I don't care if i am considered an ally or not, really. Not anymore. Not since that started to entail my strict adherence to a code prescribed by people like yourself. I'll support in the ways that I feel comfortable, regardless of whether or not you or others want to call me an ally.

Who TF hates Schindler's List? Grow a brain.

Do you use Twitter? Run by a known transphobe. Pretty much every cell phone company uses child labor. Get off your high horse. I’m sick of people being shamed for playing a video game or reading a book. There is no ethical consumption in todays capitalist society

Lawless?

I was waiting for Simon and Garfunkel the whole movie.

I was about to comment the same thing, I really love the soundtrack.

It really got me into Roy Ayers and I listened to the soundtrack for weeks after first watching the movie.

You’re supposed to grow old for kids for babies that’s how aging works lmao

YOU’RE AN INANIMATE FUCKING OBJECT!

it’s fair if the movie isn’t for you, but In Bruges is pretty much the dictionary definition of dark comedy

The scene where Colin Farrell is about to kill himself is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen

Red Ryders Lunatic Fringe needle drop when Louden is getting prepped for the match with Shoot is epic.

I can’t attest to any less than legal means, but I use the app Just Watch all the time to figure out where to find stuff.

I’m not finding In Bruges free on anything

I appreciate that first bit because I very much fall into that camp lol, but I never would because I don't want to step on any toes. Even if I don't think anyone's saying I can't, I just would fold in on myself nevertheless if it hurt someone in ways people borrowing something from my culture would never hurt me.

I think making it black and white is just easier because making exceptions for this and that means deciding what is or isn't okay will take over people's lives more than it already does when it's already pretty black and white as it is. Like the cornrows example may be more egregious because the tensions that exist across those communities are more extant than anything between white girls and Japanese girls lol (We've buried the hatchet since WWII I think it's safe to say), but isn't it just easier to say, just avoid as much as you possibly can? I think most feel it is on both sides, even if one side remains in longing to still adopt neat parts of other cultures secretly.

Damn. Haven't seen Anna Faris since Scary Movie/Smiley Face. Will be interesting to see her act again.

I was confused reading your title, and thought I better go and double check and rewatch the trailer to what I thought was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. Yep, trailer shows a wild ride comedy which it totally was so 🤷‍♂️

Well part of that sounds like Man on Fire but I know it isnt.

Pump Up the Volume the movie and soundtrack shaped me. Judgement Night and the Crow are both enhanced by the OST and got way to much play from me in the day.

Ooo I just watched this last night. Whilst I too thought it was going to be a lot more fun before I watched it (not because of any trailer, I almost never see trailers before watching films) I still really loved it.

I think I was expecting something more like Hot Fuzz for some reason? But it fell more in line with Martin McDonagh's other films and that still works well for me. It has it's own type of comedy that I enjoy (love a good jest against the Americans).

Can't say much about the trailer, maybe next time don't watch trailers? I find going in with a loose sense of what the movie is about is best and surprise surprise you get less misled cause there wasn't much there to mislead you from the start.

Sure, but not every instance is the same. If there is some white girl wanting to wear a kimono because she thinks it is beautiful, where is the harm? I don't really see it.
If there is some white celebrity who thinks they really should wear cornrows for their hip hop music video, then it becomes a little more interesting.
I tend to think in general there needs to be real harm being done, now the problem ofc arises when we think that someone being offended is already enough, which i generally do not agree with (i think it can be a good reason, but mostly when it correlates with other harm).
In any case, i think this is a highly nuanced topic and a lot depends on the specific case imo, which doesn't really seem to be the general opinion on it though, it feels more dogmatic than that and supposes some form of 'ownership' i just cannot agree with.

Sorry for this tangent, it was just one small part of your comment haha.

We're talking about slightly different things is the problem I think.

I don't think academia gets to say what something is about either, that's just as bad if not worse. I believe them encouraging a belief in Death of the Author merely serves the end of people not believing something just because one person said it was the case, even as the creator, if they have evidence there's more to it than what they'd said. And if anything I found my high school classes had wanted you to take the author's word for it more than not, anyway. I'm not convinced this is just how the world of academics universally thinks.

To be 100% clear: I think it's very important to know what the author had actually intended. I don't think it's important to believe them over what your gut says. That's literally it. I know we still disagree fundamentally but I don't think this means what you think I think it means.

Get some colored LED lights and you could blow their minds when the entertainment center starts glowing.

Singles is a shotty movie attached to one of the best 90s rock albums you could buy.

• Atonement

It's not stupid at all, it's an angle a lot of people probably haven't thought about as a reading even though it is quite literally what is happening.

A long time ago the original Star Wars got me into John Williams and a lifetime of love for film scores from many composers. I still prefer a traditional symphonic score, but love more modern vibes like Tron, Dune and Oblivion also.
