And then he forgot all about that as soon as he was in prison and just became a tough shell of his former self. He just wanted to get through the day. And in that moment that you are talking about, the scales fall from his eyes, and he re-engages with his truth and finds himself again."

yeah that irl heist was a shitshow that killed a lot of bystanders and barely worked out

Iirc most of the money they got from it were high-denomination bills that weren't heavily circulated in Russia so they couldn't risk exchanging them inside the country, and when someone tried to exchange them in Geneva they were caught by the authorities. Lenin had to temporarily cede control of party funds to the head of the Swiss social democratic party or something to keep from being ousted.

I've been watching a lot of Frasier recently and it got me thinking. People like to say "you couldn't make this TV show/movie nowadays" about a lot of stuff, but you really couldn't make Frasier today. Marty was an ex-cop with 30 years on the force - the modern day equivalent would be a QAnon psycho who is convinced that his radio host psychologist son is a member of the liberal media pedophile elite. and there's absolutely no way he'd agree to live in an apartment in the city lol

the only plausible path for Marty to re-enter Frasier's life as an adult and move in with him, in 2022, is for Marty to be undercover investigating what Frasier is doing in his apartment's basement storage space

After getting tortured and questioned trying to exchange the bills, Camo got locked up for 3(was it 1?) years where he pretended to be insane by talking to birds and eating his own poop. It worked, and he was eventually released.

quote:

What is now happening to Marx’s theory has, in the course of history, happened repeatedly to the theories of revolutionary thinkers and leaders of oppressed classes fighting for emancipation. During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it. Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labor movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is or seems acceptable to the bourgeoisie. All the social-chauvinists are now “Marxists” (don’t laugh!). And more and more frequently German bourgeois scholars, only yesterday specialists in the annihilation of Marxism, are speaking of the “national-German” Marx, who, they claim, educated the labor unions which are so splendidly organized for the purpose of waging a predatory war!

It is established that Frasier is independently wealthy at that point iirc, during the arc where the radio station changes focus and he's fired he doesn't seem to have any financial trouble.

The radio show was always a bit of an anachronism mind.

idgaf about defending the royals but people think tv is a documentary all the time and anything that pushes back against that is good. Like people asking for DNA evidence for purse snatchings because of CSI and poo poo like that.

are you trying to argue that csi is good or bad this example seems kind of ambiguous

Personally it's the people saying "it's the best star wars since rogue one" that puts me off cause rogue one is boring as hell and considerably worse even than the stupid new films.

Its just self consciously "for grown ups" despite being in the space cartoon universe which imo is even lamer than star wars usually is

I'll probably end up watching it 2 years from now and going huh that was pretty good anywah

yeah i remember watching rogue one and having about this reaction to it because it was like someone made a dead serious story about the nazis in world war two but none of it is real or even pretending to be real its like someone with a big movie budget was expecting to provoke a serious emotional response from me with that picture of rainbow dash photoshopped into the holocaust

the big point in andors favor is weirdly enough that you can usually make it through like a full two thirds of an episode without even remembering that its a star wars story at all because for the most part its just a grungy space opera about andor whos a really depressed dude with no idea what the gently caress hes even doing i expect the shows ending is going to disappoint not because itll be a bad plot beat or even anything out of the usual tone but because the climax is going to involve shoving rainbow dash into the frame and expecting us to just accept this like its normal
