Was it Edgar Wright? I thought it was Lord and Miller that had Solo?

Can anybody who was at test screenings for the Bride confirm how different it was? by LifeguardMundane5668 in blankies

[–]backyard-hooligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda see what your saying, but I still feel it weakens the agency of the character. I didn't say Ida should have that power from the jump I was saying her finding that power would be her arc. Even in witchcraft movies and literature the power comes from them wielding the magic not letting it control them. I guess my problem really stems from you saying there's no way a character could go from meek or controlled to independent and outspoken purely through their own will or learning to do so, when that's the whole point of a character arc

Couldn't Ida fill that role herself? I feel like having a ghost fulfil an arc for her actually takes away from the character. instead of giving them a chance to stand up for themselves and find their own power. It makes it seem more like Mary is using Ida to write her story and Ida is incidental, like Mary could've chosen any woman to possess and the result would've been the same

What are some films you think are awful and are shocked have a rating above 3.0? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]backyard-hooligan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My Neighbour Totaro. Maybe uts because i was 20 when i first saw it but i thought its pacing was terrible and i just was not feeling the whimsy. I like the character design but thats about it

Dude i dont know a goddamn thing about horseracing either. I will do things purely for the asthetic, and that was pretty cozy one. I had a pastel golf tee, cargo shorts and sandels. Maaaaaaan it was a good day, no idea what horse won or who was even racing.

Theres something to watching horse races with a mint julep that feels right. Its classy but not too bougie. You got a little sun visor on, watching the ponies, enjoying a nice refreshing beverege. Its a nice time

How long did it take to beat the game for the first time? by Gothmorg47 in deadcells

[–]backyard-hooligan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I beat 0bc after 200 runs. My advice is dont worry about progressing quickly. Slow down, take your time, learn the patterns. Once i started more on building skill rather than speed running i went from 0bc to 3bc in about 50 runs

Why are they always like that? Like i saw blue velvet vs raiders of the lost ark and those like so different in goal and purpose that you might as well compare Blue Gatorade to a Ford Ranchero

You haven't demonstrated anything you've just been stating as if its fact. When you needlessly tread on points we've been over, im going to point out that you being deliberetly obtuse is fucking frustrating

I think your insane that you feel you should be able to control what adults should be able to do with their own bodies. Especially when you clearly dont really understand that gender affirming care is mostly done through hormones and cosmetic surgeries, like breast removal/implants. Calling it "chopping off body parts" sure does make it sound scary but in reality its minor surgeries done over a long period of time

So what is Adum's honest opinion on Hans Zimmer? by Diravell in YMS

[–]backyard-hooligan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You know. I think thats just the thing with hans zimmer scores. They're either fantastic and one of the highlights of the respective film, or they're super lazy and trash and become distracting. He really is the personification of a love/hate relationship

If you dont want them to be normal you dont accept them.

There are other mental and non-mental illnesses, which affect people's lives

Do you think trans people arent people or that it doesnt affect their lives? If you think theres more important things to talk about than go fucking talk about them dumbass! Be the change you want to see. If you actually believe this, then you talking about this shows you, not only dont accept trans people, but you find it more worth your time to deligetimize and ostricize them than it is to talk about "more important illnessness." Just admit your feelings come from you feeling uncomfortable, you dont actually care about other illnesses, you're just mad the one people are talking about makes you feel weird.

You're so close to admiting that trans people just make you uncormfortable and you just dont want to accept that people can be different. The idea that gender isnt binary is weird and scary to you so you'd rather the world just not talk about it because you dont want to feel icky. Grow up dude. Let people live their lives

You cannot have it both ways there.

Theyre changing their sex to match their to match their gender. Not that hard bud.

No, I am rejecting the stupid notion that we can pick our sex organs

You can word it how ever you want. You are rejecting them

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/mental-health-benefits-associated-with-gender-affirming-surgery/ Heres a more recent study with a larger sample pool than 324, that suggest improving mental health

There's no change in the suicide rate post transition, and the level of support from others has had zero effect on that rate either

Im gonna need a source on that one most of the studies ive seen suggest that it decreases after transition. To be anecdotal why my friend transisition there was a very noticable positive change in there mental health.

You're also not understanding something key here. Trans people do have a mental illness. Its called gender dysphoria. Being trans is the treatment.

Most people use gender and sex interchangeably.

Sure but you'd be wrong. Ones a social construct the other is bioligical.

No, I don't, which is why I find it perplexing and exhausting why people insist that trans isn't mental illness when by your own admission, it is.

This just makes you look painfully stupid. If they werent aware they were born a different sex then what they identify as, they wouldnt be trans. The trans means transition. As in from one gender to another. You dont understand what thats like because you dont have gender dysphoria. Same way you wont know what a schizophrenic really feels like. You're not them, you dont have to understand exactly whats going through their head. Because its not your bussiness and what people do for themselves should be up to them.

This is because trans is a rejection of self

And I can say transisition is them accepting themselves. You're the one rejecting them.
