CPL593H posted:I've never actually heard of a place lowering the minimum wage. What the gently caress? Why is this a thing that they can even do? Yeah but the median income of Trump voters was higher than it was for Clinton- the focus on the "working class rebellion" is kind of a false narrative. It's the elites voting to keep their taxes low and *just enough* rubes getting conned to make it easier.

Budgie Jumping posted:What the poo poo. Elephant Man is like my favorite movie and I had no idea about that. He didn't take credit for The Elephant Man or The Fly because he knew his name would give the wrong idea about the films. Also, Brooks loved Eraserhead, which is why he hired Lynch to direct The Elephant Man.

Started to watch X-Men Apocalypse just now and I like the idea that Professor Xavier just rotates in his wheelchair while he reads stuff at the students conveniently gathered in a circle around him. Like, for 90 minutes. Round and round. And they all take notes, too.

Mel Brooks is a great man and those who speak ill of him or his work will taste my wrath. Except Spaceballs, I get why people don't like that one.

To be sure Brooks relies on very corny hacky material, but sometimes that's really really funny. It's sort of the Muppet Show principle that a joke that is not good enough to tell once may be bad enough to tell several times. And yeah, as a producer/backer of talent he's great. Kept the suits off Lynch's back on Elephant Man, told Cronenberg to go as extreme as he wanted, etc.

Holy poo poo, Queen Kong is just so amazing. The lyrics to the opening credits theme (performed by a band called "Pepper") are so amazing, and holy poo poo the entire soundtrack was released stateside in '05! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFcaGS8bHpg

The Babadook is an excellent movie. I do think that it is (as peculiar as this may sound) far too close to my own lived experiences for me to say that I liked it. I appreciate its honesty and optimism, and I recognize it as a great film, but I can't say that watching it was an enjoyable or amusing experience. Not all good films need to be.

Skwirl posted:Someone needs to see Love and Death. All of Woody Allen's 70s comedies are gold, though he didn't seem to do much in the way of dick joke humor other than Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex. Unless the orgasm sphere in Sleeper counts. Also, here's Orson Welles gushing over Andy Kaufman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrGlWAFy1LU

Got to see Metropolitan for the first time tonight (really liked it!) and then bend Whit Stillman's ear for a couple of questions about writing after the showing. He was a very helpful, soft-spoken and pleasant subject.

CPL593H posted:Most people who vote republican are doing so against their own best interests so this doesn't seem unusual. Just look at how many rubes are crawling out of the woodwork to say they regret voting for Trump. No they aren't. Republicans make more on average than democrats or the general population, have a higher median income, and live in less expensive counties to boot. Republicans don't win by tricking large numbers of poor people, they win by ensuring minimum turnout, which Democrats enable by constantly moving right and kicking their base.
