  1. In today's edition of Cancel Culture....
  2. Watched Life Itself (the Dan Fogelman one) this evening with the girlfriend and....it wasn't bad? Don't know what the critics saw that resulted in a 14% RT score. Clearly the audience disagreed, given the 83% audience score. We enjoyed it. 6/10
  3. Angelina Jolie in the first Tomb Raider launched me into puberty.
  4. Soooo the Bubba Wallace incident was a whole lotta nothing. Congrats everyone.
  5. The nature of those breakdown videos is that they waaaaay overthink things. The movie will be fine.
  6. Speaking of games, recently started playing Watch Dogs for the first time (for $9 bucks on the X-Box store, why not?). I'm kinda hooked.
  7. Ah, gotcha. We'll see what comes of it. What's the general feeling on COVID over there in the UK? Fear? Desperation to open up again?
  8. Meh, I'm not sure. It will get old quick. There's only so long people will keep up the buzz and conversation before saying "release the damn movie already or I'm out".
  9. So #BrownFragility and #BrownComplicity are trending on Twitter. For real. Check this out I can't anymore. 😂
  10. Huh. I hadn't heard this. I figured clinical approval - which hasn't happened yet, to my knowledge - would be necessary before an order of this magnitude.
  11. I am aware, and that's my entire point. I realize we can't avoid the court of public opinion but that's why I'm counting on the grown ups - aka the studio, Spielberg, etc. - to not engage in that and wait for due process, like how WB handled the Johnny Depp situation leading up to Fantastic Beasts 2. Let Twitter and woke folks cancel away. They have no power but to rage amongst themselves (so long as nobody caves to it - I know that they in fact do have a lot of power nowadays with people in power caving ).
  12. Uh, no. I'm waiting for some sort of investigation to take place and then waiting to see if he's actually charged and then convicted? Have we completely forgotten the concept of due process and how a court of law works in the age of cancel culture?
  13. I agree, especially with a movie like this as you said. If Ansel is indeed guilty, the movie is toast.
  14. I think everyone involved will act like grown ups and move forward until the claims are verified and Ansel is actually charged.
  15. Sigh. I see the court of public opinion is already in session. Let's wait on the validity of the claims before we do any cancelling, shall we? I'd say this on Twitter too but that's a lost cause. Blue check marks all over are embarrassing themselves as usual.
  16. If you only knew what was in the air in a tightly packed theatre even before COVID.... Sad to say you'll be waiting a loooooong time if a vaccine is the benchmark for you.
  17. Gut feeling? Eternals. I feel like that movie, though an entirely new set of characters and all that, is going to be mega popular. Think GotG breakout but bigger.
  18. I think people are getting so used to cancel culture nowadays that it's being abused. For people to turn on Rowling like they have is disgusting. I'll tell you what's doing our development a disservice: thinking and acting with our feelings and not our intellect. I'm blown away at how almost all reason as gone out the window in favor of....whatever you call this progressive culture that's taking over right now. Maybe it's natural selection at work. I dunno....
  19. Yeah I worded that poorly. I meant mistakes specifically referring to sex. Obviously people are born with disabilities and stuff like you said and that's my point: if someone is born with a penis and a vagina, that is a deformity to me. It's not suddenly proof that "Hey, sex isn't binary!!". It's the exception to the rule, not the rule. As I said to @aabattery, who like filmlover, is being a heck of a good sport about all this, maybe one day the concept will be very real to people like me. But at this point, for me personally, it isn't. In the meantime, I wish no ill will on any transgender person whatsoever and only the best, most comfortable life possible. That's the best I can do.
