You're right, I apologize. Bear with me because I'm still getting it through my privileged cis-male Nazi brain: those of us on The Right Side of History don't cite facts, we don't quote specific remarks that we object to; we operate instead on emotion, on feeling.

I didn't intend to rebut that. I agree with you. I think Trump's America-first rhetoric is absolutely toxic and, as far as I'm concerned, his anti-disabled antics are 100% responsible for those Chicago youths who kidnapped that special-needs white kid and forced him to drink toilet water and say "FUCK TRUMP" on video…

Quote the specific anti-gay, anti-disabled, or racist comments of Trump's that you disagree with.

hahahahahahahaha! I know, right!

You misunderstand. I think my inherent cis-male rapey-ness is causing me to come off the wrong way.

You misunderstand. I'm on your side. I absolutely loathe these pea-brained Nazis who insist that we consider the potential consequences of open borders and having all our manufacturing jobs shipped overseas.

What sarcasm, friend-o? I wholeheartedly endorse public lectures from people who are completely, massively disassociated from the consequences of the things that they're advocating.

I, for one, applaud Miss Streep's boldness here in saying things that she knew would not be popular. Things that she surely knew could potentially put her career in jeopardy and gain her nothing short of an icy reaction from Hollywood, from the national media and the all-around pop-culture tastemakers.

2016 happened.
Trump happened.

Makes sense. Big words and coherent ideas tend to bore morons.

Seeing as how I only post a few times a year and still receive emails and occasional comments, I'd say it isn't too bad. Tell me, what do the sad fucking losers on the internet without film blogs do to fill their time?

I bet you thought this was a really snappy comeback, didn't you? Question: how long until your sixteenth birthday?

Also go fuck yourself.

Tom G. Warrior? That's Celtic Frost you're thinking of, not Manowar.

This stuff needed to be said and you said it. Granted, I happen to reserve a place for Nashville on my Favorite Films list but the glaring phoniness of its music has always been one of the sticking points for me.

a lot of women are socialized into trying to change themselves in order
to be what men want them to be, and … men don't face nearly the same
societal pressure to be what women want men to be like

Switch it around for a moment. Imagine that your question was directed at a woman involved with an unstable, violent boyfriend, and that she gave the same response as the male friends in your scenario.

I still call Fight Club "my favorite romantic comedy" despite the fact the relationship starts with a rape.

Get the fuck out of here with that dickless ever-expanding-definition-of-rape bullshit. At no point in the film Fight Club is Marla Singer raped.

I have yet to see this apparently scintillating and ever so timely racial satire but I do know this: that cast photo above is just crying out to be made into one of those "The Negro Community Frowns Upon Your Shenanigans" memes.
