Yeah, I think Simon is the real hero—a realistic person in a sea of nutcrackers. Being normal and adult doesn't look glamorous, but he was stuck dealing with crybabies. It didn't help that his wife enabled Weirdo Gordo so much do to her lack of spine. And it didn't help that the wife was a nutty person, period, but calling her out on it looks like Simon is treating a *woman* (rather than just a crazy person) with firmness.
She is white.
I'm not even a big rock 'n' roll fan, but it has had me wondering what has happened to rock 'n' roll and the like. Where's the energy, the rawness, the passion, the rebellion? Gen Z is supposed (?) to be so into protest and fighting the system, but this Swift music is SO vanilla. Do people not have or desire any "edge" anymore?
It's as if people want things so "safe," so impervious to any sort of controversy or disagreement, that they have found in Swift some kind of unassailable goodie-two-shoes that does all the "right" things, no matter how boring that is.
Low-rent Wicker Man.
Not the best films overall, but for very special glimpses of Laura's beauty I like:
Vow of Chastity
Emmanuelle on Taboo Island
Get psyched.
Yes, and she still had side roles in several movies of the 1990s. She was happy just to be around the movies and do whatever.
I didn't seem awake at all to me. Christian BS is the sleepiest thing after, well, a few other religions that Christianity is better than, although not by much.
Welcome to EMOVILLE!
That's the look of snooty white London females.
You're lying again, and using hundreds of words to spin the lie. That's the psycho part.
<blockquote>Can you explain what the disconnect between those two quoted sentences are?</blockquote>
The first has double quotes and period (full stop) inside the quotes.
The second has single quotes and period outside.
One is American, the other is British. You've done it it so meticulously that it appears deliberate and not haphazard. That's psychopathic.
This isn't US culture. It's just media stuff. Yet you're speaking as if from a perspective of American culture.
That's why I asked "...speaking on these things LIKE THIS..." It doesn't sound like you're discussing something that happens to occur in USA. It sounds like you're pretending to be American, but the perspective makes no sense. It wouldn't enter any American's mind to make this claim about (US) White liberals. It could validly enter a non-American's mind to ASK about it, but you're not asking.
It's also puzzling, incidentally, why you would have one sentence like this...
"Yeah, Stalin was an okay dude, cos he helped us defeat Hitler."
...and another like this...
nor am I willing to call his wife 'ugly'.
Why such confusion about the difference between USA and UK?
I knew he was fake as soon as he put a period outside of single quotation marks, in a sentence implying that he was American making observations about Black Americans.
Why are you speaking on these things like this if you're British?
"he did not seem the least bit"
There we go with the superlatives again.
Another person, above, made a "cringe" comment, too.
What I'm unsure of is how that relates to my topic. It wasn't about whether you should cringe or not—the chances are high that lines from decades-old movies will make you cringe, especially if you belong to the generation that says "cringe," uses superlatives ("the worst ever") and the phrase "you do you." It was about how well he filled the role of portraying a younger version of Ford/Indy. Can you imagine someone doing it better? Who would that be?
Toronto is functionally the boondocks. They follow USA pop culture trends a bit late.
Now, USA pop culture trends aint all that. It's not as if following them "late" means there is anything wrong with Toronto. (You could say it means the opposite.) Nevertheless, Toronto follows more trends than it originates (and I'm not talking, like, some new Guyanese dish), and by definition it takes some time for those trends to spread from local USA places.
Thank you!
Still seems a little stretched though. Adopted at that age and took on the family's name (Kim)? OK, I guess that's fine, but erasing her past name is a bit much IMHO.
But more vexing—We "see" her Korean-ness (the actor's Korean-ness), which then adds up to the wacky effect as if, once the Korean family adopted her, she 1) learned Korean 2) took a Korean family name, AND 3) started looking physically Korean!
You do have a point tho. Not "white" in the sense of White actors but in terms of the aesthetics/message.
