do you think people who worked on or are otherwise associated with The Eternals watched Dune, to keep up with developments in the world of cinema and see what else is out there etc, or do you think they're all snapping at any of their friends and relatives who mention having seen it My first job out of college was at Microsoft, and I remember on like day 2 my boss asked me what video games I was playing and was visibly upset when I mentioned Mario Galaxy 2. We didn't even work in Xbox

mazzi Chart Czar posted:You don't see it yet, but everybody is organizing themselves politically by how they responded to this. I firmly and unironically believe one's ability to separate pop-cultural fluff from stuff that legitimately and materially matters is a key driver of one's political issues in the 21st-century West because of how much of our waking hours is spent thinking about meaningless media bullshit so yeah for example the guy who said this was the same as 9/11 is gonna have bad politics ideas, because to him a guy slapping another guy on TV and thousands of civilians dying in a terrorist attack can both be sorted neatly into the "stuff I saw on TV which upset me" box and that's the only one that matters

Just in case nobody thought ahead and screenshotted, that was the "if Will Smith had slapped Betty White instead of Chris Rock, and she had then fallen backward and hit her head on the floor and bled to death, nobody would think this was so funny" take

oh, so you think this was "funny" and "lol" eh? What if instead of hitting Chris Rock, Will Smith had crashed an airliner full of civilians into the World Trade Center, killing thousands? Not so funny now, is it?

Srice posted:I completely forgot, and would like to see it if it hasn't been taken offline out of shame I found posts discussing it at the time, and the tweet with the link has been taken down but I apparently had the foresight to block-quote the text in its entirety so here's a C&P quote:Three weeks ago I processed the Capitol insurrection with my high school students. Rallying our inquiry skills, we analyzed the images of that historic day, images of white men storming through the Capitol, fearless and with no forces to stop them. “This,” I said, “is white supremacy, this is white privilege. It can be hard to pinpoint, but when we see, it, we know it.” nb w/r/t that last line: this is how Liz Warren and Janet Yellen dressed to the inauguration   all tarted up as you can see

A lot of "banter" based shows come off super artificial because people IRL just don't spend very much of their time bantering This is also true for shows I like. Letterkenny is funny but I have to watch it with subtitles on because they just banter so goddamn much

Letterkenny banter is also very formulaic on a per-character basis, but it works because it's so formulaic that the formula is itself the joke, rather than just an unconscious tendency the writers have like Good Soup's Gilmore Girls example

Not by name, he just had the same generic complaint about Best Picture nominees that people have had every year for decades despite the fact that this year's crop was actually about half mass-market stuff It's equally possible that he just didn't bother looking up what the nominees even were this year, or that he's that much of a manbaby that he unironically thinks West Side Story is too highbrow

TBH the only reason my wife and I haven't watched any What We Do In The Shadows yet is that we wanna watch the movie first and getting our hands on the spare time and energy to watch an entire movie with a kid under 2 is easier said than done so we've been putting it off for like two months
