There's basically no way you can phrase that that would prevent some people from obvious bad faith misrepresentation.

IRQ posted:There's basically no way you can phrase that that would prevent some people from obvious bad faith misrepresentation. True. But in this case you need to, and all you need to do is to take what he said, as he said it, while ignoring most of it. It's like if he had said 'I hate cats and dogs being abused by negligent owners. You have people taking on the responsibility to care for these animals and then in reality to them it doesn't matter whether they live happy or die suffering.' And then he's being attacked for saying 'I hate cats and dogs... it doesn't matter whether they live happy or die suffering.' Which is why I'm unsure if it's knowingly twisting his words or just people turning their brains off halfway through due to their own heightened emotions.

It really doesn't matter which it is, either way they're refusing to engage with the actual statement.

I think willful ignorance is a thing, but I also reckon people develop to just hear certain attitudes or words and then just react. It's a classic kneejerk response. As much as anything else here, it's a situation that's informed by generational trauma and ongoing minority stress. That poo poo breaks brains. People hear a word, or feel a resemblance to a past difficulty, and they get triggered and spiral. So for some people it's not going to be about refusing to engage rationally, but rather an incapacity to engage rationally.

Aren't there other sets of people with similar claims to the land going back thousands of years? I remember much fighting over the area in the Old Testament

Episodes 3 and 4 of Quiet on Set are rough. Important watching, but hard to watch, and should be skipped if Content Warnings for Sexual Assault are a thing for you. Hearing all the people who wrote letters in support of Brian Peck really pissed me off and confused me, so I had to look some up. This isn't an excuse, but it provides a little context at least. According to Rider Strong, they were told a very different story about what Peck was being charged with. https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/drake-bell-calls-out-rider-strong-will-friedle-for-brian-peck-support/ quote:According to Strong, he wasn’t aware of the charges brought against Peck at the time. So, if what Strong is saying is true (grain of salt), apparently Peck was telling his friends and colleagues he slept with "this hot guy" and then found out after the fact that he was underage. Which is just a wild lie. And Will Friedle seemed to regret being in the court room immediately, or so he says. quote:“We’re sitting in that courtroom on the wrong side of everything … The victim’s mother turned and said, ‘Look at all the famous people you brought with you. And it doesn’t change what you did to my kid,’” he recalled. “I just sat there wanting to die. It was like, ‘What the hell am I doing here?’ It was horrifying all the way around.” The article also points out, however, that both Stroong and Friedle turned down appearing on the documentary, only to then talk about it on their own podcast.

Super late to Twisted Metal. I don’t remember a show that I’d find so off-putting in the first 15 minutes only to turn around by the end of the first episode and blast through as many eps as I could in one sitting. Mackey’s character is initially super annoying, as he’s just jabbering to himself, but once they put him up against Arnett and Beatriz, it kinda clicks into place. The whole setting feels weird initially, and it’s a brave choice to open with a man getting his groin machine gunned, but then again, they don’t really dwell too much on the what and why and instead fall back on the kinda skewed reality they’re using as a backdrop and it starts working. The show feels like something out of the Fallout universe and it’d be hilarious if it out-Fallouts Fallout next month. I’m three episodes in and I think I’ll be done with it by tomorrow, unless it turns to spectacular poo poo.

It's gotta be way more than that, the Sith have "been extinct for thousands of years" per the prequels. Perhaps they were around and the Jedi just didn't know it, but they'd know it if a whole bunch of Jedi started getting killed off by a red lightsaber guy

I'm just glad they're not using Volume for this thing. Plus Headland's actually a great director / showrunner, who's been involved with a lot of cool things. Started out on Terriers, worked on Russian Doll, Heathers and Single Drunk Female. She's cool. Hopefully she pulls something good out of this. zoux posted:It's gotta be way more than that, the Sith have "been extinct for thousands of years" per the prequels.

One, not everyone with a red lightsaber is a Sith. Two, Jedi Long Head who said that in The Phantom Menace was an idiot, and an example of how the Jedi were ignoring what was right in front of them for a while now. The Jedi of the Prequels were dumb, and the point of those stories were that they were killed off by their own hubris and lack of ability to use the Force and see what needed to be seen. But it is set 100 years before The Phantom Menace.

Specifically it’s set in the tail end of the High Republic era, the era they’ve been exploring in books and comics for several years now. It’s the Jedi and the Republic at their absolute heights of power and influence while still setting the stage for their downfall via arrogance. I’ve been enjoying the books and at least one of the characters in that Acolyte trailer is a book character getting their live-action debut: Vernestra Rwoh.

muscles like this! posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtytYWhg2mc This could be a pretty fine story but everything in this trailer from the effects to the music screams low rent to me. And I don't mean that it looks like it took little money to produce just that corners were cut and things taken as "good enough" and I expect that may bleed into the show proper.

Just finished 'Quiet on Set', really heartbreaking to see what was going on behind the scenes of all these shows we grew up with. From what I remember there were even rumours of Schneider getting spears pregnant and it being covered up right, but there are no sexual allegations in the doc just inappropriateness. I feel bad for Drake, despite of the abuse allegations against himself he's clearly had a really hard time and I hope he's genuinely looking to work on himself. He just released this new song based on his life which is really sad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5gh8rAVLkI&t=260s I've noticed Josh hasn't made any response to the doc and his latest instagram post is flooded with thousands of people giving him hate. Its a tough situation, I can understand why Drake and Josh fell out, there clearly would be a load of mixed feelings about their time on the show, it would be cool if they could use this time to forgive each other for what happened.

The Girls On The Bus is a weirdo. It's such a throwback to 90s/00s network character dramas, with a lot of actors pulled from various Greg Berlanti shows as you'd probably expect. (Tala Ashe!) It also wants to be a political drama that doesn't want to offend, so everything's a bit broad, quite light, fairly brainless, very liberal and all the candidates are versions of real candidates but are so allegorical they don't have names. The show hasn't quite reckoned with quite how unlikable the cast are, a lot of them are openly grasping and score points with unconvincing burns. Reviews indicate that the cast become more likable (and the show basically shifts genre almost completely) by about mid season, so I'll stick with it, but mostly because it seems like a chill drama than anything else. Oh and for some reason the main character (Melissa Benoist) talks to the ghost of Hunter Thompson.

Really liked Girls5Eva season 3 but lmao that the biggest issue with the first two seasons was that they were too short and then this one is even shorter. Gimme more of that shiiiiiit The Regime is kinda mid despite some good performances. And grateful for the Palm Royale reviews that have stopped me from wasting my time on something I was hoping would be decent. Looking forward to checking out 3 Body Problem tomorrow tho
