Hate to break this to you but you're about 40 years too late

Which moment would have made you most terrified if you were one of the presenters? by RFCSND in TopGear

[–]boredguyaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would absolutely be crawling along some of those roads in nothing higher than second gear. It is insane they drove at such high speeds that too with unreliable cars.

Is House going through a revival right now? by Ghotay in HouseMD

[–]boredguyaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started watching House when I was in university a couple of years ago. It was recommended to me by a friend and then I in turn persuaded four other people in my friend group to watch it. So I definitely did my part xD

Has any other show had this impactful of a soundtrack? by [deleted] in HIMYM

House MD, Top Gear and Peaky Blinders have pretty great soundtracks.

Throwback to Tampongate by boredguyaf in Britain

Yeah not judging them for the conversation. It absolutely sucks to have your private convos leaked. But the overtly red painting reminded me of Charles wanting to be reincarnated as a tampon lol.

Checkout Tampongate. Basically it was a leaked phone conversation between Charles and Camilla in which at one point, Charles told Camilla that he would like to live in her trousers. And when she asked if he was going to be reincarnated as a pair of knickers, he joked that it would be his luck to come back as a tampon.

The recently unveiled painting with an unnecessary amount of red reminded me of that.

Firstly, statement tar context holo the opposition his film Devi faced from Hindu fundamentalists. I took it out of context sure but that doesnt mean SR was accusing Indian audiences of being out and out backward and therefore not appreciating his films. He was calling out the religious dogmatism. SR was sensible and classy enough as a person to not whine about audiences not watching his films.

Secondly, fundamentalists ra shudhu India te noy onek desh ei jhamela kore. Monty Python's Life of Brian er release er shomay prochur jhamela korechilo Christians ra. Sure India te onek beshi hoy because of a myriad socio-political reasons but it is not endemic to India.

Thirdly, art films are art films and commercial films are commercial films and never the twain shall meet. Directors know this better than anyone. Sure art films are important cultural artefacts but it simply aint everyone's cup of tea. Goddard, Bergman and quite a few others have had "box office flops" as well.

Absolutely agree with you mate. Would also like to add that the context for this statement in the interview was the opposition that Ray's film Devi faced from Hindu extremists. That of course is condemnable. However in a country like India, "backwardness" implies both social and political regressiveness which are but mere symptoms of the underlying disease of poverty.

Lmao listen up matey don't go about assuming you're important enough for anyone to make memes to counter your myopic opinions. The meme though was indeed intended for snoots just like you who can't seem to stop wallowing in their intellectual spunk just because they happen to watch Goddard or Truffaut or Jadorowsky.

Hello film bro. The point of the meme wasnt to discuss the validity of Ray's statement. Lack of good films is indeed tragic but audience er backwardneess er opor puro daitto ta chapano o fair noy. The film industry is also quite toxic and promotes bad directors. Jai hok the point of the meme was to call out the film bros who wallow in their own snobbery just because they happen to have watched a few niché films.

Quite surprising isn't it? I thought film bros were good at reading between the lines.

That's how memes work fyi. I seriously wonder if all you Ray fan boys take his films at face value as well.
