My balls are figuritive by saying what I think when it seems so unpopular here.
Don't misunderstand me. I don't want to take away the strong women but I don't care to see that exclusively. I don't enjoy the trend of weak or evil males either.
Weak and evil men aren't very hot.
I like hot men (because I am a woman)
Of course I am. 100%
Are you saying that females, blacks etc must only have one way of looking at the world.?
I try to be fair and impartial. I'm a person first.
I've never been a fan of extremes and the world is currently full of them.
As a woman I know exactly what you're saying.
And while, yeah, it's great to see more positive and multi faceted approaches to women and minority characters I don't particularly enjoy the trend of having to often make the men less then or evil villian. It's an extreme and clumsy approach that takes me out of the action and often fails to entertain.
And don't even get me started on the destruction of heroic male characters in franchises just for the excuse of a gender swap.
Is it possible to elevate one group without sacrificing another? I think so. I'm hoping that this is a passing trend and will result in more balance. I can't be the only female that enjoys men sometimes on top.
The only thing that really made me like Lady Gaga less was when she made the comment that she was nothing like her character from A Star is Born. I thought that was a shame since I found her character far more likable than the image Gaga conveys.
But in the end who cares. Most celebrities are predictable and not really that interesting.
I know nothing about DM beyond the Bud Lite fiasco. It seemed a bad fit. But it's over.
For older tv worth watching I favor:
La Femme Nikita
Third Watch
Northern Exposure
The Killing
Maybe not so popular but .....Roman Polanski.
At that point he'd already been held....what....5 years? He was desperate to escape, I guess, and couldn't see any other way.
Did I think it was a good idea? No, but he has always lived on the edge and at that point felt he'd lost everything.
It fits Rick. He can get pretty whacked. He can be extreme.
I can't remember them all but I will occasionally watch a film with a 4 something rating. Just the other day I watched "Don't Blink" because I like trippy movies more than gory ones.
Generally speaking I allow a lower rating on films than series. I usually avoid series lower than 7 something. The series tend to be more accurate as to quality.
Well, this is long after the original post but I think she suffered from the hypocrisy of that era.
People in modern times don't really appreciate how repressed women prior to the 60's and especially would have in the 20's and 30's when the film was based. Females could be ostrisized with the wrong behavior and felt forced to live in a bubble.... and an out of wedlock pregnancy could ruin their entire lives.
Men often had a madonna/whore impression of women from their upbringings and, out of respect, would cheat with the bad girls. Women had few choices and all the double standards were easily enough to tip a teenager over the edge.
In the film there was also the divide between rich and poor. Buds father would never have allowed him to marry outside his class. By the end little of that mattered anymore but their time had passed. It couldn't be recaptured.
If you read the article honestly then it sounds more like the mother was the ass. She walked away from her young children after the divorce and had nothing to do with them. She didn't even know them.
When men do this we call them deadbeats...
I love dogs and do realize that some pitbulls can be gentle, sweet and complete teddy bears with children and small animals. But I do think it's pretty important to be acquainted with their history and lineage.
Some of the more aggressive have been bred extensively over and over for this quality and it will surface at some point. For some it is genetic. Not for all.
I do feel sad when I see so many filling up the shelters knowing that undoubtedly there's some great dogs going to waste in there. But how to know which ones.
I don't know...I don't much care for either and wish for other choices...but it seems impossible for anyone not to notice that literally everything was so much better 4 years ago.
Some people are totally uninterested in the truth of anything that happened before they were born ...especially if they disapprove of it.
How about a film where someone not only fathers themselves but also give birth to themselves. ...And they snag on smoking ...?!
Not woke...but otherwise kind of a disappointment. It could've been better.
Most remarkable is that co star Dominic Sessa had never acted before beyond school theater. He's a natural.
Troll...
NO....
I wish they still made films this good.
I'm not sure where you live but that part wasn't a difficult sale for me.
A harder sale was Julia Roberts unlikable character being suspicious of anyone showing up at the door in the middle of the night. It would've made sense to be suspicious if she wasn't such a tool.
What about Iran, N Korea, China, Russia?
The ease of antisemitic sentiment inserted into everything is alarming. ....
Most people do lose facial fat between the 20's and the 30's. It's flattering to some and not so much to others. Brie looks better now to me.
So far I'm finding it as intriguing as the first several seasons.....minority issues seem irrelevant as they should seem and the tomboyish daughter is still a daughter with her individuality intact.
