That’s a child. That’s a dog.’ It wasn’t mean — he just seemed confused. I tried to follow the link to Lenny Letter and yeah it's been totally wiped from the face of the worth lmfao

Girls was a very weird and desperate period for people seeking feminism in entertainment. At least Adam Driver got something out of it.

Egg Moron posted:I am watching the lone gunmen series right now for the first time since it aired 20 years ago and it also deals extensively in conspiracies There's a new comic book series called Department of Truth in which the villains are trying to alter reality to make conspiracy theories come true. It's included the Flat Earth, the Moon landing, satanic panic, and crisis actors so far. An upcoming issue will cover the phantom time hypothesis.

Mr Hootington posted:Have you seen Klute? It is on my list. Okay Klute loving ruled and I'd never heard of it before. Jane Fonda is all-around great as a call girl who gets wrapped up in what starts as a kidnapping, Donald Sutherland is an amazing weirdo as the detective investigating the case, and Roy Schieder has a great bit part as a sleazy pump. The direction, cinematography, and score are top notch at building tension (it's directed by Alan Pakula who did Parallax View) and there's some incredible Epstein brain vibes going on.

the new season of larva is really weird for those who dont know larva is a simple slapstick cartoon about insects who live in a sewer and get into wordless shenanigans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY_sujqyYn8 the second season changed the formula slightly by moving them out of the sewer and into a house https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zXTiZQi0_w the third season changed the formula slightly again by moving them out of the house and into the streets of a city https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWfekV8bVXA the fourth season moves them to a tropical island and i was expecting fairly minor tweaks like what happened with the last two seasons but uh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ4lKR7rg8I all of the supporting characters are gone and there is now a speaking human in the main cast extended pop culture references and storyline episodes are now the rule rather than the exception the shows central gimmick of slapstick gags based around a single object or concept is gone and something about the animation just feels really off now theres too much open space and it never feels like the characters are trapped in corners and forced to come up with ridiculous solutions to get out of them which was like the whole appeal of the show its not really bad but its so different it feels like tuba really wanted to make a new show entirely about the dude going crazy on an island but couldnt get any funding unless larva was involved because those were the main marketable characters they had so yeah its just weird and uhhh capitalism at work i guess because the fourth season coincided with an international netflix release and i dont think its coincidental that the show lost most of its original energy in a misguided attempt to cater to international audiences and introduce plotlines the main reason larva got popular to begin with was because nobody really makes that kind of high energy minimalist slapstick anymore

Farm Frenzy posted:https://twitter.com/Sturgeons_Law/status/1335388767473922048 moreover, why would i encourage my kid to read anything that comes from an environment that manages to make social justice issues primarily about what one person lucky enough to get reasonably compensated to do socially useful artistic labor says to another peer of equal standing on twitter i mean that could conceivably cover something real but at this point that tends to not be a subtle thing that needs much elaboration when you can just post screenshots although id also argue that writing off anything written before (whatever date is woke) is inherently bigoted, because it reduces all previous human culture to 1950s america and comes from a material position which benefits directly from erasing literally everyone who wrote before an arbitrary date because they collectively constitute a massive amount of potential competition from the public domain (and are therefore also more accessable to the marginalized) Hodgepodge has issued a correction as of 09:28 on Dec 6, 2020 |

Hence why they cannibalise each other; the only real targets they can actually claim.

wow, Tenet really is not very good at all. the time gimmick was pretty cool and well executed, I'll give it that. that's the only positive thing I can say about the movie calling the characters two dimensional might be giving it too much credit, there was nothing there at all. just actors reciting exposition. did not give a single gently caress about the giraffe lady and her kid, who appears for 2 seconds in one scene I think. plot straight out of a bad james bond knockoff there was a funny moment during the highway scene where I thought the music was really complete dogshit. but then you see the scene backwards and ooooooh, the music was playing backwards the first time around, it was dogshit on purpose I guess

I'm not a huge fan of hers, but she approaches her reviews from the right place. galagazombie posted:The main character belongs to an ultra-orthodox sect that believes you shouldn't take your hat off. yes, that is also covered in the Tablet piece quote:When Kuill, played by Nick Nolte, takes the Mandalorian under his wing, he is quick to inform him that he has “never met a Mandalorian,” only “read the stories” about the strange race. And yarmulke-wearing Jews who are accustomed to hearing people wonder what the deal is with their funny hat might recognize a familiar question from Mythrol—Horatio Sanz in blue make up. He pesters the Mandalorian, asking the bounty-hunter if “it’s true that you guys never take off your helmets.”

i watched a bunch of ninety day fiance on an airplane once and there was this woman with a samoan dad who hates samoans because theyre a bunch of lazy slackers who ruined samoa then his daughter goes up and gets knocked up by a samoan guy in spite of being a mormon really get the feeling that guy was a trump voter an observation i make not as a slur but to emphasize that minorities supporting trump isnt really as outlandish as youd think when you consider that they arent hive minds and will have varying life experiences as well as varying takes on those life experiences
