How racist of you to assume that the prisons are full of Negro's and they would rape her.
1. Get Out. 8.0/10
(The only "complete" movie with a great start, middle and ending)
2. Nope. 7.0/10
Enjoyable to look through, even if the plot itself was very flawed.
A bit of nostalgia, through the 90s sitcom and Western environment, a bit of Sign-like extraterrestrial mystery... but the ending was cheap and neglected.
3. Us. 6.0/10
A run-of-the-mill horror movie in the 2010s.
I think the common thread, besides Jupe, is Gordy being an animal, just like the horses and the UFO, and how the slightest mistake could be fatal in front of them.
The horse almost kicked the Hollywood people to death because of the mirror.
Gordy went on a rampage because of a balloon bursting.
The UFO ate people for looking at it and encroaching it's territories.
Another link would be it's effect on Jupe.
Jupe didn't only survive but was even about to bro fist Gordy before they killed him. That may have caused him to think he could tame and get along with the UFO as well.
Where?
99.99% of the taxi drivers here are men.
The 0.01% are fat, lesbian-looking women in their late 40s or early 50s.
Thank you for posting these unfortunate facts.
Sadly black over-representation in poverty was a meager 79%.
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development tells me that 39.4% of the homeless population is black. That's a 312% over-representation, which is better but clearly not enough as assaults on women is still a huge issue.
If we can turn the US into a nation of women and black hobo's then we can defeat sexual harassment and assaults against women once and for all!
He looks like the type who would fuck another man and call him a f*ggot.
but you pointed it out as if I didn't know about the Middle Eastern origins of Ashkenazis.
I'm saying that I associate Gal Gadot's Middle Eastern looks with inbreeding because it suggests that she's a descendant of those Ashkenazis who practiced strict endogamy. Ashkenazis, who descend from Middle Easterners, had been living in Central/North/East Europe for around a millennium. Many of them could pass as German or Russian, over time, due to conversion. And conversions and mixing became even more common in recent centuries as Ashkenazi became more liberal, more secular, or came into contact and intermarried with Sephardim and Mizrahim, particularly in Israel. However Gal Gadot's parents and grandparents appear to have continued the Medieval tradition.
Your response to this was "all Jews were originally Mizrahi", as if that wasn't a part of my point. Then you decided to claim that I didn't know that Jews came from Asia.
So yeah, we're saying the same thing about the Middle Eastern origins of Ashkenazis. However you acted as if I didn't, and you brought it up as if it refutes my point when it actually repeats it.
Levantine in Asia?
The region is known as Levant, not Levantine.
Someone from the Levant is a Levantine. You're not very bright, are you?
And yes, it goes without saying that the Levant is located in Asia. The fact that you even felt that you needed to point this out shows that you're still lost, or pretending to be stupid in order to get a reaction out of me.
Original Jews looked like modern day Samaritans and Palestinian Christians. Most have dark (curly & non-curly) hair and dark eyes, but the skin tone ranges from pale to light brown.
I didn't say Jews emerged as a group in Europe. Again you're being dumb, on purpose or not. I said Ashkenazi originated in Central Europe, where the amalgamation of several Jewish groups lead to the birth of Yiddish, a Judeo-Germanic language, which became one of their distinct features that separated them from Sephardim and Mizrahim.
Yes, Ashkenazim have significant ancestry from West Asia. Especially if they're unmixed, like Gal Gadot and Goldblum. And this was only possible through strict endogamy, which also meant cousin marriages during periods in certain areas that had a very small Jewish community.
Poles don't have dark features. But Poland has or had minorities of non-European origin, such as Tatars and Jews.
Western Russians are as light as they can be. Chechens, Circassians and Siberians are a different matter.
You still don't get it?
Ashkenazi descend from Levantines, and originated as a distinct Yiddish-speaking group in Central Europe.
We have Medieval DNA-samples from a diverse Jewish group in Erfurt, which combined are autosomally close to the current unmixed Ashkenazi average. That's yet another evidence of the strict endogamy that has been practiced by Ashkenazis in Europe.
However this changed in the last 2 centuries when many Ashkenazis married and reproduced with converts(in NA/Europe) and Sephardim and Mizrahim(in Israel).
Gal Gadot is from Israel but is only Ashkenazi.
And she has dark, oriental features for an Ashkenazi, which indicates that she only has Ashkenazi ancestors many centuries back.
You see now why I associate her with inbreeding?
You just repeated the same stupid point in different words.
Ashkenazi Jews being originally "Mizrahi" is a part of my point, dumbass.
And as informed as you might be about Jewish history, I'm pretty sure it can't compare to my extensive knowledge on Jews from a genetic and secular scientific perspective.
"Odd comment since ALL Jews were originally Mizrahi."
This sentence shows that you understood nothing of what I wrote.
Just the majority!
Who said it was concentration camps in Germany only?
Nazi Germany occupied half of Europe.
It reaches a level of existentialist philosophical inquiring which Alien can't compete with, let alone Aliens.
Without a doubt the best of them all.
Anti-Semitic?
More like anti-Ashkenazim.
However I like and respect Ashkenazi Jews.
But look-wise, there are stereotypical Ashkenazi features that are not pretty to say the least. And it's not the dark curly haired big nosed caricatures.
I love typical Semitic features such as large, hooked noses and curly dark hair.
But this is more prominent in Mizrahi Jews.
I associate Ashkenazis with pale freckled skin, reddish hair, although only a minority have that.
Gal Gadot doesn't look Ashkenazi, she looks Mizrahi, which suggests little to no admixture from North Europeans despite centuries as tiny minority in North/Central/East Europe...which is why I associate it with inbreeding.
Being an anthropologist doesn't automatically make me an expert on every trivial matter of ancient history.
My response was to the director's comments.
Her issue was with white actresses' portraying Cleopatra - not their height.
Cleopatra obviously wasn't Ashkenazi Jew, considering that Ashkenazi Jews didn't even exist at that point.
I'm referring to the groups that Ashkenazis descend from, which is ancient Levantines("Syrians"), Greco-Romans and some Slavic/Germanic converts.
It's not about appeasing to modern Egyptians.
What they think of Jews or Israel or Zionism or a movie about Cleopatra is of no relevance to my point.
As for the historical Cleopatra, I'm no expert on ancient descriptions of her physical features.
I'm going by typical features of the confirmed ethnic groups she's descended from.
What part would I not be serious about?
Ashkenazis being part European, part Middle Eastern?
Gadot is an Ashkenazi Jew.
Macaulay Culkin or some other Culkin.
I'm an anthropologist. YOU need to open and read history books that weren't written by nationalistic charlatans.
Why are you equalling Levantine with Arab?
Arabs are from the Peninsula.
The indigenous peoples of Levant spoke Canaanite languages in the south and Ugaritic and Eblaite in the north.
If you even knew the basics of human history, you'd know that there has always been migrations. All the peoples are connected in some ways.
Ancient Balkan peoples were intermediate between West Anatolians and Central Europeans.
Ancient Mesopotamians were intermediate between Levantines and Peninsular Iranian peoples. Etc,
Africa is an enormous continent. The north and south have almost nothing in common.
Africa also shares landmass with Asia, which means that a north-east African country like Egypt has bigger ties to south-west Asia than to countries south of the vast Sahara desert.
The roots of Egyptian civilization lie in the agricultural revolution that took place in Middle East. It reached Egypt thousands of years later through migrants from the Levant.
There is such a thing as DNA. We happen to have ancient DNA from all over the world, and have been able to extract autosomal, paternal(Y) and maternal(mt) DNA.
The ancient Egyptians were similar to Copts of today.
Muslim Arab Egyptians of today have more Sub-Saharan DNA than ancient Egyptians!
This is due to slave trade and migration of Sudanese and Zanjis.
