He is Aodhán Ó Ríordáin - Labour party Senator in the Rep of Ireland. A great guy and one day I hope he runs the country.

I don’t know much about Kubrick as a director or as a person, but aspects of his movies have always bother me. The worst for me is A Clockwork Orange, where I felt like he mostly handled difficult, uncomfortable subject matter well, but then he’d go and turn what was in the book statutory rape, into a fun sex romp.

The novel explicitly says the hotel doesn’t go after Wendy, Duvall’s character, because she is too strong. It goes after Jack because he’s weak. The hotel realises Wendy is a threat, and that’s why it tries to get Jack to kill her. None of this is in the movie, Kubrick turned an interesting, strong female character…

Yes!! I followed the same trajectory with SK. I’ve come back around and I remember how his books moved me through my teens. The ugly cry I had when I finished reading Green Mile was epic and brutal. I didn’t shed a tear at the end of the movie. Misery is one of the very few novels I’ve re-read (I still haven’t seen…

Yeah. This is one reason I fucking hate Kubrick and have literally trashed casual friendships over people defending this in the name of art. (I’ve trashed more longstanding friendships over Polanski but that’s a different matter.)

He’s currently holed up in a tower with pasty gross dudes whispering in his ears. He is Saruman the Orange

This can not get any worse.

This is some great stuff.

.......I still can’t breathe..........after 3 days curled up in a ball, I can finally sort of speak again.....eating will come back later......I have nothing left to give.......when this happened the LAST TIME in 2000, I was only 37 and thought, naively, “I can wait this out”..........I no longer feel that.......thank…

Hell, I’m still mad that Vader got be a Force ghost in the end. “FUCK YOU, VADER, YOU KILLED BILLIONS. YOU ORDERED THE TORTURE OF YOUR OWN DAUGHTER. ONE ACT OF PROTECTING YOUR OWN BLOOD DOESN’T ABSOLVE YOU OF FUCKING GENOCIDE, YOU CRETIN.”

Didn’t the Jedi have it coming though when you think about it? Obi-wan casually uses the Force to mind control people around him on a whim. A man offers him a “death stick” in a bar (some form of cigarette or drug I imagine), and does Obi-wan turn him to the police? Is there an investigation? A trial by a jury of his…

That’s kind of like saying Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Goering didn’t commit genocide. Hitler did.

This is the Fourth, right? At a certain point it’s hard to keep track.

I am literally starting to believe that Megyn Kelly is a psychopath. She has no empathy and literally no ability so see beyond herself.

Here is your White Trump voter, America.

As a white woman - cosigned. We are the problem, it turns out. Fuck white people.

Especially white women who would rather have a misogynist, racist bigot who defames and humiliates women over the MOST QUALIFIED PERSON TO EVER RUN FOR PRESIDENT, who also happens to be a woman. Fuck white women! White knew she was in a thankless gig, when even her own gender can sell out to a p@$$y grabber. Best of…

Precisely. I feel like anyone who has dedicated themselves to a career of public service when they could be doing other things must be rethinking whether they actually want to serve a public who would elect Trump to office. I’m sure lots of people who could be making ten times more money elsewhere are going to go,…

I think as well, not voting at all was convenient cover for supporting things they don’t want to admit to. It has shocked and appalled me the number of men I thought were progressive who have come out of the woodwork to declare that liberals need to scale back their investment in minority and women’s rights. We…
