely addresses was that everyone did accept it through indifference and/or blindness. They kept saying “this will never happen,” “someone will stop it,” etc. except no one did because by the time it was…
