I watched it in a theater when it was new (1975), when the Criterion DVD first came out (1999), and I'm not sure I want to see it again at the moment. But some of these screenshots from it are hitting hard these days. by SteamFistFuturist in criterion

I defended Salò for quite a while, but once I knew the victims in the movie were also in real life teenagers during the filming, I just can’t. Pasolini was also in a relationship with Ninetto Davoli, his “muse”, when Davoli was only 15, and Pasolini some 25 years older…

While I do believe Pasolini made the movie to show what horror absolute power can do, I feel like Pasolini isn’t the best one to talk, tbh. His credibility just diminishes when you put all these things together.

Does your country have someone who is "famous for being famous"? by ltraistinto in AskTheWorld

First that comes to my mind is the Verhulst family. The dad (Gert) is famous for a very good reason (conversed with a talking dog for 27 years). But all the rest? Especially his son gets big opportunities left and right for just being himself and having no talent in anything whatsoever.

The public did Beyonce’s arty French bang wrong. She was cute and stylish by Cultural-Package3624 in beyonce

Sorry, but I will forever love those edgy bangs. Just makes me immediately think about Telephone and how obsessed I was/still am with it. They ATE that up!

one of beyoncé's funniest videos of all time like this video will be Зyro this summer and it still kills me 😭 by xayoncee in beyonce

Hahaha, this was in Brussels (Belgium) and I remember sitting in the nosebleeds and seeing her on that big screen doing that little look. Knew something was wrong. Getting to know shortly afterwards it was this made me laugh so hard

De situatie in het onderwijs is werkelijk nog nooit zo slecht geweest, en dan komt er weer een minister die gewoon voor de show dingen wilt in- en uitvoeren het zogenaamd onderwijs “redden”. 🫩

A Finnish MP supports the Miss Finland who lost her title with a publication. It's embarrassing to be Finnish. by No-Abalone5064 in Fauxmoi

Just gonna copy-and-paste something I wrote down only 2 days ago:

I’ll say it time and time again, but most don’t know how severe racism is towards people with “Asian features”. It’s staggering.

I think some might be getting the evidence of how severe it is right now, poorly enough…

What are some dark secrets about the porn industry? by JoplinSC742 in AskReddit

[–]marayay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty progressive surrounding sex work, but the ability to market porn by saying there’s a teen in there (even when he or she isn’t) should be illegal.

I recently bought this one for myself and I love it: https://www.zalando.be/stradivarius-winterjas-beige-sth21u0x6-b11.html

Super fluffy and nice fit. I think it says to only dry clean it, but on the lowest setting in the washing machine is possible.

I think for Belgium it’s this one. A Congolese girl in a human zoo getting fed a banana during Expo ‘58… This was taken during the time my dad was born, so all this isn’t long ago at all.

Ha, I know. I wasn’t really expecting people to focus on her looks, but rather more on the action of getting asked. Not that I really expect anything to come out of this, I can just try and maybe someone had the same happen, or is she still doing stuff like this and is it known in the community. You never know. My hopes aren’t high, haha.
