I mean the only good thing with Trump is that he is making everyone politically active. If you get rid of him everything goes back to "normal" and the rapid grassroot movement will crumble away. Also, yea, don't pretend he is different then the rest of the sexist, racist, xenophobic GOP. Curious to see if he will still go on this trip.

Dissapointed Owl posted:I need a good cry. Gimme a tearjerker recommendation. Never Let Me Go. That episode of All in The Family when Edith dies. DC Murderverse posted:after what seems like a loving eternity, they're actually going to film one of my favorite unproduced scripts, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, and we're getting Ted Bundy portrayed by Zac Efron. This casting really solidifies that they're gonna do this movie up right, since the "joke" of the script is that it basically doesn't reveal who the main character is until he actually ends up in jail (before then he's just an attractive law student working at a suicide hotline and for political campaigns, who is dating a woman with a kid) by looking at Bundy through the eyes of the woman he's dating on and off. You could cast someone really obviously serial killer-y to play Bundy and just make it your typical true crime serial killer movie, but that's way less interesting. A big reason why Ted Bundy was good at killing people was because women thought he was charming and very attractive, so that's good casting.

married but discreet posted:I liked the book, what's wrong with the movie? I hated it. It felt extremely exploitative and not in a way I enjoy. Like I was looking at the screenwriter just inching towards his masturbation fantasy, cringy step-by-hamfisted-step, awkwardly twisting the situation to make it happen, until he gets what he wanted and there ya go. It's on the screen. gently caress you. I felt very similar to Roger Ebert's opinion on the film.

Lord Krangdar posted:That "both sides are the same" meme needs to be burnt to the ground and the earth it grew on salted. Nobody is saying Obama and Trump are the same or whatever. It's the simple fact that two Presidencies of consolidating executive power with a rapid expansion of national surveillance and a string of idiotic military actions from illegal war to illegal drone strikes to giving al-Qaeda and Saudi Arabia boatloads of arms created a turnkey tyranny which Obama insisted must be handed over to an irrational fascist in a "peaceful transition of power." Liberalism is not the same as the nightmare the Right has become. It simply exists in a perpetual state of compromise to appear rational and cultivate "political capital" against an entity dragging the political spectrum more and more to the right with no respect or interest in political capital. It doesn't stand for anything much less have a backbone because it exists in this perpetual state of compromise. The Democrats need to actually stand for something, some ideal, that they can turn to the people and say if you support us we'll do this this and this for you. Instead it's tax credits and means tested claptrap that creates further divides as to not upset the capital holders who loom over American society. Obama was a bad President who didn't punish the financial criminals that bankrupted our economy, signed off on illegal drone assassinations with a 90% failure rate, and his economic "recovery" did little but create jobs in retail and service industries that provide no career, stability, or even a wage to live on. Instead, we're subsidizing the profits of the wealthy via welfare programs like food stamps so these "job creators" don't have to pay a living wage. It was an inevitability, even if Hillary was elected, that a horrendous monster like Trump, except now more competent and charismatic would be elected. Liberalism does not see the fundamental rot that has infested our economy. They don't believe in the legitimacy of wielding public power to serve the nation's interests - whatever happens, it's just that pesky market and their invisible hand at work, it would be unAmerican to try and do anything about that. The only "sides" in America are those who have capital and those who don't. And the latter doesn't get a political party to look out for them, don't get pundits to speak up for them on the news, don't get policy platforms targeted to smooth out this jagged rift of inequality. So with no answers and no leaders, it creates a cesspool for fascism to grow, for hucksters like Trump and Spencer and Jones to capitalize upon. The Democrats cultivated that environment, and are far more comfortable chasing after their fantasy of the "reasonable conservative" than actual poor people who need help. That's not the same as Trump. But it sure helps him out more than any "BernieBro" ever did.

If you get rid of him everything goes back to "normal" and the rapid grassroot movement will crumble away. I honestly think Trump is exactly what's needed in this country to wake up people. In 15 years, I've gone from conservative to libertarian to liberal because of how blatantly evil the Republicans have become. Maybe it's because I've matured politically, but it's not even hyperbole how they're trying to set the country back by 100 years. The scary thing is that his administration has done a perfect job of lining up the succession just as insane and/or corrupt as he is, that an impeachment is only a partial victory until the Democrats can knock down the Republican majority. By the way, everyone needs to see The Best Man and Advise & Consent. Just watched those yesterday - it's not surprising how little has changed in 50 years. (Also saw Blood and Black Lace - Mario Bava films the most beautiful murders)
