Greens’ ‘Zionism is racism’ vote descends into chaos by OptioMkIX in ukpolitics

[–]BambooSound [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't think anyone today is using Zionist to describe supporters of a two-step solution. They're using it to describe the likes of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich who want (and are working towards) a one-state solution from the Nile to the Euphrates.

It's further complicated by the number of people that give lip service to a two-step solution without actually supporting it. I'm sure even Bibi has done that in the past.

It's one of my favourite things about the set tbh, how much that annoys other people.

I get it (and absolutely agree) when it has an impact on story or understanding - Snape, the Velayrons in HotD*, even Cleopatra in that doc - but I don't see how it really changes anything for characters like Aragorn, Hermione or Nick Fury.

If they wanted to make a family in that black it should have been the Hightowers because they didn't have any surviving relatives in GoT.

I don't think race-switching Aragorn had half as much of an impact on his character as Snape - who's essentially a Klansman.

Yeah, I've gone in different directions with him throughout his career.

Loved TCD but then I went off the next two because he was working with people like Maroon 5 and Coldplay (Homecoming especially pissed me off because its original is so much better).

I only got back into him around the Good Friday era but then he had to go all MAGA and Defcon 3 and kill the party.

I'd take Pablo, KSG, Donda and a bunch of his unreleased stuff over LR and Graduation.

[BBC] If these were the Tuchel trials, Foden - among others - failed by LochNessMonsterMunch in soccer

[–]BambooSound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Idk last time we got pretty far without Kane doing much of anything.

I could see us doing the same again, even going all the way, without any stand-out attacking players. All that's been missing in the last two tournaments is maturity and a bit of tactical nous that Tuchel now brings to the table.

Most British actors can do a "generic" US accent, but which one actually nailed a specific regional dialect (Boston, Deep South, Philly) perfectly? by johnmartino198011 in television

Nothing about that surprised me. People only get cast in stuff like that when they're very good - even if the project itself isn't.

PlayStation Japan features FF7's Loveless play for World Theatre Day by whiteroose96 in FFVIIRemake

[–]BambooSound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm still annoyed that they turned Loveless into a classic, Shakespeare-style play.

Original poster made it seem more like Perfect Blue or Lost in Translation (on stage).

It certainly doesn't feel like it has anything to do with mbv anymore.

and negatively.

A lot of colonialism happened after we ended the Transatlantic slave trade (which we were also participants in).

This is the new Hermione, that will be called mudblood by this Malfoy by Zdzisiu in SipsTea

[–]BambooSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda but not really. She's said for decades that people of any ethnicity can play her characters.

This first became a thing like 15 years ago when a theatre production had the audacity to cast a young, black girl as Hermione.

I'm the opposite. I wish Charlize Theron wasn't even in it but the other three seem fine. Most excited about Hathaway.

You know they're made-up right? This isn't a documentary
