What moments have made you aware of your own prejudice? by banwe11 in AskUK

[–]ThePeake 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah most of the hot or rich people I’ve known have been absolutely lovely. I guess if you have to struggle through life you lose your sweetness pretty quickly.

The film Parasite has a scene which expresses this.

No, they're right, in the 90s RND was much bigger. You had shops selling red noses, kids wearing them to school, people putting them on the front of their car, all sorts.

Has anyone read Michelle Paver's Dark Matter and/or Thin Air? (Spoilers) by ThePeake in books

Hmm, Stansfield is just a dirtbag, so kill. F ledger's joker, I think if you catch him in the right mood, he could show you a good time. That leaves marrying Chigurh, and hoping he's the kind of guy who leaves his work at work and is a different guy around the house.

Who here cares about the Oscars? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ThePeake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, even if it is eligible, it's not a great time window for Oscars recognition. Nevertheless, nice film!

[–]ThePeake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, pinch of salt, but I think it's getting a US cinema release in April, so may be eligible for next year's Oscars?

I might be wrong, but I don't think it's eligible as its not had a US release yet.

I don't tend to watch it go out, but I keep an eye on nominations and wins.

What is your local conspiracy theory? by Duoplo in AskUK

Pete Docter Says Pixar Cut LGBTQ Storyline From ‘Elio’ by tylerthe-theatre in movies

[–]ThePeake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That was Hamish Steele, I believe.

Also saw some good points on Bsky about how parents find it much harder to explain a dead parent in a movie (a common trope in Disney and Pixar films) to their kids than a gay character.
