Fun fact about the paragraph on police brutality: change “McGrath” to “Klobuchar,” and there’s literally no other difference.

Why do you have to ruin a movie I can watch by turning my brain off by posting thoughts that make sense?
Okay, anecdote time. I was serving on the Enterprise when they filmed the carrier sequences. Navy combat ships back then were 100% male - female sailors were only allowed on support ships. The Navy’s weird relationship with homosexuality doesn’t need to be repeated here, but Top Gun is absolutely an homage to it to…
The deadpan invocation of gay sex amongst straight-identified men is de rigueur shit-talking, a way of affirming the unassailability of one’s heterosexuality: “I’m so straight that acting gay will do nothing to alter me.” It’s an expression of power that, however subtly, others gayness and often implies its weakness…
Really, how deep was the trench that they made 5' 10" Kelly McGillis stand in so Cruise could appear taller than?
“Because I Was Inverted.”
“I Am Dangerous.”
“Son, Your Ego Is Writing Checks Your Body Can’t Cash.”
The irony is how their inexperience probably lead to the show being so good in the first couple of seasons. They themselves admitted the first couple of seasons were their ‘film school’. So they had this huge bank of experienced creatives who they would say yes to their ideas, because they had none. A costume…
THIS!
‘I felt less like a woman from the 1970s and more like the sentient garbage heap in Fraggle Rock.’
And then wanted to run a show about the Confederacy winning. HBO thankfully read the room and shut it down but it was only because of Charlottesville.
I still can’t get over the goddamn cringe factor on that photo
Benioff and Weiss, the white guys that messed up Game of Thrones when they ran out of original book material to rip, got to run a show with little to no experience but deep family connections at HBO. That's the game in a nutshell.
Hollywood, y’all fucked up in how you presented your practically useless attempt to cash in say “. You should have went in the same way the Democratic Congress does; show up with some bullshit symbolism, that absolutely no one asked for/showing how fucking out of touch the folks who are supposed to be “our allies”,…
You can’t wave the flag of treason and call yourself an American. Real Americans defeated the confederate treason and 20th Century fascism. Real Americans will not let a minority fifth column of Russian supported racists steal our country. These people are an ignorant minority, over represented in the Senate and…
Yeah, anybody supporting this running down people tactic bullshit is suspect as fuck.
But by the grace of god that none of those folks was killed by that cruiser. I don’t care about their excuses; that is attempted manslaughter at least and attempted murder if it’s not.
told the Free Press that the back window of the vehicle had been smashed in by the protesters.
I do also want to add that Fight Club being listed here as a “drama celebrating unbridled masculinity” and “The Man Show” being considered satire when it was not makes my brain explode. Admittedly, many of the Palahniuk-obsessed dudebros of the era also totally missed that it’s a gay man’s commentary on the…
