One film is pretentious and clearly up its own rear end about creating an artistic atmosphere and the other film is Barbie. That said, the advertising is tripping a brain safety killswitch like in a Tarantino movie: https://twitter.com/margotposts/status/1673023696510779393?t=YTcqAIyqiDl6yDJOtCom4w&s=19 Really going to be a masterpiece or a legendary bomb and there's not much space in-between.

Israel conducting air strikes and a ground assault against a refugee camp in the West Bank for the last few hours under the guise of "anti-terrorism". Really hoping we'll get a US president someday who doesn't stand with an apartheid state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVCZnau9-Wo

I have what I call my Kong: Skull Island category of films, which are movies that have an absurd premise, know they have an absurd premise, but play it straight and have fun with it. To me, everything about Barbie looks like it's going into that category - it's not going to be some cinematic masterpiece, but it'll be fun to watch, and I'm looking forward to it.

Battleship fits this category for me, yeah it's dumb as gently caress but hell yeah I'll drink a beer and watch some decrepit museum docents fire up a WWII battleship to blast some aliens back to omicron persei 8.

pantslesswithwolves posted:The Barbie movie is either going to be a pillar of cinematic brilliance so profound and striking that Orson Welles himself will rise from his grave to give one final standing ovation before returning to eternal slumber or it's going to be absolute garbage that causes Hollywood itself to write off the entire concept of "movies" as a fad that's finally fizzled out. There will be no in-between. It’s either going to fizzle and have its debris caught in a two-hundred-tonne steel can, or it’s going to ignite the atmosphere.

So to some extent, this is apparently a fuckup on Colorado's part. The initial lawsuit came in at the District Court level and both sides of the case, designer and state, agreed that "website designer was approached by LGBT client, does not want to design said website" was a fact. Once it's agreed to by both sides as a fact, it's never brought up again in the legal process. So when the case got to the appellate and Supreme Court levels, the designer's counsel/side never brought it up again and everyone involved kept it hypothetical. So the "fake client" thing didn't really matter because the legal system is dumb like that. If both sides agree that a thing is a thing, it's no longer a dispute for the legal system to work out. Or some poo poo. I'm no lawyer, that's just the analysis I'm seeing about it.

Please excuse me for linking to National loving Review - but it kind of explains it here. And here's wapo on the same idea: quote:But the high court didn’t require that Smith had received a real request from “Stewart & Mike” or anyone else. Smith filed a “pre-enforcement challenge” to the Colorado statute because state would have probably moved against her if she had posted a statement about her intention to refuse service to same-sex couples on her website. So the lady was suing the Colorado, pre-emptively afraid that she'd get fined or state-punished for being a bigot refusing to build the website.

I mean its well known at this point that he himself called multiple election officials and governors to try to commit fraud, or sent emissaries to pressure them. So this isn't news really.

I'm guessing someone in the Arizona GOP sat on this until subpoena'd, or it became clear Trump wasn't the horse to back, which is why we're finding out now.

I guess nobody remembers Doug Ducey sending a call to voicemail from Trump as he was literally in the middle of certifying the AZ election results. Just calling to check and see if Dougie could get him a teetime at his favorite course in Scottsdale, I'm sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idLFoJ5QoLc

It's defiantly a legal thing when it comes to freedom of speech. I came across a similar scenario years ago while dealing with my local school board trying to restrict kids from going to Gay Straight Alliance clubs and banning books. Schools would try to thread the needle by making kids sign parent permission slips to check out harry potter or join certain clubs. If hypothetically a kid did have parents' permission but was denied, the school would be violating that kids rights and would be sued into the ground. You don't have to wait for your rights to be violated, if a law could restrict your freedoms it can be challenged. We have a mountain of free speech cases that set precedents about what to do if your rights are violated by laws. (Precedents that the Supreme Court doesn't care about) Don't get me wrong, gently caress the supreme court and gently caress those bigots. But using a hypothetical in a freedom of speech case isn't a new thing.
