(I don't mean money, you fools) Anybody know how his fam is? I've spent the last 3 years trying to get to know my estranged father in Africa. Turns out he's a highly intelligent, but manipulative/dishonest person. He's a career politician in Nigeria. My mom used to warn me about him because she knew...

Millennials/Gen Z and everyone else live in two entirely separate universes at this point. The former get their info from decentralized and democratized sources on social media and can see what's really going on, while the latter still get all their info from the oligarch-mediated and manufactured ...

Thought Rango was boring as shit when I first saw it. Fell asleep multiple times. Was aware that a lot of work went into it and it was nominated for a bunch of stuff...so I really tried to like it, but just wasn't feeling it. Then I watched it with some kids like a year ago, and it turns out it's a ...

Been thinking about game of thrones recently since I brought up that Cersei walk of shame scene. It's wild how nobody gives a damn anymore about a show that held much of pop culture hostage for the past decade or so. And a similar thing happened with the recent Star Wars trilogy...because the produc...

Cassius Clay

Yeah I mean all of this was basically what I was trying to say back in the Cuties thread. Certain sexual acts and nudity are not comparable to violence specifically because they cannot be faked. You can watch a whole bunch of action movies where people get brutally murdered on screen; but in real l...

Cassius Clay

Yeah, I get how all that works. It's the directors'/producers' jobs to make everyone comfortable behind the scenes and all that. But, check this out...I happened to watch Cape Fear with some buddies today and the movie contains a perfect example of what I'm talking about. There's an infamous scene w...

Can someone who cares explain or comment on the weirdly realistic sex scenes in Dogtooth? Haven't seen that myself, but I think Jimbo's watched that. Next time he's around you could try asking him about the movie. Well, I did some research and it turns out that the sex scenes are actually unsimulat...

Cassius Clay

Then just maybe don't comment on a question that's not relevant to you.

Can someone who cares explain or comment on the weirdly realistic sex scenes in Dogtooth?

Cassius Clay

Can someone explain why some of Dogtooth's sex scenes seem disturbingly realistic?

Perfectly edited

Rewatch 1. Me, Myself & Irene - I used to like this movie. What a mistake that was. I think it's because at the time it came out, I was a huge Jim Carrey fan and just automatically liked anything he was in. It's pretty bad, though. The character of Whitey is maybe the one good thing. Perhaps th...

Oof. Sorry to hear that, man. Keep us updated.

If you're not surprised by anything Trump does at this point, why should anyone else be? The only people that are constantly surprised by Trumps depravity are fools and liars. I was already beyond enraged about the death toll back when it was at like 20,000... still in the beginning stages, while co...

I knew you were a practicing Christian, but thought you were left-leaningish. Wouldn't have guessed you were conservative, let alone EVANGELICAL!

I've talked so much shit about Evangelicals on here lol

He's been begging to get it and it finally happened. Very happy for him.

Cassius Clay

A funny thing about all this is that I believe Trump is actually very easy to manipulate if you stroke his ego. Since he believes in nothing, he will do/support whatever it is you want if you're nice to him. Look at what Kim Kardashian was able to do with the lady she helped free from prison. Look a...

Cassius Clay

Let me clarify something: I'm not endorsing apathy or anything like that. What I'm saying is we should have been enraged/shocked a long time ago. The incredulity you're expressing shouldn't be new. But, even if it is, welcome to the party.

Cassius Clay

I didn't say I was surprised, I said the fact that we have incontrovertible proof that the POTUS intentionally murdered hundreds of thousands of citizens and it barely registers to most people and that elected officials can just casually dismiss it on television marks some sort of moral tipping poi...

1) Michael Brooks' "Nation-of-Islam-Obama" and "Bernie-or-bust-Bill-Clinton" are two of the funniest character-impressions I've ever scene. Don't forget right wing Mandela! Yep. And the origins of characters like this and "anti-sjw MLK" are part of what make them so fu...

I was digging into some of the details of the case recently...I've always kinda taken for granted that she was innocent based on the superficial media spectacle and conjectures...but I'm kinda shook now because, unless I read false information, too many of the details point to her and her boyfriend'...

Cassius Clay

I don't think any fraud was necessarily committed, but there was a lot of transparent colluding by establishment Dems to keep Bernie out.

Cassius Clay

I actually feel less angry but I'm definitely more cynical. But I think that just comes from more clarity and understanding of what's going on and what needs to be done. The primary definitely played a part.

Cassius Clay

The party will take the wrong lessons from either a win or a loss anyway. If they win they'll say they were right to say fuck off to progressives. If they lose they'll probably blame progressives anyway. If they suddenly decide to move left and start courting progressives, but lose, they'll obviousl...

Also, a lot of leftists(and/or abstainers) do this very frustrating/irrational thing where they simultaneously downplay AND overstate the importance of (and/or our influence over) electoral politics. Do elections matter or not? Stop downplaying the wrong things and overstating the wrong things. Over...

Cassius Clay

I've meditated on this issue over that last 4 years and my overall position is mostly the same, tho this time I'm more sympathetic to folks that believe in abstaining from voting. When Biden somehow "won" the nomination, my first instinct was "there's no way I'm voting for this mother...

Cassius Clay

You might like it then. It's about the search for a missing girl, so it has dark elements from the very beginning...even though I'd say the show is mostly light/comedic. But then it gets darker in unexpected ways, while somehow maintaining it's comedic elements. Weird show but I've enjoyed it so far.

Cassius Clay

It's such a strange comedy...it gets unexpectedly darker and darker as the story unfolds(which might be kind of a spoiler once you've been primed to expect that, but it's a difficult show to describe/recommend). I've never seen anything like it.

When I watched Ghost as a kid I thought it was funny, and when my sister and mom cried at the end I didn't get it. I was like, “What's so sad? He's going to heaven. I can't think of a happier ending." When I watched it as an adult with my wife I cried at the end. Ditto We watched Ghost last ni...

Rewatched the movie recently and realized that I've always taken for granted that it was Jack's hand, but when I saw it again it made more narrative sense for it to be Rose's.

Could also be Fabrizio's.

I see. So, Princess Bride was a good call. The girl really liked it. She caught the "as you wish" by the grandpa at the end(which I'd never noticed before), making it the second movie in a row where it's revealed at the end that the grandparent was all-along a main character in the epic st...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

I completely forgot about that Mario Bros. movie. Watched it at summer camp in '96.

What's the comparison to Blade Runner? It actually makes me think of 'The Fifth Element'.

So I have 13(girl) and 8(boy) year old younger siblings who I've been trying to introduce some classic 90s movies to. The boy definitely has ADD and the girl is on her phone half the time, so it's amazing to me whenever I can actually get them to sit and watch a movie for a couple hours. Last week I...

We're supposed to see them as some kind of necessary evil to fight worse evils...but definitely not good guys.

I still can't believe Kobe Bryant is fucking dead. And died in such a horrific way with his little girl and 7 other people. What the fucking fuck.

I'd say the end of 'The Witch' was more of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The lesson was not simply that they were right all along(ironically), but that their underlying bigotries/paranoia(though manipulated/exacerbated by the devil) helped create the conditions that led to those fears coming true.

Cassius Clay

The irony of the girl being pushed to selling her soul to the devil due to the misogynistic bs happening to her is a dark twist fitting for a horror movie.
