deathbot posted:American movies tend to write out every other nation which isn't so bad in sci-fi movies, etc. But it gets a bit annoying when all the world wars suddenly ignore the fact that it wasn't 'America saves the day by itself. AMURICA!' Especially when the message bleeds over into the actual perception of history. I don't have much of an opinion of American movies centred in America, although I imagine I've absorbed lots of questionable pop culture stereotypes of places in it. I was seeing a movie in Canada with my (Canadian) husband and before the movie there was a super-!!AMERICA!! trailer for some crappy jingoistic war movie and the last shot was someone saying something like "WE WILL DEFEND IT WITH OUR LIVES" over a shot of a huge American flag and it was amazing how icy the audience reaction was. Even in Canada, which is so similar to America, some of our media seems way, way out of place. I might see if I can't get him to post in here but when he was growing up, the only exposure he had to the states was day trips to Detroit, so he thought the entire country was run-down and scary.

Ceiling lights are the devil.

People who sit around in rooms lit by just the ceiling light are weirdos, way to go making your place look like a jail cell.

How loving clumsy are you and your family?
