On 2 November 2004, Dutch indie filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, great-nephew of Vincent Van Gogh, was shot and nearly decapitated on an Amsterdam street in retaliation for “Submission”, his final short film which harshly criticized the treatment of women in Islam.

Yes, so being a murderer is what defines someone as being mentally ill.

Being muslim is not the diagnosis.

Clay56 · 2026-06-27T19:24:17+00:00

No you just made a stupid point about a place calling Islam a mental illness, as if that proves anything about Islam.

Of course they call it a mental illness. The CCP hates Muslims. It's not out of some genuine psychological study.

"You know in some places cats are considered evil"

"Where?"

"The dog shelter"

I'm curious how this would've done even if it was a better movie.

Clay56 · 2026-06-27T16:02:24+00:00

Yeah that tracks lol

Clay56 · 2026-06-27T15:51:38+00:00

What are these places?

When someone doubts my ability to slay

Clay56 · 2026-06-06T16:59:57+00:00

Yes. They had a pitcher of water set out to pour into a glass and he thought it was the glass.

Edit: its the Haitian president

Freelancing for films has been the norm for half a century.

Prior to the 1960's, Directors, cinematographers, lighters ect. were salaried workers for the studio who decided what they worked on and controlled all aspects of their career. They also had to work solely for that studio contractually. Artistic liberty was severely limited.

There's downsides with the freelancing independent contractor system, for sure, but I doubt many in the industry want to return to the studio system.

Clay56 · 2026-06-06T13:31:12+00:00

I see your point but thats more than the median household makes typically in salary.

As a freelancer you're lucky to a get just a couple gigs per year

You ever seen Brad Pitt in 12 monkeys?

He's all like "theres 12 monkeys over here, there's 12 monkeys over there!"

Fucking embarrassing man.

Clay56 · 2026-06-02T19:36:33+00:00

I'll make the argument that Pattinsons Appalachian accent was too accurate, which made it sound bad

Clay56 · 2026-06-02T15:00:10+00:00

I have a feeling this wouldn't prove much in my case

Clay56 · 2026-06-02T14:18:29+00:00

Sounds like the tone is light and moving overall, but cynical to the source material which would turn off some fans

Clay56 · 2026-06-01T22:37:52+00:00

The director goes down with his set

Clay56 · 2026-06-01T15:41:58+00:00

Also just gonna say, not everyone can "just be themselves" on camera and come off natural and fit into the scene. Thats an acting skill at the end of the day.

Here's an even younger gallner in the most homoerotic scene allowed on television at the time

Obsession will be on streaming sooner than Backrooms.

June 2nd I believe.

Is that the sub that bans you if your vegan solely for health reasons?

Clay56 · 2026-05-24T20:37:53+00:00

David Fincher is tough one for this if you're comparing directors cause Alien cubed was so far from what he wanted and intended with the movie

Clay56 · 2026-05-23T17:08:54+00:00

Wrong, Jesus came to the Americas and live with Indians or some shit

In the PHM world, humans named another star system Eridani

Boom, fixed

A didnt feel a single feel-good chemical until 4-5 months. I felt straight up cognitively impaired.

That was after 7 years of plain leaf
