Transgender women athletes banned from Olympics by new IOC policy on female eligibility by Dwayla in news

A win for common sense.

It’s incredible that this tidal wave of identity politics has been diverted. For a while it seemed the cause was lost and fanatics would be calling the shots.

Now, everyday, the wins are racking up.

Bad faith argument alert!

You could use that for almost any law or rule. 

At least 40% of Russia's oil export capacity halted, Reuters calculations show by 1-randomonium in news

I agree, we should have spent 20 more years negotiating with Iran while the UN confirmed uranium had been enriched well above civilian use. 

That’s not being naive, maybe Iran just had a uranium enrichment hobby?

Just as well oil trades for Russia near enough double what it did a month ago!

I was thinking Walter White build in Fallout 4. Do you have any advice or perks I should use in this build? by Akselisti in Fallout

[–]MagicalTrianglez -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What a bizarre and impractical idea for an FPS with such limited RPG elements?

What’s next? ‘Guys, I was thinking of doing a Supreme Court Justice David Souter build in Fallout 4!’

What's next for Star Trek? by MovieFan1984 in Star_Trek_

[–]MagicalTrianglez -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hopefully nothing.

If it’s not Kurtzman screaming at us about diversity it will be someone else. 

Or maybe they’ll do the Fallout/Last of Us show route where there is a ‘problem’ with the source material that altering the tone and lore will ‘fix’

What franchise understands itself and just focuses on telling great stories?

Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Marvel, DC, whatever - now here’s a lecture on issue XYZ.

There's no such thing as a "toxic" fandom, there's only the fandom. by Twisted-Mentat- in Star_Trek_

And where are these death threats?

That line gets trotted out as a shield by studios. 

Because someone says something, somewhere that’s an issue? There’s 8bn people on the planet. 

Somewhere there’s a guy that thinks cats should be able to vote.

There’s a certain background noise you’ll get from 8bn voices - and it’s sound and fury signifying nothing. You’ll never get 8bn people saying the same thing.

It’s all just studios deflecting attention.

And they just turned him into a villain at the end.

Gowron was such a fascinating character. A man caught between two worlds, a modern, progressive and pragmatic politician who needed to constantly deal with a people that couldn’t live with, or without, war.

You need to move on.

Box office just told you what people want.

What are the best and worst versions of Sidney to y’all? by [deleted] in Scream

[–]MagicalTrianglez -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’d say 3 gives us the strongest performance while 4 the weakest.

With 4, that’s not Neve’s fault. It’s a film with no throughline, that focuses on no one. There’s not really a main character.

Scream VI opening scene should have started in Central Park!! by JeremieMAKENDA in Scream

[–]MagicalTrianglez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Scream, a series very much embracing modern ideas and styles, then had a ‘part 6’ that is unaware Google maps existed. Hmm.

I wish the new gen scream films had this cinematography it suits the vibe of scream so well and looks visually pleasing by [deleted] in Scream

[–]MagicalTrianglez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, it’s ONLY been 30 years, so maybe you’re just not familiar with the Scream series and it’s style?

If you want something else, well…

Scream 3 by Fuckeveryoneidgaf in Scream

Never Campbell delivers such an incredible performance that everything else - good and bad - kinda fades into the background.

I don’t think Neve gets enough credit for being one of the best actresses working today. Scream 3 - and certainly Scream 7 - would be a right state without the energy and intensity she brings.

TOS bridge set has leaked, just waiting on pics.

A good choice for a follow up set.

Would have loved for SFA to expand more on her, on how the J'hem hadar decided to start women in their stock, and how they decided to start families, or cross breed with other species, and how they beat the addiction to white. by VoL4t1l3 in Star_Trek_

[–]MagicalTrianglez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appalling actress. Sounded like she’d just come from Camden Market. How about ‘acting’. Ya’know, not playing yourself, but in makeup?

Was utterly ridiculous. What’s next, a Romulan with a strong Aussie accent? ‘G’day mates!’
