It gets tricky when that nickname is also a racial epithet or stereotype.

We don't need to attack or defend the filmmakers for it they honestly saw the response said "yeah our bad" and made the change. pretty easy tbh. for what it's worth I've had comments about my nose from most if not all of my chinese in law family (i'm white) and I saw her comment as a cute and realistic way of showing a chinese american woman and how she would refer to people. It's not even meant as an insult it's like her calling her daughter fat. it's just a thing.

This is a really great example of that, IMO, and it’s frustrating to me. Sorry my personal feelings upset you, feel free to put me on your ignore list if it continues to be a hardship

The salient part of this controversy is the reveal of a deleted scene that would have contributed to a narrative of the film that what prevents the harmonious relation of disparate people is particular personal problems and their solutions.

Sorry my personal feelings upset you, feel free to put me on your ignore list if it continues to be a hardship Ok but who made you personally the adjudicator of what is real antisemitism and what is not? If a thing has been used to stereotype and mock Jews throughout history and a portion of Jews find it uncomfortable to see something that looks similar to that, then even if you personally are not offended by it that doesn't mean it's stupid/unfounded. Also "my fellow minority members shouldn't act like [x] because it will reinforce the majority's negative opinions" is pure internalised bigotry. People will always find reasons to be antisemitic, it's not on us to behave a certain way to not provoke them. Free yourself from judging your fellows for being upset about something you aren't upset about, it's okay.

very big ugly cry movie for me. had to keep it together near the end because there were some teenagers sitting next to me laughing at the hot dog fingers and raccoon and I was just biting down on my lip trying not to sob as the asian immigrant mom apologizes for mistreating her queer daughter. I thought the rock + cliff imagery and family pulling Joy out of the black hole were very deeply affecting film imagery. here's my buddhist view of this movie I've been reading the korean zen buddhist book Dropping Ashes on the Buddha. The author, the monk Seung Sahn, says that there are five steps to enlightenment, like going around the four quadrants of a circle and returning at last to the original point. 0 degrees is attachment to name and form. "This is the area of thinking and attachment. Thinking is desire, desire is suffering. All things are separated into opposites: good and bad, beautiful and ugly, mine and yours. I like this; I don't like that. I try to get happiness and avoid suffering. So life here is suffering, and suffering is life." 90 degrees is attachment to thinking. "Before you were born, you were zero; now you are one; in the future, you will die and again become zero. So zero equals one, one equals zero. All things here are the same, because they are of the same substance. All things have name and form, but their names and forms come from emptiness and will return to emptiness." 180 degrees is the experience of true emptiness. "So there are no mountains, no rivers, no God, no Buddha, nothing at all." 270 degrees is the area of magic and miracles. "Here, there is complete freedom, with no hindrance in space or time. This is called live thinking. I can change my body into a snake's. I can ride a cloud to the Western Heaven. I can walk on water. If I want life, I have life; if I want death, I have death. In this area, a statue can cry; the ground is not dark or light; the tree has no roots; the valley has no echo. If you stay at 180 degrees, you become attached to emptiness. If you stay at 270 degrees, you become attached to freedom." 360 degrees returns back to the world of name and form. "All things are just as they are; the truth is just like this. 'Like this' means that there is no attachment to anything. This point is exactly the same as the zero point: we arrive where we began, where we have always been. The difference is that zero degrees is attachment to thinking, while 360 degrees is no-attachment thinking." i think the movie more or less operates within the parameters of these ideas. -Evelyn begins the movie with attachment to name and form. "Being a laundromat owner is bad. Being a movie star would be good." -Alpha Waymond introduces Evelyn to attachment to thinking. "You aren't just a laundromat owner. You could be a movie star, or a kung fu master, or a chef, or a singer. If things had just gone a little different, if you had just put your shoes on backward, or chewed gum at just this moment...." -The barren world of the two rocks on a cliff is true emptiness. The world is devoid of solid meaning. So it might as well be uninhabited. -Jobu Tupaki Joy's experience of reality, and the experience that Evelyn eventually gains, is attachment to freedom. If the world is devoid of meaning, then there's no reason it has to be the way it is now. Now we are humans, now we are pinatas, now we are children's drawings. What if I am lesbian with hot dog fingers? What if raccoons can control people by pulling their hair? The world we currently live in is just as arbitrary, meaningless, and stupid as any of these alternatives, so it is equally as true as all of them. -Waymond and eventually Evelyn with her third eye opened return back to the world of name and form. Doing laundry and filing taxes. Evelyn realizes that "the potential to be anyone" includes the potential to be the person I am right here and now. I am here with my hot dog fingers wife: I will love her. I am here with my coworker who wants his raccoon back: I will let him ride me. I am here with my family in a mediocre American laundromat: I will be good to them.

This is my favourite movie to come out since Parasite. There's so many great comedic moments and emotional crescendos. I appreciate what this movie was about. I'm generally a nihilistic person that's made "don't get your hopes up" my mantra because it makes the inevitable rejections in life sting a little less. I see myself in Evelyn (or am I Joy?) and Waymond's approach to life is eye opening. This needs to be everywhere come awards season and I'm dreading Hollywood ignoring it. Michelle, Stephanie, and Ke Hu Quan (and even Jamie Lee Curtis) all had incredible performances in completely different ways.

MokBa posted:Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild are my two favorite games of all time, and while they have a lot of similarities, the feeling of playing each is incredibly different. BotW is a much more calming experience for me, with occasional bouts of challenge. Hyrule is like a giant outdoor playground. ER, I would say, is the"better" game, with much more to do and much greater rewards for exploring and engaging with the content. But I just plain have more fun with BotW and enjoy the experience of being in that world. I think they compliment each other very well and I only hope Nintendo can learn from the Souls series the way that From so openly builds upon the Zelda series. I want an EEAAO video game now but it’s a fighting game with a dozen different Evelyns with different skill sets

Because the budget was $25 mil and it has to be set somewhere I didn't love the movie but I have to say, it looks loving amazing for that budget. The effects felt way better than what you see in a marvel movie for a fraction of the cost

Taxes are a record of our decisions in numbers, Evelyn is metaphorically auditing her life while literally doing it in the IRS. Also it's a joke about the two constants in life.
