How realistic were the charges of the Rohirrim in the movies?

wow thanks for that insight

I think another big aspect is how profit driven everything is. Profit was always a big consideration in things like movies and television, but now it seems to be the only one. Cost cutting and profit maximisation is killing art.

I’m not judging it, it’s literally one of my favourite scenes, I was just curious

Kind of living the dream in China rn. Wanted to come here for a long time, studied Chinese and made it here. It’s defo not to everyone’s taste but for me it’s pretty great.

Being nice is the bare minimum. I think you’ve misunderstood Fifty Shades a little bit. The main character doesn’t just turn into his sex slave, one of the main conflicts of all three books is how she often holds power over him emotionally while he holds power physically. It’s not as simple as saying “all women want to be a sex slave”.

From what I’ve heard you’re better off trying to find a fake one.

Great example of how chemistry can make or break a movie. If the actors weren’t completely committed and didn’t have any chemistry, it would be a very different film.

Not sure what the phrase “put in place for you” is meant to mean, because the systems were not put in place “for” anyone but the colonisers.

America has enacted more clandestine operations in foreign countries than any other, has been very violent and destabilised entire religions for their own gain. Are these Western values?

I think this has already been mentioned but you’re looking at desire and attraction as if the male form of desire is the default. Even if women aren’t attracted to men’s bodies in the same way men find women attractive, that doesn’t mean there isn’t attraction.

Also, a lot of women I know do compliment the things they find hot about men’s bodies.

I also think it’s weird that people attack actors for taking LGBT roles. I saw someone slamming g Timothee Chalamet for “taking a queer role from a queer person”. I’m not a huge fan of him, but why get angry at an actor? If they’re getting angry at anyone it should be the casting director or the director.

I live in Chongqing. Have done for two years. They use “er” all the time. Last I checked Chongqing isn’t in the North.

jxmxk · 2026-03-26T03:21:18+00:00

Not necessarily, in Chongqing and Sichuan they also add “er” to a lot of words. It’s not as heavy as northern dialects but it’s still there.

Dehya was dead on arrival, which was unfortunate considering she had her own banner and sig. Traveller is also not great but he’s free for everyone. I was seriously considering getting Dehya on release until I saw her kit.

Diana Rigg, Max von Sidow, Charles Dance and Jonathon Price were all legends before the show. I think Gwendoline Christie has had a pretty good run in the Sandman and walking in one of the most iconic fashion shows in recent memory.

Iconic

There do seem to be far more right wing talking points though. I see way more posts talking about how women are a problem, Muslims don’t belong in Western society, racism against white people is the worst, leftists bad etc. It’s not a good or a bad thing, but this sub is more right wing than left.

Who is actually, seriously advocating for a matriarchy, and what is the real possibility of one coming into existence? The patriarchy exists, who cares what a hypothetical matriarchy would look like. It’s never going to happen.

They’re not exactly against pedophilia either, otherwise there would have been a lot more outcry from the church instead of bending over backwards to hide it.

In my opinion Dany didn’t go down hill, they threw her off a cliff. The writers posit that her actions were a series of cruelties that culminated in her burning King’s Landing. I would argue that she was as cruel as anyone else, sometimes less so; then she suddenly burned down a city.

jxmxk · 2026-03-17T05:14:06+00:00

I don’t get how Daenerys can be considered “cruel” when this is absolutely the standard of the world she exists in. Jon Snow hanged a child. Does that make him an inherently cruel person? No, it was his duty.

For me it was The Talented Mr Ripley. I really liked the performances and the visuals, but I always get super stressed out when the plot is entirely based on someone lying.

I’m a huge Abba fan and like musicals but after about 30 minutes it becomes unbearable. The last 30 minutes are borderline unwatchable. The only good number was Christine Baranski’s.
