Victory Position posted:a true cynic would see a disabled man's opportunity to walk again as being the impetus for a world's defense and triumph i see people saying a lot that the movie is ableist because jake sully wants to walk again. but like, i've met plenty of disabled people who would happily trade in their busted poo poo for a working version. i'm pretty okay with my situation, but if you told me you could grow my foot back, i'd take that deal

Euphoriaphone posted:I haven't seen Avatar since its original run but it is good for showing the US military getting their poo poo wrecked in the end and portraying that as being unequivocally good (ok technically a PMC but of course the military will be completely privatized in the far future). So Avatar is just sci-fi The Last Samurai?

The jfk one was alright, I think the funniest thing to me about it was that like them I saw it was I was a young lib teenager, and I had the exact fantasy about going to dc to see the declassified documents that they talked about the funniest part of the jfk ep is when they reveal that the jury took an hour to reach the verdict and throw out the case

the only good movie is the second Brave Little Toaster where a mainframe computer infects some nerds thesis with a singing computer virus and his housewares/animal slaves team up to find a vaccum tube. all other media is revisionist and cancelled

Doc Hawkins posted:this Lawrence of Arabia guys seems kinda sus, couldn't be me, etc If Lawrence had turned around and blown up a British air-craft carrier when they reneged on an arab state he'd be rightly considered a hero. It wasn't Lawrence's whiteness or culturally appropriating Bedouin dress that made him sus, he was just a piece of poo poo manipulating arabs for imperial gain. Obsessing over cultural appropriation is just narcissistic western navel gazing. If you wanna wild out and dress up in a kimono and fancy yourself a son of Siam go for it, just oppose imperialism my dude.

This is amazing work. As a student of history I can say that I've seen hundreds of pictures like this, and have shown little to no emotion. The pictures were just windows to a past I've never lived in, people who I never knew or would ever no. But this picture made me stop and evalutate. Putting the Navi in made me look at what is actually happening. Putting something that everyone is familiar with in a situation that no one knows, and to make them feel those emotions well, that takes amazing talent. Thank You.

I was just considering this earlier today, but I'm fully expecting at least one of the Avatar films to be about humans developing a longer-range Avatar remote-piloting broadcast ship, parking it somewhere near Pandora, and just sending in waves of Avatar Na'vi infiltrators to do suicide bombings and other sort of disruptive poo poo to the Na'vi groups. Like BSG's humaniform Cylons did early on, where they sent a Doral in to suicide attack on the Galactica. It'd make perfect sense, if they can handwave away turning the Avatar bodies from a billion-dollar investment into something mass-produced and, thus, disposable.
