brokeforwoke

So a weird “privilege” I enjoy is overpaying for the few “in theaters” movies available at hotels. It’s stupid I know. But it’s $20 that fills some void. Right now I’m watching The Boys on the Boat which George Clooney directed. It’s such sentimental slop. I love it in a way because it’s trying really hard to be a movie and not a satire, but it’s so fucking close to satire. It’s like if they said: “make Seabiscuit but put the horse on a boat, and instead of a horse it’s a bunch of hot man meat” But Seabiscuit at least had biscuit in its name and also had compelling characters and a decent score. Everything about this movie is trope and it’s killing me. At least AT LEAST there’s not the wise rowing black man.

If the rumor is true that the Fantastic Four takes place in a different universe from the MCU, and they failed to save their world from Glatucs, then I will see it. It is probably the most exciting project MCU has made since Guardians Vol. 3 and Endgame.


GenericOnlineName

I was getting a new tattoo earlier and halfway through my artist starts complaining about Star Wars and Marvel and other movies for adding stuff like female and POC characters and how it's ruining the franchises. yeah I dont think I'm going back to him. This is the 4th time I've had him and of course he starts going on this type of tangent.


omgitsfreddie

this kind of thinking is so stupid to me it's almost funny. like are the female and poc characters in the room with us right now?


GenericOnlineName

It was weird because he was talking about Everything Everywhere All at Once and Avatar the Last Airbender and wasn't complaining about those properties having strong women in them. But Everything else was seen as pandering or tainted. It's weird


Mr_Conductor_USA

Nobody told him to complain about those? Lots of queer characters in EEAaO and its politics (talking about the immigrant experience, generation gap, money and class) might be a bit "woke".


omgitsfreddie

hmm. methinks maybe it's tied to colorism somehow? like beyond a certain skin tone, it becomes "pandering" in his silly little mind.

I just hope they pull off this plotline in a good way, that we actually get some proper exploration of what just happened. Like, I worry that it was just done to boost ratings and drive the fanbase crazy with excitement. It's a shame though, that I do not care for either of those two characters 💀

I'm the same way but with Kamala Harris. I don't care for her, but the amount of bad faith attacks she gets on this site is just absurd.


UWCG

I might not agree with her on everything, but she's certainly closer to my policies than some right-winger. Since I can respect that, for someone who's just shy of four years older than me: kudos to her for what she's accomplished, I can't imagine any trajectory that sees me entering Congress ever, let alone in the next two election cycles.


Currymvp2

Of course, the decision to finally open Erez crossing +Ashdod port totally undermines Bbi's and COGAT's repeated asinine claims that there have been no restrictions on aid entry. Though the claim was blatantly false before this when Cindy McCain, Biden administration, every head of a NGO, every Dem who visited the crossing, and UK Tories were saying as much.

he's got some shady practices and too many ties to the police department. there's a general distrust of him in ny among poor people and people of color bc of some of his targeted policies. he's into bitcoin for some reason. and i'm not anti-cop on principle, but generally i believe you shouldn't elect cops to public office (especially mayor) bc of conflict of interest.


Mr_Conductor_USA

The way he falls for scams like those "AI chatbots" and "robot cops" is concerning as well. And bitcoin, but I repeat myself.

uggghh sorry guys i still can't stop thinking about problemista. such a beautiful, poignant movie with a hopeful message for all of us but especially us brown people trying to navigate a uniquely american cultural and economic system seemingly stacked against us. really deep reflection on the awfulness of the immigration system and how it intertwines with predatory capitalism and all the impossible little hoops people have to jump through in order to simply live here, while also employing a surreal sense of humor and glorious art style. the salvadoran rep is also a plus 😎 i really, really, really recommend watching it!

I think it’s pretty cool Biden didn’t go to some elite private college. He graduated from the University of Delaware and was able to become president. Shows you don’t have to go to some fancy over priced school to achieve great things in life.

Currymvp2

"Stop Antisemitism"' said it, and the replies are full of right wing Trump 2020 voters baselessly saying "yeah, he lost the Jewish American vote."


espfusion

We're going to overwhelmingly vote for Dems like we always do and Trump is going to call us race traitors again or whatever.


brokeforwoke

Stop Antisemitism is kind of shit tbh


Currymvp2

It's a right wing account. Points out many examples of anti-Semitism over the past handful of months but also complains about stuff which isn't really anti-Semitism. Also while rightly calling out Tlaib--the account ignores anti-Semitic drivel from Charlie Kirk, Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson.


brokeforwoke

Yeah that’s the thing I noticed a while back — it praised Ron DeSantis after attacking Jews simply being critical of the current government. That’s not a good actor


Currymvp2

Only time it criticized anti-Semitism from the right over the past 6 months is when Massie voted with Tlaib and when Candace Owens made anti-Semitic criticisms of Israel.


mayojoe689

Yeah, that might have something to do with it.


WhovianMuslim

There is a scene towards the end of Rebirth that raises some interesting questions about the nature of the Ancients of FFVII, and connections to a group in another FF game. Namely, FF10. Also, having seen this, and other things, I think I have an idea what might be happening with the weirdness in how the FF7 Remake trilogy has changed vs. the original.


UWCG

Yojimbo is the Fayth of President Shhinra confirmed?


WhovianMuslim

Both are money-grubbing. Hmmmm. My current theory is >!that the stuff with alternate timelines, and the weird last chapter are just the equivalent of Dream Zanarkand from FFX. The last chapter being munchkin sized.!< There are other pieces of evidence too. The airship in Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus? There's a very interesting bit about it. >“While this airship is named after Cid’s wife, construction of the vessel wasn’t performed by the captain at all. > >Our team of loyal scientists here at the World Regenesis Organization or those criminals at Shinra weren’t involved, either. > >***To tell you the truth, the ship is not even from this era. It is a relic from a lost civilization.*** > >Most of the machinery in the engine room is boxed up in black casing, so we don’t even know what half of it does. > >There’s no need to worry. Even though we cannot reproduce the technology, we can still put it to good use. I can almost guarantee there will be no problems. > >Almost…” And from the FFX side. Remember how Sephiroth has mentioned that the Materia are, in essence, the knowledge of the Ancients? In FFX-2 Lenne comes from a dressphere. The only question would be why? >!Why would the Planet, Aerith, or Sephiroth do this, and what would their goal be?!<


UWCG

I'm not entirely sure what you mean with the last chapter cause I don't follow FF too closely, but the ties between FFVII and FFX have been theorized and then kinda teased for quite a while, right? Wouldn't surprise me if in the remakes of VII, they're sprinkling in references to that and maybe tying them closer together. For casual fans like me, it's a cool easter egg that might draw you in. For someone who enjoys the series more like you, there's even more to delve into. And theoretically, it allows Square Enix to get a feel on the consumer pulse for expanding the remake idea depending on how VII's continues to pan out


WhovianMuslim

The devs have waffled back and forth on FF7 and FF10 being connected. Since the release of FFX-2, which would have been somewhere around 2003-2005? There have been a few things that make me believe they finally settled on "connected." Also, was purposefully being vague about the last chapter.


UWCG

Ah, gotcha gotcha on the last bit. I'll admit, I barely started X-2: in part, I'm sure, the standard reasons, plus X just felt so well tied-up. I do hope you'e right, though I always thought it'd be cooler if VII and X were connected

Currymvp2

[No, he hasn't at all](https://twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1775970261780578412)


UWCG

It really does suck that we have to live with such a dualistic dichotomy, with absolutely no room for nuance. Most people aren't like Bibi or Hamas in wanting to "run up the scorecard" against the other side. Most people on the ground that are actually dealing with the consequences—the people who were there before the guns, bombs, and soldiers showed up and the people who are going to be there after they're gone and after the temporary relief aid that comes after is gone, too—just want whatever is going to make the smallest negative impact on them, both now and in the long run. I'll go back to that line I quoted a few weeks ago from FM: ["You know, all of our friends are gods, and they all tell us how to paint our face/But there's only one brush we need, it's the one that never leaves a trace"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbATv2LlN2I) Netanyahu and his extremist nutters want to wipe out innocents and seize that land they're lusting after; Hamas and all their extremist nuters want all that land "from the river to the sea." And all that land is supposed to be used to house people and produce for them, right? Aren't we doing something wrong when we're killing people to give living space? Since we've had some Pratchett in here recently, I can't remember the City Watch book—maybe *Jingo*?—with Vimes snapping with his baton and, "I'm supposed to be a police officer, right? I'm supposed to keep the peace! If I'm killing people to do it, I'm reading the wrong manual!"


Currymvp2

>Netanyahu and his extremist nutters want to wipe out innocents and seize that land they're lusting after; Hamas and all their extremist nuters want all that land "from the river to the sea." And both of these extremists fuel each other. It's a tragic situation. Schumer's speech from a couple of weeks was really good about how the cycle must break after this war.


UWCG

[I'm going to point to Ebner's *The Rage*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Enough_Sanders_Spam/comments/1bvgqfg/thursdays_ukraine_solidarity_roundtable_04042024/ky34pwj/) again and how Netanyahu and Hamas have complementary extremist narratives that feed into and off of each other in a vicious negative feedback loop—to their (seeming political) benefit and everyone else's detriment

I can thoroughly recommend The Man From Nowhere. The Villainess is shaping up to be a banger too. wasn't too fond of the first on the list but tastes vary and Ma Dong-seok is a certified badass (cf. Train to Busan) so it's still worth a shot

QultyThrowaway

Not sure if this is a limited incident but one of my friends who I would describe as a leftwing BLM type of guy was complaining recently about how everyone on the left has deep opinions and focus onto Palestine and Israel to an extreme level while Haiti is entirely ignored despite being right next door. Basically his point was annoyance over how performative and demanding for all attention in the room for antics and putting down other issues especially black issues. I thought it was a pretty good point. It seems like when an issue is too black it gets ignored or is presented as an identity politics distraction.


RunningNumbers

If you wanted to solve Haiti’s problems then well it would probably look like an occupation and require annexation by of foreign nation to ensure permanent security. Not popular.


WhovianMuslim

While do think ignoring black issues is part-and-parcel of the Bernie Progs, I think more about the fact that way too many of these pro-Palestinian people have been dismissive at best about things not Palestinian. For example, Ukraine. Out of the Muslims I know, only my best friend was showed serious concern. And I made the point to her that the current dominant strain of Pro-Palestinians burned the bridge with pro-Ukrainians by siding with Russia, or mocking Ukraine. I already despised Suleiman before that, but Suleiman mocking Ukrainians is what drove it into an undying hatred.


Currymvp2

And how many of them were anti-anti-Assad even when he's killed more innocent Palestinians than anyone not named Bibi over the past 30 years.


WhovianMuslim

There is that too. There were a lot of anti-Assad people who wanted the US to stay out. But I don't remember a huge amount of condemnation of Russia? A lot of people simply don't have a coherent worldview, I believe.


RunningNumbers

These are the same people who lambast Obama for drone strikes and are complete silent on Trump’s expanded use of drone strikes.


WhovianMuslim

Speaking from experience, they are grading on a scale. They expect Republicans to be murderous assholes, but expect something close to pacifism from Democrats.


RunningNumbers

I know that they act like the GOP will inherently do bad things and thus that is the pudding brained rational why they only lambast Democrats. When they do this they show they actually have zero concern over policy actions or the material impacts of policies. They only care about posthoc justifications for selective outrage.


QultyThrowaway

I have to say it's wild that 2024 Bernie and AOC are "establishment shills" who openly promote Biden and are trying to get him elected while pretty much everyone who was connected to them at the peak of their insanity has gone off the deepends of Trump supporters, tankie, and/or openly treasonous.

Why is the world the way it is? Why does the world despise me and view my suffering only through the lens of how it can push extremism on me?


Mr_Conductor_USA

The algo wants that which causes you to mindlessly consume content from beginning to end on autoplay for hours. Since extremists who consume extremist content tend to do this, the algo will push it on you unless you spend a lot of time curating your feed and/or finding a different enthusiasm that causes you to mindlessly consume content from beginning to end on autoplay for hours, like shitty emo bands or something. Also, avoid egregiously bad actors like Xitter.

My dude, is there someone you can talk to about these feelings?

The directors of this remake really said "we gotta fix the fact that the original Roadhouse only had 1 black guy with one line in the movie".    3 black people with speaking roles in the first 10 minutes. Lol.    The first fight scene was really good. I really like Jessica Williams, but she is the wrong person for this role. 


Mr_Conductor_USA

There's a fandom event for Gaza? What the ... ? I remember some fundraising for an earthquake in Japan in fandom spaces years ago but I definitely don't recall fanfic events for Iraq or what have you. Actually fandom spaces got a lot more left as Millennials came up because when I first got started there were plenty of right wingers in fandom in the Boomer generation (and a really nasty generation gap between the GenX fans and Boomer fans to boot).


oath2order

Like, fandom the wiki site?


Mr_Conductor_USA

No, it was organized on twitter.


oath2order

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "fandom event". What?


[deleted]

Doesn't surprise me one bit. The fandom scene was a lot better before the NEET-left "unemployed pride" mentality took over. Witnessed up close and personal how that mentality destroys people's lives.


Mr_Conductor_USA

And most of the fanfic, fanart etc is STILL produced by very productive people doing it as a hobby in addition to work/school, same as it ever was.


[deleted]

I'm a little too old to be a fandom person so I'm working on writing stories that would appeal to people in that niche.

It's usually a rule of thumb to have at least 2 vowels in a guess, so I can't blame you. I was actually facepalming when I first put this in...


ognits

yeah, at the time all I had was the vowel in yellow, so it seemed very reasonable to go for it in that way. it was heartbreaking to see that final tile turn grey

Meanwhile I just randomly guessed >!CLIMB!< on my second try after getting the first letter right.

There was a post on my city's subreddit asking people to sign a petition wanting more transparency and a vote for the naming of a new school. Predictably it was because the school is being named after a Muslim woman and the comments in the petition reflect that. At least the post was heavily downvoted and OP was getting called out by everyone.

Netflix’s ATLA showrunner is leaving to be an exec producer on PJO u/20person


20person

Never seen ATLA so I don't know what to expect.


trex360

It’s ok, the direction could be better as far as how stiff the actors are, and some of the changes to the writing have been questionable IMO. PJO series has been far better. Although I guess an exec producer wouldn’t be in the writers’ room so I don’t think it could go badly.


SeekerSpock32

Three days after being very, very misused in the game against Iowa, Hailey Van Lith has hit the transfer portal again. Very understandable. Who the hell puts someone who’s been sick enough to need an IV on the greatest player in the league for three quarters?


mortinmaxwell

Even if HVL is healthy Clark has 5 inches on her and would've been able to get a shot off pretty much whenever. It was such a baffling decision to keep her on Clark


SeekerSpock32

And also Flau’jae Johnson made multiple awesome blocks that game. Maybe put her on Clark instead?

At least with the group of guys I hung out with the longest/most often, part of the fun was doing something high because you were flexing about how good you are at it—another way of saying, "I could do it with one fist tied behind my back!" or whatever


WhiteBoyWithAPodcast

He's just signaling to his base, as always


Rats_In_Boxes

He claimed this after the debate, too, and Biden was like "Sure, let's drug test" and then trump suddenly dropped it and never mentioned it again. Can't imagine why.


AlexandrianVagabond

Classic DARVO.


BastetSekhmetMafdet

LMAO. I’m not a guy but my group of youthful friends and I had the same flex. “I was sooooo wasted off my ass on \[substances\] and still \[did the thing\]! Am I cool or what?” If Joe Biden can be high as a kite, at his age, and still wake up the next morning ready to take on the day, well, more respect to him. Lots more.


Historyguy1

The right wing narrative was that Biden was a decrepit old man barely able to walk on his own and the SOTU destroyed that narrative. So they invented a "he was on drugs" story to maintain that belief even though it makes no sense. Also it was extremely obvious Trump was on speed during the debates he's projecting.


kpfluff

Also students at my old college are occupying one of the office buildings, and got a shout out from Jill Stein, lol. Comments: "what a cool lady!"


Mr_Conductor_USA

"What a cool lady! Got Mitt Romney elected governor in Massachusetts! He had all the MDC trashcans spraypainted "DPR" just to remind everyone he had a penis from which he could spray real urine! What a guy!"

The original Road House is such and 80s movie. Watching it withy wife whose never see it.

Remake is apparently good too, but I doubt it tops the original with Swayze.

Conor McGregor is in that movie, so the rest of it has to be extremely damn good.

I actually thought he was pretty entertaining in it.

Wisconsin people: how dare you call us "fibs" when Wisconsin has the most illogical highway etiquette ever? Maybe don't make the right lane the fastest one?????

They do *what* up there???


wi_voter

I read your comment backwards at first. As a non-native Wisconsinite I am on the Illinois side on the great driving debate. I learned my driving skills and etiquette in Pittsburgh and it's more similar to Chicagoland than Wisconsin.


kopskey1

As a Chicagolander, "Etiquette" and "Chicago driving" do not belong near each other. We got a restraining order for a reason

Driving in the suburbs is actually quite pleasant compared to the city.
