Forget everything we're gonna talk about cause I just wanna talk about HOW FUCKING CUTE THIS BABY GIRAFFE IS

But I think that's also why he mentioned the giraffe bit they did in Jackass. It may appear to not be moving that fast because of perception, but we honestly don't really know.

Back on The General, I would actually vote for this one over The French Connection in terms of "should we value it more for what it inspired?" Even with the issues this movie has that we've all discussed, I still think this story is actually something I'm able to personally comprehend more so than TFC. Plus while TFC gave us that one brilliant subway car chase, this movie gave us many points where we see Buster putting his life on the line for a stunt. Personally, my favorite stunt was when he had to perfectly throw one plank of wood onto another in order to get it off the tracks. It didn't just show something death defying (because it truly could have derailed that train if it hadn't worked), but it showed a true knowledge of physics and geometry to get that to work perfectly right on time. Absolutely mind blowing to watch an actor do things like that without any kind of safety net!

Lol it's cool! We're probably having way too many conversations at once. We'll dance it out.

I know your point? I had moved on? To talk about the show that Almost brought up? That you said you had not heard of? But, to your last sentence, obviously they're not painting them as a "wow look at how great everything is" in terms of the South/Nazi's winning, but I think the point in bringing up the fact that "Confederate's" criticisms were about our current climates are valid. The reason why "The Man in the High Castle" worked was because none of us could actually imagine a world in which Nazism would be accepted in this country (obviously was before Charlottesville), but "Confederate" is brought up in a time where people still can't let go of the fact that the South lost. So the road to hell is paved with good intentions but the brutality of black people involved in such a production is absolutely unneeded and was rightfully cut.

It was announced a year and a half ago It got hella heat online because we were days away from the inauguration when this was announced, and at a point where we were seeing black people killed at least once a week by cops, so a lot of the criticism I saw was, "We don't have to imagine... we're currently living it."
-
Yup, which reminded me they were inspired by the Hulu show that was an alternate reality where the Nazi's won.
-
It would definitely get more heat, but I guess the fact that people living in this the year 2018 still wave around the nazi flag like it's their god damn point of pride shows to me that somehow it would still get green lit, and then probably the studio would back peddle and act like they had no idea.

The fact that he did in fact change the story from the North's perspective to the South's is incredibly interesting and troubling. As I was watching it I was convinced that this must be about something that truly happened or based on a book, but it's more damaging to me that while yes it was based on a book, it was based on a book about the North. I wonder if Hollywood then was just paying attention to the same kinds of things that Hollywood now pays attention to. Like maybe the mass amounts of media being pushed in that suddenly paints The Confederacy as "not the bad guys" is because they knew that's what would get people in the seats? Like the same reason why Hollywood in modern times tried to convince us that female superheros weren't profitable? Or the way they try to convince us that Scarlett Johansson can be an Asian woman or a trans man and no one will notice?

Yesterday at work I had to edit a poster that came from Dinesh D'Souza's production company that paints a certain current president in a heroic light so honestly I wouldn't say never on something like that considering the times we live in...

What bugged me was they really couldn't settle on if she was smart or dumb. Like when he asks her to throw the wood into the fire and then she just stops to start sweeping the engine? And then he chastises her, throws the broom over the side, and tells her to pick up more wood. So what does she do? She picks up a twig and then he chokes her, then kisses her.
-
Ha! I was thinking as I was watching this last night, "Man this is as thrilling of an action movie as Fast and Furious!" I had heard of this movie but never knew what it was actually about (The Confederacy looks super great? Yikes) but knew that this was the train movie where he legitimately did a bunch of train stunts where he could have died if things didn't work out the way they wanted to, and in that sense this was actually really captivating. Sure this isn't the kind of action we see now, but knowing that he was actually required to perfectly move those beams on the track at the exact right time or else that very real train was going to kill him had me tuned the fuck in.

I can't claim that I know about Degas's sex life lol, but I remember my professor saying that he was basically obsessed with the ballerinas and sex workers because of sexual attraction so if he didn't engage with them physically or he did either way his view in painting them wasn't as innocent as I had thought it had been as a little girl. But he can't ruin my own personal attachment to his paintings. -

My beloved purple Kate Bishop icon disappeared into the ether (I'm blaming Thanos) so welcome my new beloved blue Kate Bishop icon everyone lol. -
Omggg I LOVED THAT DUDE! He was fucking excellent in Luke Cage and now I'm a lil salty about this. I like Jamie Foxx as an actor but he was not that good in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 when he was actually with powers (I thought he did a good job of being the awkward guy before though).

I still haven't seen this movie yet, but when my grandfather was alive he only had 3 DVDs in my memory and this was one of them. The other two were A Beautiful Mind and A River Runs Through It. So when he would actually buy something that he could rewatch you knew he loved it. My own DVD player is busted but I'm pretty convinced my mom still has that copy of Platoon at her house so hopefully I can get over there to watch it ASAP, cause I think it would mean a lot more to me if I got to watch the version that he bought himself.

I'm not familiar with this comic at all and so I was curious as to why you believed Renner was miscast until I looked up the dude and so nevermind I get it now lol. Guy looks like Simon Pegg in that movie "A Fantastic Fear of Everything."
