Groovelord Neato posted:It might end up being a victim of when it's being released but the trailer gives the sense that the real world in the original films was another layer of the Matrix and everyone is still inside so it makes sense that there'd be a lot of "remember this".

Trinity was already revived as an AI spirit or something in the the canonical game!!! And the machines never gave up Neo's body so let's go with uh.... a clone??

I had no idea they had recast Depp with Mads and now I kinda wanna see it even though the last one was terrible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9dr2zw-TXQ Even JK Trolling is promoting the movie! https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1470092815506063365 clown shoes fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Dec 13, 2021 |

clown shoes posted:I had no idea they had recast Depp with Mads and now I kinda wanna see it even though the last one was terrible. Honest question - how much of this stuff catches the attention of the mainstream HP fanbase? I feel like if you're not on Twitter or otherwise brain poisoned by the internet then all of Rowling's terf antics are mostly background noise that doesn't come up the studio or one of the main actors makes a statement. HP as an IP appears to be just as popular as ever and I know plenty of adults who grew up on the series who are either immersing their kids in the books, movies, etc or plan on doing so. I guess a lot of people are either in the camp of "separate the art from artist" or don't care about LGBTQ issues or maybe tacitly agree with Rowling's politics on this issue but it seems strange that there is just little (if any) pushback on this at all from the most vocal portions of that fanbase.

I teach at a girls' school and a lot of the kids still love Harry Potter, but the general consensus among them seems to be "Rowling can get hosed." But then, it's just one set of kids at a school with affluent students, so it's hardly representative, I suppose.

davidspackage posted:Muppet's Christmas Carol, or Scrooged. Bill Murray even manages to sell the schmaltzy ending. The right answer. Including having trouble deciding between the two. People who post action movies that happen to take place at Christmas (Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Long Kiss Goodnight) in an effort to be different always strike me as silly. Like, I think you know what everyone is talking about, and you're impressing no one. I, of course, mean this with love. I love Christmas movies, and action movies. But I'll watch Die Hard any time of the year. But Muppet's Christmas Carol and Scrooged is a holiday season only thing.

I’m not trying to impress you when I watch Die Hard around Christmas. I just do because it’s a Christmas movie with a very Christmas like score and many many lines that reference the holiday.

I just do because it’s a Christmas movie with a very Christmas like score and many many lines that reference the holiday.  I watch it every year around Christmas because I'm a big fan of it and not a fan of "real" Christmas movies like Elf or Christmas Vacation or A Christmas Story or whatever. Same reason I watch Silent Night Deadly Night.

I think it's really funny how hard they're trying to dive into Harry Potter lore and poo poo when all the "lore" and world building in the early books was all about how absurd and nonsensical wizarding society is.

What is it about the pathology of it that drives them to never, ever shut up about it? I feel like racists can shut it off sometimes, or won’t do it unless prompted.

I guess trans acceptance is more of a thing now than it was even as recently as 10 years ago (consider the fact that Arrested Development, a show that is absolutely beloved, had a pretty crass transphobic joke in season 2, aired around 04/05 - you probably know the one), and they can't deal with the fact that they're getting called out for poo poo that they got away with then. That, and because they're operating under this delusion that trans folk are somehow a privileged lot who live lives of luxury and comfort, apparently, I guess there's an element of believing that they're standing up for the marginalised and vulnerable - while completely oblivious to the irony.

I think between transness being a "new" phenomenon and feminist being falsely understood as a single coherent ideology (rather than a series of social movements encompassing a range of thoughts and ideologies, yadda yadda yadda) there's more room to keep sheltered and to rationalize discrepancies. Like, if you're a racist or a nazi or whatever you know these beliefs are largely not publicly tolerated, but you also probably know that they're false. It might bring you some level of comfort or provide some sense of control or whatever bullshit, but you don't believe that black people are literally subhuman or whatever. You abstract that poo poo. There's still some space to stay ignorant as a terf, and besides: "feminism" is good, so feminists must be the good guys. That makes radical feminists the most good guys.

It’s also kinda a geographical thing. TERFs, in my impression, are a more significant and prominent group in the UK than in the US.

You abstract that poo poo. What is the evidence of this? I think racist people are just racist a lot of the time. They know to keep it to themselves in public settings (or at least maintain plausible deniability) but the amount of deliberate, planned effort racists put in suggests to me it’s a firmly held belief.
