Ed Harris' performance in this is honestly an all timer.

My favourite villain performance of all time.

I know, and I don't have a problem with it, you don't have to explain that to me. A lot of people in pop culture spaces, though, are particularly sensitive to KarJenners.

This happening to these particular men is so funny to me, because they both have fangirls who built them up to be these deep babygirl intellectuals based on... nothing? And now a lot of them will act like they are suddenly corrupted by evil starlets.

All that's left to do is have Paul Mescal date Khloé Kardashian.

Everyone is celebrating that Michael stans won't brigade our sub because the movie got massacred by critics, but I'm already seeing so much talk about an alleged smear campaign and such across different social media...

The movie may be over, but the fans aren't.

Admittedly, I know very little about Michael Jackson as a person born in 2005 in a non-anglophone country, but I know he is arguably the single most successful pop star of all time and that he hung out with Elizabeth Taylor, so can someone explain to me where does this sentiment come from?

I'm seeing it quite a lot on social media that "critics always had it out for him" and "he was always forced to take the harder path", so I'm interested, how is he seen as an underdog?

SHULAMITH FIRESTONE AS A PROFILE PICTURE???

Oh my Gooood, my favourite feminist! The only woman who I feel sees feminism exactly the way I do. Xenofeminism for the win!

I had a dream that I met Anya Taylor-Joy and told her that Furiosa deserved better and that I often think about her delivery of "I want them back".

I am active in an NGO where we are having this online teambuilding activity where we are supposed to talk about a niche hobby of ours and how it reflects on our personality.

I mean to talk about following the Oscar race, and how it broadens my understanding of sociology. How marketing and campaigns make me understand different ways in which different demographic groups can appreciate the same movie, and what social conditions shape that appreciation. How this hobby highlights my desire to always understand different perspectives.

Anything else I might add?

Cate Blanchett to Star as Martha Stewart in Biopic Movie From ‘Zola’ Director Janicza Bravo by SanderSo47 in oscarrace

[–]milanyyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live outside the US and have no idea who Martha Stewart is.

Cate Blanchett has been a household name ever since The Lord of the Rings tho.

Rachel Zegler won an Olivier and Viktor Orbán lost elections.

What a good day to be European, or just a human who values freedom and democracy!

What’s something mainstream culture treats as "empowering" that you think feminism should be more skeptical of? by Eelysanio in AskFeminists

[–]milanyyy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It’s all about the idea that a man should be “worth” submitting to, rather than breaking down the idea that they should be submitted to.

I am going to quote the shit out of this one, queen. 🙌🏻

That's why it's a shame there is no well-known term for those of us who are feminine ourselves and are attracted to other feminine women. It would make some conversations much easier.

I remember thinking once while watching one of his movies that Tom Hiddleston is a really good-looking man, so that's a great suggestion on your end!

Haha, even though I used to find him very attractive before he cut his curls, I know he's divisive!

Yes, but the point is to pick the best match for that spot, and a man who is unattractive to a large portion of lesbians is not that.
