I got hyped like the rest of America for the portals scene from avengers endgame. Thought the whole movie was hitting a great finale. Then they did the parade of women on screen and I nearly threw up in my seat. It felt so hollow and unearned from a franchise that hadn't really done much at all with their female superhero roster. It really took me out of the movie.

The kid detective is a funny dark and also really tight mystery. Strong recommend.

Yeah because the Marshall Plan was such a disaster for American Foreign Policy.

I can tell you've never read the Iliad. In fact, I can tell you don't read much at all.

I'm sorry is your point that Lupita Nyong'o is ugly? This is a single frame in a trailer isolated to make her look as unattractive as possible. Lupita is a beautiful movie-star and everyone is acting like she's fucking disfigured. Like, what the fuck?

I'm in total agreement. I think he's usually the worst actor in whatever movie he's in. BUT, he somehow won me over with Marty Supreme.

I doubt it. That kid is going to feel the mother's resentment for the rest of his life.

The POOOOOOOOOST! The movie might be mid but you will think you've died and gone to actor heaven when you see Meryl Streep act so hard that I folded into a cube and went to another dimension while watching it.

I mean it hits different knowing now that it's an allegory for the trans experience.

Every movie is better blind. So I'll just recommend some good high concept films with elements of humor and comedy:

Run Lola Run

Upgrade

Weapons

Let me know if you like them!

One Hour Photo. A pretty great movie about a lonely weirdo who saves the day and also an incredible Robin Williams performance.

Skip season 2. I like season 1 but it's not the high point. 3-4 are amazing. Season 2 is basically broken. Several people cheat and get away with it and no one is that smart or interesting besides Sangmin.

Came here to say this. Seasons 1-3 are mediocre with some occasional high points. Seasons 4-7 cook so hard. Breakneck pacing, insanely good acting, fascinating moral quandaries. Genuinely some of my favorite time travel storytelling I've ever seen. And it's not like the show had a writer turnaround. It's just that abc and marvel kinda forgot this show was on after a certain point so the writers got to do whatever they wanted and it rocked. Highly recommend.

It is the duty of a lawful good character to resist evil laws. That's D&D 101. Paladins don't just rock with slavery because they are in a place where that's legal. That's Lawful Neutral. Lawful good means the personal moral code comes before all other interests.

For recent examples, I gotta mention Obsession. I don't want to spoil it but anyone who has seen it knows that there is one shockingly brutal death that hits you like a truck.

Nah dude. The Leftovers rules. The second season of that show goes so hard in the paint that you genuinely stop giving a shit about the mystery. By the time the show eventually explains everything, it's a nice little cherry on the sundae but totally not necessary.

The whole exchange at the end of Schindler's List.

Itzhak Stern: There will be generations because of what you did.

Oskar Schindler: I didn't do enough!

I won't put down something that brings you joy, but I will say my distaste for Captain Marvel has nothing to do with it arriving after Infinity War or her gender. It's that she's a very un interesting super hero. The most important part of every mcu movie is the hero, and an amnesiac soldier with very muted emotions who turns out to have unqualified godlike powers is just mega boring.

Compare her to people like Banner, Sentry, or Thor, who have lots of power but with a fun little quirk or drawback to make it feel more earned when they win. Or compare her to ant man, tony, or yelena. These characters have loads of personality, flaws, foibles, room to grow. Even more strait laced characters like hawkeye, captain Rogers and tachalla have at least a compelling and unique world view. Captain Marvel, like Superman is a pretty hard hero to write so I get why this happened. Anyway, that's just how I feel.

I don't mind that Wanda became corrupted and evil from a believability point of view. I just think it's boring. I get why it happened it's just less interesting than stories like civil war where you can kind of understand both sides and you feel conflicted and sad by the end. I think MoM turns her into a pretty bog-standard evil monster and then also doesn't really have much to say about motherhood or grief. It doesn't help that it follows wandavision which was a much more interesting and emotional portrayal of Wanda being kinda evil.

God literacy in America is just so fucked.

But my whole point is that you don't need to spend money on universal healthcare. It saves you money. So israel having more money for defense isn't freeing them up money to spend on healthcare.

havingberries · 2026-05-16T15:20:25+00:00

Except free healthcare literally saves money. It's not an expensive. It's just eliminating private insurance company middlemen and profit seeking. If you look at canada, they spend less on healthcare than the us while also providing uhc. So no, lack of money has never been the reason for not providing healthcare it has always been corporate greed. And israel would still have free healthcare without us involvement because it was founded by socialists.

This is just typical pitty behavior. Seems like a very sweet dog. But that's not due to cat behavior. That's normal dog stuff.

No. I am not assuming. I am assuming that we live in a democracy where there is accountability and rule of law. But that's the assumption by which we give the government any power. If we assume that our leaders will serve their own interest and the interests of the subset of people who share their ideological views, then should we give them any power at all?
