Honestly? >!He’s pretty damn good in the role, too!<

Oh yeah, how’d I forget this. Awesome movie, especially if you’re a fan of NIN

Requiem for a Dream is a must. Children of Men, too.

Haha woah buddy, you’re asking some sensitive questions there

Try looking up the correlation between the Occupy movement in '08 and the rise in race-based discussion in the media that came right afterwards ;)

Elaborate?

Honest question, was I supposed to come away from the documentary thinking that Dan Schneider was anything other than a useful scapegoat for a much larger, systematic problem? The idea of that guy fighting against everyone above and below him to fit in some pedophilic agenda is laughable and, if that’s what’s to believed, isn’t what’s communicated in the series. There were probably hundreds of adults involved in those productions with many of them having complete power to veto the showrunner.

Do Deadites count (not trying to start a fan war here lol)? Because I could throw just about anything from The Evil Dead in here

At first, I understood these to be satire. I also don’t know what to think of the movie or A24 now.

Genuine question, is this what you actually think will happen, or just a fantasy about what you want? Those types are so galvanized from a decade plus of online echo chambers that I doubt any of that shock would get through to them. Meanwhile, the harm A24 is doing by funding (through ad placements) conservative commentators is very real and very immediate.

I have yet to see the movie so I can’t really comment about the content/message as it relates to conservative media

Same here. I was planning on getting tickets this weekend, but knowing that a portion of my money will be going to support conservative hate commentators has made me change my mind.

A24 is a business

This is true, but they’re also (AFAIK) still privately-owned, which doesn’t make them beholden to the same “line go up at all costs” legal requirements of public businesses. They could have conceded some monetary returns of it meant keeping their principles, IMO.

I honestly wasn’t even aware that A24 was left-leaning.

Maybe it just speaks to how poorly I view the right nowadays, but A24 always seemed pretty leftist to me. More than almost any studio of their size or larger, they seem to emphasize the stories of marginalized folks in a way that (again, to me) felt authentic. Their movies always featured POC or LGBT performers or characters that didn’t just feel like tokens but also didn’t hand-wave the experiences of belonging to those groups. Which is why I feel especially confused that they’ve decided to fund the people that make a living off hating those same groups.

Why is anyone using X in 2024?

Imagine being trans and using Twitter in 2024

If it doesn’t feature Katy Perry singing in Simlish, I don’t want it.

Bro

Ur mom is rotund

It seems like the landscapeboys lost

I think most of them live in Congress

IJ is probably my guilty pleasure/comfort show. There are some day where I’ll put the series on shuffle for literally 16 hours or more while I go about my day. That being said, I have no idea why the show is still going on and if they didn’t choose to end it when Joe Gatto left, I can’t think of a better excuse than changing networks.
