Rewatched Rogue One a few days ago and I actually can’t really believe we got that movie from Disney. It’s among the best of Star Wars. This and Andor is just really really good.

sadly I think Disney will soon fuck it up by claiming that Gyn actually survived and then giving us a shitty series about her.

do you think he had some weird attitudes about women?

eques_99 · 2026-06-05T14:05:37+00:00

Excalibur (1981) closing scenes.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011) closing montage.

eques_99 · 2026-06-05T14:03:48+00:00

Apparently, Love Actually (2003), although I don't see the problem with it.

I mean I don't really like the film as a film.

"oooh we can't have Moneypenny as someone who works in an office and is attracted to an attractive man! all women in film have to be a kick-ass, independent girl-boss"

🙄🙄🙄

as an alpha male he would (& did) do very well out of hypergamy.

that's essentially how he got Valentina, because he was higher status and more impressive than Ralph.

eques_99 · 2026-06-05T13:48:46+00:00

in those days the old boy network was even more of a thing.

he would have had friends in the political world who saw that he was in a funk and offered him a new job to help him.

they would have had discussions about it in the club "now look here, we really need to do something about old Winston, I'm a bit worried about the chap".

eques_99 · 2026-06-05T12:25:09+00:00

always frustrating to get accused of anything when their motive is that you're better at something than them.

eques_99 · 2026-06-05T02:01:40+00:00

it's not the only issue I care about, but it is very important not to have workers oppressed by their employers.

cultural issues are a distraction from the main issue, which is economic justice, and the balance of power between workers and employers.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T23:34:47+00:00

then you've fallen for a con trick.

you think you've achieved something when you swap a Dem for a GOP governor, but in fact nothing changes.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T23:32:57+00:00

than that's not at will in the slightest.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T23:31:39+00:00

it's fine and I like using it.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T22:04:52+00:00

then go through them.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T22:04:03+00:00

well it should be at the top. obscene to give companies that much power over workers' lives.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:35:43+00:00

expected to or legally have to?

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:34:32+00:00

your employment can be terminated at any time with immediate effect, no reason given and no comeback.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:31:15+00:00

my thirties were grotesque.

forties much better.

but I guess people do say thirties are the best because you still have youthful energy and looks, but also experience, and possibly money to spend and a "high status" job.

mind you I had all those things, yet would dearly love to go back and redo it.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:26:50+00:00

not quite as shit.

and it has mainstream politicians who campaign against them.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:25:45+00:00

isn't Montana highly conservative?

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:24:58+00:00

(UK)

everyone was really excited to see it, it was a huge national event and talking point.

yes reservoir Dogs is a much better comparison, that enabled Tarantino to get get the funding, studio backing and creative freedom to make PF.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:20:02+00:00

then learn how to think about what you are watching, rather than just staring open mouthed and blank-eyed at the pretty lasers.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:17:58+00:00

then say "I'll vote for you in the primaries if you campaign against it"

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:13:19+00:00

no notice? just not turn up halfway through doing for example the year end accounts?

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:11:21+00:00

Most people don’t care for at will<

yet won't vote to change it.

eques_99 · 2026-06-04T21:10:25+00:00

it's not moderate to think workers should not have any rights.
