The first movie was a tolerable ‘Feature length episode’ type conclusion. Even though I wanted to slap Samantha for the ‘I love you, but I love me more’ bullshit she pulled with Smith. The second movie was just offensive on SO MANY LEVELS. An all-expenses-paid trip to Dubai to stay in a luxury resort that shoehorns in…
Bigly bad news. Fake News.
This is an evocative passage for me. As a woman, I’ve been subject to, witnessed, and consoled other women who have fallen prey to these tactics.
No, although there are plenty of contemporary movies where Nazi’s are the ‘bad guy’ element - such as Indiana Jones, Sound of Music, etc that provide a valid context for adopting such a costume. Putting aside whether or not it’s ‘cool’ or even ‘okay’, the point I’m trying to make is that the Sun (which is not even fit…
But you have to ask - why drag up a 14yo picture in the first place? If it(the party/dressing up incident) happened last week, then sure, it was in poor taste given the events that have been unfolding since Trump entered the White House. But to dredge up a 14yo picture - what was the point? What point are they trying…
Oh yeah, it’s really easy for history books to gloss over the #NOTALL details - it’s kinda like how Trump and his rabid fanbase of white supremacist racist douchebags don’t represent ALL Americans.
LOL. Depends on your perspective I guess.
This current round of ‘letters’ has certainly raised some interesting viewpoints.
TBH Dragon seems likely following the popularity of GoT
SO MANY of the people in my facebook friends list have REALLY poor taste and swoon over this shit. It’s AWFUL! LeHusband and I only watch it to LAUGH at it and so we have enough material to use while taking the piss. We hate!watch it - and we NEVER pay for it specifically - we’ll only watch it if it’s on Sky Movies as…
No, but then most ‘WWII German Army Officer’ Fancy dress costumes available to rent generally have the swastika armband to make it absolutely obvious. You’d have to put in a lot of work to find something relatively cheap that doesn’t actually have the swastika on it. Or, rather, 15 years ago you DEFINITELY didn’t have…
We’ve kinda already been through the ‘Playboy Bunny’ and ‘Katniss Everdeen’ trends though. Isn’t this basically a mashup of those?
Does your Wolpertinger linger?
Yeah! A resurgence of 80's New Romantic style! So we can all look like Poldark rejects! SWEET!
Have I missed the Phoenix trend? I don’t see the Phoenix on the list....
I would agree - my Grandfather served as a Desert Rat in WWII and his best friend died in an attack. He told stories of how their convoy was in a Sandstorm and they had to stop to repair something. When they rejoined the convoy amid the howling wind and thick sand, they realised the rest of the convoy were speaking…
Although it’s worth pointing out that the German Officer characters in ‘Allo Allo’ were, in fact, the butt of most of the jokes and the entire series was basically a piss take of Nazi occupation of France.
The adverts before the final judging piss me off.
The thing is, ‘Allo Allo’ is a CLASSIC TV show, beloved by the WWII generation and beyond. In recent years, british TV has become a cess pit of politically correct blandness and reality TV shows showcasing the worst people britain has to offer, but many ‘classic’ TV shows are shockingly un-PC - Only Fools & Horses,…
