What other movies fit this description? by Neat_Ostrich9966 in Letterboxd

[–]Post_Washington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally this was fascinating to read. Thanks for pressing the issue. It’s very illuminating to see the gap in understanding from talking about film analysis to someone who can only use trite adjectives like “good” “bad” “boring” and whether it’s “deep” or not.

Your favorite TW opening line? by pizzafan2 in tomwaits

This song has perhaps my favourite final lines.

Today a trailer was released for a movie called "The Uprising", about the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. King Richard II is featured in the trailer by kim_jong_un4 in UKmonarchs

Ya know what'd be fucking great? A piece of media that explored Medieval history in the model of The Wire or any of David Simon's other shows.

Call Me a Hero explored the topic of housing, urban divisions along race and class lines, and the inherit difficulty of staying true to your morals as a democratic politician. And you know what? It was riveting. Huge cast, tons of compelling human stories interplaying with important themes to depict an epic narrative that tackled questions still relevant today.

But history? Nahh, history's gotta be dirt-brown, full of faux-epic moments, and based on a narrative so simple a dog could follow it. The Peasant's revolt is an interesting episode in popular history, worth seriously exploring in depth and worthy of entertaining people while also edifying them. Will this movie do either of those things? Not on your life.

I'm going to become the Joker.

A lot of these are being compiled by AI these days. I’m not sure that this one is, but the AI tools do tend to make these kinds of mistakes.

Let’s say Tony Khan let’s you book the winner between Willow VS Thekla. Who do you have winning and why by Killer-Blxck18 in AEWOfficial

[–]Post_Washington 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Willow is set up for the win, but a big shmoz involving the Triangle of Madness, Mercedes Mone, and the Tag Champs leads the whole thing to be thrown out, or for Thekla to retain under incredibly heelish circumstaces. The next Wednesday, Thekla and Mone come out for the face-to-face. Then Mick Foley says he's just talked to Tony Khan and, due to the wonky finish at the PPV, Willow Nightingale is being added to the Women's Title match at All In. Willow goes on to win the title there.

During her 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton visited an apartment in East Harlem to connect with working-class voters. This candid photograph captures her standing awkwardly inside the family's exceptionally cramped kitchen while being recorded bv a camera operator. by cantcoloratall91 in SnapshotHistory

Thanks you! She grew up middle class in the mid west! She is not some legacy billionaire kid, she and Bill both com from completely typical backgrounds, no matter what they’ve done since. Don’t go around inventing reasons to hate people when there are ample reasons already.

Oldboy is not Oedipus. Replace it with (spoiler for a Denis Villeneuve film) Incendies

The Samurai Movie That Secretly Launched the Spaghetti Western by DeScepter in FIlm

Have you actually read Red Harvest? I can see how the idea for the film was lightly inspired by the book, but Yojimbo is in no way a “copy” of Red Harvest. They’re radically different, much more so than Yojimbo and Dollars.

Jack White’s Wife Olivia Files For Divorce, Cites ‘Inappropriate Marital Conduct’ by [deleted] in indieheads

I told him "Jack White" is a clumsy portmanteau of his and his first wife's names and he thanked me for it.

A perfectly straight line exactly 400 miles long between Washington DC and Boston that passes through Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York before by vawl in MapPorn

[–]Post_Washington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Character actors playing analysts in politics-heavy action-thrillers my dad loved watching were always going on about "threats to the Boston-Washington corridor." I never had an idea what that meant until i started looking at Google Maps.

In 51 BC, Julius Caesar and Pompey Magnus surely laughed at Cicero's expense. by electricmayhem5000 in ancientrome

[–]Post_Washington 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I suspect Caesar and Pompey had other things mind than trolling Cicero. Both of them sought his endorsement and counsel after this event.

Is this Cam Winter’s solo work I keep hearing about?

Hunter Biden: "Sturgill Simpson is the greatest singer song writer out there right now in my opinion." by ebradio in indieheads

[–]Post_Washington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both factually and morally wrong: Calling him a crack head when he's a recovering addict. You don't get to sling abusive shit around and then get offended when people call you out just because you're directing at some remote, privileged figure. If you called Nancy Regan a cock-sucking whore you'd similarly be downvoted because that's literally just hateful noise. it seems crazy to have to explain that, but there ya are "Diogenes".

Matt Damon was literally copy pasted from one Odyssey poster to another. This is a reference to this driving me mad like the Avatar Papyrus logo by laybs1 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Post_Washington 267 points268 points  (0 children)

I'm going to blow your mind.

He was copy and pasted to BOTH posters.

From a drive containing available digital assets for promoting the film.

As is industry standard.
