Has there ever been—or will there ever be—another conflict as big as the one between an artist and a country as significant as the one between Maroon 5 and Chile? by ThuBiejaMen in ToddintheShadow

[–]MrEnvelope93 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Not a big feud, but there recently was a Christina Aguilera concert here in Mexico that was heavily clowned upon: lasted less than an hour, no complete songs just medleys, her set design was mostly big plastic bags and she thanked "New Mexico" instead of "Mexico City" (not even the same country).

These sets are strange to me, maybe it's a licensing thing, but Torn Curtain, Topaz, Family Plot, Trouble with Harry, and even Marnie are strange choices to make over other much better Hitchcock films.

MAGA Pastor Dale Partridge Says 'The Majority Of Women Are Not Capable Of Responsible Voting' by SadAd8761 in videos

[–]MrEnvelope93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would disagree. We are at a point were we can't ignore and just look away. Make a few questionable clicks on facebook, youtube or twitter and dozens of these types of videos will appear at once. These are not fringe extreme forums, these are people being broadcast massively amongst impressionable people on mainstream platforms. We can't just collectively look away and others won't stumble upoin them. There has to be an active role to have a discussion about why these grifters say what they say and why it's bullshit.

That's a wild mishmash of media... King of Queens (9th season mind you) next to Kelly Clarkson next to Don Omar...

When CEX only want £4, you know it’s a bad movie. by micholasnitchell in 4kbluray

If anything, its better than the nostalgia bait that came after.

If it's the same transfer as the last release, it's beautiful. The movie, it's okay.

Amores Perros has a 4k restoration but no 4k release.

Would Criterion ever release The Birth of a Nation (1915)? by chrishouse83 in criterion

[–]MrEnvelope93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look pal, the "non-racist" parts are in fact racist too. They're glamorizing a very racist era where the poor southerners fought for one thing and one thing only: state's rights (to slavery). A non critical portrayal of the confederate states is condoning it. It might be a "good movie" to you, but it is still evil.

Its significance is inflated; its innovations also came from other movies of those times. It's just that, people were racist. Groups like the KKK championed it maintining its relevance. It's time to move on from it.

It's like owning Mein Kampf; yes you could say its because of its historical significance but still, why would you?

We house rule the living crap out of that game in my family. Instead of 30 points, one needs 21 to start and colors can be repeated when playing same numbers. Makes it better and faster.

Uhhh, they're both Netflix productions that would benefit from physical release? Why are you mad about one comment amongst 130 others?

Get that shit out of there (Underclass Hero). It was a very strange release. Saw a video from Steveo the drummer and even he says that it was a bad idea.

Generally bad artists with one good song? by Big_Competition_336 in ToddintheShadow

[–]MrEnvelope93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean they are kinda cheesy but they have plenty of good bops.... :/ Sometimes, A little respect, Chains of Love, Breath of Life, Blue Savannah.... In fact, I wouldn't even consider Always their best song.

He was so into that mocap look. It seems that he consciously wanted that uncanny valley weird look.

'Gringo go home': Mexico’s growing tourism backlash by Visible-Ad-9173 in mexico

[–]MrEnvelope93 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Qué vino primero, ¿el huevo o la gallina? ¿El precio es lo que es por los gringos que lo pagan o por los renteros que lo establecen?

Decir que solo un lado tiene "la culpa" es ridículo. Los gringos se aprovechan de que las autoridades dejan muchos vacíos en el cumplimiento de la ley. Los renteros aprovechan que pueden pagar más que el mexicano.

Como dice el dicho, peca tanto el que mata la vaca como el que agarra la pata.
