We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Yeah she has this one vid where she talks about toxic masculinity or something, and explains how once when she was a teenager, before she transitioned, she was really cranky one day and literally threw her cat into a wall.

That’s a common experience I see a lot with women I know trying to get help, especially if they deal with certain medical or physical conditions. It sucks big time, and I’m sorry you’ve been going through the same.

Not being aggressive at all, just clarifying a few things so as to maintain a productive conversation with a shared understanding of the topics of focus.

That is, a Spielberg film remains a Spielberg film whether the DP is Janusz Kaminski or Doug Slocombe.

Even for guys like me who are quite big on the auteur theory, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who literally believes the director singlehandedly did everything.

For this kind of discussion, the purpose of auteur theory as a framework is to help organize any given analysis around how a filmmaker’s presence, ideas, style, and storytelling sensibilities can be found across their filmography, even as their creative partners might change.

Auteur theory doesn’t exist to discredit the contributions of a director’s creative partners on their films. It explicitly accounts for such contributions.

This is wrong and inaccurate. They are Mark Zuckerberg’s Pervert Glasses.

I haven’t been able to hope for a better tomorrow ever since I read Victor Hugo’s Les Mis and Notre Dame de Paris ✌️😔✌️

Oh yeah, I’m familiar with that rumor. I tend to get zealous about wanting to set the record straight on things like that because it’s easy for people to have the idea that she’s uncredited or unpaid for her work, even when she herself expresses contentment with her role and recognition.

I love the little Mickey Mouse on her shoulder gesturing to her face — like the avatar of The Walt Disney Company, a famously uncynical institution, is all like “Listen to HER!”

'You believe in voting? That pales in comparison to my strategy of policing what kind of fiction people make and gravitate towards'

Interesting video topic, title, and thumbnail, given that she is one of the most cynical Content Creators I’ve ever known or interacted with.

Right down to dirty deleting parts of her vids with when she’s called out for lying without giving a proper explanation…

How do you reconcile your assertion that Marcia Lucas isn’t credited as an editor on the Special Edition releases with the observable reality that she is credited as an editor on the Special Edition releases?

Oh look, the same grifter who hosted Aranock to make the assertion that George Lucas re-edited the original trilogy to cheat Marcia out of residuals.

As well as suggesting that George Lucas “decayed as an artist,” whatever the f*ck that means

We’re talking about the quality of a specific character under normative filmmaking standards, not about your personal disappointment with the trilogy as a whole. Stay on topic, please.

Using the word "letdown" gives the game away entirely.

You're judging these movies solely on how they stack up as follow-ups to the memories of movies you grew up with.

If history's verdict is delivered by a bunch of Gen X bigots who don't know how trade routes work, then lol

Few, if any lines, in the Saga are more hotly debated than the final sentence Mace Windu says in the prequel trilogy.

It's pretty rare for literally every line in a screenplay to be so superbly iconic and quotable, and yet here Revenge of the Sith is, with nonstop bangers, from every character with a speaking role.

The auditorium for my screening of the Revenge of the Sith 20th anniversary release was packed to capacity, and several groups in the audience recited, along with several other scenes, this entire interaction in unison.

There should be a new rule in art critique that you’re not allowed to say something is bad without providing a direct example and then explaining your position.

Leaders of middle-power countries keep telling us how TERRIFIED we should be of scary China, Iran, Russia.

What’s REALLY scary to me is how every 4 years global security basically depends on a fucking handful of swing voters in Wisconsin.
